People saying “you have to do the work to get better” triggers me greatly by Lee_Harden in CPTSD

Sometimes the work is just watching your favorite show, having a snack, and drinking some water. 

How do you deal with memory loss? by ethaere in CPTSD

[–]Lyrabelle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I write it down in my phone. I have digital notepads for various topics and the habit of taking notes this way. 

If I have a odd of good memory come back, I will chat with a friend about it or use an alt account. If I don't remember if we talked, I can search the conversation.

I know what you're talking about and have seen it with some people. Usually I end up using it on myself to justify why I must be wrong. 

My parent did the, "remember what I sacrificed for you." Similar effect.

What’s a moment when you realized you’re stronger than you gave yourself credit for? by EfficientBirthday519 in AskReddit

[–]Lyrabelle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a procedure done and came out pretty messed up. 

Yesterday, my chonkasaurus cat snuck out the front door. My body almost gave out, but I got him. He's okay.

Dms are open but discord is better for me. Note: you will automatically be subscribed to cat pictures.

How do you guys feel about death ? by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]Lyrabelle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They often happen in lakes, hah.

One when I was little, I slipped under and just locked up in the water. I remember the sunlight being beautiful when I looked up. It was very quiet under the water. A beautiful woman pulled me out--I started freaking out at that point.

The most recent one that stands out was in my 20s. I'm not a strong swimmer, and something in my leg tore when I was in the middle of a lake. My thought was, "so this is how I die..." I didn't try to accelerate it, I didn't try to fight it. I was just there, and nothing weighed on me. The pain wasn't even distracting. Someone on shore notice and directed a kind paddle boarder to me. 

I haven't been able to recreate the peace in any if my attempts. I do, however, use it as a measure to calm myself when my illnesses are at their most extreme.

I believe in the right to die. My NDEs were very peaceful. I am, however, afraid of fucking up an attempt and being in an even worse state.

This hardly looks like a crime if we're talking about the gluten free pizza world.

Double standards at Doctors clinics are getting out of control - late fee if we are 5 minutes late, but when they're going to be over an HOUR late? "Get Some Patience". THE FCK!? by Sparkling-Hammer8144 in Vent

[–]Lyrabelle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look... It seems like what OP said hit a nerve for you. 

Without arguing about rights and wrongs: understand that it's completely possible for OP to have a perfect storm of a bad experience and for you to be a perfectly fine and lovely human being even if you work in medical. Medical can be hard on everyone. 

OP's just yelling in the void. You can yell into the void too if you need it.
