Hi my name is jen and i have ptsd bad and depression. I cant think straight its very hard to function. I have had so much happen to me and i cant let things go uts crazy. Im at a point were im done i dont want to live any more. Family and friends dont understand and say u cant just give up snd relaxe and stop stressing. Its not that easy. Really im homeless dont have anything but a job that im blessed to have but they take child support so i can afford shit. Why stay alive?

Jen, a big part of being on DS for many of us is that family and friends do not understand, and so tell us goofy and useless things. We feel what we feel, and telling someone to feel differently is not going to work. We shall believe for you that your life will improve in all areas. Comforting hugs.

You remind me of how I've had a really bad patch of time about once a decade or so in my life. Two divorces with PTSD, collapsing with kidney disease and PTSD, losing my job and my home at once with PTSD.

About staying alive during those times, I've just postponed. And it's worked. I don't have the answers to why go on living when life stinks so badly, but I've just postponed the alternative to see if it got any better. I don't know how, but it did every time.

I wouldn't mind learning the secret to managing to have a whole decade once without having life fall apart in one of those bad patches, though.

    I'm feeling down,, and got alot on my mind right now.  I got grief going on, on top my depression and anxiety and now I got to worry about somewhere to live since I can't afford living here since my mom passed.  So many bad things have happened since my mom passed.  One thing after another it seems.  Yesterday our fence fell from a storm that hit, had to call someone to prop it up.  Thank...
