I do, I plan to talk about it next session. Appreciate your insight. 💜

Thanks, I’ll try to listen to music more. This is more when I’m alone tho. I’ll just ruminate on why people don’t reply occasionally and feel shitty. Like I’ll wonder why they don’t respond and it makes me anxious. And then when I talk to them in person I have some anxiety because of that. It’s...

Honestly, she sounds toxic. A real friend would have empathy and kindness towards you when you are experiencing grief and additionally struggling with PTSD after being a victim of a crime. I know it’s hard, but you’re better off without her. You’ll find your tribe. Clinical depression doesn’t...

Hang in there, it gets easier. I think it’s just life. We all perceive things differently and these kinds of misunderstandings are common. Take all the time you need to heal and move on. Please try not to blame yourself for everything. Hugs.

I can relate, your not alone. I hope you have at least one close friend who supports you. That makes all the difference. My surrogate family of my close friends and my partner has really helped. My best advice is find your tribe and continue with therapy. Meds have really helped me too. But I...

Lately, I’ve been having social anxiety over silly things. My old, close friend hasn’t been very responsive and my new coworker both through text. I noticed that I sounded grumpy a bit when I talked to my coworker in person today and they left early shortly after that and seemed mad at me. But...

Just saw your comment, really appreciate your insight. I do plan to get CBT and EMDR therapy sometime soon. Im doing timeline regression therapy presently and it helps to a degree. Creative outlets really do help as you’ve stated. I paint, draw, and write poetry. Appreciate you acknowledging my...

Important insight, thank you.

Beautiful, pls keep writing poems

@Movingforward10 My heart goes out to you. I just want to work on my traumas, make sense of them, and move past them. Have a better understanding and tools to deal with PTSD. Just talking about it with a counselor in the past hasn’t been that effective. So, I’ll definitely be looking into CBT...

I can relate to having abusive parents. My father molested me and my mom psychologically and verbally abused me occasionally and gaslights me. And of course my brother is the golden child who still lives with her at 26, while I was thrown in a group home at 18, 14 years ago. Hard relate, we’ve...

My heart goes out to you. I hope you get the help and healing you need.

Hi folks, Just an introduction and looking to talk to people who have been through similar things and how they were able to heal and recover. My PTSD developed when I was 9 after sexual abuse. It was worsened when my classmates found out the following year and cruelly bullied me about being a...
