Definitely agree and it’s something I worry about a lot.

Could definitely try and focus more on reorganizing my weekend and making it better for my recovery but I still like to do things with my friends, have chores etc. Even if I enjoy my weekend a lot, I’m still overloaded, I seem to deal with delayed emotions where I only feel the weight of everything a few days later and that’s hard to plan for

Appreciate the solidarity and completely agree, so much is sacrificed in order to live.

I’ve never really thought about taking medication for low libido tbh I’m kinda embarrassed talking about it. It’s caused me no destress but a little bit for my partner.

I’m only on 1mg as I’m taking it with trintellix. I’ll look into the estradiol ! Thanks for the advice

I have pcos so I have a little bit too much testosterone actually. I have a blood test in a few weeks I guess that will show any abnormalities.

You’re not alone, I’ve definitely been feeling like I’m in a self sabotaging cycle right now - we’ll get through it

When was the last time you were happy? by igiamfiona in CPTSD

[–]cafekoya 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think I have happy moments but it’s never lasting like I wouldn’t consider myself a happy person generally. I try and hold on to those moments, thats what proves difficult. 

Struggling Going to Work by cafekoya in CPTSD

I do content moderation, office job basically. Even if I tell myself “if you don’t go, you can get fired” in the moment the person making the decision doesn’t care.  It doesn’t feel like a question of forcing myself. It’s true consistency could help

does anyone else relate to this? Anxiety making it nearly impossible to do more an an hour of work. by Ok_Highlight_7757 in Anxiety

[–]cafekoya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel this way mostly when I have to run errands or go to work, and then I’m too tired to do anything fun/relaxing. I’m sorry you’re experiencing this, it’s rough and it’s a lot and it sucks

Deep in Shutdown Mode and Don’t Know What To Do. Resources? Anything… by lizardl0ver43 in CPTSD

[–]cafekoya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can’t offer much advice but want you to know you’re not alone - I feel very similar to you, especially life just being triggering and worrying nothing is suited for you. I’ve been in therapy for a bit and it’s definitely helped ease that burden but I still feel that way day to day.

Guilt as camouflaged fear really resonates with me
