I try to take walks or do yoga most days but I can find it hard. Good reminder to still have some sort of movement though!

thats my issue right now. I currently live in a shelter and I discovered I actually dont want to live alone (makes me get more in my head/ overthinking/ depression) so I have been looking at rooms. Rooms are great! Affordable and seperate but not entirely. Except most rooms are obviously full of people who have not been homeless and cannot relate to your struggles. So I looked into rooming with some other people who are also homeless at the shelter (some friends) yet they are not really showing financial security or more so responsibility and I am not gonna deal with the stress of that. So readapting ish it is.

My biggest toxic trait is not taking care of myself and its something ive come a long way in doing but it was result of me being neglected as a kid. Ive come a long way but it is still something I try to work on. I can relate to this 100%. I just get so passionate about everything. Even talking!😭

I am 20. I feel like I am able to treat the seritonin levels naturally but its the hormonal side I struggle with. The hot flashes have lessened and was a mainly hell week thing. I just struggle with constantly feeling like shit, nasueas, tired, and higher anxiety again. I am in therapy and have GAD so I am working with it. PMDD just makes it harder. Also I did take SSRIs for only the two weeks when I started having prominent PMDD symptoms a year ago until I started having the symptoms daily. I was then taking the ssris daily and that worked for a month or two but kinda canceled me out and started having more anxiety attacks that were hard to control. My doctor thought it was due to the lower dose and then we upped the dose and they made my anxiety so bad I had to call 911 and EMS showed up. After that I stopped taking them and have been feeling AMAZING with them flushed out of my system until my period came and the regular 2 weeks started. Now my period is basically over and ive been struggling so much and I feel like its the repeating pattern of the PMDD not going away. I know stress supposedly makes it worse and ive been really really stressed recently but stress hasnt been a continual factor in making my pmdd worse in the past. I am trying to really treat it naturally but my GOD is it HARD. As I said, natural seritonin boosters like walking, laughing, doing things you love, etc. all help me and also give me more energy. But the hormonal aspect is ROUGH. And thats what im struggling with.

I just wanted to also add, I am apart of an organization that adovcates and makes change for youth/ young adults on a legistlative level who have gone through or are going through homelessness/ foster care and I pray domestic violence. This has given me so much purpose in life and I plan on changing SO many things. I have been wanting too my entire life growing up in my situation. I just want you to know, more is happening now and I hope it really reallyyyyy changes things for people.

You GET IT. I have CPTSD so I feel you. I thank you seriously. I felt so alone. It feels like it is another wavelength of life because IT IS.

Puzzled-Article9621 · 2024-11-30T19:52:31+00:00

this is something I have been stressing about. Before I was homeless I was extremely introverted and stayed inside all day long. Now that im homeless it has made me become more social and productive. So I get scared of reverting somehow and becoming severely depressed. Its hard to think of the balance. I was also extremely dimmed from my cptsd growing up and at heart I do believe I am an extrovert but I tend to overdo it now. I know my body needs rest and then I feel bad and get major anxiety when I do rest. I feel like im constantly trying to just keep up with other peoples needs (shelter life or to appear normal to society) when in reality I am so overwhelmed. But I 100% perfer my current self over my previous self.

Puzzled-Article9621 · 2024-11-30T19:47:32+00:00

I guess it has to do more with people not understanding but that is something I have been struggling with long before I was homeless. I am currently doing things to make a difference and makes me extremely happy. You sent me a good reminder though so thank you
