I don't have a 'theme song' per se, but I have songs that I really connect to when I'm having a hard time or songs that make me happy. Some examples: - Chandelier, Elastic Heart and Big Girls Cry all by Sia (must be in that specific order... it just makes sense to me haha) - Any and all songs...

I have MDD, GAD, CPTSD and I'm 99% sure I have BPD. Too scared of invalidating to ask though

I am constantly told that the things my mother does is abusive, and sometimes I think she has been, but I feel that I am making things up? Yet other times, things at home get so bad that I want to die. I've thought of running away, but I'm scared of what would happen in terms of police...

@Justmehere thank you so much. I really appreciate your kind words and help :))

@shimmerz thank you for your support. If you look at the comment I tagged justmehere in, she was actually gone for awhile. I am pretty upset that she was gone for so long when I needed her, but I also fault myself for not reaching out to her :/

@Justmehere I'm doing much better, thanks. I've dissociated a few more times but nothing that was unmanageable. My mom was actually involved in past abuse, but she wasn't fully aware of what was happening at the time (I was raped for three years by her partner, and he also manipulated her a...

She thinks that some of my symptoms are "made up", like my dissociation. I think she just doesn't quite understand how PTSD has many other symptoms other than being depressed and anxious. I do have a therapist, but I just started seeing him again after a break (I thought I would suddenly be...

1. What event made you get PTSD? (Please explain it in detail) Three years of childhood sexual abuse and emotional abuse. 2. Could you recognize the disorder yourself? And did you have any idea of the disorder before you got it? I had no idea. I thought I was just depressed, but it turns out...

Thank you all for your suggestions and tips! I'm going to write them all down for future use.

I'm 14, so I still live with my mom. When it comes to me depersonalizing or disassociating, she thinks I fake it all for attention (which I don't), so I'm assuming she just waved it all off. But I also do hope she was right.

So my mom doesn't think it's serious enough to bring me to the doctors, so now all I can do is try and find ways to prevent this from happening. @sun seeker , you said you had some ideas?

This sounds like some depersonalization and dissociation

Summary: I had a tough day today, and when I came home, I started to disassociate/depersonalize. I did a lot of self harming, with razors and hitting my head for about three hours. Now I have a horrible headache, super nauseous, have ringing in my ears and am pretty sure I have a concussion. I...

After going through a lot of trauma and being hospitalized, I was told I should see a therapist. So I did. I would see him every Thursday at school, and it was okay. My therapist is a pretty cool guy, he listens to rock music like I do, he brings things for me to color (because when I'm anxious...

There is no such thing asservice dog certification. Sometimes you can go through a program that trains service dogs and they will give you 'certification', but it is useless to you. Businesses can not ask for certification of any sort, nor can law. The difference between a Emotional Support...

Eh, not so cool. You know the way your muscles flex when you frown? It like that ×3000. Definitely not sexy. And makes my muscles really sore. But will try to smoothing out thing, though. Maybe you can explain more of the OCD stuff, though? I'm a tad but confused as to why it would be called that

Thank you all very much! Now I just got to find a good way to bring this up to my doctor

I want to get a service dog for my PTSD and anxiety, but I'm not so sure what the process is of getting one. Would you mind explaining?

A couple months after it came out that I was raped, I have (at random times) felt the need to tense and relax certain muscles over and over again (usually my face, thighs or upper arms). Usually this lasts for twenty minutes or so, and then I can comfortably stop, but now this has lasted for...

My memories are like snapshots, from both 1st and 3rd person views. No sounds or sensations. Just pictures. Usually it's just random images that are 'out of order' per se. Recent memories are like a film.

I mostly hide under my blanket (sounds funny, but it's basically the same thing as breathing into a bag, and blankets are really comforting), and try to take a nap. Or draw, listen to music, try to distract myself. Obviously you can't bring a blanket where ever you go, but this is the only...

Thank you guys! I'll definitely be doing some more research. But anyone who has anything else to add would be appreciated.

Okay, so every once in awhile, I randomly (or maybe I get triggered?) start to feel like: - I'm not myself. Like I know who my name is, but I feel like an actor playing their role, or a robot. - I can't/don't speak and avoid mirrors. It really bothers me when I hear my voice or see myself...
