    The physical side effects of ptsd…

    I think my lower back pain obviously was caused by an accident I had while working but it flares up every once in a while and I’v had a cyst removed with my tube and ovary. It did traumatize me. Now I’m going to get fertility testing and guess what’s back? The lower back pain. Muscle pain...

    Am I being overdramatic or is my best friend really just … shitty?

    Am I being overdramatic or is my best friend really just … shitty?

    My grandpa is on his last leg and I’m pretty sure he is not gonna be able to survive. He’s 93 years old. I’ve told my best friend I don’t like him (i don’t like him but he’s my grandpa and I still respect him as my grandpa) so maybe she thinks since I didn’t like him much that it’s not a big...

    Grandpa is in the ICU and it feels like I’m being traumatized (dads death)!! I need to sleep!

    My dad died suddenly at age 56 from a heart attack: he went into the icu and died five days later. I was 14 and only saw him twice in the icu. I was so traumatized from that while experience. I’m 28 now and my grandpa is now in the icu for something very similar. And he’s not expected to make...

    Depressed over the fact that I’m not where I wanna be in life - 28 years old

    That’s also another thing I have to figure out. I love kids and I love babies to death. But I also love my freedom and being able to do what I please with what money I make and what I do. My close friend just had a baby and she loves being a mom but she told me she has no me time and is always...

    Depressed over the fact that I’m not where I wanna be in life - 28 years old

    This is really depressing me . To the point where I have asked myself is everything worth it. In this f*cking society we are tasked with having a status , a good job and good education and good money. You’re successful if you have this plus a family. A wife husband and kids. I feel like in...

    Triggered so much today from work!!!!

    I can ask my boss on Monday but I’m not sure they can put it down in writing, I’m not even sure how to ask her what exactly is going on with the company. I asked my team leads a couple weeks ago and they said they haven’t heard anything and they’re basically in the dark. My company isn’t making...

    Mommy and daddy issues!!

    I just never thought I’d be actually realizing this lol. I kinda didn’t wanna realize it about my mom since I still live at home and cannot afford to move out. She’s helped me a lot and has obviously raised me and tried her best as a parent. I just think sometimes she is way too over protective...

    Other Rock music is a trigger for me now???

    I dont really understand this. Maybe because it’s me getting older and my tastes are changing but I’ve noticed that rock music really triggers me. I get very depressed if I listen to rock music especially if it’s hard metal/ death metal. If the lyrics are not so happy which most rock I feel...
