I Realize That I

[parrotthepolly]

I will never come close to knowing what being alive feels like.

 

[Tanishq]

I realize that I need to be around truly good people.

 

[Teasel]

I realise that I can get really bloody irritated with people that get the wrong end of the stick.

Not very friendly is it.

Not that I have to be friendly all the time.

Prolly worth me looking at this though.

 

[MrMoonlight]

I realize that I need to confront the situation every time I'm treated poorly.

 

[parrotthepolly]

I'm seriously not okay haha ...

 

[Tanishq]

I realize that I don't need to worry about useless things.

 

[notsurewheretoturn]

I realise that I seriously need to move house. Screaming kids and drunk neighbours knocking my door at 2am (wanting to borrow a phone charger!) really isn't doing my ptsd any favours at all!

 

[Susan Jane]

I realize that I am learning to trust my friends for real, people who I have known for over 25 years. I realize they stayed because they like me and I am not a burden. When I go into a bad episode I feel ashamed and afraid people won’t stay. This episode I spoke the truth asked for help and didn’t pretend. It felt so much better and those in my life that couldn’t be there are not bad people, they have no way to understand my episodes and I accepted that.

 

[Rose White]

I realize that cPTSD is a little bitch and will always come back around no matter how much I grow and recover. And I realize that I will never be fully integrated and that is a painful lie perpetuated by capitalist fantasy. I wonder if I’m becoming a nihilist—in the best sense hopefully. Ha! There is still hope though!

 

[Tanishq]

I realize that I am improving.

 

[Tanishq]

I realize that feeling gratitude shifts things towards something wonderful. Sometimes it feels so mysterious.

 

[Tanishq]

I realize that I need to be careful as lot of toxic people are targeting me.
