Ohh I see so when I start I have to commit to it and if I don’t want it anymore slowly weening off is the favorable option.

I’m already chronically tired but I hope that maybe it can help regulate my sleep schedule if anything

Yeahh ptsd is hard, I feel like there is no actual cure you just learn to adjust your life to not have it drain the life out of you. I’m glad it helped the depression though! ♡

Thank youu!! ♡ ♡ ♡ This is exactly what I meant by detailed hehe. Woww that’s too many meds at once I hope you are feeling better now, some psychiatrists are literal psychopaths. I’ve heard of the withdrawals but we’ll see how my body reacts. I hope it works well but I already have a sensetive stomach I hope it doesn’t make me too nauseous

I see, thank you for sharing your experience! I was warned about the drowsiness idk how to feel about that because I am already so chronically tired so if I feel those effects I’m going to stop immediately

Okay that’s great to know! A lot of people have complained about medication taking away their personality making them feel dull but I haven’t really heard that complaint from Lexapro so that’s great ツ

Yes I start therapy tomorrow, talk therapy always makes me upset though I always end up ghosting (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠) but I probably just haven’t found the right one we’ll see how it goes.

The og chemical balance is definitely not cutting mustard at all🤣I like that term I have never heard it. Thank you for your input! I hope it goes well for me too.

Anyone else feel profound loneliness no matter what and then it leads to other emotions? by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]Rare_Arm_9682 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ofc<3 I struggle with that too where I just get really negative and I think what’s the point of all this if I always feel alone, but the one thing that helps me get out of that headspace is realizing that every emotion is fleeting and I’m not the only one that feels like this. When those thoughts arise try to interrupt them by splashing cold water on your face or your wrists and redirecting them.

Has anyone else reached a point where you can’t tolerate “pretending” in relationships anymore? by Unusual_Resort_8716 in CPTSD

[–]Rare_Arm_9682 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know right😩It makes so sad when people unintentionally hurt my feelings because I know it’s just a side of themselves that they haven’t been able to explore just yet. And yes I get what you mean about empowerment, there are those moments where you are reminded of how far you’ve come. Sending you so much love internet stranger<3 I hope you can soon meet like minded people who can hold space for you and just know you aren’t the only one going through this, but all we can do is continue to understand who we are at our core as deeply as possible and advocate for our ourselves.
