What should you do if the idea of a relationship fills you with dread, panic and fear? I've never had healthy friendships or familial relationships

[katieg]

Omg I had no idea about the libido thing. Makes so much sense! I've seen so many doctors about this. Just another one of my longstanding issues explained by complex trauma. Amazing the mind body connection.

[amandadiamond]

I can barely sleep unnaturally at this point and I don't seem to dream, or I can't remember them. Prior to my the traumatic event, I was a very vivid dreamer and I could recall them fairly well.

I'm ashamed because of cptsd. My mood swings and dysregulation are a lot for my spouse. I can't have close relationships because I get triggered daily can't seem to see people but threats. I don't see the point in any of the trauma I went through and I don't see a future where I have close relationships. I've been in therapy for 6 years. It's not helping.

[JaynardManback]

Wow that was so helpful! So concise and simple to understand. Helped some of the stuck, younger parts of me to grasp what I've been trying (and my therapist) to tell myself for years. Can't wait to explore this channel!

[laurenbrogan]

This video feels so accurate. I feel seen and understood. Thank you!♥️

[silvy]

I'm so grateful for this video .
So, I don't have ptsd nor cptsd, thank you, thank you for this video Dr. Thank you! ❤️🌹

I feel like I have a longer list of mental health problems, which includes ADHD, BPD, cPTSD and more. I don't think I have regular PTSD symptoms. I think that an other mental health condition helped me to suppress it, so cPTSD being the extension of PTSD doesn't apply for me. I can also be in my hypersexual mood outside of a stressing environment.

[matthewberry]

Your content is so amazing! Would you mind doing a video letting us know how to find a doctor or practitioner that can help us in the way that you do? It’s so far not an easy task for me. Thank you so much for all that you do!!!

[baileymoran]

Oh god. These aren’t normal? I’m still trying to understand my diagnosis. I thought it was basically PTSD with more GAD symptoms. But I’m finding out just how different my experiences are than others. I really thought everyone was pessimistic, untrusting, unable to relax, and stressed all the time, and it never occurred to me that maybe some of my autoimmune issues are from stress when I have them outside if a flare up. I thought everyone had days where they cannot make their brain shut off so they can finish doing something, and shame was just a naturally easy to feel emotion. Insomnia is pretty natural and I don’t really have the low libido thing all the time. It goes back and forth with me and I never thought maybe that was mental health related.

Doc Snipes, this nailed me in every way.
I'm wondering if spending my 1st week alive in an incubator, I was born in August 1960 with sever yellow jaundice. My mom said it was 2 weeks before she could even hold me. Then at age 2 1/2-3, I was hit by a car while riding my tricycle. The neighbor completely ran over me while backing his station wagon out of his driveway. I was pulled out from under his car where I was pinned. Even though my head was bleeding, my mom never took me to a hospital.
The sexual trauma I experienced starting at age 4, until we moved 2 years later, however, was life altering in many ways because for starters ( this will sound crazy to most but oh well), I felt a huge sense of abandonment and believed it was my fault that we moved.
I learned much later in life that this "loss", (you don't know at the time of the abuse that that isn't "normal" and top that with the guilt that it can feel good even, as sick as that sounds. I know you understand this Doc Snipes.
I spent the next 10 years isolating in a rocking chair, back and forth, while putting on a smile for friends, family and teachers shoving those messy thoughts and feelings so far down I still struggle identifying what or who I am today.
The trauma was consistent and continued to the point...well let's just say my way of dealing was self harm and self destruct to the extreme.
I can't tell you why I survived. How is just a blur.
I believe my "attachment theory" was prophetic, along with a brain injury before age 3...is there any way to prove this with a scan?
Thank you.
Healing on my own alone.

A while ago, I had a major toothache, than I went to lay/ curl up in the bed. I felt like I deserved it, than I took a pain killer and it felt much better.
Before, I had long and unhealthy hair. Kind of suffered from it, than I used hair conditioner and it felt much better.
I can hardly convince to help myself. Sometimes I feel like someone else's life is worth more than mine and it's triggering when someone's behavior reminds me to my abuser.

Very informative, thank you Dr. Snipes. I've endured three years of bullying during my school years, pretty sure it was a brain changing experience

Dawn, your power color is purple. In other words, you look good in it and it suits you.

I would love to see a video touching on cpstd parenting. I have severe cpstd and my son calls me Murphy's Law. It's really put a strain on my relationship as well as parenting for 30 years by myself. Not to mention I love to Doom scroll it's weird it helps me feel safe if I know what's going on out there then I know how to protect myself in here. I believe it's better to be safe than sorry. Help. Oh not to mention I wanted to say safety is an absolute illusion.
