I also share those feelings about myself and social stuff has always been difficult. I am forcing myself to be more social currently which is very unnatural for me.

The 12 week timescale is for a single trauma. Like 1 rape, or 1 car accident.
EMDR is INCREDIBLY effective. Expect a helluva lot longer than 12 weeks if you’re looking at YEARS of trauma, rather than a few minutes of trauma.
Hi all,
I'm new here, Apologies if this has been discussed before. I'm reading on my mobile, so difficult to see all entries.
I was diagnosed with C-PTSD in 2017 and I'm now 48. My trauma is from childhood neglect and both sexual and physical abuse.
I'm wondering if anyone else has issues with thinking everyone hates them? I find it very difficult to read people and always feel unwelcome and unworthy. I don't like social situations and always ready to leave. I make sure I look at ways to get out and always on edge. I find social events overwhelming and very stressful. I'm hyper vigilant and I disassociate.
I'm also unable to take any criticism at all. I take it very personally.
I have a desperate need to be liked and fit in. During my school years, I kept myself to myself. I didn't make friends easily and dealt with bullying daily. So I never really fitted in anywhere, I was never comfortable at home or school. I still feel like this now as a mum with daughters and a loving husband. I never feel like I belong - even with them.
I'm really not sure if this is common or if it's just me.
Thank you for reading, its my first time reaching out.
Think you’ve missed the issue.well, are you awful? do you not think you have faults?
maybe re evaluate how you have been treating these people who avoid you.
Yes, I doWelcome to the community:)
What you’re describing sounds very familiar - I couldn’t do people at all for a long time. And I’m still liable to fall apart when I get criticised. Not nice things to be working through.
Do you have a therapist helping with this?
EMDR is one of the gold standard treatments for PTSD.I was wondering if EDMTR worked
It worked pretty good for me so far. My therapist has left the office indefinitely so I can’t ask her what certain she holds. She did the tapping technique on the inside and outside of my knees. Afterward I felt like I was on a cloud. I ended up laying on her couch almost asleep.EMDR is one of the gold standard treatments for PTSD.
There are 2-4 levels, however. IE There are 2 modern levels, and 2 outdated levels some practitioners have never bothered to recertify in but still used the outmoded techniques. So it is VERY worth finding out what certs your practioner holds. The old, or the new; the general, or the specialized/advanced.
Your not alone Nikki JJ. There are many people that share the same feelings as you including myself. Do you feel "hate" or is it "mistrust"? Do you find comfort in pets like a lot of us?Hi all,
