If you have had PTSD, chronic anxiety etc...

For years and years, so that you almost feel your identity is That itself.... do you ever wonder, what if I AM not as capable as others (b/c of SO many years of trauma or anxiety etc.) ? What if I'm really NOT a good candidate for love or dating b/c of these severe issues? I'm not saying it's true, but it's how i feel and I wonder if anyone else feels that sometimes...

It is good to worry about how it will influence other people. It is responsible. But it is up to other people to decide if they wish to be in your life regardless, not up to you.

I have been lucky. I have good friends and in good relationship. Do you have problems? Yes, but I am still loved, supported and helped as I work through them.

It will be alright with the right person.

Honestly I work through my psychological issues because I truly believe I can, and my relationship went from about the worst you can imagine to really good, I learned to control panic attacks to a point I no longer get them, and now I'm working on controlling compulsive thoughts and hypocondria and I'm getting better. It takes a lot of honesty in my experience, and hypocondria specifically, for me, takes the ability to lose self-important feelings, in order to treat it.

Of course you would feel like that if you had serious form of PTSD.

It does affect your ability to form relationships and maintain them. It is not easy. PTSD isn't just fear and grief..etc

It is rage, unresolved. You have anger issues and emotional regulation challenges. And it will affect those close to you. It is scary and terrifying.

Anxiety is easier in a relationship.

Narc abuse. You've been gaslit beyond human comprehension.

You're as worthy as anyone. Your nervous system has been compromised by the garbage they spewed all those years.

That's not your fault.

@uncalled4 I might be worthy in reality, but some I'm afraid would not see me as a strong pick for a partner. But I really appreciate your words 🌼

I was more like, "just wait and I'll show them all one day"
