So I have been lucky enough to have been recovering over the past couple years. This illness still affects me, but I am able to do more things and have somewhat of a life. However, I noticed that my mind has not adjusted. Sometimes when I am trying to sleep I feel like i am back at the time when my illness was worse than now, or I get bad memories shoved in my face like those times I was being mocked by doctors. And then I have days where I feel better than usual mentally but it makes me question if I am faking it for attention. I decided to reach out here to see if anyone else has struggled with this. I am not completely sure how to put my experiences with post traumatic stress into words so I apologize if im not too specific. I just want to stop gaslighting myself and I want to know if this is a serious issue or not.
