Life was better before I started cptsd treatment
28 f, my cptsd got diagnosed earlier this year while seeking treatment for my eating disorder. Pretreatment I was an engineer with an 8 year career. I feel that since starting treatment my mental capacity in regards to emotional stability, attention span and motivation to do anything has significantly decreased.My mind wanders so often that something has to be wrong. My anxiety has spiked to the point that I talk myself out of social events alone and leave early if I'm with friends. I have moments of noticed dissociation where I'm doing grounding techniques to actively bring me back to the present. I have triggers all around me now, and I just feel like life was easier before I got help. Can anyone relate?
