Sufferer I am tired of being a bad person and I'm dedicated to becoming happy and healthy.

[MintKitty]

I just can't handle anything anymore, literally throwing temper tantrums and crying hysterically every day. I can't keep a partner, friend or job because I have a victim mindset and deep rooted shame that stems from my childhood trauma. I have lost so many opportunities and friends because I haven't dealt with the trauma. I can't keep living like this. I exhaust myself. I don't have emotional support and have been white knuckling my feelings since childhood. I am just now admitting at 25 that I can't fix myself on my own. My life has been unstable for years now, so I've been in and out of therapy for years. Hoping to start with a new therapist soon. I'm not good at working with other people yet but I can't let myself continue life this way. I am committed to working on my issues because I want to be a good person. I want to love and trust people and feel safe again and I want to make other people feel loved and safe too. That's why I joined this forum and I'm looking forward to learning and connecting to others here.

Yea I've always thought focusing on improving other parts of my life would improve my mental health, but I realize that I need to make it a priority. I'm glad there are so many options for learning how to live outside of the PTSD.
