If You Could Take Away Some Of The Ptsd What Would It Be ?

[Ladyghosthunter]

I wish I was born to another family that showed love, compassion, joy, and encouragement. My family is the reason for my PTSD and that I made better decisions when it came to men.

That is what I wish I could take away. None of this would've started without them....

I agree with Ladyghosthunter.........if I had been born without a psychopath and a narcissist as parents, I doubt that I would be experiencing PTSD. It was their cruelty, manipulation, abuse, and lack of warmth, nurture, and love which brought about my need to learn dissociation as my main coping tool.......as well as my developing the symptoms of PTSD.

So, I'd have to say that I just wish I could have been born into a family who loved me and liked me.

Ladyghosthunter,

I think there is a huge percentage of people on here that family have either caused their PTSD or made it 100 times worse. I for one am in the same boat as you my mum has made mine so much worse, if only they could be there for us I think it would half PTSD straight away.
Take care Ladyghosthunter.

If I could take away some of the PTSD the bit I would take away is the bit that is in my head.

That's a very large bit to most I think Lucycat. I would to gee wouldn't it be great just to be able to remove chunks of your brain that you don't like and just carry on. Wow I like the thought of that.

I actually laughed out loud when I read this. So true.

I'd say I'd take away the crippling self hatred that is responsible for me (1) not having any friends (2) being unable to look other people in the eye (3) going five to ten days at a time without looking at my face in the mirror because I don't want to see what a disgusting, should-have-been-aborted, nasty, waste of space I am (4) feeling like I'm going to be stoned from all directions when I'm out in public (5) being so afraid of censure and disapproval, I drift in and out of conversations with coworkers and need to ask them to repeat themselves an embarrassing number of times (6) not knowing how I'm going to live another day unless I can somehow magically take over someone else's body.
