PTSD Support and Recovery

I’ve done different kinds of therapy in the past- but I’ve been hearing more about somatic therapy. As someone with a very heavy trauma background, I think it could be of help if done right. Has anyone done this type of therapy and if so what are your experiences with it? #PTSD #PTSDSupportAndRecovery

I don't know what to do. I've worked so hard to heal myself of 20+ years of trauma and now I am being asked to stop taking my medication for 60 days in order to keep my job. #help #Singlemom #Depression #Anxiety #PTSDSupportAndRecovery

No matter what I have to give myself a chance. Instead of killing the seed underground due to fear of others, I owe myself to nurture , put in efforts and Give myself an honest chance to allow the seed of my dreams to atleast grow. If it blossoms..that is awesome, if not at least I gave myself a whole-hearted effort.

I hate it when people say " you had to face so and so person and look it has made you stronger and better."

No.. toxic abusers took away my joy, made me doubt myself, slowly erased my personality, took away my confidence and self-esteem. It was me who chose to not give up, to endure, to show up in any way I could, to watch vedios which healed me.

It was my efforts which made me stronger. It was holding on to drop of faith despite no hope which made me stronger. It was Faith and endurance which is making me a better and stronger person.

The abuser/toxic person doesn't get to take credit.

I was a happy-go-lucky person , but having all my ways of being nitpicking and shamed by my sister and mother I started to slowly stop doing things my way and worse they never even showed me the right way to do anything. It wasn't just criticism it was shaming and labeling.

Years now I have internalized their voices and have lost my sense of self completely.

Everytime I want to do something I talk myself out of it. It is like my body or mind remembers their harassment everytime I did anything and they'd pounce on me verbally and emotionally.

I managed to get some years of separation between us and thought I am getting back in control of my life, but life had other plans. I am back to staying with them again and the things I felt I had outgrown has come back full force.

How does one stop Hiding and Start Living despite being surrounded by human snakes?

I have been diagnosed with BPD. I always suspected that I had it. I would tell my friends, my family members, and other close people to me.
No one believed that I had it. They said “you don’t look like an angry person” “you don’t look like you get angry. You look very nice”
Okay and?
What is a person with anger issues supposed to look like to you?
Ever since I officially got diagnosed I’ve spiraled a lot. Wondered if it’s even worth trying to “treat it” bc I read about it and this one page, well many pages said that its untreatable, that it won’t ever go away. That it stays with you for life. But you know what? I’m tired of having BPD. I’m tired of my psychological analysis. I’m tired of living “with BPD” maybe it’s real, maybe it’s not. Maybe it’s all made up. Or maybe it is real. Maybe is 100% real.

But I’m trying my best to make the choice for it to not affect me so badly no more.

Idk what I’m doing in life. I hate that i was brought into this horrible world as I’ve said many times to myself. But truth is I’m just scared. I’m scared of this world. I’m scared of people. I’m scared of dying. I’m scared for what comes after. I’m scared for what my life will be like in the next few months. I’m not struggling as much as I was just a week ago, or just a few days ago. But the thoughts haven’t left my head at all. The thoughts still and will stay temporarily.

But soon one day these thoughts won’t seem so scary anymore. And it looks like those days are getting closer, and I’m even more scared of what’s to come for me in my life. But at the same time I’m excited. But still so scared. I can’t believe some of the things I’ve heard people say, and their feelings, and the way they approach things and treat other people, even treat themselves.

When your heart races, your mind spirals, and your body trembles, it feels as if you’re battling a storm from within.

I know — anxiety is not a choice. I didn’t choose to live with panic attacks, sleepless nights, or overwhelming worries.

But I’ve learned something along the way: Anxiety is not a weakness. I’m learning to live with it — step by step — while growing kinder to myself, asking for help, and looking for support.

This is what I want to share with you:

✅ You are not alone.

✅ What you’re feeling is real, human, and completely valid.

✅ Don’t be afraid to reach out for help — from family, friends, a therapist, or a support group.

✅ Slowly but surely, there’s light at the end of the tunnel.

✨ If you’re struggling with anxiety, share your story, support each other, and be a light for someone in need. 🌟#PTSDSupportAndRecovery #Anxiety #HidradenitisSuppurativa #MentalHealth
