Confident
Hi everyone! I really don’t know where to start. This is my first time trying a support group however, I’ve been in and out of therapy most of my whole life. I have ADHD, dyslexia and PTSD. I finally decided to go back to therapy specifically to address my abuse from my ex partner and how PTSD affects my every day life.
My ex is a viloent alcoholic, drug user, and addicted to gambling as well as a narcissist. They really know how to love bomb. He was very mentally and emotionally abusive towards me and towards the end of our relationship it was getting physical. How I left is something I wish I could be more proud of but that’s a story for another day.
I go to a therapist now that specializes in PTSD and how to cope, it’s been hard having to talk about it. I typically avoid talking about any of it, I hate even saying his name.
I am an agoraphobic, I wasn’t always. I do work from home so during the day I really don’t have control over it but I’ve pretty much isolated myself except from my family which is my mom and my dad. I still talk to a few friends but that’s only through phone or text.
I came here looking for understanding or something I’m not quite sure yet what that is. I don’t know, it’s like you can talk to someone and tell them what you’ve been through but I think it’s different when the person’s been through it too so here I am.
