3 years out of the psych ward after spending 5 out of the 6 years before that in hospital. Are those 3 years hospital free because I’m better? Nope. I just don’t talk anymore. Every time I think about killing myself I imagine the horror of

(FYI none of what I’m about to say is aimed at the awesome Not The Void group that is spoken about on here - such a lifeline and they don’t operate like this) Something that really boils my piss is that so many groups are started by charities/

Petition to ban the following phrases:
“But you’re so strong”
“But they’re your parents”
“I’m ending the call, you’re not engaging”
“Why don’t you just leave the past in the past?”
In fact if you don’t have C-PTSD, DID, ‘BPD’ or any other complex trauma manifestation,don’t speak to me. I’m too tired

Her startling observations about chimpanzee behaviors revolutionized not only scientific understanding of the capabilities and inner lives of primates, but also long-held notions about what it means to be human. https://wapo.st/476clLO

I think EUPD as a construct represents all the disowned, projected parts of their own psyche, it is a receptacle for counter transference of their fears of inadequacy, being harmed, being shamed etc. If your patient is bad, you are always good in comparison.

If you are surviving, but only just, we're here.
If you are running out of motivation to go on, we're here.
If you need a confidential, non clinical, non judgmental community of people who are living with suicidal experiences, we are here; ready to share compassion and dark humour and solidarity.

Done a 60% job at cleaning my bathroom which is more than I’ve done in 6 months. Most of the rubbish is still on the floor and no attempt to vacuum or mop. Shower half cleaned. Feel horrific. I’ve been living in a skip and it makes me feel terrible.

Feel like absolute shit. I’m pretty sure I have diabetes. All the signs and feeling unwell. I’ve been showing signs of insulin resistance for years but GP refused to test. As someone with an eating disorder it’s impossible. Waiting for a GP appointment. Feel constantly ill and drained.

I honestly don’t know how many tears I have left after the last two weeks. I’m so tired of the constant struggles and pain and it’s just not worth it for me. I feel profoundly lonely all the time and it doesn’t get easier. I am in so much pain.

On on Sunday 7 September at 3pm, at the UK government is testing the emergency alert system. If you have a person in your life who:

• is confused by phones
• has issues with paranoia/noise sensitivity/ptsd
• has a secret phone stashed

Give them a heads up.

I’m taking a break. Catch you soon.

Another day where my supported living think that the bare minimum of a 20 second phone call once in 24 hours to check in breathing is optional. This place is for the most severe and complex needs and you have to have been under section 3 to even meet the criteria. Yet they don’t even do the basics

Still springing leaks from my eyeballs today. It doesn’t feel so much a loss that Andrea Gibson’s death is evoking but this uncontainable love and feeling moved by all they were and are

Absolutely heartbroken to hear of the death of Andrea Gibson. Their poetry was found in the depths of post traumatic despair, alone, at 3am, in my uni room aged 19. This poem would become a salve more

Tough day, week and month. In so much constant emotional pain. Physical health is farcical too and I’m taking various meds 4 times a day with nothing actually getting better. Exhausted. Absolutely dreading Friday as well. 6 weeks of kids and families everywhere.

Why is selling on Facebook marketplace the most stressful thing ever? I’m hugely dysregulated right now and in tears. People are so rude and so frustrating

#CPTSD isn’t just flashbacks.

It’s the bone-deep emptiness after years of surviving.

It’s feeling hollow where other people feel real.

It’s wondering if you even exist when no one is watching.

So ready to be home now. So mentally and physically fatigued. My chronic UTI is horrific. Can’t even sit down. Need water, meds and rest

Someone is knitting while standing up at the train station and I very much respect the vibe.
