I can count 4 times this year when I Went out of my way to make sure a "friend" felt good on their birthday, especially if they got left hanging. Its early in the...
It is hard to see the light in our futures when we are overwhelmed with the darkness that we are experiencing today.
Choosing to live had to be one of the scariest decisions that I have ever ever made in my entire life. I live little by little and allow myself more and more living every day ....and every day...living feels more normal and it feels more good than it ever has.
I remember when I didn't want to live the way I was and thought it was useless to live. Well...I decided that living was so horrible that I wanted to punish myself by choosing to live. Soon after, I got connected with a wonderful therapist who saved my life and helped me to connect with her and connect with life in a better way.
Anything that is different is always scarey....including new understandings of yourself and what is around you.
You CAN grow bigger....you CAN be in a completely different place in life in a year or 5 years from now. It CAN be a place that you want to be and that you enjoy and thrive in.
****biggest hugs to you****
You are brave to face what you are facing!
'A little at a time"....yeah, it is very scary living in a world that is so full of uncertainties and for us is even more scary, but be proud you have survived and continue to survive and don't see PTSD in a negative connotation, is a normal reaction to Trauma you've experience, doesn't mean you are crazy or anything, all the contrary.
Be compassionate to yourself, you can step outside yourself and be as compassionate to yourself as i'm sure you'd be for someone else who was going through what you've been through...
But starting to listen to yourself, and discovering which parts of PTSD apply to you and which don't, is a great way to empower yourself to begin healing.
I'm glad you're here at DS. There are wonderful people here, who really understand. We all teach and learn from each other. Please ask anything that comes to mind, and check out other posts, too... You may be surprised to find you have answers to help others with their questions.
Bright Blessings,

i dont know what part of me is PTSD what part is pain or depression or what is me at all really x
I hear you about how scary it is finding out that you have PTSD, and not sleeping.
I have been listening these CD's Recovering from PTSD from www.healthjourneys.com, and they have really helped me sleep.
I mentioned it to one other person on here, and they told me thing I have tried that has helped them sleep. I just thought I would throw it out there....
Let me know if any of this helps if you decide to try it. I know it helped my insomnia and back pain problems. There are also other things you can try, but I don't want to overload you.
