Trying To Survive

[dougyhowzer]

I think it is safe to say that from what resulted with me from childhood that I am a PTSD Survivor.
Everyday I feel my mind is often in a cycle of torment from all the abuse I went through as a child.

I also have to say that I don't believe I will ever fully recover from what happen. The best I can hope for is to manage it , but I am probably creating an illusion that my life will ever be what I hope for it to be.

But as long as I have some shred of hope, I think it is possible that I will experience some healing and something good will come out of it.

Trying to survive is scary for me, but possible.

I am sorry that you are hurting. I have been feeling the same way about never fully recovering.

I think that the abuse forever changes our lives, but I do believe that some good can come out of it when we have found some comfort & then can comfort others.

I pray that God will sustain you, encourage you, & give you the comfort you need as well as peace of mind.
Take care

I read your post, and I cannot tell you if you will fully recover; I am not sure any of us will fully recover. I can tell you this; you will survive it.

The fact that you recoginize that you are a sufferer, and you have hope are two powerful things in your favor. Educate yourself about your condition, learn to recognize the things you deal with because of your abuse, so that you can mitigate their effects on you, and never give up hope for getting better. You will survive, and with determination you can thrive.

I believe survival and adaptation are possible. I know that the abuses forever changed me and I struggle to find my way forward, but every day I move forward because I know that the alternative lets them win. I lose if I give up and my family loses if I give up.

Being a survivor has left us with understandings and strengths that others don't have. It is up to us to use them to make things better for ourselves and others.

Sometimes it feels scary, but you can do it!
