Help With Dr./ Patient Relationship

[Samantha_38]

As you have already taken the plunge here, so to speak, I would suggest you start a "trauma diary" on here. Writing is obviously a natural means of communication for you.

I actually started one last night. Writing is definitely "my" form of communication. I'm way better at it than speaking. When I talk I get all balled up and can't get the words out that I want to say. When I type, if I can't think of it, I have time to think. Nobody knows it took me 20 minutes to figure out what I wanted to say when they read it.

What you are struggling with in the present is the most important thing. .

Wouldn't you know where I started with in my diary was on the past. It seemed to help anyways.

Many of us have boundary issues. Just wanted to let you know that it's not an isolated thing in those who have PTSD, especially when the trauma was in childhood when we were supposed to be learning about healthy boundaries. I know there are a number of threads on boundaries if you care to read more.

Oh, you're not alone with the speech thing!

I'm glad you have found something that helps. If you don't mind, I'll go over to the diaries forum and have a read of yours.

I don't mind at all. Its really hard, but definitely helping.

Since this is the post where most of you have reached out to me through...If you have seen the "latest" news report...I have been blamed for stealing my story because I posted it under a fake name, on a different website a year ago. I have cleared this up with the admins and have officially been unbanned. I have now written all over it that I am also from this website. HUGE Trigger warning, so don't read past the part that says Its Samantha from my ptsd if this will trigger you.

I just don't want anyone who helped me here to think I abused their help and used them, or whatever it is you're feeling. This is truly "my" life and "my" story. I have been helped more than any of you can understand by the things you have told me here, and THANK YOU so much.
