> the research these have led me to do, I think nearly everyone here can be considered to have some variety of PTSD. Maternal stress and depresson during fetal life begins by setting the HPA axis to "high", childhood neglect and abuse and later life experiences of loss, fear, conflict etc.
I have also read that fetal and post-birth environmental conditions are the single biggest contributer to many mental illnesses.
It's interesting to read about the mechanism that might be behind this.
What I've read, is that early-life creates the susceptibility to mental illness, and that conditions and experiences in later life are the trigger. Of course, nothing is black and white.
The hard part is: where to go from here.
I know that if I would have a job that didn't cause me to be anxious, friends, and other meaningful things, that I would be able to hold up.
My problem is how to get there. I find most workplaces too stressful to be at and get on my feet.
