Struggling with the world

Struggling with the world

Hi everyone, I have CPTSD and have been struggling lately with the news and social media surrounding SA, triggering me. I am socially isolated and most people that know me are unaware of my history.

I have been getting very angry at the injustice and violence going on everyday and it all feels too much.

I don’t have anyone to talk to about this stuff except my Psychologist but I feel like I need people who “get it” to talk to so I don’t explode.

Is anyone else struggling like me.

Welcome to the forum @fearItself, it’s nice to meet you here 😊. There is some awesome forum members around too. I know this a bit off topic but I was wondering what you enjoy doing? I love going for walks with my dog 🐶

Hi,

I understand how you feel. I am quite socially isolated, I have a fear of meeting new people and getting hurt or my mental health being in the way. I don't speak to anyone besides my psychologist about things.

Not sure if it’s the same thing but when I’m out and about I do get anxiety especially when there is a lot of people around and I have trust issues. The world for me as well can be too much at times

I realised the other day that I haven’t done anything for myself in a very long time. I brought some adult colouring book which I’m starting to enjoy and

I love my animals.

Sadly there are too many that use others to get what they want.

With SA, I find it utterly disgusting and no need for it at all. To get your "rocks off" at someone else's expense turns my stomach. Feel your pain and triggers my anger toward it. Feel for anyone who has experienced it and wish I could take their pain in some way.

Chat away all you like, lot of good eggs here in the forums

Injustice and violence gets clicks, it's a psychological marketing tactic. It's all about $$ and disinformation, not informing people. As a result, balance is lost - you see concentrated badness and not the majority goodness in the world.

I try not to play along and am very selective about my information feeds.

Hi@fearItself

Sorry to hear that you are going through this. I too have struggled with this when I was first diagnosed with Cptsd in April this year. I recommend for the time been to avoid watching any news or social media until your body starts to feel safe again. This can take many months. It's very normal to feel angry or rage at injustices in the world because we know better we have empathy but there are sick people out there that should have never been born to walk this earth.
