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...

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.
