Today is the anniversary of what sent me into the depths of hell.. Ptsd .

How do I feel now? With help from my T I have moved forward alot.. I still have anger about but it no longer is a rage that took over my life..

Mainly the "clean up part" That is something that my T and I dont think I will ever get "over" ( understandably) It will just be filed along with the other hellish stuff in my life I have gone through.

Do I miss her and have compassion about what she did ? No. If she wanted to take herself out she could have done it other ways that would not have traumatized me to that hellish degree.

Had I not gotten back in with my T I think I would still be in hell.... Im so grateful that he had not retired.

I'm sorry. At least for me, though I have probably 4 different and unrelated instances causing varying amounts of PTSD, at least I don't know the dates. Well, I take that back, the date of the last one, the perforated ulcer that almost killed me at a time when I didn't want to die (there's irony for you), yeah, I remember that because of was Valentine's Day and I'd just turned 40 in January.

I'm glad I can't/don't remember the other dates. I don't know how I'd handle it.

I'm glad your T helped.

I am very sorry for all of your suffering.

You have survived this year, although it sounds like it was very, very tough on you. I, for one, am glad/thankful you are finding some healing.

your always in my thoughts ... always will be ... time may not heal some things. but if we let it we can gain a new perspective ... though the wound will never be healed as it was before ... hopefully time will soften the bad memories ... love from Tigger ..

It’s been a “ odd “ day to be honest.

Ive been kinda stuck in my head off and on.... but I think it’s a normal reaction.

You went through a hideous trauma and wisely reached out for help. You've passed the one-year anniversary. I highly commend you for getting through this past year. The coming year will likely be much less difficult. Here's to never losing hope!
Thanks for this!

Thank you everyone.

I did get through yesterday with a blip
or 2 here and there which I expected.

I am damn proud of myself for working so hard with my therapist that the event is just filed away with all the other abuse I have worked through. Go me !

Thinking of you, Christina. Anniversaries of traumas are very hard to go through, but you made it. Pat yourself on the back for it. HUGS.

I am really happy that you have a handle on this terrible time in yiur life. I see it still can be difficult for you. I think it is quite an accomplishment being able to do this only a year after it happened. Awesome! I doubt if I could do the same.
