PTSD From Bullying

[tardis]

Yes Trial, Dr. Who is an obsession of mine. I currently own almost all of the available episodes which were not lost by the BBC. I am obsessed with finding those lost episodes! I have to control myself to not speak about Dr. Who too often as most seem to find it dull. Only my girlfriend understands because she has a similar obsession with Star Trek. Deaf I am thankful that you are kind to your acquaintance with AS. We do need friends and people to advocate for us. Have you ever taken the Baron-Cohen tests? They are available online. Not the same as a diagnosis however they are interesting and seem quite accurate. Nicolette thank you for the welcome. I suppose I was outed by my girlfriend. :)

I had to think for a moment Tardis but worked it out pretty quickly when she told me you had joined and commented on a particular post :wink:

Thank you again for the welcomes. I am starting to feel more comfortable here, slowly. I had fear initially. I will try to post more.

Hey tardis.

I'm kind of new here as well. My PTSD comes partly from severe bullying, and though I can't say I know exactly how it was for you, I do understand what it can be like, and how it can affect someone. I'm also of similar age as you.

I think you've found a good group and place to join in this forum - I hope you find answers, support and friendship. One thing is for sure, you don't have to be talkative if you don't want to be - there is so much information to sift through to keep busy for hours (at least, I know it has kept me busy for hours!)

See you around.

Never did say officially welcome Tardis :)

I understand the school bullying although not to your extent.

A belated ..Welcome to the forum tardis!

Hello tardis, I too was bullied throughout life, starting with my childhood. It had a big impact upon my self-esteem and confidence. I don't know what more to say, because it was awful then, and I just internalized much, and accepted and believed what others did and said to me as true.

I falsely concluded that everything about me was wrong and that they were all-right about themselves, their actions and me because somehow I figured that they were uniquely entitled. Likely then, I got all sorts of things confused in my beliefs because of at home I too was being bullied and fearful a great deal while under continuing intimidation.

Omg, your sharing made me realize how much I once falsely believed I must've deserved all that, and that there must be something terribly wrong with me. There is a lot of feelings of shame and embarrassment and hurt pride attached to all that bullying. I never stopped to think about it.

tardis, Welcome and please always choose here just what's right for you and decide what if anything is not, and all in your time. Glad you found us and pretty sure you will find great support and friends.

Take Care.
Hope

Thank you once more for the welcomes. It is reassuring to read others have experienced bullying and understand where I am coming from.

I recognize this. Now i'm 19 years old, i dont have any certificates or job, and i suffer from cptsd. Day in day out i'm preoccupied of this person who bullied me, and when i think about it i feel a lot of anger and a desire for revenge. Now i live 24/7 in my home, i dont come outside, and i dont want to talk with people and psychiatrists anymore.

I'm not happy with this life, i want to change this and enjoy my life. But how can i threat this? I cant forgot this, and everyday i think about it, i feel very angry.

Hey mate, really relate to what you are saying, I felt like this myself for about 3 years straight. Hid at home runimating about shit, plotting my revenge. So full of hate for the bullies, still am now, though my life has now improved for the better. I don't know how to advise you about it, I reckon at some point I was just ready for help and its gotten somewhat easier since then. Still incredibly tough though.

I'm a bit late, but welcome to the forum! :) I feel for you in the bullying, its horrible as a to know you have to go to school, where the mean folk are waiting for you.

Also, Dr. Who is a favourite of mine too, I was excited to see your forum name :)
