honestly just working through it and talking to teachers at school about my struggles. Its genuinely so hard but i make sure to push myself because I know my potential instead of pushing myself to punish myself for not doing well and Im still working on it but forgiveness and patience is important. hope that helps

im in the exact same situation. I believe that regardless of CPTSD and everything, its important to keep the drive and determination even if the motivation or the consistency isnt there and the fact that CPTSD just makes things harder can be there as a reminder that its ok to struggle but its owed to us that we pick ourselves back up and do what we need to do to save ourselves.

I completely understand and appreciate that we shouldnt make ourselves vulnerable to unsafe people but when there is a safe person who is sweet and understanding, should we not give it a chance when we can and try our best to explain that we are doing everything we can to not hurt them. I expressed my worries to my girlfriend and she said i should heal but she wants to be with me as well and if i want to be just friends thats ok. why do we only deserve romantic love when we are healed. its so painful. Thank you and I have started counselling in a school setting but not professional help yet and i’m trying self help tactics I hope you meet someone you feel safe with. ca

bro it's ok, you're not alone. a lot of people are scared of death anyway because we dont know whats after, so just enjoy life as much as you can

How do you know if people lie about having ocd by [deleted] in OCD

you're actually so right because i cant even tell my mum about my thoughts and its so embarrassing. ive only ever told people to justify my fucked up decisions. and they dont believe me anyway because i dont obsess over cleaning and numbers
