I know the feeling. I'm mostly processing in Chatgpt too.

Yes, it is all exhausting. I relate to your post deeply. I'm so sorry how your friend acted. 

I hope you find some relatableness and feel less alone in the forum.

I actually only just know realized that a lot of the conflicts came from focusing on hypothetical harm and me worrying about what could hurt someone pontentially, instead of staying grounded in the actual conversations happening in front of me.

I guess I was overly prioritizing potential harm because the past taught me that pain arrives out of nowhere and I'm the one who
has to prevent it.

I guess it was hypervigilant state in action and of course I had no way of seeing the truth, because trauma just blurred everything.

I think this realisation will help me move forward.

Thank you.  I actually do know about the book. There is a pdf version available online and I'm reading it, though I haven't got very far. I can relate to stuff as well.

I heard about the book a long time ago, before I even knew about my cptsd and thought it's intresting, but never got around to reading it. It does seem like a mandatory book for us.

Ran, someone recently wrote about Bessel Van der Kolk's "The Body Keeps the Score" here on the Forum. You might want to look into the book if you haven't heard of it. I'll try to find the link here on the Forum.
Glad to hear about your disability requirements being fulfilled.
