Hi, Hoping To Overcome Issues Of Aggression And People

[Meadowsweet]

Hi, I was diagnosed with ptsd not long ago and am on a waiting list for therapy...but Ive found reading about ptsd has given some understanding of whats been going on with me for years, and im determined to get better.

The aggression Ive experienced has come from people Ive trusted and alongside the obvious fears of violence, being trapped, unable to speak and feeling forced mentally or physically...I have trust issues that verge on paranoia when Im very anxious, and thats effected my friendships to the extent that I avoid getting close to people.

Welcome to the forum Meadowsweet. This is a great place that gives you a chance to learn more about what you have and what you're dealing with. There is a great peer support system here. Take time to read some posts / threads and when you'll feel ready, you can write a bit more about yourself and your experience.

Hi Meadowsweet,

Trust issues are about as central to PTSD as you can get. You basically get PTSD when someone fails in the most basic of truest, It doesn't have to be the person that causes the trauma. Many people suffer severe traumas and do not get PTSD. This is because their trusted support system is responsible to the trust expected of them.

We are glad you are here!

Welcome to the Forum Meadowsweet,

I'm glad that you feel comfortable enough to have written what you wrote. I have found that the trust gets broken usually from boundary violations, for me anyway. Since coming here I've been able to pull a lot more information together and get the support to help me along the way, I hope you are able to experience the same.

Take your time and be kind to yourself,
Peace,
Rain
