    Got diagnosed with PTSD today

    Well, my mom already suggested that I had it, and my dad will probably go down the "I thought only war veterans had ptsd" route. Either way I'm just not sure of how they'll take it, and if I should wait with telling them until I'm back home for summer vacation, so I can do it in person. I...

    Got diagnosed with PTSD today

    I was talking to my new T (I'm Bipolar type 2, with ASD and ADHD, general anxiety and depression) And I got the "verdict" today, if you could say that. Turns out I actually do have PTSD I'm a little sad, but also relieved, I've been invalidating all of my struggles as "just me being lazy...

    I want to get this under control for my partner/caretaker

    That is certainly nice, he's currently pressing my brother for money, I've been talking to my partner and we are going through with it. My ex have been writing all kinds of nasty stuff about me on his twitter according to a couple of friends of mine, they tried to call him out on it, but he was...

    I want to get this under control for my partner/caretaker

    God I wish that were me, Ironically enough I was hinting towards it like "hey look here's my new bf! He's a lot nicer!", think is she has low self esteem, and she knew my ex for a while (close to a decade, they would mostly just hang at parties or whatever), But she just knows the the version...

    I want to get this under control for my partner/caretaker

    Yeah that is rough, I have never really threatened with suicide, but I had an ex who did, and he was a paranoid schizophrenic (my first bf, so yeah off to a good start) I tried to cut ties more than once, it's straight up evil using someone's kindness like that. Tbh it took me a couple of years...

    I want to get this under control for my partner/caretaker

    I wish I could stop, because it's exactly like that, my partner have been there every part of the way, but I still gets like this, worrying about him turning out to be different then who he is. My ex was good at hiding his true self away from me, I was very vulnerable when we met, he would...

    I want to get this under control for my partner/caretaker

    So first of all, I read all of your responses and I was so anxious about getting back to the thread for some reason. Now I feel like an idiot for even being worried about opening up in the first place But this support, and feeling of validation is something I haven't gotten from any T, or any...

    I want to get this under control for my partner/caretaker

    - Ok, so, I'm so so sorry about my over activity, but I don't have anywhere else to go until I get my new therapist, I feel like I'm hanging off the edge, but I'm trying to stay strong, but it's just getting increasingly harder lately (my old therapist wasn't great: "oh but see you have good...

    growing up without a spine, so how do I get one?

    I've been looking for more self help books, and this one looks interesting, but yeah falling into old patterns is easy and I feel you on that.

    growing up without a spine, so how do I get one?

    My partner went through the same thing, we constantly have to remind each other that we can say no, even among ourselves. It's hard to learn how to stick up to yourself, and it's messy, but it'll be worth it in the end

    growing up without a spine, so how do I get one?

    So, essentially, I grew up without a spine, my mom would emotionally and physically abuse me, and blame me for a lot of nonsensical stuff. And that snowballed down the line, being an empath and a people pleaser is the worst life decision that I've made, and you could probably blame half of my...

    Undiagnosed Autist with Bipolar II and ADHD looking to figure out some stuff, so thanks for having me <3

    Hey so, I found this place looking around google, I'm here to connect with people like me, since I don't really relate to people already in my life. For context, I do not have a official ptsd diagnosis, but there's been some speculation from my mom's side, considering my brother has it. Either...
