I'm doing a lot better with this whole pandemic isolation thing than most people in my life and I just realized: I've been feeling isolated for YEARS! I've gotten accustomed to it and I anticipate it'll continue for the rest of my life. No wonder I'm not phased by the isolation from the...

For 10 years I've been seeing my T for my PTSD from being stalked by my exBF after I broke up with him because I caught him fondling my best friend while she was unconscious. My T readily admits she specializes in trauma and isn't good with relationship dynamics. That being said, I'm having...

Having treated so much of my PTSD I do feel stronger and wiser, but I also find it increasingly difficult to spend time with people in casual interactions. I feel like everyone else lives in a world where sociopaths like my serial rapist ex only exist in fiction. I used to live there, too -...

My therapist first suggested PTSD for me 6 months ago. I've been seeing her since I started having panic attacks 8 years ago, but only just told her about my experience being stalked by my ex, who raped 2 of my friends, was accused of rape by 3 other women in my presence, and carved my name into...
