Something’s not right

Cuddlebears Space

Cuddlebears Space

Hello everyone I’ve made a space here.

I’ve been having a really rough time. I have experienced a lot of trauma and abuse since childhood. I’ve been on forums for a while now and thought to start a thread so that my journey and anyone that cares to see how I’m going and offer support or advice can find me here.

I have complex ptsd, anxiety and severe depression with anhedonia. I’m currently tapering antidepressant and it’s been brutal.

I am really struggling everyday and can’t find ways to feel better. I’ve tried so many things.

I am having daily panic attacks, my body shutdown and I am so lonely with very little support. There’s a real heavy darkness around me I feel so unloved and worthless. I can’t do basic things like shower, eat, clean and going out is very very hard. I have no purpose or meaning though I try to create it but nothing works.

More recently I’ve experienced passive SI and sometimes more active. The tapering I believe has caused these symptoms. I’m safe.

Im finding it hard to write this all up. I hope it gives you some insight. @MissGremlin @AlwaysMyself@Chasingsunsets

I have never heard of the game Mexican train it sounds like such a great evening you all have together. It will be so interesting to hear some of the strategies that you can come up with at your next session with your psych around handling the mood dips and sensory overloads because you are really having some fun and good interactions. Thanks for also enlightening me on a new game I'd never heard about.

Hi @Tolly

Mexican trains is a type of dominos game.

its an adaption of the traditional domino game of matching number on tiles with a few different rules.

i play it in person twice a week plus play online against the computer.

there are variety of YouTube videos available that you might be interested in watching 🙂

hi @Flutterbug9

I will have a look online, thank you as it also brought back some lovely memories of watching my grandparents play traditional dominoes 😀 I will take a look at this Mexican train.

Re: Cuddlebears Space

Brief not @Cuddlebear, due to flow through of things that have happened on the forums I’m walking away from the forums, no idea when or even if I will be back.

things have slowly been building during the last xx weeks, and have left me feeling hurt, rejected and unwanted, in tears off and on since Friday. Things that have triggered me and ignited my fears of abandonment

Struggling to semi do anything. Can’t sleep, no appetite, spending days in tears. I can’t do this anymore. It’s time I walk away awhile, reassessing if I want to come back at some time in the distant future

Hi @Flutterbug9 I am so sorry to hear that it has really been challenging but I really also respect the way you are working through this and sometimes we have to walk away from something for a while, but I can also see how cared about you are here and always such a valued person and I am glad to see that @Cuddlebear is here and you can share your feelings and thoughts with them today about what has been going on for you. 😍

Re: Cuddlebears Space

@Flutterbug9 sorry to hear you've had some upset on the forums. I understand that feeling and respect your need to walk away. I've had the same feeling lately as well.

We haven't had a lot of interaction but I pray you find the best path for you and that you start to feel better soon.

Blessings

I’m a recently self assessed autistic with, from one assessment, “significant autistic traits (Autism)

My mind processes not being included as being excluded. Feeling of betrayal leads to confusion and leads to feelings of betrayal and associated extreme sadness.

Im trying to believe things were not done intentionally. Due to the number of times it happened, its being very challenging to do so.
