Hi @Former-Member
I'm not entirely sure what you mean would it be ok to give us a bit more information? As i don't want to go off on a tangent that's not what you mean 😄 hehe

@Former-Member Hi trainwreck I have and am not for PTSD but my reactions to situations due to my Bipolar and schizoaffective disorder. What can you do though suck it up I suppose ...

Hi @Former-Member @Bunniekins

In my own experience. I have been called crazy and have had a lot of others mock me. I have also been told to commit suicide. When i haven't wanted to go out or said no to someone etc i have been abused. I have also been told i deserved it etc. Mostly through social media. I have been made of. It is very hard not to turn into a monster yourself when others are attacking nor not knowing what i am going through. I hide a lot of what i feel daily.

@Former-Member Trainwreck I am currently going through hell because of exactly the same thing rl and social media bullying... my behaviour can be bizzarre but I am working on it. I am taking my mediations and trying to be 'normal' but I have been treated like a social pariah at times so yes I know exactly what you are saying and I feel for you I truly do because there is such a misunderstanding about mental illnes in our society. It is considered scary and you are right about the monster bit. Touche with everything you have written. Thank you.

@Former-Member I take my medication and am a very strong woman with two dysfunctional children so I wont snap nor will I bend or break.

@Bunniekins I'm so sorry. My own can also be erratic. Feel for you too. I feel like most of the time i have no right to feel any of what i feel. I hate knowing others are walking on eggshells around me but i can't control it.
I hate being negative but i have only had negative. It is soooo hard. Most of the time i just want to scream do you honestly think i want to feel all these emotions and remember i would do anything not to feel or think of them.. The world is cruel

&greenpea you sound like a strong person. I feel like i am cracking more and more every day. I have removed myself from all social media sites

Re: Has anyone else suffered bullying from PTSD Trauma?

@Former-Member You are right there about the world being cruel ... it certainly is. If people were kinder and more understanding to each other it would be a better place for everyone. Some people just dont fit into the mold and they cannot help it. I am sorry you have been suffering too.

Trainwreck thanks for letting me say something I have been d ying to say for ages 🙂

Re: Has anyone else suffered bullying from PTSD Trauma?

@Former-Member. In the past family and friends used to get annoyed with me when I'd have to cancel a get together with them. Now they understand more of how my MI affects me - they aren't so cruel. But I feel terribly guilty some times because I know I've let them down.
I'm very restrictive with who I allow to be a friend on Facebook. If they aren't supportive - I block them.
I hate it when people assume I'm 100% 'fixed' because they saw me smiling.
Even though people who haven't experienced MI will never fully understand what we are going through on a daily basis. I appreciate it if they try to educate themselves.
I have enough self negative talk - that I don't need others talking down to me.
