What Did You Lose In Your Life Because Of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder?

[Deleted member 6646]

I really want people to share with me. I know people who have post traumatic stress disorder have lost many things in life. Can you share with me what you lose in your life because of post traumatic stress disorder?

I suffter CPTSD. I lost love for my parents! One of the worst days of my life was when I realized I did not love my father but that I hated him. NIKI

I lost a big chunk of innocence.

I lost my dignity. But I am going to get it back.

I lost my trust of myself and others, my sense of self worth, my right to myself and feeling safe. I am getting it back though, little by little.

it's a tough question, since I'm not sure why you're asking it? I'd hate to run down a list, and maybe make you feel worse about something. I'll tell you I've lost friends, since you asked, but will add that my T has been able to point out the exact issue behind this ( avoidance ) and I can deal with that now. James is reclaiming his dignity, which was stolen from him, as everyone really is yes, mourning the losses but finding things of value in healing.

I don't mean to 'preach', especially if you're not feeling all that well at the moment. It's just rather a 'loaded' question, and one which could encourage you to feel even worse, you know? Certainly there's loss associated with this intrusive, destructive thing. A loss by virtue creates a void, which also by virtue becomes filled by something eventually, that's all. Hopefully it would be something good.

I hope that made sense.

Take care,

Anni

People here telling they lost dignity because of post traumatic stress disorder, another person saying he lost trust on himself, and lost his self esteem, share with me in what situation make you lost the dignity, trust on yourself, and feeling low self esteem. What happen in your life that day...

Hi Romeo88_88,

I feel from several threads that you've started that you're really soliciting a lot of personal information from other people, especially things that would be humiliating and painful to them. I have not seen you share any of your experiences/difficulties and I have not seen you being supportive to others. What are you doing?

Thanks for your post Anni. The key really is filling those voids with something positive. No doubt we have to acknowledge, process and mourn the losses, that is part of recovery. But.....in order to heal we must replace the negative with positives. Build a life of beauty and value.

I would like to hear your story Romeo. I know that it is difficult to share, but it would help to get to know you a bit better. You will find much support and experience here. Please do share as you are able.

bluecat and Iam I am sorry. I am not sharing my story I agree my mistake, but I am slowly revealing about myself, I am living with my abuser, I got post about that.

Please give me sometime. I am trying. By the way last time when I was reading a post it trigger my flashback, then in live chat I told that person about that etc. Like that if any of my post trigger anyone please let me know. I won't post any question or start any thread like that again. Thank you for your reply guys.

I get humiliate terribly in public last month when my relationship ending in abusive, just 26 days ago. So my nightmare and difficulty to sleep get worse.

Give me some time to share. I will do it slowly. And I also already told my father is my abuser in my childhood.
