I don't like people touching me?!
Question: I don't like people touching me?
I mean, could my PTSD be making me react like I'm in past situations? Even if it's something as innocent as a tap on the shoulder or a hug?
Answers:
your past could be the reason for your recent behaviour. i was also badly abused as a child and i like you do not like being touched by people, especially people i don't know. the only ones that can touch me are my husband of 36 years ,my son, at times and both of my grandchildren and of course my doctors but that is basically it. if others try to i tend to panic and react in a negative and violent way. i am now in talk therapy to help me get past this. you need to talk to your mom about this and seek help to get over it. i suffer from PTSD, schizophrenia, bipolar, severe depression, severe anxiety and dissociation/depersonalization. there is help for it with talk therapy with a psychologist. i recommend that you find one soon and start treatment, other wise your life is going to be very difficult for you as you get older.
You need to see a doctor. You can't avoid all personal contact and certain kinds of contact are healthy. To avoid knocking someone out eventually, go see a dr. They can help you, other people do have the same problem, but you can't function in society like that.
I understand n I know when people been abused dey don't want to be touch or go on dates try to control ur emotions and remember tell people don't touch me bc I do not like to be touch
That sucks be careful because soon noone wil want to go near you or talk to you if you act like that try to control yourself a little
