Let’s Talk About A Ptsd Thing That’s Called Sense Of Foreshortened Future. I Don’t See Anyone Ever

let’s talk about a ptsd thing that’s called sense of foreshortened future. i don’t see anyone ever talking about it here and i think that it’s important that people know that what they experience is nothing but another symptom of their mental illness.

So what is it?

Basically, sense of foreshortened future is a feeling or a belief that for some reason you won’t have a long and fullfilling life. You feel like you will die soon – or sooner than expected – and therefore you shouldn’t make any long-term plans. You try to avoid long-term relationships, you don’t have any career plans, reaching your birthday - hell, sometimes even managing to surivive the week surprises you.

You feel like you’ll never have a normal life because you’re not only broken beyond repair but also can’t trust anyone anymore. It is an incredibly depressing feeling that makes you feel like there’s no point in… anything, really? Every activity becomes dull and pointless and you don’t know what drags you though life at this point.

I know it won;t make the feeling go away but I want you to know that this feeling is NOT a reflection of reality. You’re not broken beyond repair and you will have a normal happy life if you work on your recovery. making plans is not pointless. You deserve to be happy and you will be happy. Don’t let PTSD and its symptoms convince you otherwise.

This girl was the first to catch my attention by saying hi. I could go back in time and still not know how to handle it. It's going to be a billion point five years from here to earth. When Brad Pitt had to travel back to earth in ad Astra.

From the Lima project where he found his long lost astronaut father. Who was still in search of "intelligent life" or whatever he was searching for at that point so far out from the human race.

Kind of how i am off this Lexapro from my University psychiatrist. It's like the Lima project. Except it's the Lexapro project. And it's not ten million miles in a ship. In 10 mg in a bottle. The funny thing is my best friend from back home just been prescribed the same thing to help manage his aniexty. It's all a conference from the higher ups. Like nah these high roller ass kids need some regular basis script.

Oh, okay.

It's all cool only spent 3.49 on the pharmacy. But this lady was the first to catch my attention by saying hey. BUT I DONT THOUGH
