My parents just tell me you have to rise above it, but that's not so easy. It's getting worse. I've printed some worksheets and things from some websites to help me deal with ptsd which I think I'm going through. I didn't have this trouble til we had a house fire and lost everything in December. Now just seems I'm spiraling downward trying to cope with all my losses and the stresses going on in my life. (I lost my 10 cats who meant the world to me. My son was jealous of them I think!!) My family just seems to overlook what all has happened and that because I'm in a new house now everything is going fine. I've tried to explain to my mom how miserable I am, but she doesn't seem to get it. She's just out of the hospital now so don't want to trouble her with it anymore. My husband just tells me I'll be okay and tosses me aside - at least that's how it feels. I do realize it's pretty much up to me to help myself. I see it's not going to come from anywhere else. I hope you have some luck at the doctor next week getting help. I know just knowing you're going to get help in itself can be a relief. Good luck.  |
I hope you know that as long as you keep talking to me I am going to be giving you loads of hugs!
Well it looks like I have found someone the same as me! I also don't have any friends. If you ask me the online ones are more considerate. I guess I get too paranoid like when I was in high school and so many people... I would just think that everyone was talking about everything behind my back..which is pretty much true! I didn't really do well in high school anyway, I ended up isolating myself from everyone.
I am so sorry that there isn't that one person you can call when you need urgent help! Feel free to talk to me whenever you would like!
Yes maybe you should take up the yoga again. I would if it wasn't for physical problems. Maybe I can some day when I manage to feel better!
I hate it when people just tell you things like that. It's like they are telling us to snap out of out emotions and personality like it is the easiest thing in the world to do. It isn't and it is a miracle that you are getting through each day! You should give yourself more credit! Don't let people bring you down just because they will never understand. I feel very isolated in this sense too and it is the most horrible feeling.
I am so sorry to hear that! I actually read that in your bio and was really taken aback at how a person can go through all of that...I can't even begin to imagine how it must have been and the impact it had in your life. But the fact that you even get out of bed every single day and face all of your difficulties and struggles shows that you are a strong person. You want to help yourself so that you can get yourself better and become a stronger, happier person. You are amazing.
Also thanks for the good luck!
Super hugs for you!!
