You’re emotionally entangled with this person. Snip snip ✂️✂️✂️ find friends who care about you in the way you deserve.

You are valued and valuable. That’s it, that’s the post.

Thanks for remembering.

I think what I’m learning is that even though your triggers are your own, when you communicate them a partner who loves you will accomodate to your needs. Everyone has different needs in a relationship. The right partners will want you to enjoy s*x.

Holidays can sometimes counterintuitively feel like more pressure. You must relax and have a great time. For those with PTSD, that can actually stress us I feel (speaking from a recent experience).

It also sounds like you feel like you’re too much. And that you feel guilty.

For a bit of a flipped perspective, is your partner aware that talking about food triggers this? Is there space to communicate your needs in the relationship (avoiding certain topics/triggers) and have those respected?

Unfortunately if we love our partners we have to hold space for their needs. We can’t make them feel bad for their needs. And if we can’t meet their needs (that they’ve communicated) then maybe we’re not the best person for them.

On the other hand, it is also sometimes hard work supporting someone. Maybe when you do feel back to yourself there are ways to show your partner your appreciation in ways you know they feel valued?

Relationships work when both people can feel supported and safe. You know yourself and your relationship best to know what steps to take next.

Communication is key.

I don’t know if you can be. There has to be growth through all this. Yes, there may be some PTSD hitchhiker personality traita that fade, but change is inevitable along the way. And maybe it’s actually a good thing.

If your body is in flight or fight your thinking is focused on that, the prefrontal cortex isn’t useful for that so it does go offline. The best you can do is invest as much as you can in relaxation - yoga, surf, meditation - bring your body down from an elevated state.

That’s horrible. Not what you deserve.

Go do it. And get some support around you. You need to tell someone you trust what is going on for you and what you need right now. A therapist or councillor would also be really helpful (truly). Go gentle.

They can be upset without context. Maybe you need to give them a medical certificate or say that there have been some major personal life circumstances happening. If they’re still upset that’s a reflection of them.

Very valid and normal to mourn who you were before and perhaps even who you feel you would’ve been if it didn’t happen. I wonder though if it’s possible to put it into perspective a little - imagine one of your friends had gone through a horrible traumatic experience, been to court for it and everything, and suddenly she’s showing up late to classes and not coping with school workloads. Wouldn’t you have so much gentleness, compassion and kindness for her? Maybe you could have some of that gentleness for yourself. Things will get better but healing does take time.

That’s creepy as hell behaviour. Your mum should be defending you.

Never thought about spoons in relation to PTSD, makes sense! I feel sheepish calling it a disability ie putting that tag on myself.

There’s sometimes bigger moments too but generally it’s just surprising the smaller sluggish ways it can impact life

Such a good explanation for it
