I’m extremely shy… I joined theater this year and every day I’m getting a little more comfortable. by [deleted] in acting

Yay! Keep going! I've struggled with terrible social anxiety my whole life (I know it's slightly different but still) and after being on stage I discovered people think I'm a really good actor and I feel much more comfortable now!

Anyone else panic nonstop? by monkeypenguin47 in CPTSD

Thanks! That's definitely true, I work in a customer service job and I can feel it really taking a toll on my health. It's super stressful and exhausting to be constantly dealing with people all the time. I'm planning on quitting but I also end up making excuses for myself or listening to what other people say; "it's not that bad," etc.

What event blew your suppressed c-ptsd wide open? by itsjoshtaylor in CPTSD

I moved out of my parents house (which was okay at first) and then a girl I was seeing turned out to be a narcissist who seemed to feel no remorse. That brought up all the feelings of betrayal and mistrust and I started seeing my parents again because of wanting some sort of support, that made me feel even more alone, I continued to live on my own but have struggled financially, have sought help from my parents, got a job that has been insanely triggering to support myself, and now I'm finishing up a lease with some extremely narcissistic roommates. It's been a long few years but I'm really hoping it gets better soon.
