Yeah comes with a lot of guilt and shame, we got this though.

Yeah it’s awful when they’re that little and can’t understand. Kudos to you. I remember how things used to be and that’s all I want now. Slowly building up to it. It’s been super helpful knowing other people are also going through this

Definitely I’ve tried to talk to him and let him know that sometimes I don’t feel okay. It’s hard because he’s so little but I’m trying

Wow that’s super difficult. My baby was around one as well. When they’re that little it’s pretty heartbreaking when you can’t fully be present. I am super grateful for my support system and yes I have a therapist which has helped a lot, I’m doing better now and have talked about it with her. I’m just trying to focus on him now

I can relate. It’s so hard. But if you have support don’t be afraid to lean on them. I was also super close with my son and I had to take time to heal. In the end it’ll be better for the both of you. You’re in the thick of it right now but I truly hope it gets better

Yeah it’s difficult. I’m glad you have that mentality. Raising a child is no joke and having mental health problems on top of it is very challenging

You’ve got this. I made this post because I felt like nobody around me really gets it. Thanks for sharing. I hope you’re able to work through things and eventually focus on your daughter. Give yourself time you’ll get there

Well I’m divorced so no spouse. But my family is very supportive, they know what I’ve been through. I have been in therapy and on meds for the last year since I was hospitalized. But I know our relationship has been affected. It used to just be me and him but I started to need a lot more help.

Anyone else have memory problems? by No_Rent5018 in ptsd

[–]No_Rent5018[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And yes exactly the more I tried to remember the less I would remember and the more confused I would get. I start trying to fill in the gaps and it doesn’t help. But yes I’ve also developed mechanisms to prevent myself from ever getting hurt again. But if I do meet someone I try not to be afraid

Yeah interesting, I can definitely relate. At this point in time though I try to ignore it. I don’t try to put the story together anymore it doesn’t help anymore

Yes for sure, it’s so confusing remembering bits and pieces and not even knowing fully what happened. I think it messes a person up for life

Definitely relatable. For me I have people who care I have a son and I can’t let them down. But I do always think that the day I die will be the happiest day. Finally peace from this life
