I’m so tired of all the violence all the way around on every side possible. It’s wearing on me so heavy. I’m not going to go into every issue I have surrounding all this. But one thing I do want to understand, so if anyone can enlighten me please do! Why was there not any of this same outrage...

Tbf it’s almost impossible to avoid the stories. I get why, but from a mental health aspect- I feel you.

Thank you, I’ve been mulling over this today and frankly it’s a brilliant perspective and I need to practice it.

I’m sorry ?

Otherwise known as codependency on steroids. I feel this deep sense of needing to “fix” all of the things wrong. I know this has got to be related to the fact that I was always the fixer growing up and even now. I’m the one who settles fights, gives advice, is almost entirely depended on to...

Unpopular question probably but I’m genuinely curious (for everyone, not just OP): What is so bad about having docs talk to each other about you? I get not wanting a doc to tell a random person all about your private stuff. But isn’t it safer if docs can communicate without making you the go...

So. . . Okay. I think two different things are mentioned here and I’m hoping I got them straight. A ghost, which okay, I mean I don’t think we’re alone in this universe but why pick on you? And the first thing you mentioned breaking up with someone- I’m assuming not the ghost. So, have you...

Is she in therapy? And are you in your own therapy? You need support too. You can’t pour from an empty cup, oxygen mask, all that Jazz.

I do this. It’s a way for me to stay grounded and not completely shut the world out. When talking about something I don’t want to, I can easily completely zone out (dissociate) and the discussion will go pretty much nowhere. I might respond “appropriately” but I’m not really hearing/my mind is a...

Yup exactly lol. I do wish you luck on the endo though, I have heard that pain is excruciating.

On top of that being normal PTSD, hormones will do that too and ughh. Awhile back I had to take clomid (hormones to get pregnant), and I didn’t know I had PTSD though I definitely did but I wasn’t medicated for it or in therapy and omg it was pure hell. I was such a raging bitch, turned crying...

I know you say you can’t afford a psychiatrist, but have you looked for any therapists that offer sliding scale payments? Or contacted MHMR (if you are in the US)? This is something you should definitely work with a professional on. In the meantime, how about creating safety while you are out...

Bumping this up for you cause I’m hoping others will have advice. I feel this so much. Just remember- hormones are the devil and likely 99% of the issues you’re having right now. No idea how to fix that though.

I would definitely line up some therapy soon if you haven’t already. . . This site may not be good for you personally and that’s okay. Different things work for different people. Do people get in arguments or disagreements on here and get triggered and such? Absolutely, but that’s no different...

If you feel it was real (regardless of any proof) than it is absolutely worth bringing up in therapy. A therapist worth half their salt is not going to judge you and is going to help you work through it.

I’ve noticed there are a lot of people who go for multiple times a week for years on end and as nice as that can sound, doesn’t it hinder things? I mean the point of therapy is of course trauma healing, but to also be able to cope with life and triggers on your own right? I can see it being...

@Ronin, gotcha thank you!

I’m not sure how surgery equals a younger group. . . All ages are more than capable of developing PTSD. . . I’m confused by your post.

You know the whole you have a problem for every solution is completely in your power to change right? It doesn’t have to be a welp this is who I am so deal with it kind of thing. You’re capable of changing whatever you want, as long as you want it bad enough and willing to put in the work. As...

Could you put yourself on a budget or a limit? For instance, you have X you can spend on whatever for the month and when that runs out make a running shopping list of other things you want to get once the budget refreshes. I would also try to limit the books to maybe 1 a week and do the...

Exercise! Seriously, some kind of mma/kickboxing is awesome for wearing out the energy and letting you just pure rage. If you have a rage room near you- that’s an awesome way too. Art helps, especially when it’s not so much rage anymore but the stuff under it. Medication, it can take a bit...

So for me the process of being in nature or doing yoga is eliminating distractions. In nature I’m able to allow myself to really feel the happiness it gives me which ultimately allows other feelings to come up. Having the quiet, peacefulness takes down the constant chatter of everyday life and...

It’s a similar concept to how race was treated not that long ago in the US. A person of color is someone to be feared because they’re “different”, they make an easy scapegoat for everything wrong everywhere. So if we just avoid them or corral them into our control then we will be safe from them...

For now yoga, meditation, and grounding by being outside and with animals helps. Also, writing things out and going over them with my T.

Absolutely struggle with this and working on it but damn it’s hard. My family is one who doesn’t ask for help in general because you are just supposed to innately know how to do everything or be able to figure things out and if you can’t than you must be incredibly stupid. That’s from all sides...
