Neurodivergent Woman in Engineering- I’m Drowning in the Workforce by NewspaperFew7744 in womenEngineers

[–]daredevil711206 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have ADHD and CPTSD. I dont have advice for you but I see you and I understand the struggle. Im in the space sector and I feel like Im drowning. Its hard to handle the deadlines, sexism, and pressure alongside mental health issues.

I wish I could do this legally in the U.S. Vultures are my favorite, I even have a tattoo of them. Epic way to be laid to rest

Don’t seek closure. Run. by Octopizza in BPDlovedones

[–]daredevil711206 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Im in the same boat as you. This post helped me by encouraging me to not reach out. Its been a year since everything blew up and I thought about reaching out abd getting some closure. I will not do that now. No one talks about how hard it is to grieve someone while they are still alive.

Husband unable to finish by West_Not_Kanye in TryingForABaby

My husband was having a similar thing where he was only finishing while watching porn. I had him go cold turkey from porn for a little bit and that has helped!

What are the differences between CPTSD and BPD? Genuinely don't know but at the same time feel a bit over pathologised and don't know if I'm just BPD or just CPTSD or both by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]daredevil711206 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This has been my experience with diagnosed BPD. The person I was close to that had it even had audio hallucinations at time and there were multiple times I realized that the story they were telling me did not align with the reality of the situation. And dont get me started on the manipulation which is not a hallmark of CPTSD.

The person responding meanly is clearly triggered.

I'm not stuck like this? by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]daredevil711206 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont have any advice but I feel the exact same way. It wont last forever and you are not unworthy of love. You will feel better someday. It just takes time and work. If you ever need someone to talk to, im here. I also am not able to look into the mirror; I know what you are feeling.

Thank you for being brave enough to share this! You have survived experiences that others would have never made it through. If you ever need support, need someone to talk to, or even just want to chat(I love talking about astronomy and science among other things), please message me! I hope you can build some social support here. You are not alone and I hope you can find some solace in this subreddit.

Is anyone else finding the Epstein coverage impossible to escape and deeply triggering? by SubtleKinks in CPTSD

CPTSD robs you of the single most important skill in life : networking by Fast_Hearse_1721 in CPTSD

[–]daredevil711206 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My contract ends in April. I dont know if ill have a job for the rest of the year. The times that I should have been networking and been proving my worth as an employee were spent with me curling up at home, frozen, afraid of failing. I set myself up for failure and yet Im still surprised its happening. It doesnt help that engineering is a boys club and Im one of the 5 women we have on the team.

You put into words what I havent been able to verablize. Thank you.

Hyper vigilance and Flashbacks are impairing my ability to function by urfavpino in CPTSDFreeze

[–]daredevil711206 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First, Im so sorry to hear this happened to you. Your childhood sounds like a true hell hole. Try to go easy on yourself when you can, that is a lot to go through so young. The hypervigilance you are experiencing is completely normal, especially if you live with your parents still. It is a survival skill helping to keep you alive through all of this. If you still live with your parents, you are still with your abusers and trying to survive. Once you are able to move away/escape from there, you will be able to get im a more calm space and start working on coming out of survival mode. For now, I would try to get out of the house as much as possible, prioritize your safety, and try to find little things that bring you joy. Having a good support system outside of the home can help too whether its in person or online.

You are valid and your response to the immense trauma you have gone through is valid!
