    suicidal ideation is back

    Thank you guys... Sorry it took a while to get back. I made it through the month and the depression eased up some. I didn't go to the hospital, my therapist dropped me because I didn't show or call (I have a trust issue aanyway). The thing is, I keep having these sometimes random moments of...

    who am I

    Sometimes I dunno who I am Right after conversations, I feel like I don't recognize who was speaking, Why was I speaking, Do I know what I'm talking about? Sometimes I try not to speak to anyone Because I don't know who's taking or why I've said the things I've said. All the time these days.

    suicidal ideation is back

    Depression is getting overwhelming. I keep thinking about planning my death. Planning so that I have time to get some things in order. At the same time, I'm at a point that I'm constantly trying not to break down...a point that I feel like with all the stress I'm under, I'm likely to snap and do...

    Better, but different.

    Just an update. I quit therapy a couple months ago, and medication. I'm doing better dealing with things for now. Less reactionary, less symptomatic. But I've changed. More negative but not horribly so..still not doing things I used to love. My personality has changed. Still have voices but it's...

    Do you have documents/photos/writings/objects/etc. from the time of your trauma?

    No material things. Just this body. Even clothing I've worn just in times where my mind wasn't right f*cks me up.. Everything I could possibly let go from times of trauma, was gone with a quickness.

    Thinking about quitting my job

    I recently quit my job. Id been having a really hard time and trying to get my meds and everything adjusted. I think i definitely need the time ..but i did put myself in a bind financially. I would suggest taking some time off first if that's possible.

    My person seeing what i am..

    I guess i worry that he's going to realize that this stuff affects me pretty much round the clock at times and see that its more than he thought.. And, i dont know... I do know that you're right... I just have such a fear of ppl seeing me on bad days and how they will see me, And ultimately...

    I messed up my job..

    So, I spoke with a manager about what happened. And ive decided to take a couple of weeks to get my meds right (i had been taking half the prescribed dose for a while now). It may be possible i could go back there once my meds are adjusted and im having less episodes. Or, maybe its time for a...

That being said, i don't do any of these right now as great as i do in...

    No sympathy for ppl like me

    I understand thatvtoo. However the first bunch i don't get because i don't think ppl feel sympathy for that type, or for certain types of trauma. This is something im working on personally. . i guess im supposed to eventually not have a negative emotional reaction to certain things. In the...

    No sympathy for ppl like me

    Pretty sure it isn't hatred of anyone. But yeah, its likely i project some self disgust, ect. Likely too that i dislike being reminded of events in my personal life. I legit don't see the point of stories, still. I do feel for ppl n what their going through, especially the hell of ptsd. Im just...
