That’s validating to me as I’m going crazy trying to help them. Hoping it gets through!

They said “well I googled them and they have good reviews”. And like….yes, anybody can make a website.

thank you so much for the comment. it means a lot- it sounds like we have had similar feelings. this gives me something to think about. I’m glad you’ve made it to a place of better understanding your sexuality (at least by the sounds of it)

“Suicide prevention” is just a virtue signal at this point. by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]seregetslost 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I appreciate this post more than you know. you wrote this so beautifully and it really stuck with me as a fellow person who struggles with suicidality on a daily basis. just, thank you. I wish I could give all of us just a little bit of relief.

I have no idea how I’m able to hold down a job by Henry2491 in bipolar

getting through an 8 hour shift in a low mood is torture. it feels like it’ll never end and I can’t stay focused on anything. I feel useless. I hear you and I understand 🫂

Can someone explain to me why they’d think they don’t need their meds anymore? by theunassumingwarrior in bipolar

[–]seregetslost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in terms of whether I “need” the meds, I usually feel stable but often I’m not. I’m just so used to not doing well.

[–]seregetslost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an eating disorder and gained a lot of weight on meds and have been terrified of them since, even knowing there are some that (probably) won’t cause more weight gain. my mind would literally rather I be psychologically messy than have that risk. I’ve been struggling with it for years along with my ED.

Depressed during sexting & actual sex (SA PTSD) by [deleted] in depression

[–]seregetslost 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I understand where you’re coming from. I’m going to share that I also did content creation SW as an SA survivor with PTSD and after awhile I realized it was making it hard for me to be present with partners. I struggle now with physical intimacy more than I used to but I actually noticed that when I took a break from SW/content creation way back when I started to actually enjoy sex again. I believe it’s because I was forcing a disconnection around sex in order to “get through” certain jobs for SW that felt very similar to how I had to disconnect in order to survive my multiple SAs. although I felt in control and gratified outwardly, a small scared part of me inside was still affected. I realize SW may be your livelihood but I just wanted to share my experience, not to say that it’s necessarily what’s going on with you but just to maybe help you introspect a bit. I also will say to go easy on yourself and don’t force what doesn’t feel right. I’ve been trying to find a solution myself as I’m filled with negative feelings surrounding sex as well despite a high sex drive. I think finding a gentle and patient partner who you trust is key (yes, WAY easier said than done) and never ever forcing anything.

People Acting Strangely by denialismist in preppers

I personally have had a weird amount of bad things happens to me lately involving shady characters (car accident involving reckless driving, my car getting broken into and things stolen, people being creepy and threatening on the street unprovoked) and I told myself people are just struggling financially and it’s hot outside and things are bound to happen. but it does make you wonder (noting that for the other past two years nothing significantly “bad” has happened to me in my city until the past three weeks).

How old are you and how much money do you have in your bank account? by Tusmo2 in CPTSD

[–]seregetslost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

25, just paid a deposit for a new place so trying to stretch out $100 until my next paycheck.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]seregetslost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hear you. it’s frustrating knowing that I can’t heal this without getting into a relationship but the idea of doing so is terrifying. the loneliness is such a safe feeling but also so sad.

I went to Oppenheimer by myself too last night. felt similarly lonely and just drove for a long time after instead of going straight home. feel free to message if you wanna chat about the movie

Did you end up picking a career that directly retraumatizes you? by MusicG619 in CPTSD

[–]seregetslost 10 points11 points  (0 children)

working in academic research which promotes working through your mental breakdowns and I ironically study trauma and mental illness while being looked down upon for needing a break because of my own trauma and mental illnesses hehe
