I'm becoming very withdrawn...

[Walilamdzii]

I find it difficult to be around people for more than a few minutes at a time and I'm going out of my way to avoid social interaction. I have to meet a friend and go to therapy next week, but I really just want to leave it all behind. I'm naturally a very sociable person but I can't relate to people since being hospitalised several times, it traumatises you and alters your worldview.

I've personally always preffered to avoid other people but anyway it sounds so awful what you've had to endure, hospitals sound like horrible places to me.

I used to be quite happy in my own company, but yeah, hospitals are awful. Especially to be left improperly supervised with someone who gropes and then sexually assaults you. That's lifelong trauma because they don't pay any attention to what is actually happening on the wards. The first time, it felt like I was being kidnapped... they didn't even give me time to get underwear before bundling me into a cab and then taking me to this awful hospital, where you're left in a grim room and "observed"...

 

[theyspeak]

yeah, i totally get you.
the hospitalizations i had left me more and more broken and now i'm a total different person than before.

i don't want to interact with anybody, mostly because i find it difficult to express myself in a proper way.

Hospitals in third world countries like mine are a horror show. Indifferent or judgemental staff make the entire experience a living hell. You're only guaranteed a relief from suffering if you're a one percenter.

I hear you about avoiding people. Felt the same way for a long time now.
