"I can't go on,I can't go on,I can't go on,I must go on."-Winston Churchill


i am sick and tired of the nightmares,the intense anxiety,the dysregulation,the flashbacks,and all else and i am scared that i will have another episode of lost time-


so alone and.


i have called the co-ordinater of the womens' organization that hospital arranged for me to be set up with a case manager,i left a message and she never called me back,and called 3 more times and she never answers her phone-


Whatever.


Have started self harming again after 12 or 13 years free of it-it is sick but it helps-i feel real and i can breathe again-


i miss having friends-they are all in another city.


i am so very isolated-


Please do not suggest i go to meet ups or volunteer-


i-just-can't right now...


i feel tremendously guilty.


M'Kay Enough.

Maybe you could call and get a different caseworker. Start a journal write in it 4 times every day so you can see when you lose time.

More healing hopes, Silver.

May you find the courage to do what needs to be done.

So sorry your 12 or 13 year run without self harm has ended, silver. I know you must feel defeated by it. However, going over a decade like that doesn't go up in smoke because we falter, it stands as a testament to how healthy you have been able to be and are able to be again, against all of the odds stacked against folks like us. I say "us" because as isolated as you are where you live, you are part of us here no matter what.

Thanks for your quote from Churchill, your sharing it is going to help me get through my day today, so here's my support back atcha, my friend. You are not only supported in your struggle, you are admired. Keep up the phone calls to whomever you need to send them, but please always keep us posted so we can be by your side to give you strength daily here, ok?

I totally echo all Muji said. No sense in repeat. Silver, you have crawled out of this pit before. You have an advantage as you have already done it before. Go back to what worked then. It's not going backwards; it's a restart. You can do this. We are here for you, cheering you on. Healing and calming hugs surrounding you.

    I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying.  I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there.  I think that I will start writing in it again.  It's so therapeutic.

    First, I hope everyone is doing well, and continuing to fight that good fight! Keep up the great work on yourselves; I'm rooting for all of you!So, I started doing therapy at the beginning of the year, when I was in my most depressed state, but with my therapist, I made big changes and steps in the right direction. But, over a month ago, she couldn't take my insurance anymore, and I had to stop...
