When you just face that gloom that just hypnotizes you into utter failure no matter what? You have this aura that draws people to your energy to ask you to do, do, do...You say YES of course cuz you don't want to disappoint them, however when they start making the phone calls you NEVER answer the phone that's what caller ID is for. Then you feel like your a prisoner in your own house....Cuz then you have to make up excuses as to why you always say YES in person, and yet you can't answer your phone....Your so low on energy that your starting to get enraged at these people whom don't freaking GET that you freaking struggling to LIVE!!! However you could not explain it to them if you tried, some people believe it or not you have tried

I know the feeling, and it freaking sucks! Hang in there, it's NEVER as bad as you believe it is. I'll stop and look around me sometimes and just think, "what the hell is going on around me? Who am I? PLEASE just let me understand what. just what?!?" but an answer never comes. I always feel like i'm in a movie, or that "i'm" not real, but my body is, and i'm just connected to it and watching as it plays out it's life.
The worst part is that I cant tell my family and others around me that i'm not ok, because i am ok, i'm doing all the right things, I have no desire to mess up my life at all, I'm outgoing in front of other people, but I never feel that way... I've learned that it's all a mind game though. There is nothing wrong, I am living in the same world as people that dont feel confused like this, the only difference between me and them is that I choose to be confused, for whatever reason. I dont know if this will help you, but for me, there came a time where I just accepted that the way I view my world is different, and instead of constantly trying to figure out why or how to fix it, I just accepted it and started forcing myself to find intrest in other things, anything else. |

((((kalisha)))) I'm so sorry. I wish I could help. I feel the same way. I actually texted my t like 5 times in one hour today - she finally just called me. I'm finally learning to say no to things - it can be done. I had to decide that I needed time to pull my family in and focus on them and my relationship with them. When I decided that, it made it much easier to say no to outside stuff. It didn't feel selfish anymore because I needed to say no for the sake of my family. I'm not sure that I really needed to do that for my family, but it gave me a good reason to give when I say no. Although, I'm not sure anyone ever asks me why when I say no. Anyway, I'm sorry you feel like you're going to explode. I know the feeling well and it really stinks. I pray that you can relax a little over Christmas, enjoy your family and ignore the expectations (internal and external). This is supposed to be a time for peace, not stress. If only we could do that.

thank you all for your replies...I value each one...I even replied to T today? Can't even remember what I said..I had a dr.s appointment that just showed more medical issues and I just am physically stressing too! I don't have time for me!! That's just the way my system works...My husbands health is at most important to me! Will feel a little better when he has his test I think, but at present I feel something I can't post here as it is a TRIGGER!!! Just fed up and done...My energy level has just absolutely depleted. Have been in contact like said with Dr. and T...Nothing much can be done at this point. Just well yeah...We all have our breaking points....I am having body memories from therapy and flashbacks and just not sleeping but it's expected...Therapy is slow too not pressured...It's my life...It's what it's like to live with the crap that it is.....I am tired..............

I'm so sorry. I really feel your pain. As frustrating is it may seem, you actually can take some time out and look after yourself. DO some self-exploring, make some time for you.
Don't feel guilt about saying No: Just do what you can do. As long as you make peace with the face that your 100% is good enough for you - stop worrying what others think of your 100%. We love and care for you - we go thro these emotions to. It's not easy, but it will become easier with time

You have to stay on top of your life. Only you can make that decision that you want to carry on with life. I know that right now it doesn't makes sense to have to push through the pain, but looking back you'll understand why. And you'll see what you could have lost and missed.
Take it easy on yourself. Start trying to journal and put your thoughts on paper. Discuss this with you T. I know you are feeling tired and hurt, but know that this will pass. Christmas is often difficult for people; but we are here for you.

I understand...Words are words...Just trying to express ugly ridiculous feelings. like I said I appreciate all responses...I know we are all going thru are own stuff and it's hard and appreciate all responses...Thank you very much...My mind is sick and memories are just hurting and voices are just contributing
