Sufferer A Very Diffrent Life

Hi I'm 20 and I don't have the life of a normal 20 year old. No college, no uni and no job. I don't even leave the house even to go to the dentist or getting my eyes checked out.

I feel like I am locked up a tower but its me that is the lock. I do EDMR and have had normal therapy and also CBT. Thinking about hypnotherapy, but that means meeting another new person.

I avoid people every day and I struggle with my once monthly visit to the doctor to get my sick note. That's with an early morning appointment and not going in untill someone signals me from the car.

Still my illness doesn't count as being real, I don't have a broken leg or have to be pushed round in a wheelchair, however I am still recovering and in a sense immobile. Looking for a PTSD dog but again as I don't have anything 'Physical ' this isn't available in England so I am thinking of training one myself.

hoping I can meet other people in a simular place on here, someone that understands what I go through every day and can give me advice.

Thanks
 
Welcome to the forum. :hug:

We all know your illness is real. And I think many of us know what it's like to feel that people don't take us seriously because our disorder isn't physical and can't be seen (in the same sense).
