Terrific! I feel the same. There's another one I'm on called myptsd. You should look into it if you haven't already!

... to sing something I wrote about coping with my trauma. Anyone out there have a good voice? Girls, please. That's just the way I need it to be.

I'm not entirely sure. I've heard some victims have an increased sex drive. I was abused at a young age (14-15) but I had just about no sex drive before that and quite an intense one ever since. I never thought it was related, but I suppose it could be.

Spiderallis, I know what you mean. What I deal with is more characteristic of C-PTSD (or DESNOS?) than just PTSD, but as I went to see an official diagnostician, PTSD was the only diagnosis he could really give.

NF types, especially, tend to be very empathetic in general. Even more so the INFP and INFJ, because introverts tend to be better at reading people. These types are typically the sort who cry when they see someone else crying and become utterly enraged when reading an article about human rights...

In what way?

Yeah, I took the test, but I didn't fit into what I got at all, and nothing I read about really fit me in terms of enneagram. Odd.

This link explains Identity Disturbance. Does anyone else feel that they deal with this in relation to PTSD/C-PTSD or due to a trauma? I have this a lot. One moment I think I'm sexy and beautiful and smart and funny and friendly and badass, and the next I'm fat and pale and ugly and unlovable...

hey, you, don't even whisper the silence like a blanket keeps you safe the monster in the closet can't get you 'til you speak so behave don't make a sound the lights are only getting brighter all you have to do is wait and hope the night will be over soon the fear is all around...

I've known and been seeing this therapist since elementary school. He's great and a close friend. But every time he's asked direct questions about the rape, I've had basically a dissociative episode and stopped responding and he's had to call me back to the present.

I'm Anna. I'm scared. I'm starting PTSD therapy this week. Or next week. Depends when we can schedule the appointment. It was 3 years ago. No one believed me. I don't want to talk about it in detail but I'm going to have to for therapy. That scares me. I'm tired of driving people away because of...

And it wasn't just me. He once confessed to me that he'd touched his little sisters before coming to boarding school, where we met when I was 14. He was my best friend. He's currently living in Texas. Happily, I assume

Only song I have is Cosmic Love. It's my alarm and my ringtone!

Thanks! Music is great.

The results of this poll are unsurprising to me. People who are very sensitive tend to be more empathetic, but also more prone to something like PTSD. The correlation makes sense.

Why do some people have the "sufferer" or "supporter" label? How do you get one of those? I'm confused.... And welcome! I'm new too. Haha. I'm about to start therapy. Can you tell me a little about EMDR and EFT?

You don't have to take the test. If I get to know you a bit I could figure out your type. You sound like an NF, the (typically) more empathetic types. I could send you links to descriptions of the 4 NF types and you could decide which is most accurate for you! haha

Hi. I'm going to go by Anna. It's not my given name, but it's the name I've always felt I belonged to. I just got my final-word diagnosis on Wednesday (02.26). ADHD, anxiety, depression, PTSD. I'm anemic, and it's been very bad lately, which is an added stressor. I've suspected PTSD for a while...

Yes! I'm an INFJ, and I have a MENSA level IQ. To be frank, it's killer. Being hyper-aware and analytical, hugely critical of society, and extremely empathetic on top of preexisting anxiety and depression, as well as PTSD... it's a soup from Hell. Do you know your MBTI by any chance?
