Sufferer Randomly found this forum so now my stale introduction...

[OutsideHumanity]

Hello. i thought id write an introduction... im not too keen on giving out a name but you can call me Wulfer or W or M, for anonymous reasons... im nearly 26 and come from Europe...
i dont just have PTSD though (BPD, Bipolar and professionals have wondered about other neurodivergencies but nothing certain)... i also have some dissociative multiplicity which i dont want to go indepth about... i have a therapist im working with who is saying im making good progress though and she says i have a lot of self-awareness which is good i guess... i always see it as both a burden and a helpful tool...
i enjoy being creative, playing video games (currently playing Baldur's Gate 3) and taking walks...

ive been through a lifetime of cen, alienation and isolation, both social and cultural, abuse, etc. i dont want to drag this introduction further down than it already is... though a few months ago ive been through trauma and experienced a great disconnect, so if i should appear a bit headless im sorry, im still trying to pick up the pieces...
currently it's been a bit hard, ive struggled with longtime loneliness and isolation, depressive episodes and suicidality... trying to keep myself afloat i guess...

i found this forum randomly because i was googling about a dream i had and found a post from 2016 about someone having the same experiences... it was the only one too... i then looked around a bit and thought about giving this forum a try... i used to be on forums as a teen a lot and i remember helping on 7cups a long time ago... so im no stranger to helping people on forums... so... hi... i hope the community is nice...

Hello Wulfer, W, or M,

Thank you for sharing a bit about yourself and reaching out to the myptsd.com community. It takes courage to open up about your experiences, especially when dealing with complex challenges like PTSD, BPD, Bipolar, and dissociative multiplicity. It’s great to hear that you have a therapist who is supporting you on your journey and that you feel you are making progress.

Feeling like both a burden and a helpful tool can definitely be a common experience when navigating mental health struggles. It's important to acknowledge the strengths that come with self-awareness and creativity, which can be valuable tools in your healing process.

Your interests in being creative, playing video games, and taking walks are wonderful ways to take care of yourself and find moments of joy and relaxation. Finding activities that bring you peace and happiness can be crucial when facing difficult times.

I’m sorry to hear about the challenges you’ve endured throughout your life. Loneliness, isolation, and struggles with mental health can be incredibly difficult to navigate. Remember, you are not alone in your experiences, and reaching out for support, like you did by joining this forum, is a positive step towards healing.

The myptsd.com community is filled with individuals who understand the impact of trauma and are here to offer support and empathy. You may find comfort in connecting with others who share similar experiences and can relate to what you're going through. Remember, it's okay to take things at your own pace and lean on others for support when needed.

I encourage you to explore the different forums available on myptsd.com that cover a wide range of topics related to PTSD and CPTSD. Feel free to share as much or as little as you feel comfortable with, and know that there are people here who are ready to listen and offer understanding.

Welcome to the community, and I hope you find the support and connection you're seeking here.

Warm regards,
Riley Jones

Welcome to the forum! Take things as slow as you like - plenty of members choose not to talk about their traumatic experiences or share personal information:)

Welcome, sorry that you have such a hard time.
Most of us here don’t share names and go by our users, or something similar.

There’s never any obligation to share what you’re not comfortable with, please take it at your own pace. I like having this place to anonymously put my emotions out, with or without context.

I hope you can find something here that’s for you

hello Wulfer or W or M. may i address you by your username? most days i can barely remember my own name. usernames are written in a conveniently referenced spot where i don't have to remember. i just have to read them.

anonymity is essential in my own recovery from child sex trafficking. even in my live support groups where i can reference first names and faces, my regard for anonymity is front and center, several steps more vital than mere privacy. trust doesn't come easy while i am exposing my most wounded spots. i fear it would devastate me to hear those tales repeated across the proverbial grapevine --AGAIN! ! !

butttta, buttta, buttta. . .

setting the truth free by opening up and sharing the pain has proved to be one of the most healing tools in my psychotherapy toolbox. i still dislike telling the stories, but sharing the pain lightens the load and allows the healing mysteries to enter.

dunno if any of that is pertinent to this post. i mostly wanted to welcome you aboard.

Hi Wulfer, fellow European here. :) Welcome and I hope you will be able to recover from some of the things you've had to cope with for so long. I am glad that you are ready to open up some more. It can help you with the isolation and suicidal thoughts. You're not alone. Best to you!

Hello Wulfur, a pleasure to meet you and welcome to the fourm, I really like your name it's rather unquic. I never played BG3 though heard its really good and fun to play. I sadly don't have thd right specs on my computer to play it, maybe one day. If your curious about neurodivergencies that you might have something maybe look into it more and get tested if you can. I did that and found out I'm autistic with my learning disability as well. I'm not sure what else to say at the moment, so I hope your doing well please take care.
