Understand AI use at MyPTSD: all AI use is explained in our AI help page. AI use is by choice here. It exists if you want it, but does nothing unless you choose to use it.
Uhm, I guess what I mean is you still have that sorta dominant voice in your head but everything else seems to be detached.
It kinda feels like part of me has separated from the rest?
I have no idea what this is and can't seem to find anyone with anything similar. I want to say disassociation but I'm not sure.
What do you call not being able to hear your own thoughts and feelings and opinions clearly or at all, almost kind of like ignoring them but not being able to stop...
No they aren't recent changes with medication or anything, I've been dealing with it for years. They are a mix of both but mostly parallel...like I go to remember how to do something and then it's interrupted and I forget how to do the thing. And I definitly get intrusive thoughts. It's hard to...
Perhaps that's what it is? Maybe it's that I overthink so fast and so much the stuff gets jumbled up and lost. Sorta like tangled wires that are also unplugged...
Does anyone have this? Where you have your brains initial reaction to things like opinion or emotion but you immediately think over it with something else and then think over that? Can someone tell me if this has an official term or how to help fix this issue? It literally feels like my...
Hmm...my advice to you would maybe not mention your're trans while looking for therapists, and then when you finally have one definitely bring it up. I've personally never encountered an issue where therapists just don't accept you because of a certain thing you have. That's odd to me. Most will...
Gosh, if only I could be the real me too...eventually, I think I will get there and I think a lot of people with ptsd will too. I understand that a lot of us will never be the exact same again, but to have your old, original 'ME' back even a little bit would be amazing I think.
I have a hard time even showing them to my therapist...I'm worried that if I don't I won't get the help I need but at the same time I don't want him to know. It's very...uh, I'm not sure what it is. Confusing? Idk. have you developed a better sense of self because you let yourself feel?
Ah, yes! I have this also, and I never really thought about it being related to PTSD. Honestly I thought it was just a personality trait. Often I can't tell who is more intelligent than others, everyone seems to be stupid or isn't sure of what they are talking about because I've MADE SURE I knew...
It's just so difficult, what's interesting though is sometimes (maybe once or twice my entire life, but recently) I am able to really hear in my head what the emotion is and it sounds crystal clear, but it's almost like I think OVER my thoughts and I kind of already forgotten how to listen to...
So it's really stressing me out that I'm even writing about this and I don't know why. It seems feeling emotion (and admitting I have one or even admitting that I don't) gives me a lot of anxiety and when one starts to come up I immediately push it away and forget about it instantly, and I'm not...
I thought about it but I decided releasing my problems from my head and having them out in the real world was too upsetting. They feel safer in my mind, know what I mean?
Has anyone over their past years ever thought that something about you was different than everyone else around you? Like, you understand everyone has different personalities and perceptions and what not, but you always had this vague gut feeling that that's not quite what it is? Kind of like...
