When it comes to a diagnoses that you are unsure of, the best option for any feild of medicine is to get a second opinion. I have had to do this with hearing problems and mental things as well. It is certainly within reason to say, "I know me better than anyone else knows me. I believe this...

Honestly if it is with people, I try to first watch how they react to other people. Sometimes I ask my friends. Generally though, if the feeling persists and I cannot push it away or find reasons as to why it would relate to ptsd, I stick too it. This is especially true for me bc I have...

I have a counselor who I haven't met with in a while but am seeing again on monday. Thank you for your well wishes.

Thank you for resoinding and letting me know I am not alone in my symptoms. My family has taken to mocking my symptoms, so its just made me feel worse. I am meeting with my counselor about it though. I dissasociate too, usually when I remember what traumatic things have happened in a specific...

Its financial as well as other legal reasons. I only have less than a year and a half before I can move in with my partner though. I didn't think of going on a retreat and will definitely have to look into that ! Thanks for the suggestion. Currently, I am looking into scholarships that will...

I actually have a meeting with my councelor tomorrow. I'm hoping she can help me out, but- though I am trying to keep myself optimistic- in the past when I met with her she only would say things about what is going on with me without sending me somewhere to get an official diagnosis. I'm hoping...

Hi I'm Daniel I grew up in/am stuck in an abusive home and won't be able to leave til a little less than a year and a half from now. Because of my upbringing I have ptsd. Honestly, I don't know how to function. I feel like I'm constantly burdening the people around me by being depressed/...

You make a good point, Suzetig. Iyllsa, if you try to encourage your brain to think of this as something positive, that may help your situation. I know you can't magically think away your anxiety, but a soft reminder to yourself that this is for the best and will offer you as well as your friend...

Hi friend, this is actually called stimming ! Tons of people stim in different ways, especially those who are neurodivergent like those with anxiety, ptsd, or who are on tbe autism spectrum. People who aren't neurodivergent do this as well. Its just your body coping with emotions, be they...

My abuser (one of them at least) frequently walked in on me in the shower as well. I didn't take a proper shower for over six months at one point, could only take quick baths that ended as soon as my panic attacks started. For me it helped to wash my hair in the sink and it might help you to...

Hey, I get where youre coming from. I'm feeling the same way right now too. I used to be able to find comfort in my faith, but lately I havent been able to and I've had to find other reasons to stay alive. My partner, my friends, even my dog. I stay alive for the woman who always comes by my...
