Hugs to you MAS. I think many of us have probably felt like this before or still are - like we aren't being taken seriously; like our illness is some kind of joke to others, and when one is so depressed, then the thoughts of self-harm, ending up in hospital etc., I think, are natural. I have...

A little better than usually but still not well...took forever to fall asleep; woke up several times during the night; had to get up just when it was starting to feel restful...Sigh.

I don't know about ending it...I would say I sabotaged it before it ever had a chance to begin properly...I did kind of regret it but am a bit more ambivalent these days...

I don't know what to say other than that I'm sorry this is happening to you. I don't do relationships so unfortunately no advice...Hang in there.

It's been ages since I started this thread...but I now remember his face...I don't know if it came to me in a nightmare (I've been having some again) or in a flashback...but there are still things I don't remember. I remember he had a beret on but I can't remember the colour...I just find it...

I hardly ever cry...and even when I do, it's usually more a tearing up than full on crying...And I find it hard to cry over anything that is related to me. However, injustice, hungry kids etc. I am able to cry more freely...though still not often. or if I'm really, really pissed...

All I can identify is that it's not good...Sigh.

This really hits home for me. I was going to do grad school but the beast made me nearly drop out of my BA...so I didn't even bother applying. I am not fit for it...yet. But then I wonder if I ever will be. Hang in there roaminggnome. I truly hope you'll be able to get well enough to go...

Hi. Been there. I got my degree...but didn't really help. Still ended up in a call centre. Only made it one week, then I quit. I am still feeling like I have no future though. I don't know how to get out of it either. Just wanted to let you know you're not alone in feeling that way.

I've been sleeping less again...and I've also had a resurgence of nightmares when I finally do manage to get some sleep. I dozed of earlier this afternoon but was woken up by my cough maybe 20 minutes into it. Sigh.

I've been more triggery and more on edge lately too...In your case, it could be related to therapy...That is to say, sometimes therapy has that effect. I hope that it will get better for you as you continue getting help.

The more I think about this, the more I feel like labels just mess things up (though I understand that some people prefer to identify as x, y or z)...The way I think of myself is as a human being who is able to love/be attracted to other human beings regardless of sex. gender etc. Simple as...

So what...let's blame anyone except George Zimmerman, is that it? I have said before that I feel the prosecution didn't do its job properly. And while I am iffy about her calling Zimmerman a murderer, the fact remains that he killed Trayvon Martin. Perhaps "killer" would've been a more...

With all due respect, Albatross, the Benghazi case is quite different from this. As for the Martin case, who wouldn't feel threatened by a guy with a gun following them in the middle of the night? What does the "dopehead" comment have to do with this? Whether or not he took drugs, he did not...

No worries, intothelight. I should have been more precise. I took your statement to mean something along the lines of well, they're both "of colour" so they can't be racist towards each other. Perhaps I misinterpreted what you were saying. Also, I believe the reason Zimmerman profiled...

Even if we leave race out of this, it is still a fundamental miscarriage of justice. The fact is Trayvon Martin was walking home from a convenience store, carrying candy and was killed by Zimmerman. Why didn't Zimmerman stay in his car, like the police advised him to? In fact, if he was so...

I am not a lawyer and I have not followed as closely as perhaps I could have. I'll just say that clearly, the law and justice are two very separate things. Unfortunately, I am not surprised by the verdict. It also appears that the prosecution mucked this up big time. To my mind, this should...

I miss the same person as in my earlier post. Sigh. :(

Yes, another one here.

Yes, certain things on TV trigger me...mostly war etc. So, whether it's a TV show, movie or the news, it can wreak havoc with me...most of the time. There are times, however, when I'm numb and can watch anything. At times, I even test myself by watching footage of (some) of the actual events...

Gizmo, I'm sorry for your loss. Hugs.

I don't know what exactly I look like...I've never asked anyone but most recently it happened at work...I vaguely recall being triggered. Everything else is fuzzy. I don't know what made me snap out of it as I don't think anyone saw me. When I looked at the clock, I realized I lost about half...

I think I have unhealthy boundary issues too. And you're right, brat17, it does get lonely, even for an introvert.

Yes...I have done this too...in order not to hurt them but also for self-preservation...Many of your posts, brat17, articulate it better than I can here. I tend to push away more when things get more intense/closer etc. As others have said, it goes back to trust. Unfortunately, I am not at a...

Violence only breeds more violence. Sad but true.
