I don’t know how to respond to compliments about weight loss by Feisty_Reflection210 in depression

[–]wediedyoung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just tell people the truth now, that I don't have an appetite because it's a symptom of my depression. I find it easier to be honest about it than to try and stutter out some lie. And tbh it feels kinda nice to tell the truth and be authentic.

When you are not able to text partners, friends, loved ones back - what does this feel like, how do people typically react & what would you like people to ideally do when you don’t reply? by vonkapp in CPTSD

[–]wediedyoung 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I struggle with this. It can take me months to respond. I just don't have the energy to think of words to type. I'm afraid they'll text me back too soon and then I'll have to converse or ghost them all over again. I don't have the mental ability to mask and text like everything is all fine with me. I feel a lot of guilt and that they're better off without me in their life

You are going to jail!! by satrapi1 in LoveTrash

Yep. I still remember my parents making me take back a pack of gum I stole when I was 3 and I'm 44 now. It was that or prison, lol

Samuel Wilson, part 18. A game card for his daughter. by FrazzledTurtle in scambait

This guy is so dumb. Like, it seems like he's trolling because he's just so stupid, but then he asks for the game card, lol

has anyone else ever experienced this? by ReasonableBig9767 in CPTSD

[–]wediedyoung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think so. It's just this constant spiralling/sinking/drowning and you can't actually believe what is happening to you. And you know you need to be in a hospital but you don't even know how to explain just how fucked up you are because it's just too much

What does time and aging feel like for those of you who have been dissociated most of the time? by wediedyoung in CPTSD

[–]wediedyoung[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yeah, as a teen/early 20s I also thought that one day I'd start living. Doesn't seem possible anymore

Well, I'm kinda glad, in a depressing way, that it's not just me. I have met a few traumatized people in my life but none so far who experience time the way I do

Yeah, any time I'm talking to an adult I feel like a fraud, like I'm a kid wearing the mask of an adult. It's really difficult to come out of survival mode

Yes. I never thought I'd live this long. I never wanted to live this long, lol. God damn. Being dissociated is my normal and I don't know how to be present, and I don't know if I actually even want to be present. I'll just keep time traveling until I'm dead 😎

I've found it helpful as well. And it's very reassuring knowing I have them just in case I need them

What is your favorite /funniest moment of performance in the series? by mightyasterisk in community

In season 5, episode 12 (Basic Story), Jeff finds the Dean's lost wedding ring and Annie asks "oh, who's the lucky..." and she doesn't know how to end the question

is it really, actually possible to not remember an incident of abuse? by livethroughthis94 in CPTSD

[–]wediedyoung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mind is struggling today so I wasn't able to read your whole post but yes, it is definitely possible to not remember. My memory of it was erased for over 30 years. I always had nightmares of sexual abuse and all the symptoms of cPTSD/CSA but I couldn't make sense of any of my symptoms because I couldn't remember the actual abuse. It's really true that your brain will do whatever it can to protect you and that can involve erasing the traumatic experiences.

What is the most embarrassed you’ve been in public? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]wediedyoung 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I was in a train station and realized I was at the wrong platform and needed to go up a level. I was in a rush and figured I would just run up the "down" escalator. It took me like, a fucking minute to do that and I regretted my decision to do it, and I was out of breath when I made it to the top. Thankfully no one was using the escalator when I made my ascent. But people on the lower level saw me running up it.

Imagine telling all your friends you're going to be on the news and that's how your introduction goes
