Hello,
im in a difficult situation with lots of triggers from ptsd. Disconnected and my anxiety is terrible. My strategies don’t really work. Just counting the days and trying to fight the urges but I’m really tired of it all.

No it’s not, I’d never say that. Sorry for the confusion.

Oh ha ha its ok, I have never heard that term before and I googled it.... It is also the name of a band by the way 🤔.

Thanks @Former-Member it’s just one of those nights where I wonder if anyone would care. Life would just go on? It went on for me. But I just remember that I’m being told that feeling is just in my head. And I know I’ve been here before. I’m just exhausted my friend. How are you?

I just feel misunderstood and alone in my battles. I know it’s my fault but I don’t know how to make it different.

I feel so alone sometimes.

@Former-Member Read the song to the end please. There’s hope at the end of the song. I know someone cares, I just find it hard to keep up the fight for someone else sometimes, but I’ll be ok.

Hi
i tried to reach out for help last night. I don’t feel I can find the right words but it was bad. I can’t find the words and then I can’t get someone to help me. I don’t know what to do different. How do you ask for help. I don’t write in a text message how bad I feel but no one is there and may safe people didn’t call yet. That makes me feel even more that I don’t matter. And I think it’s just because I can explain. I feel safe tonight but it makes me really sad. I have people to contact when I’m feeling so bad but they don’t care.

hi all,
I’ll take a break from the forum. I feel like I don’t have words or the energy anymore to communicate. My anxiety is through the roof.
