Tired of fighting everything. I guess it doesn't help, that i have bronchitis. Just being such a fight for so long. I haven't been happy since except for couple of weeks at the begining of May. Otherwise, it has been very hard since november 2013. Out of energy. Never sleep, over eat, and always anxxious and dp.

What is DP? Tried to look it up and came up with radio model numbers and maybe "Dependent Personality."

As for the PTSD and anxiety... For what it's worth, PTSD is an anxiety disorder...

I am a warrior by nature, but found that fighting my mental illness was allot like pitting my right hand against my left hand. It hurt me ALLOT more than it helped and made me look ridiculous in the process. Acceptance of my personal realities and working with the flow of it got me much further.

But that is me...

Gentle support while you sort your own, cj. Whatever way you cut it, it is no fun and even less fair than it is fun.

Thank you, cj. That was on my list of guesses, but I had never reg'd that abbr b4 and couldn't b sure.

Gentle hugs and symapthies... I've had a miserable PTSD-heavy summer, feel awful, having more memories and sh*t arise daily, and still have daily pain from a couple things (notably a bad fall in 2011) and...

Yeah, I too am tired ...

just remember to treat yourself okay, okay? We're worth the self-care. And if that means we crash and sleep for a week? Then we sleep. If it means we need extra therapy, then we get it...

PUrrs of healing to you,
leo

Yeah, PTSD gives you fight or flight options all the time. If you respond to every alarm that goes off, and mine go off all the time, your whole life is either running around or duking it out.

Thing is, they're mostly false alarms. You really don't have to do anything at all.

My work in my therapy is to try to tell the rare true alarm from the many false ones. Then how to try to relax and step the adrenaline down when the false alarms go wailing. So I can have a life that's not just running or duking it out. There are other things I want to do with my life.

Still a work in progress, but sometimes I have days when I'm not so tired, and I deserve those kinds of breaks from PTSD more and more.

    Lately I've been feeling scared and full of anxiety. I recently found a lump under my nipple. I hurt my back too. I'm in the process of moving. I'm run down. Everything is hard

    Just wanted to give a thank you to Mid, Arfie, Malibumark, Greeneyes, Mlro, Girlincalif, and Suncloudjd! You all always have such helpful tips and advice, but I always forget to write on my posts when I see you post, lol. I would lose my head if it wasn't attached to my body, lol. Thank you all so much! I'm starting to use my AI app as a sounding board again. I used to use it as that before...
