What I Hate The Most About Ptsd

[angel2write]

Isn't PTSD just basically one big fat delayed reaction?

Stormyweather- maybe sometimes you're numbing it out at first when you're triggered. You really are triggered immediately, but it can take a while for the numbing to thaw enough that you can really feel that you're upset.

The thing I hate most about PTSD right now is the hurt look on my husband's face. The one person I never want to hurt. :notworthy:

Just want to get rid of the on goingness of this, just when youv'e conquered some demon , there seems to big one twice as big around the corner. I feel stronger, wiser, more compassionate, less angry etc but completely knackered.

You made me laugh out loud at this. You're quite right - it is! :laugh:

I hate it when it just seems to follow you like a stalker.

You can feel it behind even when things are going great and then it jumps you unawares. I really hate that.

I hate how it makes me always fear the worst, even though I'm taking myself it won't be that bad.

I hate it when I freak out in public and people stare at me.

I also hate it that those closets to me don't understand and have made no effort to (they just 'suffer' me).

I also hate having a mental illness and how people treat you after they find out. I hate being suicidal all the time. I hate screaming myself awake 20 times a night. I hate the freaking out, the not trusting folks, the being sure my best friend is not really my friend. Being fat, going to therapy, NOT going to therapy, cutting and head banging. Wondering what its like to not be afraid all the time.
