  • Life Issues

    Wednesday, December 7, 2011 | A Painful story

    This month started off to a rocky start. On Dec. 1st, I took 30 flexeril pills at 3am. A quick phone call to my sister and mom and I ended up taking an ambulance ride to the ER. During my time in the ER I had time to think about life and issues that have been bothering me. I came to the fact that I wasn't trying to end my life but was calling for help. Help for what I do not know. I spent the ent...

    On New Years Eve I started off my trying to end my life again as I did last month. I spent another 2 days in the hospital in the ICU. I ended up being committed to the hospital under what is called as a chapter 51 hold for being a danger to myself. I spent 3 days in the hospital and was able to work out some issues with medicines and things that have been bothering my life for a long time.

  • Hitting emotional bottom

    Saturday, January 26, 2013 | A Painful story

    I'm finally ready to deal with my miscarriage and what it's done to me mentally.
    The only thing I've ever wanted in my entire life was to be a mother. Everything else was second banana.
    For the last month and a half I've flat out refused to deal with this. It was easier for me to leave it alone. Now I'm seeing a lot of that pain resurface and I think it's time to deal with it.
    I just don't know h...

    Friday, February 22, 2013 | A Painful story

    Just joined. Wanted to find a place to share and to get and receive support. I was diagnosed with CPTSD a year ago after being misdiagnosed for nearly thirty years. It has made a huge difference in my understanding of myself and what I need to do to recover, but it has not made it alot easier.
    I have recurring flashbacks and am raising three teenagers and their behaviors find me getting tri...

    Saturday, March 23, 2013 | A Painful story

    it's always an argument anymore. we cannot talk to each other for more than a few minutes before the bickering starts. one of us says something the other objects to & we are off & running.
    everything is a sore subject.
    it is exhausting.
    i will be so glad to have a few days of peace & quiet. no arguing. no

  • Feeling bad Monday

    Monday, April 29, 2013 | A Painful story

    Today was a mental health day from work.  I think that's the way I will look at this day. This past weekend, I had my Grandson, Damien over, and while I wanted to take him out and do shopping or go to the park or playground, I just didn't have the energy. We stayed home and played games and puzzles and watched movies.  We had a great time. We ordered pizza for dinner and ate ice cream a...
