WEIRD ptsd
Long story short, the "event" occurred right after I turned seven and I am not 41, almost 42.
Does anyone else have a "weird" PTSD situation that is like - so outside the norm and you just can't talk about it?
I used to talk about my childhood trauma and what happened all the time. I think that I thought that doing so would actually help. But as time went on, I realized how many people just sort of blinked at me and didn't know how to process what I'd just told them.
The reason? My ptsd situation is... odd... to say the least. And while it is related to something perverse in the 53x department ... I have basically stopped talking about it to people altogether.
My close family and friends know and we just no longer talk about it at all. But I still deal with it almost every day.
I think I finally made the decision to stop talking about it when I told someone who was great at things like this (I think it was a counselor?) who basically just looked at me like, "I got no ideas, man..."
This has led me to feeling soooo closed off and alone. Like there is no support group for this particular "thing" you know? and when I talk to other people with PTSD they have it for a different more obvious reason and no one can really relate.
Does anyone else have something like this and feel really lost?
