Undiagnosed Somewhere between the life i lost and part of me that's still brathin......

Riven

New Here
hey guys honestly I dont even know if this is the right place for me since this is my first time here

Ive spent basically a whole day tryin to put all this together and figure out how the hell Im even supposed to explain myself

I get really mixed up with the order of things and when I write too much I start forgettin parts of what happened so Ive been writin little pieces and savin them until I finally got a version that feels like the closest thing to how I actually am

Im not really good at explainin myself and Ive never really liked askin anyone for help either

when I was younger I had a really bad experience with a psychiatrist

he gave me an injection that made me lose my memory for a really long time

ever since that happened Ive had a really bad fear of doctors and I pretty much stopped trustin them (( IM SORRY DR'S ))

Ive never seen a therapist or psychiatrist since then

Ive been dealin with a lot of different problems for a really long time and lately everything has gotten way worse

I dont even know how many things are wrong with me anymore

I just know somethin inside me has been fallin apart for a long time

I spent most of my life runnin from reality cuz reality was f*ckin painful and I got used to keepin everything inside and pretendin I was okay even when I wasnt

Im a foreigner livin in a country thats not my own and Ive been under international protection for more than 10 years

and honestly after all these years I feel like Im already dead

I wake up I close my eyes and thats basically my whole life now

I deal with serious trauma symptoms nightmares intrusive thoughts anxiety isolation panic mood swings and a lotta other shit that keeps gettin harder to deal with


when Im under pressure my speech gets f*cked up too

I stutter I lose my words sometimes I just stop and dont know what the hell I was tryna say

I also struggle with alcohol n nicotine dependence and lately that shit has been gettin harder n harder to control

Ive had suicidal thoughts and Ive tried to end my life before

I barely leave the house anymore....!

most of the time Im in my room stuck inside my own head !

and lately even breathin has started feelin heavy!

when I try to focus my head starts hurtin and I start thinkin about shit that honestly shouldnt even matter to me.

my main work basically got shut down and I lost my main job during covid too!

that was just more shit on top of everything else

Im not tryna diagnose myself or throw some fancy name on all of this

I honestly dont know what label fits me

I just know Im not okay and I know this has gotten way too serious for me to keep pretendin I can handle it alone

and honestly I dont even feel like I fully have myself anymore

its like my body is here but mentally Ive lost so much of who I used to be

I can sit there for hours and feel like Im not even really inside myself!!

sometimes I just stare at the wall or at my screen and dont know what the f*ck Im doin anymore

Im not sayin all this cuz I want money or pity

I dont want anyone feelin sorry for me

I just want u guys to understand that theres a real person behind these words and Im seriously f*ckin tired

everything Im tellin u is real

I have official papers documents photos videos witnesses and other proof for the things Ive been through

I know some of this shit sounds crazy or way too heavy

I know that

thats why Im tellin u I can back up what Im sayin

Im not expectin anybody to blindly believe me

I just dont wanna be treated like Im makin this shit up

I searched all over the internet for a long time until I finally found this community because someone mentioned it somewhere else

and ChatGPT was also the one that told me I should try findin a place where I could actually talk to people instead of stayin completely alone

thats how I ended up here

and honestly somethin changed a little when I found this place

for the first time in a long time I feel like I can breathe a little

I kinda feel like Ive got wings again even tho I dont really know where the hell Im goin

I just feel somethin in me comin back slowly

maybe its because I found people here who feel a little like family to me already

I know that sounds weird since Im new here but thats honestly how it feels

cuz nobody really knows what another person is carryin unless theyve been through somethin similar

so I really just wanna be around people who are calm and talk quietly and dont laugh at somebody when theyre already down

I hate when people use f*cked up words against others or disrespect somebody just because theyre different

I dont care what religion somebody follows or what group they belong to or where they come from

I dont wanna get dragged into politics or religious fights

were all human at the end of the day

and honestly I dont even separate animals people n plants like theyre completely different from each other

I feel like theres somethin alive in all of em

so I just wish people would stop destroyin each other for once

and yeah Im sorry if I write way too much or jump from one thing to another

my thoughts dont come out in a straight line anymore

one thing reminds me of another and suddenly Im talkin about somethin completely different

maybe thats cuz Ive spent way too many years alone with my own thoughts

when I write things here they feel huge to me

every word feels like Im pullin somethin heavy out of my chest

sometimes I take a really deep breath and for a second it feels like all that weight is finally leavin me

then a minute later it all closes back up again

I dont really know how else to explain it

Im just tryin to talk
Im not askin anybody to fix me

I just wanna have somewhere I can finally say what Im feelin without havin to hide every broken part of myself

so yeah thats a little about me before I get into the main story

Im gonna keep some of the stuff here and put the rest in my main post for anyone who actually wants to keep readin

just tryna keep the sections organized n clean ! thank you for reading my homie.
