I am screwed up.

I have PTSD nightmares and outbursts. I have no one. I never imagined my own strength. I pull myself out of it.

Not that this means anything and I make my way without support. Sometimes I just want to say, Hi, I exist.

Because when you're PTSD screwed up, people act like I'm doing this on purpose, for attention, they'll say anything to write me off and not have to deal with me 😂 and I don't blame them. But I assure I didn't ask for this, nobody does.

I understand how you feel about this. Having any type of mental illness is lonely and can feel like sometimes everyone doesn't notice the pain you are dealing with.

@Carebear412 I don't see any shame in the struggle. Because you're still going, even after the hardest days. They don't see your pain or your strength, they don't want to look at all lol
