Sufferer Joining because I need a sense of community - CPTSD, BPD & MDD

[dualitiesofhealing]

Hi, I’m Patrick (or just Trick is fine). I’m non-binary, and prefer it/its, he/him, or they/them pronouns.

I have (c)PTSD from a lot of different traumas (over a decade of emotional abuse, religious/spiritual related trauma, multiple sexual harassments/assaults, and a parent’s death), as well as Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) on the mental health side.

I also have ADHD, hypothyroidism, fibromyalgia, and idiopathic daytime hypersomnia on the list of diagnoses.

I wanted to join here because I recently just had what I guess was another trauma(?) where a man threatened to physically hurt my dogs (including my service dog in training), and I honestly feel really scared and alone and I’m really desperate for a community where someone might understand the fear and pain I’m going through.

I think that was kind of long, sorry. Really grateful to be here though.

Welcome Trick @dualitiesofhealing - there are several good threads about Service dogs and a number of members who are trainer's or handlers - so you should find yourself in some good company. :)

I think you have a lot of pain inside you and I think this might be a good place for you.

Welcome to the boards @dualitiesofhealing. Might I ask you what you mean by “I am non-binary and prefer it/it’s, he/him or they/them pronouns“. Does it mean you want me to call you it or he or they? And which do you prefer most?

I don't know how many times I refer to member's gender here. Very rarely I think bc it doesn't matter and is not relevant as far as I know. For me personally it matter's little anyway. :)

You will be accepted here. We are a great bunch of diverse human beings.

I'm so sorry for all that's happened to you Trick.
In my joining here I have found much kindness and help too. I think you will find a good place here too.
