I think I just need some encouragement and I'll be ok.

Sorry your not doing well today @phemstros

Welcome to the site, what's on your mind?

Thanks. A lot of every just surged and I suddenly was just fogged up. I made it through, though. Despair and frustration, so anger, but I made it through. I hate Sundays.

Yup, depression. It really sucks. Depending on when it hits me, I either go and sleep if I think its because I need rest or I get out and do something practical, as that seems to help me best. Constant battle with that sucker.

Sundays are hard for me too.

I’m sorry for the Sunday blues, I know that’s an understatement. I know there’s a reason for it. Maybe redefining Sundays might help. Re-create the plan for your Sundays. Days are not supposed to hurt. Unfortunately, people have made them hurtful. Hoping you find the encouragement and ideas that you need to move forward and get out of the funk and get back to functioning.

I think my thing with Sundays is that is the day I was returned to boarding school if I had a weekend at “home”. I remember how from when I woke up until I was dumped back at the school how my day was dominated by the thought of having to go back. Coincidentally, my mother committed suicide on a Sunday too.

I’m so sorry. I don’t remember much about the day my father committed suicide except for how I was escorted out of school to come home and confirm what I knew had already happened. Yes, days can be triggers. I’m sorry that you had to survive a boarding school as well and I can understand completely how triggering that would be to have to face going back.
I’m looking forward to my appointment this afternoon with a trauma informed therapist. I do not agree with some of the information that was presented this weekend at a conference I participated in. I’m processing it and will process it further with my therapist to get back on my feet. My head started spinning again trying to figure it out. But I stopped and did self-care in order to get myself back in balance. Not all of the information out there is helpful. Not all of the options out there are beneficial, regardless of how the people presenting them believe they are. There is not one fit for every situation. I hope that I don’t trigger people. I hate being triggered and I am so sorry if anything I share is triggering. So very thankful to be here with all of you survivors who get it.

I agree, one has to be selective yet stay open minded.

I was born on a Wednesday and surprisingly I have no bad feelings about Wednesday’s.

Thanks for making me laugh! My son has a really good sense of humor. I’m not very good at it, but I like to laugh. I’m glad that you are okay with Wednesdays. I’m really sorry if you meant that because you have negative feelings about being born. My son has been there for 23 years, so I never want to trigger anyone about that. It just hit my funny bone. Happy dreams.

Just having a little fun with my twisted sense of humor. Sometimes I like to not take myself so seriously.
