Lisa,
You as so right. When I really started my journey to healthiness(as I call it) there were days that I just didn't want to face another thing. Times when I just wanted to give it all up, because the pain of facing things was too great. My therapist pushed me harder then, and I would push back, which gave me the incentive to fight even harder to beat the BEAST of PTSD.....
He told me in the begining that the journey to recovery was worse than any job in real life I could take on. That there would be days that I would be so emotionally drained that just thinking would hurt. He was right.
He also told me that it would get better. Times in between my flashbacks would lessen, my depression would lift, triggers would and could be managed, and that my life would become easier.
He taught me coping skills, how to destress, sleep techniques, daily mantras to keep me on lifting my self esteem, exercises to work on setting boundaries, and how to work on my anger, and letting go of things that held me back from moving forward.
It can be done, and EVERYONE is capable of making it. Everyone is capable of beating :fight:the Beast of PTSD!!!!!!!
Hugs,
She cat
