@Anarchy ... Oh my stars I love it!! Haha. Stoked to get some of that knowledge in my life <3

Hey @Saint Nik i do!! It's very hard sometimes. And now and again, I'll smoke a bit to take a break. But I've never taken meds. Sometimes I'm up, sometimes I'm down. I feel like learning more about how your PTSD effects you and working with that is the most important thing.

It effects my work out routine and what kind of job I can handle.

Maybe it's anxiety related? Are you having anxiety attacks at night? Is it trauma related?

... When your significant other gets mad at you for sharing your trauma(you've only shared it once) Then doesn't want to hear about your PTSD?

Hope all is well!! Sounds like quite the adventure.

Good luck out there!!

@Jass_T i think in a healthy relationship, you should be able to lightly bring up your PTSD. Tell them what you need to avoid dysfunction. The point they made was not from a PTSD stand point. It was from a person who's seen a lot of excuses.

-you act like ants are in your pants because you had to sit with your back to the door. -your bug out bag is better than something the military would come up with. -you black out and beat the snot out of an attacker and you're nothing but stoked when you come to. -you're way too socially...

I walked into the hardware store and there was a not even 3 month old black lab puppy sleeping on the counter by the register :roflmao:

Rooibus with honey and milk :inlove:

@DogwoodTree thats exactly my story(with the exception of the age difference)! I feel that any lingering victim mentality leads me to be in relationships with people who want to fix me or narcissists. Then when they've pushed me far enough to where I don't care (or they've heard enough about my...

@sun seeker I believe it. Unfortunately now though, I'm just confused. Lol

@Saint Nik I don't believe in that saying at all! I could hate what a serial killer does and never hurt a fly. I've had to detach myself from tons of people too. That's why I asked. It's hard out there for the empathetic.

@Saint Nik how would you say that's effected friendships and romantic relationships? If you don't mind me asking. Your experience sounds very similar to mine.

@scout86 i could see that. I attract narcissists so hard core. Thanks for the input!! I appreciate the help!! @FridayJones thanks so much for your input!! I think I got a little paranoid. I attract narsasistic personalities.. And I can be overly empathetic.

Huh. @Justmehere .. Would that just bring me back to narsiscm though? Maybe I'm paranoid. I feel like I can think like you just described. But I also over check myself. But I think too deeply. I would love therapy, but I can afford it.

how do I know if I'm a narsastist? I talk a lot about my issues because they're overwhelming. But I will also over diagnose myself. Help?

When you think you're the crazy one in a relationship because you have PTSD and severe anxiety, but really he's verbally abusive and making excuses. .. Root cause of my anxiety. Happens every time.

@Marylost sending lots of loving thoughts your way <3 what a heartbreaking situation!! I would just try to focus on spending time with your mom as much as you can. And do little things to make her happy.

Welcome!! @kmackenzie

@thealbatross there are other options, but until I'm more stable I can neither afford those or get to stability. I've been waiting it out for 20 years. My life needs stability to get there. Can't afford counseling without stability. But I need something just to get me to the next step.

So I wake up with anxiety more and more frequently. I always thought I had trust issues, but I think I've just been directing my anxiety at others. Usually I wake up with something to be anxious about, but last night I woke up with a clear head and anxiety. It took away half a nights sleep...

@Fadeaway that makes sense. I was always raised to think I could avoid a way to not be perfect. I'm sure I do feel guilty and I've been getting jaded about it. I've always loved animals so much. I've tried to stop loving them too. Then I think I'm a little off balanced if I swoon over a...
