Does anyone get this feeling like they don't know who they are, but at the same time they do? Its a really strange feeling and i hate it. IT last for about a minuet....and i have to absolutely stop what i am doing and just let it pass... it freaks me out so much.... i hope im not the only one who gets this.
It makes perfect sense that you no longer know who you are if you have PTSD. When trauma sets in, you are no longer the person you used to be. You kinda get lost in-between the pre and post trauma. You are no longer here or there, but in a very real sense, parts of your brain become frozen. Not literally, but a very traumatic event carries strong emotions, and a strong physical response in the body. You can kinda get stuck in the state of being for periods of time. However, once you began to learn some coping skills, and a little time, and perspective, you begin to heal.
You are not who you were, but you are not who you can/ will be either. Your job is to start piecing together who you want to be, and making steps toward that goal!!!
Most of us with PTSD are dealing with the similar issues.
