Hi I'm new here
Hi been struggling a lot lately I have bipolar and ptsd complex. Recently my brother whom I haven't spoken to in years rang me. He got my number off my mum and she knows that I don't wish to have anything to do with him. My brother is a lot older than me and sexually abused me for years. Now decades later he rings. At first I thought mum mustn't be ok why else would he ring. Well he's been accussed of abusing his 5 year old and my statements and reports he hadn't read supposedly til now are getting subpoenaed for this recent case of his. He asked me to lie and say I made it all up. At this point I tell him get f**ked and hang up. Well mum then hounds me. So I had to break ties and change my number which hurts that mum puts my abuser before me. Still never understand that. After that I wasn't prepared for my mental health to deteriorate. I went backwards in time and started having severe ptsd symptoms. This was a month ago. Then on top of that my ex for two days now has started driving and parking down street. Dvo has expired so nothing cops can do. No witnesss. All this has made me suicidal. And I started to get thing in order, they uped my anti depressant and last two days haven't slept at all. My mind is racing again. Loosing my mum again cos of this shit after I forgave her got years and let her in my children's life. She's a good Nanna we live in different states and just before I got the dreaded call she was visiting us and the boys don't understand. It feels like this season will never end and I'm tired of reliving my past. I have lots of tools but now they want me to do exposure treatment with this clinical Physcologist to get over my ex but having the recent stuff rehash of my brother I don't know if I can handle remembering on purpose.
