I Am Suffering From A PTSD by Roboclopp: 8:22pm On Jan 09, 2023 |
Something happened to me that till this day, the memory holds me. Basically, I was wrongly accused and humiliated in public even though I was trying to speak for myself. Ever since then, I’ve been quite distant from everyone around me. People think I am snubbish, etc but the truth I realise is that the trauma just keeps coming everytime. I can’t shake it off. Also it is so bad I just don’t know who to trust to open up about it. But i still feel it. I wish i could really explain this to someone, but trauma is real. Honestly, I can’t find a reason to still be alive because the incident around the situation broke me completely. I ve managed to crawl myself slightly away from it, but honestly, every now and then i still feel this heavy weight on my chest that I have to pull out . I can’t explain it, but I wish this never happened Any advice 3 Likes |

So I was watching Bill Burr special last week (Paper Tiger). The guy is a great comedian. He talked about how he was sexually assaulted by a lady. The lady grabbed his crotch unprovoked. It messed up his mind just like it did yours. His own solution was meditating and forgiving the said lady. So, try to put yourself into their shoes, practice meditation and forgive them. You could go for therapy if you have the time and money or just talk to someone close in your life about it. Or you could just take your revenge if you could. 1 Like |

Bro, we share certain similarities; 1. I also don't trust people even my family members. 2. People also think I am snubbish. I honestly dont care what any Nigerian thinks of me. 3. I have been depressed in the past and suicidal but I thank God I didn't follow that route. Just be patient you will find peace and happiness soon. If I can find it then you most certainly can. Shalom. 1 Like |

Karleb: Talking to someone, hmnn one thing that troubles me is how i tried to open up to a friend, but then he quickly dismissed it. I think thats why i can’t talk about it again because when the closest person to you dismisses stuff like this, mehn it can be hard. Bro, tbh, someone even accused me of being stuck up not knowing I am being triggered in the moment and that is my best response. Hard to deal with this man. 1 Like |

Roboclopp: I understand man. But you can't continue to live like this. The people who hurt you have probably forgotten they hurt you, while you are still going around with something that probably happened years ago. You are the loser in this case. There was a time something was really bordering me. You know what I did, I spoke to a man that help me photocopy my documents and it helped. You could talk to anyone, even a stranger. Just start with "Can I discuss something that has been bordering me for a while ?" or something like that and in case it's a girl, let her know it's not about love. 1 Like |

Roboclopp: Well, I learnt to accept the fact that we all will be alone in the end and friends will be lost as everyone have their own plans/dreams that takes them away. I associate with co workers tho and relate well with my clients. I also changed alot of my lifestyle. I became more introvert , read more widely which made me have inner peace. 1 Like |

Roboclopp: You are actually sinking into depression and you are not even making any plans to come out if it Becareful before you kill yourself because no body believed you when you said the truth If you die, no one will feel your departure So unchain yourself from the shackles and relocate to where you can start another life |

Roboclopp: I can relate to the bolded. most people don't believe PTSD is real until real trauma hits. Most times the only quick way out is immediate vengeance, trying to talk about it to get help makes people think you're telling a long repeated story. I've been in your shoes for a long time, but I'm getting better inch by inch with each passing year. yes PTSD doesn't go away quickly and it can completely change everything about you. I'd recommend you stop expecting help from the outside because most people won't even believe you have a problem, because to them you appear better outwards. my suggestion is you start by searching inwards and experiment with a lot of things to find what makes you feel better. In my case, I found occasional traveling to new locations does the trick for me. I pray you never lack the fortitude to battle it out of your life. 1 Like |

Have being before. Just like someone said, forgive them from the depth of your heart. If you need to relocate please do, it will help you forget. Do the things you enjoy doing. Speak positively to yourself, dress well ,eat well and carry yourself confidently. Shun anyone who brings up the issue. It may not be easy but you will be fine. Good luck! |
Re: I Am Suffering From A PTSD by Roboclopp: 9:55am On Jan 10, 2023 |
How do you handle when it looks like you are completely avoiding someone almost disrespectfully when actually you are just trying to avoid the triggers you will get when they come around, especially when you are not confident enough to handle the triggers? |
Re: I Am Suffering From A PTSD by Richy4(m): 10:44am On Jan 10, 2023 |
Roboclopp: I'm just curious... What do you mean by trigger?.. Do you become violent for no reason when people comes close to proximity? or do you just cry? How does it happen do you have an idea? |
Re: I Am Suffering From A PTSD by Roboclopp: 11:00am On Jan 10, 2023 |
Richy4: I freeze, blank out and have nothing to say. Sometimes I quickly fill the suspense with meaningless words when I notice. It is annoying because i sometimes give the wrong response to questions because somewhere in my mind, responding to certain questions, being in certain places just brings memories I’ve tried to bury away. So I notice i may be evasive |
Re: I Am Suffering From A PTSD by Richy4(m): 11:08am On Jan 10, 2023 |
Roboclopp:Ok, that's the more reason why you should talk to a therapist... I'm just wondering now how you can cope with a panel interview.. incase you wanna advance career wise.. Please do so now before it becomes major.. |
