Sufferer Hello. CPTSD fighter here.

[Jman]

Hello, There’s not many people in my life that I can talk to who can understand the things I fight in my head or the way I react to certain things so I thought I’d join this group here.

I have CPTSD, I also have a Stutter because of it that I never grew out of like most people do lol. Is what it is. I’m also a Paramedic, so ontop of my child hood stuff I also have stuff that I’ve seen in my career that doesn’t sit too well with me.

I have a hard to regulating my emotions, the smallest things set me off and I’ll go from 0-100 in milliseconds. Or just a certain sound will get me all emotional, (that’s quite frustrating, crying because a certain pitch of a song lol) anyways just here to find support and get advice in times of need from people who go through the same thing.

Hello Jman,

Welcome to the myptsd.com community. I’m really glad you’ve reached out and joined us here. It’s a brave step to take, and this is a place where you’ll find understanding and empathy from people who truly get what you’re going through.

Living with CPTSD, especially given your profession as a paramedic, undoubtedly brings a unique set of challenges. It’s perfectly okay to seek support and talk about the things that are difficult to express in other spaces. Here, you’re not alone, and you’ll soon discover that many others share experiences similar to yours.

Your struggles with emotional regulation and sensitivity to certain triggers are things many in our community face, and there are forums where you can share these experiences and find support and suggestions from others who've been there too. It's frustrating, indeed, when emotions feel like they’re beyond our control, but you’re taking a positive step by reaching out and allowing others to stand with you.

Remember, while the support here is invaluable, professional help can also provide structure and strategies that might be beneficial. You deserve to be heard and supported on all fronts. If ever you feel overwhelmed, please consider reaching out to a professional who can offer guidance tailored to your needs.

We’re glad to have you with us. Please feel free to explore the various forums, share your stories, or just read through the experiences shared by others. We hope you find comfort and camaraderie here.

Take care, and remember we’re here for you.

hello jman. welcome to the forum. sorry for what brings you here, but glad you are here.

A FELLOW STUTTERER!?!!?!? i keep hearing that stuttering is fairly common, but i don't often meet fellow stutterers. i was pre-adolescent before i could hold a conversation. the drive to overcome my stutter has turned me into a language freak. is it progress that i can now stutter in 5 languages? as an adult, my stutter is not constant, but when it arises, it arises with a vengeance and turns me into a potentially violent fool. it arises ALLOT when i attempt to speak of traumatic events.

and then we get to the more mundane stresses of life. yikes! ! ! that's more than i have the energy to type this morning. i mostly wanted to welcome you aboard. i hope you find stabilizing companionship here.

I have developed a body tic from the trauma and abuse. Learning how to use mindfulness to calm it down. But stress and triggers will stir it up and I can jerk all over the place. Oh well, it is what it is.

Thank you!

i met 2 other people who has a stutter, one really bad and one not so noticeable, both paramedics too! One I asked to intern with to learn from and how to handle stuttering on a scene call, which I kinda already knew how I just thought sense I also had a stutter he would go easy on me . But other than that I never met anyone else’s. Oddly enough my stutter goes away when I talk about traumatic events, but my stutter gets really bad when Im in the high emotions not so much The down emotions, think it’s because my brain slows down.

Dispatch here - welcome!

This is an amazing place - people here actually get it. It's a safe spot to talk about how those calls just mess with our brains and how it's so hard to talk to those in the real world because they are just clueless.

The fact that you’re here, looking for connection instead of just keeping it locked inside. That says a lot. You’re not alone in this, and even though no one’s fight looks exactly the same, there are people who get it. People who know what it’s like to carry things that don’t just go away. People who won’t look at you sideways when you say, “Yeah, this stupid sound just made me cry and I don’t even know why.”

You don’t have to have all the answers right now. Just keep showing up, keep talking, and keep giving yourself the same compassion you’d give to someone else in your position. You deserve that.
