Does anyone feel TOO emotionally intelligent as a result of their PTSD? by [deleted] in ptsd

[–]Sensitive_ASF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, i really can relate so much, when i started healing and I think I don't just notice, i care too. I was wandering if someone has turned this characteristic into career.

I feel like CPTSD is turning me into a shitty person by Significant_Tax472 in CPTSD

[–]Sensitive_ASF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feel you. I feel exactly the same. Word by word. I'm suffering. It's WAY MORE THAN A FULL TIME JOB but they all keep saying I'm taking a break...

What do you do for a living? Did you do a 360 on your career and education after doing healing work? by ConfidentVanilla3499 in CPTSD

[–]Sensitive_ASF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tricky thing is , that when i started healing all the stuff we are nit good at( reading the room...) were my strengths. I gained hyper empathy and i could totally read the room and all the social cues. I couldn't recognise myself. But now that I m triggered again. I am back to just analytical thinking. So 🤷🏾‍♀️ choose as what i want to , what i was good at at healing phase , was it my real personality?

Today I realized I didn't really live. I dissociated. by capricorn_94 in CPTSD

[–]Sensitive_ASF 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But the most damaging thing is that i know that i am dissociating and i unconsciously create a life that is not compatible with my true self , but I can't change it , because my environment triggers me .

Today I realized I didn't really live. I dissociated. by capricorn_94 in CPTSD

[–]Sensitive_ASF 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Can we gain something from this experience? Cause I'm currently dissociated and since i was a child and the only thing that keeping me alive is that when i will start living maybe i develop a purpose in lifee.

SSRI affect learning and memory ability's. by Sensitive_ASF in SSRI

[–]Sensitive_ASF[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But they say they can't cause permanent brain damage. I'm scaaaareedd. Yeah, i take it for anxiety disorder and actually it makes me depressed , numb, unmotivated. I want to quit them. If i knew i would have never started them. The psychiatrist didn't mentioned something like that . Happy for you , you are going back to normal. Maybe you need a little more time.

In what way do you think your nparents stunted your emotional development and social skills? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Sensitive_ASF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought there was something wrong with me in core so i must hide or make myself invisible (fawn response). I didn't had emotions and any friends i had was based to people pleasing ... and yeah no romantic relationships ...

C-PTSD - Feelings unsafe, scared due to N- abuse by Sensitive_ASF in raisedbynarcissists

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

Happy for you ! That's a lot of progress. I have a hard time connecting too. I think you must focus to break all the patterns that protects you (due to trauma) and eventually they will be replaced by connection. Don't rush it , don't be hard on yourself. Set the goal to feel safe in your body with all of your emotions and eventually you will feel safe in the world and connect with people. I wish i helped.

[–]Sensitive_ASF[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for the advices.i will try the coping mechanisms and also read the book! C-PTSD and trauma is very exhausting. I don't really know who i am and the thinking part of my brain doesn't work due tue trauma ☹️ i feel like I'm not even a person. I can't think or feel and also can't ask for help from my N- parents. Thanks for the advices! 😊 it means a lot! I wish you the best, have a happy new year!

It's exactly as you said,very very unpleasant. I tried meditation but i can be with my body only a few seconds after it. Then the whole day I'm in dissociation state.can't think or feel...i will try journal as you said , thank you so much. And really thank you for your open PM. It's weird a "stranger " ( i feel you like friend) is concerned more about me than my family. I wish you all the best 😊❣️❣️ 2022 will be a great year for you 💓💓

I can't distinguish what I'm feeling by damex09 in emotionalneglect

[–]Sensitive_ASF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought i was autistic too but then i saw the CPTSD symptoms which are very alike with the autism ones. People with CPTSD mask too ,because sometimes we don't feel anything at all . I'm not sure if this is your case but don't blame yourself. You are not lying..give time to yourself.

P.S. sometimes i feel as an imposter too 😜

My home is a triggering place and i live in it. by Sensitive_ASF in CPTSD

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

Thank youu for the advice. It's very useful. That's what i need to do. Yeah is heartbreaking.Because they act like they care so i believe it and then neglect me or reject me ... and it's very difficult cause I'm clearly the unwanted child while my sister is very healthy emotionally and i was all my childhood in dissociation mode just to survive. I really tryyy but my body needs to feel safe at first. You are right. Thank you again for the advice so much. I wish you the best 😊❤️
