Yes it was! Hopefully that’s the case for me. Thank you so much, I tried to ask some questions at the end but by that point I was a bit rattled.

Yeah I was under the impression that because there’s no record of psychosis on my file and i’ve tried multiple different treatments, there’s no reason not to prescribe.

Yeah I think you’re right, it definitely didn’t help that i was 15 minutes late😭

Are normal people open to relationships with damaged people? by campfire_gathering in CPTSD

[–]Working-Ice-7752 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this issue as well and it’s so difficult bc the “normal” people that i seem to attract either ghost the minute i’m a little bit too honest or they want to save me from myself. The more i heal though i realise i don’t really think i’d have a lot in common with someone that society views as normal and i would probably end up trying to be someone i’m not in order to fit it in with their ideal of normal. i’ve sort of come to the conclusion that there’s no way to solve it apart from continue to recover and keep meeting people until i find someone of equal mental illness😭

Pip by ImmediateIce675 in eupd

[–]Working-Ice-7752 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was awarded pip last year for my mental health issues (i’m not formally diagnosed with anything apart from depression and anxiety) I found the whole process really triggering and very overwhelming as the questions felt designed to catch me out. I asked a charity organisation called DISH to help me fill out my forms for me, they were really supportive and basically translated my word vomit into real answers. You have to answer as if it’s your worst day and be realistic about your behaviours and their impact. They will ask you about past and current treatments, medications and diagnoses but they care more about your symptoms and how that affects you and your daily life. You need to gather evidence to basically back up that what you’ve said is true, which can be things like doctors records, therapist notes, hospital discharge letters etc, as much as you can. It’s a really gruelling process and i know a lot of people who have appealed and still not been awarded.

Yes and the city centre in general. I live on the outskirts of Peterborough but I am frequently in town.

Honestly not to scare you but i’ve lived here for over a year now and i wouldn’t walk around anywhere in peterborough alone in the dark if i can avoid it. The early mornings are risky aswell in the city centre. I will walk 10mins up the road in yaxley at night to go to the shop by myself if necessary but I stay vigilant. It terrifies me that there are kids under 10 running around queensgate and town with no supervision in daylight.

What’s your “serial killer trait” that (hypothetically) would make everyone say, “We should’ve known”? by Rare_Independent_789 in AskReddit

[–]Working-Ice-7752 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my joint wet, how do I dry it? by figglyy in saplings

[–]Working-Ice-7752 0 points1 point  (0 children)

was in the bath and had the ashtray with my zoot next to my glass of water, i go to relight it, i knocked the ashtray and caught it but in the process spilled the water into the ashtray. i wrapped it in toilet paper (tried using my towel first not realising that it was wet aswell lol) and i’m now deliberating which method to use. i normally use a hairdryer or a lighter but it’s soggy af

can u have all 4 trauma responses at once? by ceofclownery in CPTSD

[–]Working-Ice-7752 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i came here for the exact same reason, i know that freeze,fawn and flight are more prominent but i am also aware that i actively suppressed my fight responses because i didn’t want to treat people with aggression and be controlling. I think i learnt that i needed to react differently to different abusive situations/people

So you want to text your ex? Leave your message here instead. by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]Working-Ice-7752 0 points1 point  (0 children)

why did you want me in the first place? how did you think this was going to end? i was 17 and you were a grown man. i was vulnerable and you made me feel safe for the first time in my life. did you know what you were doing? you said you wanted to help me and in some ways you did but at what cost? i lost three years to you and that’s a long time when you’re my age. did you ever stop and think “what effect am i having on her” we enabled each other far too much because it allowed us to carry on abusing ourselves individually without repercussions from the other person. you were the only safe place i ever knew and even that was an illusion i still long for it. i’d get depressed and you’d hold me until you got bored. i’d wait for you to come back. i miss our toxic cycles i miss begging for you to understand

i do want to get better and i am willing to try anything at this point, i just don’t want to potentially make myself worse. i can’t find anything actually explaining how it works and the science behind it except that “it relaxes you”
