What I Hate The Most About Ptsd

[PepperAnne]

@ FreakofNurture. I don't think it is ridiculous to isolate. I know I use isolation as a way of protecting myself and my loved ones from my triggers. I am learning to just be OK with where I am at the moment and staying there are long as I need to. I understand the frustration. And I hope you begin to move past that place soon. Good Luck.

I hate feeling a desperate need to explain something until every facet of it is known and I am completely exonerated of whatever misunderstanding occurred... only to realize that the misunderstanding would have been better than the truth because the truth is that I have a mental illness that prevented me from being normal in the first place.

​

I hate that my PTSD hurts everyone around me.

I'd rather be suffering post stress disorder (((minus the traumatic))). I can imagine I'd overcome, deal and live really well with this. So another words, I really, really, really dislike the traumatic part of Ptsd.

Right now, what I hate most is the insecurity, self-questioning and hyperviglince (as of late even my partner and cats moving can spook me and I spiral emotionally!)

I also hate the constant defensiveness.

I hate ptsd, it is the scariest stuff to face and deal with, and it does not go away.:mad::confused::eek::oops::rolleyes:

I hate that there is no cure.

I hate when I step outside myself and watch myself panic, even while verbalizing how I need to calm down like I'm somebody else entirely, it's a freak show on wheels at times. :(

I hate that even when I am stable on medication and treating my bipolar and handling my moods and doing better mood wise, the PTSD shows no mercy. It would be nice for just one day with no symptoms of anything.

I hate when you're holding everything inside and you get that lump in your throat and knot in your stomach sometimes almost to the point of nausea. I hate how sensitive it's made me. I cry when I hear of other people suffering in the world even if it's someone I never met. I hate the war because I think about all the other people who are going to come home with PTSD. I weep for anyone who has to deal with such a soul sucking mental, but yet I think that if everyone was as sensitive as I was, maybe the world would be a better place.

I hate when people tell me "how lucky I am to be alive." They think it's just this one incident, which for the most part is the worst part of it. But I was being abused by him for almost two years. I had a child with him, and I was scared to leave for a long time. I finally left him and he came to my dad's house where I was staying and stabbed me.

What I hate most is.....the transition from what you were to what you are suppose to be....no one can tell me what that is, how long its going to take or when things will start to change...And mostly I HATE when my 7 year old sweet daughter comes into scare me, just for some attention, and I raise my fist out of habit from work. Or I YELL don't do that, when all she wants is a hug and some time from Daddy..what a Jerk

I hate and loathe the anxiety. I hate how it hits you upside the head, and robs you of all good feelings you have the potential to have. I hate how it interrupts my world when I geninely want to do something and I have to change my plans because I am too in la la land to do it.

I do not have it really bad, just enough to make me uncomfortable. Just enough to screw with me. Just enough to rob another day from my life.:mad::mad::mad::mad:

lately I have swapped clenching for sucking and I wake with big ridges inside my mouth from the vaccuum..

Holy cow! I thought this was some weird thing that only I did! I always wake up with those ridges! They are truly annoying.

The thing (like many of you) that I really hate most about PTSD is that when things are bad, really bad, I have to spell it out to my family because they are just so clueless. I even gave them stuff to read ... but since I've had this as long as my kids have known me, and they've seen my meltdowns so many times I guess they just figure ... well that's normal for mom. I hate it!

I think we are all doing the best we can, too bad people who have never felt it can't have it just for an hour even, so that they could "get it!" :sick:
