I can certainly relate. I feel that I've lost so much of my life. Gradually, I'm starting to re-emerge into the world. I, too, feel like I'm coming back to life.

I think I understand that one. I feel as if I have been sleepwalking through so much of my life and am now really starting to live. Like joining up the dots between how I used to be and how I am now.

thank you for writing and letting me know I'm not alone ... I am thankful for ds ... it's given me great hope to live again, I actually met some people I can call friend ... my husband kept me in the past so that I wouln't live today ... it's sad and yet I am the only one who can try to learn to crawl again ....

I feel like I have lost the last 3 years of my life....all of when my daughter was born and growing up. GONE. I can't remember anything really...our bonding was affected by this unknown PTSD at that time.

IT SUCKS...but I am healing and am thankful for that. I want my life back.

I've suffered with PTSD for 11 years and felt dead most of it. sometimes I still feel dead, but somedays I feel like I,m starting to come alive again. I thought I'd never feel ilke that again, but some days I do, I actually feel alive - first time I'v ever said this!!!!!!!!!

i also feel like my life is slowly but surely beginning over again.

for me it has to do with not just dealing with the traumas and letting go ... but also with coming out of some severe bipolar episodes, finally being properly medicated.

it's good to feel like you're waking up again. good, healthy.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
