Feeling like a fake

Camoran

I feel fake sometimes, like i know im real but i feel like i fake all my trauma and second guess myself every chance i get. ive stopped going to therapy because i felt as if they werent listening and taking me seriously. people suggest things to do but i cant force myself to do anything and feel lazy all the time. i cant even force myself to take my medicine.

      There was this guy on tiktok (ill have to find him) that said "if you're questioning whether or not you're faking, youre not faking" and that has helped me so much. When I am faking something I know it without a doubt. When my pain gets worse or it affects me more than normal, I start to feel like a fake and remind myself that if I was lying I wouldn't have to wonder if I was lying, I'd know.

      Having people who understand and support you during your struggles is very important. Otherwise in your moments of wellness you feel like a fake... I struggle with this as well....

      It's ok love. These things are normal, I do the same with any possibility. What I try to remember is I am valid. I repeat that to myself over and over. And motivation is very hard. I'm always here if you need to chat or motivation to do something! This is a safe space <3

      I feel like this most when I’m having to rely on other people to help me. I think for me it’s a lot of internalized ableism and kind of also hoping for it to be fake so I can feel like normal/independent or something

      Can I ask why you feel like your therapist isnt listening? That sounds more like a bad therapist than a bad patient

        @notmia well the first therapist i had was amazing and i had him for 2 years but he had to move facilities. Then i got this woman that moved facilities after two visits, then a woman who moved after three visits. They then paired me with this guy who will search everything online and read off word for word what the search pops up and it just made me feel like he couldnt care less. Then the lady that gives me the medicine i explained to her about the fake stuff and (idk if its just me because i always feel as if people hate me) gave me a condensinding smile and tone of voice i guess? Thank you by the way, for your response.

          @Camoran why are you being assigned people? Are you able to choose who you see?
