Last night

I have been in severe distress for the last week. I have not been feeling like myself. My mom says im acting self destructive. Every since my trauma I have had thoughts about harming others and over the last four years its gotten worse. However, it was really bad last night. My mom said she checked on me like three or four times.

This morning I woke up with my blanket over me and I don't remember covering up with it. My thing that is worrying me is did I sleep the whole night or did I wake up. I don't get why this is getting worse

In my personal personals, I have a fairly extensive list of why things might get worse. Diet, isolation, current day stresses, lack of exercise, emerging memories and more sets of etceteras than I care to list.

What's up, Happy? You are the one with all the inside clues in your own personal personals. We're here to help you sort them if we can and if you want us to.

Do you have the help of a therapist to assist it getting your bearing on things, Happy? I needed one just to know which way was up, speaking for myself. I lucked into one who specialized in PTSD and things started t make sense for me after 12 years of casting about.

I'm sorry this is ongoing. You definitely sounded distressed -- particularly about the intrusive thoughts -- the last time you posted, here.

What have you done about those issues since you last stopped by ? Are you working with a therapist ? Are you working with a psychiatrist, or a primary care doctor, who can evaluate you for a particularly acute anxiety/OCD issue ??

What are you doing on your own ... to try to manage these symptoms ? What helps ? What doesn't ??

I wish you peace, health, and strength.....

If the medication is making these symptoms worse, have you told that to the person who prescribed them to you ??

You should.

    Just wanted to give a thank you to Mid, Arfie, Malibumark, Greeneyes, Mlro, Girlincalif, and Suncloudjd! You all always have such helpful tips and advice, but I always forget to write on my posts when I see you post, lol. I would lose my head if it wasn't attached to my body, lol. Thank you all so much! I'm starting to use my AI app as a sounding board again. I used to use it as that before...
