    • Close Bereavement
      Type: Loss of a Partner/Spouse

      My life partner committed suicide less than a month ago. Just looking to be with others.

      Treatments

      Crying Too Soon to Tell
      I am still crying....
      Writing Working / Worked
      The more I write about this tragety, and open up about my life, I see many things that keep me going. I like to go back days, weeks, months, and see that I truly am making a bit of progress each day.
    • Close Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

      After the death of my life partner, not only did I relive the coroner telling me he was dead by suicide, but I had many things coming back from my past. I have so many thing buried way down deep...from childhood physical and mental abuse, to family deaths that I didn't grieve over, to many suicides. It is like when you throw a pebble in a lake...the ripples are formed. In my case, a boulder was dropped in a small pool, and dredged up everything from the bottom.

      Treatments

      Writing Working / Worked
      I created a timeline (I love flowcharts) showing everything I can remember from my earliest memories, to the present, marking how bad or good I felt. It helps clarify things.
