i feel like i just can't do this anymore. nothing's working out right now and i'm incredibly discouraged. everything is just such a struggle. i've felt bad a million times in my life, for a million different reasons...but even when I tried to kill myself I felt better than I do now. i have honestly never felt this awful, which is saying a lot coming from me. i don't think i can fight this anymore. i'm not going to kill myself or anything, but only because i don't think it'll work and i think i'll just end up in a hospital, and i hate mental hospitals. but it's sad as hell to know that's the only thing keeping me here.

Also, do what you can to make your life a little more positive. If you feel abandoned or lonely, be brave and make new friends. Do things that you really enjoy doing. Give yourself some extra relaxation time. Sometimes, keeping busy helps keep your mind off of the bad thoughts.
Are you seeing a good therapist? Dealing with this alone sucks, and is really, really hard to do. Having a therapist that you can bounce ideas off of, or who can give you new ideas for coping, helps a lot.
(Of course, you have to find one you like.)
Unfortunately, I disagree with Ciora - When you're at your low point, there are two directions - up, as she said, or stay the same. Staying the same is not helping create a better future... So you need to break the pattern and try something new that will help you work your way up! What most of us with PTSD desire most is to be able to control our lives. One way to start doing that is to find a therapist (or a new one) and start taking control of your healing.
Hugs, my smiley green-pail friend.
