I gave up on trying to be anything other than broken and fd up. Once I gave up that fight, a whole world of possibilities opened up to me. Turns out life can even hold joy and hope for someone as broken as me when I take the risk to *just* be me, broken parts and all.

Giving up is not an option. You've come this far to give up now and the fact that you are here seeking help means you really don't want to give up anyway.

If you feel like you are not strong enough to keep going allow those who love you and care about you to be your strength until you are able to regain yours.

You don't have to do this by yourself, you have friends here to help you and who also need you for the support you give to others as well.

You never know how many people you have encouraged to not give up too.

You are needed in this world more than you think

Gentle hug lilmissy..... I am sorry that things are so dark for you right now.... These are good days for baby steps.... xo

If you mean giving up is self harm, please do not do this. If you feel suicidal with a plan, please talk to your doctor and let them know. Or go to a behavioral health hospital emergency room. You are too valuable in this world to leave it. You are loved and valued, your life has promise and things will get better. Big hugs to you.

What others say... Give up thinking you have to be healed and perfect, maybe? Let yourself be effed up. We all are. We're all broken. Some in one way, some in another. So.... dont' worry about that. Think about what you are, *as well*: Kind, encouraging, strong.

Puma paw bump.

No,you are our dear lilmissy.

A beautiful gentle kind warm soul.

Please believe you are of value.

Because you are.

love&hugs&prayers.
Always.

You can't give up. You can't give up that hope. Yes im broken. But i don't let that stop me. At the end of every dark tunnel there is a bright light. When i wake up each day, i put two feet on the on the floor and im already looking forward to the next day and the one after that...... When humpty Dumpty fell of the wall didn't he become broken. and didn't he get put back together again. Who knew. lilmiss. You have a heart of platinum that can never be replaced. You bring warmth to our inner soles.

Prayers&Gentle Hugs. Always.

I have given up many times, lilmiss. The trick has been I've gone on again after taking a break from the struggle. I think of it as being in quicksand, where the more you struggle the more you sink, whereas if you're still you can float.

Of course, wouldn't it be great to get out of this quicksand altogether? Oh, yeah. One can dream.

Sending you support to float, my friend.

Thank you so much for your kindness <3

My goal today is to try to not give up

We're with you today, too, lilmiss.

Yep, that is an option and it is easy, but in my opinion you will never find peace from PTSD if you do. Nothing worth while is ever easy. It can be a painful process to find peace in your life, but know you will eventually get there. Also know that for every dark spot, low spot, or troubled time, there is a better time. Much like a wave, there is a valley and a crest to each wave. Our struggles are much like those waves, sometimes we are in the valley, sometimes we are in riding the crest. We always come out of the darkness. Knowing this was very helpful for me. When I was in a dark spot, I would remind myself better times would come, it help me deal with the darkness and hold on for the light.

I feel your state of mind and emotions. Life on this planet is challenging to say the least.
The past few months I’ve been watching YouTube stations of Dr Gregg Braden and Dr. Joe Dispenza, guided meditation channels to calm my mind. These help. Dr. Michael Beckwith has a nondenominational spiritual channel called Agape Live. All these guys do online courses too, many for free . New information to move into better brain waves.
Also I recommend knowing your Myers Briggs temperament…helped me get a grip on being introverted. Also learning of being a highly sensitive person as most PTSD people. We are very hyper vigilant people and that’s ok. Learning to self care and be positive to my own internal self talk. Self parenting is good too.
Be the parent to your younger self that was hurt… I’m trying anything to re educate my life coping skills. Go towards what others have found positive.
Lastly, I do tapping…channels on YouTube too, to release pain-physical and emotional. Do something everyday to keep myself as hopeful as possible. Sometimes all I can do is listen to Positive Energy Relaxation Music on YouTube…it can calm down the nerves. Blessings 2you!

Broken things can be fixed !!!!!!!!!
I was broken to the core and A friend of mine looked at me and said :
I have three words for you :
NEVER Give Up !

It's ok to be broken ,and fall down ....
It's the getting up that's important !
We all get up and try again...

Gracias <3 <3 <3

De nada, mi amiga!
