I really hope you're not alone in this, and that all of us are always willing to help you, and if you ever need someone to talk to, or to just listen, i'm only a pm away - please do! As far as cutting goes, I did it for a while as well as a "physical manifestation" of what I was feeling, and it really helped me cope with the violent, traumatizing flash-backs of my past. For me, it was an escape. But, like most things, I wound up getting addicted, and started hurting myself on a daily basis, just to go by. I hope that you find a way to deal with the memories, and the pain, and the self-injury. I've recently stopped my self-injury, but some days it's so hard to not do it. I really hope that you find what you're looking for, here at pc  |
Hello falsememory7-I have tears in my eyes from reading your post. I want to thank you so much for your words of support. Unfortunately, I am alone in this struggle. I live with my mother and other than that I am now isolated. I don't want to inflict my problems on my mother for a few reasons. One, I am worried about her health and I don't want her to worry about me. And, two, most of the events that were the catalyst of the PTSD and all the other related issues I am struggling with are related to family members. I just cannot bring myself to tell my mother about things that my family members did. I think that would devastate her too much.
I am sorry that you have had to deal with so much pain and trauma. It breaks my heart that people have to deal with so much pain. And then someone like you comes along and you shine through like a beacon, a reminder that there still is kindness and warmth and caring in the world. Thank you. Also, I will take you up on the offer to message you. I truly appreciate that. It may take a little time before I do, I'm having a particularly difficult time right now and I need to gather my thoughts. But I wanted to respond to you and tell you that I am grateful for your kindness.
