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

Re: Cuddlebears Space

Hi @Cuddlebear, I find it easier coming straight here to chat with you. My only other option is posting on the one Alwaysmyself setup.

there have been things happen that I can’t go into fully. This is a Link to a website my psychologist gave me and gives some info about something I struggle with. there are things I’ve noticed that I find overstimulating. Tried to explain one and it didn’t end well. The reaction sent me into shutdown.

am wanting connections, at same time want to isolate. Don’t know if forums are right place for me. Don’t feel I belong anywhere. Recently at times I’ve felt like I’m being talked at, really unpleasant feeling.

I remember reading about you having seen a neurospecialist. I’m more than happy to listen if you feel you would like to share. 150% understand if prefer not to talk about outcome of the appointment.

Hi ya @Cuddlebear, sorry it’s been awhile re check in please know I’m always thinking of you. How are you doing? I hear things have been a bit rough. How are your animals going ? No sure if you would have seen by the time you see this msg Indi had a grass seed stuck under her third eyelid! It’s all out now and surprisingly her eye has always looked good which is why it took so long for me to notice and it was so buried- I do feel bad though 🙈.
Was taking Indi out to the loo I saw a frog on the window and thought out you 🐸 infact this frog pic may do the rounds on a couple of pages hehe

looking forward to connecting and sorry again it’s been so long my end 💛


ps let me know where is better to connect with you here or somewhere else on the forum ☀️

@Flutterbug9 Hello my friend how are you? Thank you for posting here. It’s a space I can find peoples messages to me much easier. I’m also always happy to be tagged on anything you’d like me to see over at @AlwaysMyself

I just read the link you shared with me. Thank you for sharing it and trusting me enough to open up. I know the feelings of being and/or feeling rejected or not fitting in. It can really send us into shutdown coupled with anxiety/panic. I can’t stress enough that you do belong here. To me you are a part of my forum family. I actually always love hearing from you. You’ve made the forums a better place and are a very kind and generous person.

Yes I saw a neuro specialist who said I have some kind of brain damage. Signals from brain to body are not working properly. They suspect it’s from lack of oxygen and blood supply due to peripheral artery disease. More tests are needed and I’m waiting for an appointment to be made by public system. It’s really just the last thing I need right now.

Im still unwell with no improvement. I’m not able to do anything and my nervous system is shutdown. I have constant panic attacks and anxiety all day. They don’t stop. Still feeling no joy at all and I’m isolated. I can’t even go into shops or engage socially at all as I’ve developed agoraphobia. Everything has taken a big toll. I have very negative thoughts about myself and feel unloved. I don’t feel like a part of anything. The fear and dread are my daily existence.

Re: Cuddlebears Space

Thank you @Cuddlebear. I did tag you in my thread when things started working again and wasn’t sure whether you wanted to or not.

I’ve been try really hard today. I’ve had a shower, walked the dogs, sat in the sun and finally cleaned my disgusting kitchen which hasn’t been done in over a week. I’m not feeling good in myself though but it is what it is.

Do you want to talk about how you are feeling?

Im here to listen if you do.
