New Here
Hi, I’ve just joined today because I’m really struggling.
I’m a young adult who lives with complex medical needs, severe chronic pain and mobility issues. This year has been incredibly difficult as I developed a severe infection that caused delirium, I didn’t know who or where I was for nearly two weeks. I was sectioned as it was suspected I had psychosis which wasn’t the case once doctors found the severe infection that stopped my bladder infection working.
To this day I am reliving the horrific/terrifying hallucinations in flashback form. I’m very jumpy and I get irritated/upset easily, I’ve spoken to a doctor who’s referred me to a specialist for potential PTSD. Struggling today as my relationship with my parents is really rocky since I’ve become more irritable/easy upset. Often results in being shouted at which makes me shut down and not talk having been triggered. I had carers who treated me horribly and I can hear them putting me down like they did when my parents shout at me which makes everything feel a lot worse.
I just want to know I’m not alone in this.
