2 cptsd people

[willus]

The world doesn't understand us for the most part. I've never found anyone that actually gets me. Most girls love bomb me, make me fall for them, and start the inevitable string of lies. Hyper-vigilance is only a curse if your around the wrong people. The problem is who are the right people? Has anyone just got together that have cptsd? I'm tired of being isolated. Can't trust anyone. Maybe finding a girl with the same condition would be the best thing? Or the worst thing?

Have you had therapy?

Maybe looking at your patterns of why you go for the same type of person? And learning how to notice red and green flags when developing relationships?

It is possible to find good people and have healthy relationships. But it means changing something and recognising things within yourself.

Hello @willus welcome to the site. Do you honestly feel that your healthy enough to be in a serious/romantic relationship? Why don't you just try to make friends with people?

I’ve been thinking about this a lot. I’ve had ptsd for a long time and I think Cptsd because now after more trauma I’ve experienced they interlock w each other and tear me down together at once. Not sure if that’s Cptsd

But my boyfriend and I both def have ptsd and before we got together I went in a couple dates with others and a lot of online dating searches.

I personally found, non ptsd or less complicated - people were fine to get a long with but those with a history of severe trauma understood me easier which helped me relax more and I feel more loved when I can relax.

However! My ex who was cheating on me also had ptsd but … lacked the commitment and devotion.

So really what makes a relationship work are the people.

I’m glad you realized people were love bombing you. I’ve had that a lot!

It’s exhausting.

I hope you find someone that’s good to you
