Needing Support

[Deleted member 34328]

Hi all,

I feel like a bit of a hypocrite in staying away from the forum for a while and then coming back when I need help.

The anniversary of my trauma is tomorrow 11th. I always hope that each year will be better than the last. Never better, just different. This year feels worse since several issues have come up that have resurrected the memories very strongly. I haven't had flashbacks this badly for quite a while.

I'm just discouraged and could use some support.

Thanks.

How can we support you? I am new to this site but have a counseling background but unresolved PTSD issues?

Thank you @Fayne Jane . What I need is to know there are others out there.

I feel very alone and afraid. The memories are horrible.

@stp2012 I don't know what your specific traumversay relates to tomorrow but we are here for you. I support you and want you to know you will get through this one minute, one hour and finally the day at a time to make it through tomorrow.

Yes there are many of us with issues, me included. Do you have a therapist? That is the first place to start. They can help with the memories and the feelings

Thank you @FauxLiz . I can't get into it right now as I'm already triggered pretty badly, but I appreciate every reply. More than you know.

Yes, I do. He's been fantastic and very supportive - as much as he can be. He does make himself reachable when needed. He already knows what the importance this it is.

Sitting with you in support. April 11th is a big A-day for me, too. Just got back from t.

And if it makes you smile at all, I am in your future here and it is going to be okay. ;)

If not, I do sincerely apologize, and I hope you can take comfort in knowing you are not alone.

Thank you @Naoru . I appreciate your words. I'm sorry this will be a difficult day for you as well.

Anniversaries are hard and some day I hope to be able to look back and recognize it as a really bad memory. Just not there yet. Someday.
