Scared and alone

Lee82Senior Contributor

Scared and alone

I can't seem to shake the anxiety I have had all day today. I feel like I am 1 step away from going crazy. I have been trying to ignore it all day and it's exhausting. I feel sick and irritable. I am so tired of feeling this way. I have had enough of it all. Why is it that we have to suffer in silence and deal with all this sh** every single day and the people who made us this way are living a wonderful happy carefree life? Why do I have to accept that this is just the way it will be from now on? I don't want to accept it. I don't want to have to deal with living with PTSD and depression and anxiety and everything else that comes with it.

I have an English staffy. He is a cutie but can be a terror at times too.

Re: Scared and alone

I am trying but they keep flooding in and out. I am exhausted but afraid to fall asleep. I may be able to try and control my thoughts when I'm awake but when I fall asleep thats another story and atm flashbacks seem to be happening in my sleep.

My english staffy is good- its my french bulldog that was playing up. What colour is your dog?

I'm sorry you're struggling with flashbacks and I understand that it must be tough for you. I know you can't control your thougts when you're asleep. There might be treatments to help with this? Please look after yourself. I am going to head off soon, I am needing to try to get some sleep in.

Hi is a blue staffy. 2 years old.
I was on parasason (sorry not sure if that's how you spell it) that was for my nightmares however my psychiatrist took me off them a while ago and now they have started up again.

thank you so much for keeping me company. I really appreciate your help and support oceangirl.
