Greetings,

I find myself here for support. My friends are tired of hearing about the crazy that is my life. I have friends with this horrible condition and get solace with/from them. Mostly confirmation that the messed up experiences I'm going through aren't only with me.

A little back story (not sure how much to share). From age 14-24 dealt with mistreatment by physicians. 2012 the UN determined that the "treatments" are torture.

I can go for quite a while without that history stirring up a dissociative session/time. The problem is that those experiences 'primed the pump' for not so healthy responses to abuse/mistreatment by people at work.

Since April I've had several fully triggered events due to stress and bullying at work. My work situation is complicated. Suffice to say I didn't ask for any of the BS I've been subjected to.

I have many mornings chocked full of flashbacks and 'terror?' This leaves me on the brink before even going to work. I'm in such a delicate emotional state that I can be triggered in an instant. My memory is affected. I filed a workers compensation claim due to the constant abuse/bullying. Unfortunately that process added a gob of stress. The therapist I was seeing doesn't like WC and referred me out while I'm dealing with it.

Basically I can't remember much. Names are gone. Processes are mostly gone. When I'm completely triggered I only know how to reach out and I basically disappear/go to ground. I've got the local mental hospital programmed in my phone. I'm having a hard time seeing the worth of continuing. I'm not specifically suicidal, but it crosses my mind often. I know that things will improve. It's just hard to see it from down in this hole.

Thanks for reading.

I'm so sorry for all that you had to endure and are enduring. I tend shut down and shut people out before there is any chance of rejection. To be bullied in the workplace on top of it all is just so awful and I can't imagine the anxiety state that must put you in. I'm glad you are reaching out here. There are so many people who can not only relate but who can offer sound and comforting advice too. I hope things turn around for you soon G. Hugs if you accept.
 
Hi, @galens47 - and welcome.
From age 14-24 dealt with mistreatment by physicians.
I'm really sorry to hear that. I'd guess it makes it harder to seek medical treatment, now. Have you been diagnosed with PTSD formally? I don't know what your insurance situation is, but sometimes having the diagnosis can help open up some options in terms of therapy.
