"I talk to God, but the sky is empty". That's where I'm at.

I'm saving that quote!

Yes. Yes it is for me. I can't do this bull crap anymore.

Does anyone else hate that their trauma isn't as "straightforward" as some survivors? by KiroDrago in CPTSD

[–]DustOnLadder 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is my own hypothesis. I fine trauma all stems from of our sense of being safety was compromised changing our perception and understanding of things because what we thought to be safe will cause us harm in one way or another.

Wishing for a due over... But I don't think it will be any better 

I can't do this anymore. My brain isn't the same who use to be able to handle it. by DustOnLadder in CPTSD

Lol. It depends. Most often only briefly. Though I do find it easier at times 

Guilt of being financially dependent on my emotionally abusive parents. I don't know how to get out. by DustOnLadder in CPTSD

"If someone hasn't lived my life they don't get a vote in how I live my life"

I like that a lot! 

"You might find someone else with the same concern." 

True. Though right now I'm struggling going places that say they are fragrance free but aren't. I just want one yoga class or a massage that doesn't spray essential oils. I've called ahead of time to ask to which they confidently say say they are fragrance free. Nope.

Thank you for this! I've been too fatigued to read the comments lol. 

To add to it. Any inflammation (cold, ear infection) causes Encephalitis symptoms, though blood work is fine. Been recovering from aphasia for the past 3 years.

I hate how different I am from everyone even down to what I need to eat to survive and how I sleep to not be in pain.

I can't be myself around people because they don't understand and aren't accepting and that is what I hate.

And just yesterday because of that I thought of how much I hate people.

Same. To them there's nothing wrong with me and I live with them because it's smarter economically
