I thought I would post here, cause I do need some cheering up and kind, positive words. So I told a therapist before that I felt like I "Wasn't there" or "Don't exist" and she said it was dissociation from my PTSD. Something your body uses to protect itself..? I think she also said. I've been feeling like I've been fading a lot in the past couple of days though and sometimes I just don't know what to do. I've actually had a full on panic attack over it before and I still get small ones every now and again. It just leaves me feeling so anxious.

I totally relate.
Do you think you might also be in Autistic burnout? That can have a big effect as well.

But I am sending you love and hugs. It's so difficult sometimes. I don't want you to feel alone. I will be here with you. :heart:

What's an Autistic burn out?

I do have a long past of abuse though, unfortunately.

Thank you. I appreciate it. :heart:

I will pm you a letter I wrote for an Autistic friend on fb to explain it to her therapist. I might have to send it in chunks because WP technology doesn't handle long posts well
