I'm 39. I live in a small trailer with my daughter and grandson. I witnessed the murder of my husband five yrs ago and would have been shot myself had the gun not jammed. I suffer from ptsd and severe depression along with some new diagnosises I'm just learning about through a disability hearing. I was denied. btw. The depression i had before steeming i feel from csa and a very abusive childhood. Our only income is $235 a month and foodstamps. My daughter has begun to hate me because she feels i am a burden to her. We argue a lot and i try to make her understand i am a live in babysitter for her and believe me its hard for me to care for a 3 yr old when i can barely get around. We don't own a car and the bus stop is two blocks away. I can't even pyshicaly make it to the mail box down the street let alone the bus stop. I rarely get to go anywhere. I can't even do therapy anymore because med cab now wants you to prove you can't ride the bus, but i can't get to the doctor to ask for the proof. Its honestly almost madening. I had to go to the er for chest pains the other day and it was the most excitement i have seen in a long while. I sleep sometimes all day just so i don't have to think about how trapped and bored i am. I just wish i could open the door and take off running as fast as i could go.

Are you reapplying for disability? I imagine that is hard for you to do when you cannot even get a ride to see your doctor but somehow you need to get there and get someone to help you file for disability.

I am thankful you are returning to post here at PC Forums. I have PTSD like you, suffering from depression and a fear of going outside. And I have days or weeks when I have felt stuck and having problems just keeping that spot.
My experiences are different from yours, but the emotions and feelings are recognizable. Please keep posting. I hope your situation turns toward a positive direction soon.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
