I hate when m9vies are misrepresented.started watching something that was sort of promoted like a love triangle between soldier and his wife and brother. Turned out it was more about the PTSD of said soldier from what he experienced and the gap between him and his family when he came back. And...

When you hear or see something triggering and suddenly it's like you're split between the present and feeling like you're looking at your life from above and you can't recognize and everyone seems normal and far from you. And you can't remember the month or season or realize what you do has...

Woke up in panic and the dream (nightmare) is still pulsing through my body, coming back in pieces and waves and I can't detach from it immediately. Like there is danger in it that I need to remember to protect myself. The details still k like sand on your wet skin and I can't fully shake it off.

I don't know honestly. It's confusing because a lot of what they describe can overlap with the feelings you get from childhood trauma as well, just to a bigger degree. I went over the major depressive disorder symptoms and I tick almost all of them. However in the psychotic I relate to the same...

@Abstract I can relate, living with my parents is the same. Have to cope for now. It has it's calmer moments like now and I am doing my best to use those, but it's hard. Me right now: Didn't know how much my body needed yoga after 10 days of no exercise. All my muscles were in knots and now...

Do you have any success stories or experience on that? I started taking emergency medication for panic attacks at frst because I was in a relationship and he wasn't handling me struggling very well. 10 Years later on and off and I am not sure exactly what to do. I mean I am coping but I...

But can that count, if I repeatedly tried to reach them, and was constantly told they don't want to talk? How is that caring for me if I desperately tried talking to them and they sent him with no warning whatsoever ever? Please help me understand. The good thing is my brother's words worked on...

Thank you, this was really supportive and helpful, I needed to hear this!! I hope both of us find enough strength for going through or coping with those issues. I'll give it another shot tomorrow. Setting up a bullet journal I'm excited about for a first time in weeks. The a6 one just didn't...

So it's been sort of a full on weekend. I had my second ever teaching class, I saw my brother for a first time in a year and a half, my parents asked him to talk to me about my working or lackthereof when I have issues, because my mom just can't be bothered to try directly talking with me and he...

@Defaultxlove hope it feels better soon! @Teasel I'm sad and overwhelmed too. But I promise you're not insignificant! You matter at us here on the forum, and I'm sure for people in your life. It's a feeling and it will pass! 🫂

Praying for you and sending you all the strength I can @Defaultxlove 🫂. Let us know how it went!

Hurt. I miss my ballet family and I saw videos from their class today and everyone did so beautiful and I feel so the opposite and I miss being there and I feel heartbroken I can't return for some bit more. That I can't give an exact return deadline. That I can't go to a studio here to be in...

@leafytrees Right there with you, feeling the same things. Also humiliated. My parents don't want to deal with me or talk about my mental health so much they asked my brother to talk to me on certain issues because they can't be bothered anymore. Also angry.

Just had a long talk about job prospect, options and mental health with my brother. On one hand probably needed. On the other it feels like my head is buzzing from questions and discussions and I just need to switch off for a while.

Second time teaching going well (1-on-1)

Fog. The mental fog... is that a feeling!? 😂🫠

Yes, please do, I will appreciate that. Might be silly but doing things on paper always work more for me than digital and I'm thinking of starting my own version of a war binder - motivation stuff, prayer, mental health stuff... things for the low days. So I'd love that.

I feel 1% better than yesterday and I'm grateful.

Thank you so much for this! I had forgotten who I am for a second but it will come back. I'll try to get my faith back more intentionally now. 3rd day of normal dose medication, I think things are finally evening out a bit, since the lower dose was just a week. I don't feel the greatest, but not...

I can relate to a lot of the hard stuff. Glad for the good stuff and I hope I can say the same in a few months. Welcome back and may your day is peaceful too! I'm terrible in connection lately so I'm here trying to do better.

This hits home today, I'm so angry at everything I've lost this year that it keeps me stuck. I have to let go.
