Hard time

Hi everyone I havent been on much due to not feeling right. I have been have a very hard time lately.  Started on Wednesday woke up feeling down depressed sad.  All day went like that . Thursday better some Friday horrible I ended up cutting my self again I could take it. I had the worst panic attack every like it was nothing I have ever experienced.  I have been so angry and mad.  Crying none stop.  I can't take it any more.  I see my peer Ib Monday she is going to help me finish my papers to take my ex back to court I hate not seeing my kids. Everyone is getting ready for Christmas but I don't want to.  Then I see my therapist on the 5th. Going to try and get in to see my doctor because I have been having migraines so bad it's killing me. I feel like a loser and a burden to everyone. I appreciate having this group you all have helped in some way thank you.  But really I don't know if there's any help for me.  Feeling lost with my demons. There winning.

Glad you remembered we are here for you, Toughass. Perhaps the most important magic I find in my peer support network is people willing to give me some of their hope until I can find some hope of my own. I doesn't know, but I am beginning to wonder if hope is one of those rare birds which never divides. It only multiplies.

Gentle empathy on the Christmas conflict. I can't seem to squeeze my life into a made-for-prime-time movie, either. Ho to the ho of the ho-ing ho. Don't wanna rain on other people's parades, either, but. . . Oh for the love of balance!!!

Thank you. Yes its hard to get in to the spirit of Christmas. I used to love Christmas because if the togetherness and to see my children open gifts and I loved Christmas lights. But I can get my self to be happy for it. To many triggers. Sad

    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...
