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....

Re: Despair *potential trigger: abuse*

I'm battling a bit today, getting sick with a cold my lil guy has had for the last few days. he's very cranky but snuggled up on the couch now watching a movie, hoping he'll have a sleep... poor lil guy.

Hope your fire stays nice and hot! I havent been able to get any wood this year, but we do have a heater that keeps the lounge room warm so its ok.

Lifeline: 13 11 14 or Crisis Chat
Suicide call back service: 1300 659 467 or online counselling

Thinking of you -

Re: Despair *potential trigger: abuse*

Oh @hiddenite I'm so sorry to read that your mother said that to you. It's an opinion though - not a fact.

It sounds like there are a few of us sitting by the fire tonight.
