Are You Missing Someone Right Now?

[Britt.f7]

I know it sounds shallow, pathetic, superficial

I don't think it sounds that way at all. Why can't you miss your hair? I think it's needed to have something to miss that isn't as emotionally charged as the rest. A sort of reprieve.

So I'm sorry for all you are missing, including your hair!

I am missing who I used to be. Both the old me and the recovering from PTSD me! I also miss what might have been between me and my brothers if we had been able to stay in touch = this is really over-whelming me at the moment - am regretting getting in touch with them - realize now that I am not ready to be able to cope with whatever lies ahead.

I am missing my son. He has decided to cut me out of his life for the second time. The first time was when he was 16 and ran away from home so he didn't have to relocate with the family on his father's posting. Now again because he blames me along with his father for our marriage problems and the fact I could not cope with his father's PTSD and being shut out anymore. He has a lovely wife and 2 gorgeous little boys who I now don't see. He has adopted his father's attitude, if it too hard to deal with pretend it doesn't exist.

Discarded-Sorry!!

Thanks dms. My life really sucks right now but I have survived through many difficult times and I am doing all that i can to get through this mess also. I have hit rock bottom with my depression and fortunately decided ending it all is not the answer and a pretty selfish way of handling things. I have another son and 2 daughters who want me in their lives. My youngest is only 12 and she really needs me.

I miss my hair too. I've had alopecia in one small area, around my back hairline for years now, after a major surgery. I've been to countless Drs and Dermatologist, and they give me a cream that works for a bit, but it never grows more than a inch. Luckily, it's not obvious, unless i wear my hair in a ponytail, and i never do anymore, out of fear of someone noticing it. I try to keep my hair nicely done but, i miss wearing my hair in a ponytail on lazy days so badly.

I miss the way my first love use to hug and kiss me passionately. We reconnected on the internet after 26 years in August. I when to visit him where he works in another state and stayed for 4 days. it was a beautiful reunion Oh, one small issue, in my mind, Ha He had just remarried the year before, but he promised me that we would be together because "I was the Love of his life", never forgot me and held me in his heart too. HA he use to contact me regularly afterwards, send pictures, talked to my family, and promised to come see me in December in my state. I haven't heard from him in months. I give up! He actually lives in another state too and explain to me that when he works offshore it's difficult to communicate. 'WHATEVER"!! This is what I get for thinking that I could just come back in his life and totally discard/disrespect the fact that he had a new wife waiting for him to come home too. Him and I were each other first love, first engagement etc etc so I was back on fantasy island for awhile and thought that we was destine to be together FINALLY. LOL I always fall in love with Mr Unavailable, and get hurt every time like a big Shocked Dummy!

I miss being best friends with Mr CPTSD. We did everything together and I realized that I was falling in love with a man who also said he did want a relationship from the beginning. Was completely honest about his illness, need to keep me at arms length, episodes etc etc. This is part of the reason why I when to see my first love in August because i started getting attached to Mr CPTSD. Me and Mr CPTSD use to, stay the night with each other, laugh, eat and talk for hours when he was in a good mood. We shared everything. I miss my FRIEND! My heartbreaks mostly because he was MY FRIEND and CONFIDANTE and I was is. Now he claims to be in a relationship after we had a argument about me not wanting to go on a date, and he is mean, rude. and in a relationship after 3 "FFF" weeks? I'm HURT!! I HATE YOU PTSD!!!!!!!!!

Yes. I'm missing quite a few people actually. My young adult kids who live far away. An ex who's feelings I hurt although I truly never meant to.. and I never got the courage to go back and apologize. And now it's 3 years later. And someone who is apparently choosing to walk out of my life without a word. As if going to therapy and facing my past and dealing with my PTSD and other diagnoses wasn't hard enough.. to lose someone I really care about.. and in this way.. seriously? It's so hard right now to have hope that things will get better.

if it too hard to deal with pretend it doesn't exist.

My sister and mother were that way. Sister still is. Basically, if they ignore the situation, in their head they did deal with it. Unfortunately it often sneaks out in other ways. I think this is just denial.

Then they would get mad at me because I couldn't just let things go. Nice.

I'm sorry for your loss with your grandchildren. It's not fair to them or you. Maybe you could talk to his wife about, at least, being a part of the kids life.

I'm glad to know you recognize the other good you do have in your life. So often it is just easier to focus on what is missing. Let yourself be embraced by the good.
