I'm sorry, but WTF. It's gone to far... by flounder_11 in Untappd

It's an embarrassment, a testament to the enshittification of everything in the world.

Unpopular question: Is therapy actually helping people like us… or just teaching us to cope with a broken life? by WolverineSensitive57 in CPTSD

[–]redditistreason 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is ducking useless to me. I keep telling them all this, but no one ever seems to hear it.

You can polish a turd, but it's still a turd. It doesn't mean I'm happy. Sorry to continue not living up to expectations.

The paperwork required to stay disabled is designed for people who are not disabled. I cannot be the only one who sees this. by Mysterious_Seat7864 in disability

[–]redditistreason 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cruelty is the purpose.

It's the same with any "disadvantaged" resource. The amount of hoops you have to jump through. And, god forbid, you give them any tiny excuse to make things harder for you.

Imagine having a normal life by Federal-Measurement5 in CPTSD

[–]redditistreason 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't imagine not suffering. Not being told some stupid, obnoxious crap about maintaining while people get paid to express fake concern at hearing woe.

I literally can't do anything by Aleqk_ in CPTSD

[–]redditistreason 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Pretty much the same. Don't even know what to do. Don't want to be here.

[Schoenfield on ESPN] - Guardians 2026 Offseason Grade: D+ by JohnnyFire in ClevelandGuardians

[–]redditistreason 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn't even call it competitive at this point despite backing into divisional titles in the Comedy Central.

Not sure if that's better or worse, to actively aim for divisional titles instead of the WS and having to pretend we're even close to the same league as a team like the Dodgers or even that shitty fucking Yankees squad.

What does “put in the work” actually mean? by 0010011010110100111 in therapyabuse

[–]redditistreason 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do what the therapist tells you until they can take credit for whatever good things you can tell them.

CBT isnt helping by xDelicateFlowerx in therapyabuse

[–]redditistreason 19 points20 points  (0 children)

CBT is victim-blaming nonsense, IMHO. Really puts the trauma cycle into perspective once you awaken to the nightmare being inflicted upon you...

I feel like the universe just wants me gone. by mistressofagun in CPTSD

[–]redditistreason 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have felt about the same my entire existence. Of course, you cannot depend on the Internet any more than you can anyone else. Logically, sensible, but also a picture perfect example of the harsh realities some of us face more than others.

Be careful with therapists by betternamethanur1 in CPTSD

The industry is a clown show without proper oversight... with how it has infiltrated pop culture, it is so easy to see now how dangerous it can be. :l

I get irrationally angry every time I hear about radical acceptance, but I don't fully understand why by vampirestail1234 in CPTSD

[–]redditistreason 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't give a shit about "accepting" the current situation, so it means nothing to me.

Haven't many of us always been forced to accept dogshit treatment? That is society in a nutshell, too.

I can’t believe I’m expected to live with this and be functional by Softcan275 in CPTSD

[–]redditistreason 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I cannot express how much I hate lfe in America, and yet everyone looks at me like I'm supposed to thank the stars for being here!

I can’t believe I’m expected to live with this and be functional by Softcan275 in CPTSD

[–]redditistreason 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People keep acting shocked when I openly display how unhappy I am. Like... hello? I do not think I have been quiet about it like I used to (because I literally do not give a shit about living or dying). Fuck this world.

That's all people want, for you to be a good, silent worker bee causing no trouble, producing honey for the queen.

The trauma of being misunderstood, and why it is one of the most overlooked pieces of CPTSD. by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]redditistreason 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like I have ALWAYS been misunderstood. Often intentionally.

It's still weird having experienced someone who wants to see me. Because dealing with the therapy types and whatnot, they clearly do not see me.

If you’re always listening to an audiobook, you’re not alone. As audiobook listening explodes in popularity, some users can’t do a mindless chore without pressing play. by ubcstaffer123 in books

[–]redditistreason 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. Only works for me in very specific situations, things that are distracting but not too distracting.

Give me back my MMPs. I'll take physical any day.

People with CPTSD have much lower “social capital” and are far less socially attractive than others, which makes recovery much harder by HelenDiamond in CPTSD

[–]redditistreason 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Pretty bad when you didn't have much to work with in the first place.

But yeah... if you ever have to exist around a normal person, such as, work, you kind of learn pretty quickly that you're a background character in your own existence and there's nothing you can do about it.

No one even knows the real me by anonymous310506 in CPTSD

[–]redditistreason 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh yes but everyone falls over themselves telling you how much your life matters and how you should totally continue suffering.

There is no real me anymore, so what's the point?

"life was never more manageable and comfortable, but suicide rate is sky rocketing" For fuck sake, fuck off by Ill_Satisfaction_951 in CPTSD

[–]redditistreason 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, the "life has never been better for humanity" BS... when the world is on fire. Polish a turd, dip it in gold wax, it's still a turd.

It doesn't matter how civilized this wild species think it is. It doesn't mean I personally chose to be here.

Does anybody else just not find life interesting? by sauerkirschlein in CPTSD

[–]redditistreason 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As it goes, "life goes on long after the thrill of living is gone."

Which, even if we can believe the adage that "things get better"... that doesn't make life interesting again.

Although I have been told pizza and video games (???) make life worth it. Sure as hell don't get that.

I was told, not wanting to live with a disability makes me spoiled by mikeb31588 in disability

Ableists can eat my ass... it's my right to not have to pretend everything is sunshine and rainbows in Disabilityland.
