I’ve been under very hard situations not so long ago, I’m having anger thoughts and I have little patience with people, especially when they act like idiots. How do I move forward after this? My future is uncertain

it’s a tricky thing to diagnose
I had to look up all the signs online, and I had all of them
did you experience something violent like first hand witnessing a death
or yourself, near death experience?
Phil knows more about this than I thought he did, and we talk about it sometimes.
Mine has greatly improved over time, but not 100 percent, my whole body is affected during a high stress situation. I never did do therapy. I’m not sure if there’s a pill for it, but I thought I heard, maybe on here, that there might be.
I’m surprised i don’t have PTSD despite being diagnosed with acute stress disorder and having severe DP/DR.
My delusions weren’t delusions in my past lives but were real and they were traumatic. I remember them and talked about it in group and here. Apparently nothing happened in this life.

I believe severe mental illness, mostly schizophenia, bipolar disorder and schizoaffective disorder, can be extremely traumatising and can lead to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Psychosis can be life-changing in a really horrible way.
I was certainly traumatised by visual, tactile and auditory hallucinations. I’m not frightened of them now, but some years ago, they were absolutely terrifying. I think everyone who has a SMI (serious mental illness) should be tested for PTSD.

Another triggering message.
My pdoc diagnosed me with ptsd because of my mother and older step brother emotionally abusing/being disgusting towards me.
I dont know what youve been through but i can relate to what youre describing as symptoms. I have very low patience for people and have the most hateful thoughts.
First things first, get a pdoc to screen you for it. The thing about ptsd is that its a lot of work. Therapy and benzos i believe are the current first line of treatment.
Hope you feel better soon.

one of my friends has PTSD. he has a support dog to help him through it. Its someone you can always trust and rely on. if you do it must be especially difficult with SZ.

I have had bad memories that caused PTSD. I hate intrusive thoughts and feeling depressed.
