Why this sub isn't helpful

For me, being alone would likely be worse. I find comfort in comrades. However when I ask some people here how to better approach my partner about it, they say I should simply demand her. Which won’t happen.

I’m not going to sit there and dictate someone because of a disorder. Frankly, none of us have any idea what’s going on. There’s really not enough research on it, most people discover what they are by hearing from someone else about it. That’s actually powerful to me.

The more people that discover this and rally the more attention it gradually gets, the closer we can all get to figuring this out. Until then I agree though. The completely validating viewpoint is actually kind of toxic.

It’s like saying I can go around and behave aggressively because of my ptsd. No one would stand that just because of a disorder. To me it’s reality, but that isn’t the case. I have to adopt coping mechanisms for that just like for this. I’d say my miso is actually more challenging than the ptsd to manage. I’ve only found headphones.
