Despair *potential trigger: abuse*

Despair *potential trigger: abuse*

Hi

I have been diagnosed with PTSD, anxiety, social anxiety, and depression.

I saw a trauma psychologist for 10 months twice a week, but she stopped seeing me when my safety became an issue while processing the trauma.

My symptoms are so bad now I isolate myself in the car everyday to avoid triggers and flashbacks. Unable to go to strange places, talk to people. Just don't belong anywhere. Anxiety so bad I shake most of the time, chest pain and hard to breathe... This isn't living......

I'm too damaged to be helped, I have tried but no one will help me..... They just tell me its too complex and they are unable to help. I don't know what do do I have no support isolated, alone and scared....

Hi @hiddenite

I know we (us moderators) can sound like a bit of broken record with asking these same questions. But are you safe? We worry when we see you write stuff like 'I give up.'.

Sorry to hear that this decision has been made. I know you must be scared and hurting. Hang on for your girls. It won't be forever time moves on (even if it feels so slow). Take some things with you, a blanket, what ever you can to help you feel as ok as you can. Don't give up, you've survived before and you can again. one day at a time, one breath at a time. here with you.

Oh Karen,

I'm so sorry to hear that. Please do not give up. Your girls need you to keep going for them - please hold onto this when nothing else works. I wish I had words, but I feel so disappointed with the MH system that I just am quite speechless. I really feel for you.

Itsounds like it would be a good time for another bonfire - I reckon we need to rally round both you and @kato , and the weather is certainly cold enough. What do you think @Alessandra1992 @peace @Former-Member @sara @Ellie @kenny66 @PeppiPatty & anyone else who wants to join in?

The weather is supposed to be sunny for a couple of days. I'm looking forward to being able to get a walk in on Friday morning before art, I'll have to miss out tomorrow as I've got my therapy appointment "down the line" :).

Take care of you my friend.

Hope for a beacon of light in the darkness endures...

Kindest regards,

Kristin

Dear Karen,

It's not you "doing this" - it's being done to you. Please don't blame yourself.

Hold on my friend. We will keep holding you in the midst of this, and lighting candles in the dark, hoping and praying for a better way forward.

Kindest regards,

Kristin
