The Backstory.
It is really funny how I got here. Rape survivor, domestic violence survivor, emotionally detached from my mother, super close to my grandma yet found her dead on a random day cpr attempt from me that didn't help and the vision of her that won't go away...
But get into a...
I literally got diagnosed with C-PTSD today. But I have felt something was wrong for a while. In my 33 years of life for the most part I have identified as a lesbian. The end of last year I woke up (believe it or not) and felt like I wanted a baby and a two parent house ( Man and Woman) out of...
Thank you and I am glad to know what I have been dealing with for a long time. Now it seems obvious but for years I thought I was "strong" and could just put emotional things in storage. I think the last thing I tried to put in storage triggered everything. Memories, nightmares, panic attacks...
So hello I joined this site as a supporter. Crazy long story... My current ex has combat PTSD and our break up was out of the blue (our planned pregnancy triggered him). I had signed up to receive psychiatric care because I felt something was really off ( prior to the break up). I have felt so...
This sounds as if we are life story twins. But I have 3 years over you so I will share what I came up with ( the funny thing is at 30 is when I discovered this). Ok so. Parents are human. They have issues and back stories that we may never even know about. From 0 to 18 years by law they are...
I think a little bit of this is close to Narcissistic Personality Disorder. The first part of a love relationship for both of them can be a relief of symptoms. (Actually quite a few sufferers said this on a thread I posted.) I have been with one diagnosed Narc and one that I am pretty sure was...
I just had two break ups in under a month with my ex (vet). This last one he accused me of being "fake" and he knew I was fake from the beginning and I played him. I understand he needed me to be an enemy to get away. It hurts though because I wasn't his enemy. I was very much a support to him.
Thank you guys for explaining it to me from your side... It still hurts. We planned the pregnancy and now I am homeless having to pick up the pieces by myself. I really do understand how uncomfortable he must feel and I love him to death. I just wish I knew this could trigger him so much. He is...
Thank you. May I ask how is it that you can control it? He told me about it eventually but the extent of it now is really bad. Pushing me away, kicking me out the house, leaving me pregnant and getting ready to move to another state.... I really feel like I was really misled and I have to end up...
I have anxiety myself. But you might see it the first day I meet you or the third. I cannot hide it at all. My boyfriends PTSD on the other hand slowly came out. How is it that when a person with PTSD is dating you they don't show as many signs. When you get closer then everything comes out.
