Since my mom died last August I've been going completely downhill. Then a couple weeks ago I looked up an ex on the Megan's Law website...bad idea. Anyways, I've been suicidal and si'd since then. I'm a mess. My PTSD has returned, I'm stuck at age 14 or so (I'm 26) mentally and emotionally, and I'm often playing the victim role, which I need to get away from but don't know how.

So I'm regressing pretty badly...it could be worse...I guess. I need help to get out of this rut I'm in.

Are you seeing a therapist? It's good you've recognized the problem, and have resolve to fix it. I hope you can sort it out with a professional. If seeing a professional is out of the question, I hope you'll find a support group. Please don't kill yourself, things can get better someday somehow.

I'm new, so I haven't read back many posts, so maybe you already are. I hope everything is alright for you though. *hugs*

I'm sorry about your mother. Losing a parent is a very hard thing.

Don't cry when the sun's gone, cos tears won't allow you to see the stars.

I'm so sorry for the flare-up. It's very hard sometimes and we do regress and I'm doing the same thing so you're not alone. I hope you do take care and above all stay safe hun.

many blessings,
Kimberly.

I still haven't talked to my primary T about changing my treatment plan as of yet...she had to do an assessment for the PHP. She promised she'd do it today, though. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I'm sick of living in fear and shame and that's one major thing I need to work on.

PTSD Returning
I have to apologize, I think I may have posted some triggering messages without realizing I was supposed to post the "trigger icon along with it. I know I read the rules when I joined the forum, but I was so excited to read and discuss PTSD with others that I blanked it out. Thanks for the reminder, and I truly apologize.

I still don't really know how to use it, but I'll try. And thank you to all you who post about your PTSD struggles.

Take care~
