Being adopted is a curse

You get adopted and have to deal with life long trauma, confusion and pain with no fucking support out there for people who are adopted :/ been told I have fucking ptsd but can’t get treatment because it’s to fucking severe apparently :/
Sometimes when the people most like you don't love you, it is a hurt that can cause the greatest pain, and this pain can lead you to hate everything.

    This sounds so exhausting @Rose113. I can imagine it feels beyond infuriating :heartbreak:

    How are you feeling after this appointment? What do you feel like you need?

    I will share some potential options below for support around being adopted:
    https://www.pac-uk.org/our-services/adopted-adults/#advice - PAC-UK's specialist service provides support for adults adopted as children, and for adults otherwise permanently placed as children. We offer advice, access to adoption records, searching and intermediary services and counselling. Our PAC-UK Advice Line can provide you with more information on services you can access in your region and associated fees where applicable.

    National PAC-UK Advice Line: 0300 1800 090
    Our telephone advice line is open Monday, Tuesday and Friday 10.00am-4.00pm, Wednesday and Thursday 10.00am-7.30pm (excluding bank holidays).

    Go extra, extra gentle with yourself, @Rose113 and hope you can take the time and space you need to process this. We're all here and we're listening.

    @Sian321 hurting, I just want help for the past I can’t keep going on with the tormenting of my own brain :( it’s like being held captive in my own mind 😭 the 6th march is the last opportunity to hopefully get to support. If that appointment don’t go well then I give up just will have to accept that I’m broken and forever stuck like this :(

    I’ve tried Bernardo’s, adoption support UK, oakdalegroup and first4adoption :( I’ll try the other place that you suggested but I doubt I’ll get anywhere and it sucks :(
