I hate that this has been taken away from me. I'm not even sure why I'm here. I know no one and yet am afraid of those I do. This is crazy right? I used to Trust or so I thought. Things are really screwed up. According to all my doctors I've had trauma all my life and yet was able to not only cope but become successful in all my endeavors. Now, I'm merely the shell with nothing good in me but distrust and paranoia.
I need to know if this is a secure place for me to talk and that someone is listening and not just patting me on the ehad. I'm even afraid to speak my mind on the computer for fear that others ( not at this site) are viewing everything I do. Can someone please make me feel safe so I can reach out. Skitz101 |

Skitz.....I am so sorry you are feeling this way. It is very hard not to be able to trust. Part of what you said sounds ohhhh so familiar. Sometimes we fake it so long our feelings finally come to a head. I have been here a short time and already have opened up more than ever thought possible. In some way it eases things for me many times. Most of the people here are wonderful. Just maybe post and read threads for awhile...maybe even enter chat. You don't have to talk if you don't want to. Observe for awhile until you feel comfortable. Feel free to PM me anytime.

Hello and Welcome skitz 101,
i have found this to be a great site to find out information, give and get support and learn form others experiences - it has helped me a lot to know that others are feeling the same as I do and that in that I am not alone - I hope you find this to be an equally great place for you

Skitz101.....
I can understand what you are saying VERY well!!  I am pretty new here too....and I have severe trust issues. I have found this site to be very supportive and educational in the fact that PC in general has a lot of good info on it's site, and I have learned a lot about me through reading others posts. The most important thing I have learned about myself so far is that I'm not alone!! You ARE safe posting here, and as you become more comfortable, I hope to be hearing more from you!! Take your time, hang out for a while and jump in when and where you're ready!!

People earn our trust and that is what happened with me...I found that I did indeed start to trust this community. Most of us have been where you are, afraid yet needing to share and get rid of some of our pain. It took courage for you to post, and I applaud your honesty. You are safe here, share what you are comfortable sharing, read other posts--you don't have to reply, but perhaps you'll identify with the poster or learn something that will help you in some way. Same thing with chat... Do what you are comfortable doing or not doing...no one is going to rush you or push you to do anything. Welcome to this corner of the world where it's ok to be yourself. Peace and Power, Cap

I now get sweaty palms just doing a simple task like taking my twins to school...If you need to talk to someone who is dealing with the same issues, feel free to read my bio & my introduction I made here on April 1st I told part of my story there. That may make you feel more comfortable that I'm lagit...I know that's in the back of your head. I have a hell of a time determining where educated caution & justified mistrust ends & full blown paranoia begins right now... I functioned fine for many years because while I didn't trust others, I trusted myself...when I lost that I completely came unglued I'm here if you need to talk about your story & how you are or are not coping. I cried for the 1st time I can remember in October & subsequently cried like a baby most of the winter... It feels good in someways to be able to feel & not be numb, but the down side is my general coping skills are no where near as effective. |

I can't trust either, how do we get that back??? I always feel like everyone has motive. I take it as it comes and try my best to do the right thing, but sometimes I wonder at how paranoid I am and ahow to manage that at times. I always feel that people are looking at me and I can't figure out why... I try not to get caught up in it but sometimes it affects me to the point where I really have to stay in and not go out! It is difficult feeling that everyone is out to hurt you in some way....I'm not sure how to get past that!

TJ, we can usually find evidence to confirm whatever our beliefs are. If a person feels that people have bad motives they will find evidence to confirm this. If a person believes that people are generally good they will find evidence to confirm this also.

I know that you are right, evidence usually supports what I feel but then I think to myself what a crappy world that we live in when people are just constantly doing things to hurt you. I try to separate myself from that and sometimes I am successful, other times it takes ME DOWN! Best Wishes, TJ

TJ, with your family you are thinking correctly! Maybe search out some kind people to add to your life? I know you have a really good friend! Right now the balance in your life leans toward the meaner people but there are good people out there too!

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
