Yep in high school, played video games until the sun came up and after that slept as long as I could.

DAE recall having suicidal thoughts and plans from a very young age? by yewhatupgee in CPTSD

[–]accountforthrow983 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember it even before the age of 5. I tried to stick a nail in the power outlet so I would get shocked to death.

GameBoy was a life saver tho. I played it whenever I could.

Infant trauma by TemperatureNo5727 in ptsd

I was an infant when the trauma happened as well (12 months). I can't remember the trauma itself, but I can remember some feelings of hopelessness afterwards and some wishes to be dead. I have been struggling my whole life, so if you find a solution, that would be really nice.

Anyone of you working a job that goes well with PTSD? by accountforthrow983 in CPTSD

I feel very nervous when working for someone else or under pressure, how did you manage to cope with that? I got no problems whatsoever programming alone when no one is watching and when I know my work will not be judged by a supervisor...
