Hi, I've been blocked by someone who is suffered from PTSD.

I met her in January through a dating app and we slept together after a few dating. She told me she has PTSD after sleeping and got anxiety and scary a few days later. She pushed me away. It was in February. I sent a positive message and let her go. I could see her status in Whatsapp at that moment.

1 week later, she contacted me again to make it up. We restarted in March and dated once or twice a week. It seemed smooth. One day, I got upset and put it on her when we talked in a phone. We cancelled the next date and got space. After a few days, we met and talked in person. She already decided leaving and I said I don't want to do it. However, all I can do is to let go. So we said goodbye and may meet each other one day. I got pushed away again. It's tough but she also feels so hard.

After going home, I wanted to send a positive message but unfortunately, she seemed blocking me.

Is it popular that someone with PTSD blocks or ghosts?

During dating, I read a lot of articles and watched a lot of videos to understand her and knew emotional avoidance is pretty popular. But does it make them block or ghost someone?

If so, I can't believe it because she has a great and pure heart. She treated me well and I felt so happy and safe as well. Those memories are in my heart.

I'm okay! I know there is nothing to do with me. I'd just like to learn about PTSD. She still gives me great opportunities to learn! I'm also worried about her and wish she would feel better soon.

If someone knows, does it happen that she comes back after blocking or ghosting, what should I do if she comes back to me again?

Thank you

    hi kkk, you did ok. ptsd is really tough it takes masses of patience and understanding to even meet any with ptsd. it's totally misunderstood and feels like the worse thing on earth for the sufferer. it's not easy to cope with, you feel totally alone, you can't explain what's happened why and don't know how to let others in. it's unbearably painful, it leaves you hyper-alert, shatters your trust, knocks relationships to pieces, gives you depressive and super anxiety feelings. you feel trapped and nobody else understands. you can't tell anyone and you learn to do everything alone. it's a very sad and lonely world. it takes specialist support to help. patience is the key word when help someone with and lots of time. good luck, it's so tough to deal with, even harder to support someone with. 😁🤞
