I'm struggling with my own PTSD and it is hard

A lot of people are sympathetic to the concept of PTSD but not the reality of it.

They expect you to stare off into space or be sad, and they aren’t sympathetic to the angry moments, to strong reactions to triggers, to the paranoia and fear of abandonment, they aren’t sympathetic to the disorders that are often co-morbid like personality disorders, dissociative disorders, or psychotic disorder. There’s more to PTSD than just “being shy” or scared.

I can relate so much to this! I've heard the exact same things from the same people. It drives me mad sometimes

-When I told the army doctor that sometimes my period pains make me unable to function for days, he didn’t even write that down. -When I told my dad “don’t touch me, I’m in pain” he backed down for a moment until my mom told him “she’s on her period”. Then he just laughed. -When I told my teacher before a big test that I was unable to do it because I was in extreme pain and could barely move at all, she said I was making up excuses and that it wasn’t a real reason not to do the test.  -Wenever I tell someone about how different I feel during my period emotionally they say I’m just “making up drama”.  We need to start treating people on their periods like actual human beings in pain. 

-The fact that it occurs monthly doesn’t make the pain less real. It should be treated seriously and with respect. -The fact that the hormones effect the emotions doesn’t make your sadness less painful or the anger less valid or that terrible feeling of being lost less terrifying. Guess what? Hormones affect everyone. Feelings aren’t always rational. It should be also treated seriously and with respect.

Please stop mocking people with periods. Please stop dismissing us. Please stop violating our boundries. Please respect people with periods.

Facts!!!!

No Love like Self Love.

Message!!!!

Relationships don't fix illnesses

Happy parents don't fix illnesses

New presents don't fix illnesses

New hair cuts or clothes etc. don't fix illnesses

Distractions don't fix illnesses

Closeness in faith doesn't fix illnesses

Do they sometimes help us mentally to give us hope, or something to cling to while we go through it?

Usually yes (depends on the person)

But it won't fix us.

My soul felt this as I was reading it. It is exactly how I feel deeply about life right now. I don't wish it on no one.

Being the "Black Sheep" in the family, this reminds me so much of my family. I've been dealing with colorism in my family for some time. Why is that?! I wish I knew the answer. What I do know is that even though they talk hella shit about me, they secretly want my life. How is it that you can bully me, criticize me, body shame and bash me, yet get upset when I choose not to spend time with you?! Please tell me, how does that make any sense!? Our families, I've learned that they can be our first bullies in our lives. And when you point it out to them, to them it is "tough love". That's not tough love. Let's be real about what it truly is! It is manipulation, narcissism, jealousy, insecurity and straight out hate that people project onto you because they aren't happy. I've been reading The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz. The second agreement is to not take things personally because the person who is doing all the negative things is projecting their true feelings towards you. I let what someone says go into one ear and out the other a lot. I refuse to get myself hurt because of others actions, words and energy. Their pain has nothing to do with me. I love my family but I can admit I don't like a lot of them. I set healthy and safe boundaries to protect myself. I don't know who this may resonate with. I hope you know that you are great the way you are. Just because your family may treat you in a certain manner, doesn't mean you are suppose to be ok with it. Set boundaries and if that me separating yourself for a while, then please do so! Please know that You Matter! Keep fighting!

My life feels very heavy as we speak. I just went through a hyper mania episode about a week ago. I now feel the blows of depression and anxiety hit me now. I feel horrible once I realize what I have done during the time of being in the hyper mania state. With my health constantly changing, it totally can affect the brain and mental health. I'm still having issues with my feeding tube, which is beyond my control. I wanna control everything. It isn't place to do so. I know it is dark right now, but I hope to start seeing the light at the end of the tunnel really soon. Keep fighting!

I feel so alone when it comes to having EDS. I miss my old life so much. I truly want to be happy again. I'm working hard to figure out what makes me happy as well as how to be happy again. It is a feeling that is foreign to me right now. I honestly can't recall the last time I have felt truly and pure happiness! I wonder will I ever get that feeling again... The not so great days, fucks with my mental health a lot. My body is doing things that are beyond my control. I just wish for one day of no pain and just a day of pure bliss... I long for it actually. Chasing a feeling that I would do whatever to feel again... Hopefully one day, happiness will find me again. Keep fighting!

I so resonate with this mantra right now! I've been cutting some cords for some time. I know that by doing so, is my form of healing from the past and those past influences in my life. I never regret, yet I never forget the lessons I've learned from that time in my life! So I release everything and everyone who doesn't deserve me nor my energy.

Speak!!! 🗣

Seriously though like, I missed the boat on this whole radical honesty thing. I guess everyone wants to be true to themselves now? That’s…great…but like you’re really only ever going to meet a select few people you can be totally honest with about everything. Lie to strangers! Lie to authorities! Like damn didn’t you have parents that told you never to tell people on the phone that you were home alone? When the interviewer asks if you ever experimented with drugs, you say no! This is not a therapy session! He’s got no business asking you that anyway! Lots and lots of people are not entitled to your vulnerability. Damn.
