I'm new here!

Hi, my name is slightlyNsane. I'm here because I am a childhood trauma survivor with a brain that regularly retraumatizes me when I sleep. Went into burn out about 8 years ago and am now struggling to do anything beyond my job.

When you’re really struggling, taking a shower can be overwhelming! We’ve all been there! #MightyTogether #Depression #Anxiety #CPTSD

When I’m in the depths of my illness I stop bathing. The Mighty is the only place I feel safe admitting this. But it is a reality of my illness. It’s hard for me to admit, but I want to share my experience so that others with the same challenge don’t feel alone. If you feel like sharing, let us know if you too find showering/bathing overwhelming. Your story might help others feel less alone. Thanks!

My heart hurts#amv #CPTSD

To find out again, that my body knew, is another, wake the fudge up https://call.And leaves the real, hard questions out there,to be https://discussed.I do need supportive people around me,that can advocate, attend appointments and follow through with the appointments,that I forget, am scared to attend or not aware https://of.I am all over the place when creating,multiple things at a time but emotionally, with others, Im too sensitive when the balance is https://off.I am not allowed to express it here, it bottles up and https://explodes.I see the days leading up, Im ignored,I ask, Im ignored, I ask, Im https://ignored.Here we are a year on a half https://later.I knew and kept going in circles, scared to death to go https://back.And as soon as I did go back, it was https://questioned.I was asked why I didn't do someone else's job again. All medical gaslighting, it is still, https://happening.I need real care and psych management when things like my numbers, going off the https://chart.My health, went plop again but I can only,repair as much as it let's me. Repressing and ignoring, hurts your body ten times more than acknowledging someone elses wrongs, any day.

Called out#CPTSD

I know I am lovable and https://loving.I know I can show up,be strong and https://trustworthy.I chose, to confide in people, I should not have confided https://in.Instead of them, appreciating me, opening up the bare truth,being vulnerable, they used it to hurt me, exploit me, mock and fabricate lies, tar and feathered https://publicly.And then, turn and say It never https://happened.As if Im that disposable.

Am I to accept the delusion, Ive been assigned?
Do I pretend, with everyone else?
Do I accept my role and say it didn't happen?
Planned chaos and drama wasnt enough, had to hurt them too? Involved my kid, my family, my pets, for sport, a bet, a good laugh.

You win.
