I can’t cope

I was great until my psychiatrist app. @Former-Member @tyme

Im not sure about the medication change. But I do trust her and that she has my best interests in mind.

She asked about some of my childhood. When I say it out loud it seems little but it has done so much damage.

Sometimes the little things can hurt the most.... like a papercut.

Sending hugs @Captain24 🤗

I was trying to make some connections on here. But it seems like a said the wrong thing. So I guess it’s easier to stay off social threads. Maybe I’m just being extra sensitive @Former-Member

I don't remember where or when I heard this, but what may seem small to some, is a mountain for others, and what may seem like a mountain to some is nothing to others @Captain24 .

We cannot judge what others are going through if that's what they are going through.

I have had a few terrible things happen lately in my offline world. When people hear about them, they are shocked, but for me, they haven't affected me too much. At first, I was waiting for the 'crash'...but it didn't come.

As for my childhood, I thought I had a very good and fortunate upbringing...however, in sharing my childhood with my therapists, I realised my childhood was not as 'normal' as I thought. If anything, it had done lasting damage and can I have been diagnosed with chronic PTSD. To me, the 'normal' wasn't so 'normal'....

So whatever you are going through and feeling is valid. They are your feelings and what you are going through. The important part is working with these feelings so you can function and thrive in society.

Hugs, tyme

Wow @tyme that was really powerful!

Thank you!

It actually lightened the weight a little.

I thought my childhood was ‘normal’ but as I got older and especially going through it all right now it has affected me. I find it more traumatic than my SA.

Sorry about you offline life but so glad you are handling it.

That is a lovely response @creative_writer and @tyme

@Captain24

@tyme is right. If it makes you feel any better @Captain24, I also find some of the little things the most painful and let the big stuff roll off my back a lot.

I think sometimes too we hold onto the smaller things because the big things are too big. The small things are enough to remember but not too big that it seems impossible that it has even happened.

It’s hard because I really need to work through it but I can’t until I’m stable. @Former-Member But I really don’t believe a mother should tell their child that they hate them and want to get rid of them and never see than again.
