A place to talk about CPTSD.

  1. No diagnosis checking is allowed, If someone says they have it, they have it. It's not your job to dig through someone's medical history. It's invalidating.

  2. None of the very basic isms and phobias. Includes but not limited to racism, sexism, classism, homophobia, transphobia.

  3. CW your post if it contains triggering topics. If you have to ask, just use a CW.

Dissociation whilst on a date (feddit.uk)

Went on a date with someone, caring understanding and diagnosed with cptsd. We had a lot to talk about. Date went on for 8 hours, near the end we entered a very busy restaurant, I started have symptoms of anxiety, hot and cold flushes, heart racing, unable to talk or hold a dialogue, felt so uncomfortable, I randomly said about getting the food to go alluding to going home, I knew what I was saying and the connotations that went with it but couldn't stop myself. Its the next day and I feel so embarrassed, I continued texting her after the date and spoke to people about what had happened. I'm still dealing with the anxiety but think I stopped dissociating anyway

This hole thing has put me in a depression.

I want to tell her what was happening but idk if I should continue contacting her. I feel like a weirdo

I'm in a loop, finding this incredibly difficult to stop thinking about. Idk if talking to her will resolve my issue
