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

@unbannable7551

Try easing yourself into it, try talking to someone every now and again. And this is going to sound bad, but you should feel *some* hesitation as a lot of people will just want to use you, but some people will and do genuinely care for you. And it’s not fair to yourself or them to push them away out of fear. So try to reach out and see who wants to talk and spend time with you. And if after a while they still want to talk or hang out, they’re likely a good friend 💙

Thank you. You're not alone. I've been stuck there for my entire life it seems. I'm accepting that I'm better off alone as opposed to dragging another down this crazy rabbit hole. I'm slowly realizing that I am enough and I'm ok alone. I'm stronger than I thought I was. I can care for myself first. I don't need to disassociate or numb out. The biggest thing I deal with daily is fear of literally everything. I can't even explain that myself but it's real. God bless you.

I'm in a 5yr relationship and the last 2yrs has been hell for me until last night and this morning after a (what I now understand) as a ADHD/C-PTSD meltdown. It was building up. It impacted my partner and now I'm in relationship recovery mode. I have learned what's happened, why and can now apologise to my partner genuinely and share what I now know.

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.

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 as well it's very unfamiliar to me not to dream . Something is amiss .ty for opening up we need to find out why we are having this change in a life long friend/enemy hand in hand to nothingness, its empty . I got a glimpse the other night of white sand everywhere. But that's it...very curious.

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.

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.

I can also be in my hypersexual mood outside of a stressing environment.

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.

C-PTSD is not currently in the DSM 5, is it? A psychiatrist might just misdiagnose based on the fact that it's not in the book. I thought for a bit I had avoidant personality disorder, because there's a lot of overlap with C-PTSD symptoms. Many people with C-PTSD have executive function issues, which really does a number on your self esteem.

They keep their running shoes besides their souls every night, one eye open in case things change whilst they sleep. Their backs are always tense as though waiting to fight a sudden storm that might engulf them. Because damaged people have already seen hell.

Coping with ongoing trauma, especially when it's contributing to conditions like cPTSD, can be incredibly challenging. It's crucial to address both the symptoms you're experiencing and the causes of those symptoms. Until you feel safe both physically and emotionally, symptoms are likely to persist.
Here are some strategies that might help you manage the situation: 1. Safety First: Your immediate safety is paramount. If possible, take steps to reduce exposure to the traumatic situation or seek help to do so. 2. Support System: Lean on a support system of friends, family, or a therapist who can provide emotional support and practical advice. 3. Self-Care: Engage in self-care practices that promote physical and emotional well-being, such as exercise, adequate sleep, and healthy eating. 4. Mindfulness and Grounding Techniques: These can help you stay present and reduce feelings of anxiety or panic. 5. Professional Help: A therapist trained in trauma can offer specific strategies to help you cope with your symptoms and work on healing, even while the trauma is ongoing. 6. Challenge Perspective: Try to view the situation as a challenge to overcome rather than an insurmountable barrier, and explore ways to navigate through it. * It's important to recognize that emotional dysregulation is a common response to trauma and not a reflection of being "overly emotional." Understanding that your reactions are part of a stress response can help you be more compassionate towards yourself.
If you're in a situation where the trauma is ongoing and unavoidable, such as a job you can't immediately leave or a home environment you can't change, consider what steps you can take to minimize the impact. This might include setting boundaries, seeking legal assistance, or finding ways to emotionally detach from the source of trauma until you can make a change.
Remember, it's not just about enduring the situation but finding ways to emerge successfully. Developing trauma resiliency can assist in preventing PTSD and breaking the cycle of intergenerational trauma. You can ask my AI to learn more on that and more easily find information in the video library allceus.com/AskDocSnipes

Thank you for watching the video. Yes, it is possible for a young person, such as a 15-17 year old, to develop Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD) from being a caregiver to their ill parents. This is because C-PTSD can occur when a person, especially a child or adolescent, is exposed to extremely threatening or horrific situations with no hope of escape. Being a caregiver at a young age can be a highly stressful and demanding experience. The young person may feel trapped in their situation, with no hope of escape. Being a caregiver at a young age can be a highly stressful and demanding experience. The young person may feel trapped in their situation, with no escape from the responsibilities and pressures of caregiving. This can lead to feelings of helplessness and fear, which are key factors in the development of C-PTSD. Furthermore, if the young caregiver's basic needs, such as food or shelter, are not being met because they are focused on caring for their ill parents, this can also contribute to the development of C-PTSD. The constant state of fear and hypervigilance, coupled with the potential neglect of their own needs, can lead to a state of chronic stress and trauma. Symptoms of C-PTSD may include avoiding reminders of their caregiving experiences, re-experiencing traumatic events through flashbacks and nightmares, being constantly on guard, having extreme mood swings, low self-esteem, and difficulty trusting others. However, it's important to note that not all young caregivers will develop C-PTSD. The presence of supportive figures, such as other family members or professional support services, can help mitigate the risk. If you or someone you know is in this situation and exhibiting symptoms of C-PTSD, it's important to seek professional help. Treatment is available, and recovery is possible.
