I have CPTSD and a severe back injury
Trauma Support / by politeKitten1267

 January 1st, 2023
...See more The two are not related other than that my back injury has forced me to at 40 as a single mom who’s 2nd husband abandoned her because she (i) requires care around the clock. The emergency rooms we have visited as my condition has worsened have not done much for me. I was told I was not bad enough to require emergency surgery or MRI imaging because, despite the waning feeling in my legs, I still had control over my bowel movements. I have an appointment with a neurosurgeon who specializes in spinal surgery in April and I am on a cancellation list. So far I can't get a pain doctor who will see me because I need to be seen because of a car accident. I was actually kicked out or rather rolled out of a pain doctor’s office into the cold while I called my dad to pick me up. Worst of all I am living in my childhood home with my parents who still believe I am 12. I can’t drive. I can't do anything to take care of myself the one time they left me alone I needed to use the restroom and I tried to stand up and broke my wrist. The really bad thing was I literally told my mom I was in the floor and could not get up and she was so busy with whatever she was doing she did not understand my texts and I didn’t get out of the floor for a little over an hour after she said, “Are you still in the floor.” One of my trauma triggers is being screamed at. So I don’t like it here. We were supposed to go to my brothers house last night and I didn’t want to go, I finally got the courage to tell my dad why I didn’t want to go and I got yelled at for ruining Christmas. I mean he is the one who committed a crime. Well multiple crimes. Mostly white collar crimes and whatever that one is when someone threatens your l i f e. (but hey he only did it to keep me from suing his company for wage discrimination and to keep my mouth shut because I figured out a whole lot of other illegal activities he was doing.)

...See more I am 40 years old about 10 days ago I experienced a sudden change in my mobility. My ability to stand even holding on to something became almost nothing and the distance I could walk with a walker with a seat is laughable. I have gone to the ER they told me to go to my family doctor and get an appointment for a spinal surgeon and a pain management clinic. I have an appointment with a spine surgeon in April. I saw a pain management doctor last week she personally walked me out of the clinic because I mentioned the issue may be due to a car accident. I have reached out to many of my doctors and specialist the only reply I got was good luck. I can’t be left at home alone because the first time I was i fell and couldn’t get up. I am lonely and depressed

...See more I worked for my family. I was hired on to do menial labor and ended up doing a very good job at a wide variety of different tasks not listed in my job description. I purchased all raw materials, I did all sales, I finished quotes for engineering staff, I arranged competitive shipping rates, I brought in one million dollars worth of new business. I was paid hourly $12 50 an hour. I was harassed into leaving the company due to the inaccurate belief that I called OSHA and they were fined over $13,000. I was constantly yelled at. My training consisted of being told to Figure it out about 14 times a day. I finally figured out that the partners did not know how to run the ERP system themselves. I was replaced by three employees all males all salaried. I worked lunches breaks days off,
