Suffering from several mental illnesses is literally hell on earth.

I told my aunt that my mom was very abusive and she said well your mom did go through a lot.
Like so?
There’s never a valid excuse for abuse. Never

[Ray-yyzi]

i hate how some people think that emotional abuse is not as serious as any other abuse.Sometimes it may hurt even more than physical abuse

I have CPTSD and never thought I was "traumatized enough" for what I went through to even be considered in that category for the longest time. I've gone through a dozen or so therapists/psychs and I feel like none truly grasp the depth and severity it holds over my life. They treat me like I just have "the blues" and never want me to talk about my past, only the present. I haven't been able to work a "regular" job for almost a decade. I think I have BPD or a dissociative disorder as well, but nobody other than my closest friends and family believe me. I was also just about to hit "cancel" on this comment because I assume no one cares but i'm just gonna hit submit now cuz f*ck it

EDIT: I'm so glad this comment I made from over a year ago is still helping people today! Since then, I've found an amazing therapist, been diagnosed with BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder) and am now going to weekly DBT (Dialectical Behavioural Therapy) classes as well as individual therapy, which is more trauma focused.
My therapist has been an absolute life saver, she has made me feel valid, seen, and heard, which is what I craved so badly as a child but never received. I can honestly say I am doing 200% better than I was when I wrote this comment. I hope someday you find someone to listen to you and validate your experiences. You ARE valid and your feelings matter. 💜

Does anyone feel like their trauma isn't valid enough?
I've gone through many events and my dad's an alcoholic.
I've had nightmares of my dad hurting my mom or me but I feel like that isn't valid compared to people who have gone through worse.

Edit: Thank you all for the support and comments, I read every single one and I've definitely feel better everytime I learn that another someone feels the same way I do. 💗

I hate how PTSD has affected my personality.
People just don't wanna be around me anymore and I'm so alone that it hurts.

There are many kinds of War.
Some are fought on the battlefield
and some are fought in the home.

As someone who suffers with extreme severe anxiety I can totally relate to her. I would stop eating for days at a time as a punishment. I worry a lot about my life, everyone around me and pleasing everyone. It's absolutely crippling, so glad she got the help she needed, lovely young lady it's so sad that society has 1 in 3 people suffering mental health issues. I hope everyone seeks help

Ptsd
From child abuse is hell
Having to be reminded of the certain family member makes you want to end it all

When I was little, around 5, my cousin and siblings began to sexually, physically and verbally abuse me. If I ever tried to fight back against them they'd beat me and then my cousin wohld essentially use me as a sex doll.
This went on till I was around 8 and the only reason it finally stopped is because we moved to a different state. Once we moved my parents began to fight and I was more of a daddys boy and took his side. My mother hated that and constantly got drunk of high and beat me. Many times I'd have marks on me and not change in front if peers because I didn't want people to worry about me.
Normally I tried to act like I was always happy but at one point my parents started fighting, dad left the house to calm down. Mother started hitting me and beat me till I blacked out. When I went to school the next day I was sent to the counscelors and told her everything that had been going on.
Now my parents are getting a proper divorce, me and my dsd moved back home and my cousin went to prison for child abuse along with other crimes. I was diagnosed with PTSD, Major Depression, and other conditions.
Right now I'm 14 going on 15 and a lot of it still heavily affects me in terms of flashbacks, insomnia, trouble with relatsionships, etc.
Going to therapy along with other methods really helps.

Anyone reading this comment, show this to another person who's been through things and let them know things do get better. You just have to keep pushing foward

PTSD isn’t just for war veterans, remember that

(I’ve read all the comments and I’m sorry for what everyone has gone through. It’s such a shame that people’s loved ones won’t understand all because those pp aren’t war vets)

[stephieg]

I was bullied my entire time in school. I had repressed the memories of that. The memories returned all at once due to a life event and gave me PTSD. I also have other mental illnesses as well as medical issues. Life is hard. Some people say that bullying just makes kids tougher but it really does affect people for their whole lives.

PTSD is literal hell on earth. Everyday is a struggle.

[alvashie]

It’s hard to open up when I keep getting the “it’s been 4 years just forget about it”

edit: I didn't know there would be much response from this... I was worried to read them all thinking I was getting hate from what I said. When I finally did read your comments... my heart felt warm...thank you... :)

My grandpa had ptsd. My grandpa was a navy ww2 veteran. I remember when i was 7, we were walking to the store and a plane flew over us. I remember looking at the plane in the sky, then i found my grandpa on the ground ducking and shaking. He passed away a while ago, but I’ll never forget that. R.I.P grandpa

Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.

[kestalami]

having ptsd for multiple reasons is awful. it's like everywhere you look there's a trigger no matter what and you're in a constant state of panic.

Edit as of 2022: I wanted to be completely honest and let y'all know my Borderline dx was replaced with a Dissociative Identity Disorder one (it can mimic as well as be comorbid with bipolar, bpd, aspd). I'm glad I could make you feel less alone in the interim <3


The fact they talked about the connection with childhood abuse, C-PTSD, and Borderline Personality Disorder made me feel validated. For once in my life I felt seen, thank you.
