Life after bushfires

Hi... first post... struggling ..

Hi... first post... struggling ..

hi all. I’m not sure what this will do for me, but I needed to tell someone. This is my first time using these groups, I found this advertised on FB. I lost my home in bushfires on NYE. I nearly lost my life defending someone else’s home. I thought I was dying. I have struggled every day since. I can admit my anger is out of control towards my beautiful wife who try’s her hardest for me. I don’t have anything that was once mine anymore all my life history gone. My family has turned against me over grant money they weren’t eligible for but I was. My life has been falling apart all year, but I have so much trauma from that night. I’ve lost everything but my wife and children. Which I nearly lost. Some days I can’t even eat. I know I need help but being the man of the family I can’t exacly take the time off work to get the help.

I’m sick of the men don’t cry attitudes.

I cry all the time.

I take long showers to cry so no one can see.

I stay in my car for 10 minutes after work to clear myself up before coming home.

This is never ending for me

@IamNOTalone Congratulations on your raise!

Even when life is tough, there is still good. Even if it’s small, or big, we tend to forget about it why our brains are clogged with the bad.

Celebrate that raise, openly talk about how that positively effects Your life. How finally something good has come your way.

We are aloud to be excited and happy about our achievements why at the same time experiencing loss and trauma!

Im happy and proud of how far I have come from all of this. We don’t need to hide the postive amongst the bad ❤️
