I'm sorry you have been feeling it for a while. What are you hurting about? All the pain, brother. Psychological. Emotional. Physical. It all ties together for me. Sometimes I think I am just a walking heart attack, my soul hurts so much in my chest so much of the time.

Thanks@RussellSue, I appreciate you! I think that is part of my problem. I've had the cold, so I haven't been getting the exercise I usually do. I'm accustomed to 2-5 miles a day. I've just been stuck in the house, biding time. You know that ole country music song? This killing time, is...

Oh brother, just everything. My never ending C-PTSD pain. Being lonely. Having everything going well as far as owning a home and car and all, but just sitting here hour after hour in pain and alone. Thinking it may never get better. Tired of the struggle. You know? I'm just bummed. Feel...

Need some interaction here. I know I'm always trying to encourage people, but I need some help here. I'm hurting bad.

Sometimes cleaning helps. When you just have to do something to escape the pain.

You all seem to get it. It's kinda just getting by, one day at a time. I'm going to the local recreational to get some meds to help me make it through one more day. I wish you were all here doing it with me, instead of just writing about it. I enjoy the company of fellow survivors and...

I I hate it for you. I really do. None of us can really feel another's pain. Except in those rare circumstances when we do. Then we have ours and theirs. I'm headed to the local recreational to get some meds for my pain. I hope you are here when I get back. 🤠

Oh crap! I hate it when that happens. Ugh to the extreme! 🤬 Lol! 🤣 Thanks so much, I needed that today. Remember the old 80s arcade fight game? Mortal....combat! You are ready, girl!

The more you read our comments, the less hyper-focused on your call you'll be. So I'm just chatting you up until you are off of hold! 😉 You are welcome. Maybe you need a weighted hug shirt! You could use that sitting down or standing up! 🌞 How's it coming along? Still on hold? Are they...

I'm sorry for your loss. Losing loved ones is so terribly hard. I can relate to just needing a laugh and a moment to feel human again with some in person conversation. I hope you are feeling better soon! Weighted lap pad, eh? I might have to look into one of those. You've got this! We've...

Ooooh! I hope you get the job. 🤠

Hulk. lol. Bruce finally learned to deal with his "condition." I think this is part of the "secret" to living with PTSD. It may not be anger. Maybe it is. Or it's fear. Self defeating thoughts. Catastrophizing. Avoidance. Just feeling generally like crap all the time. Sometimes I do...

Yup! Can't do silence any more. At least not in the absence of copious amounts of meds. Lol. It sucks. I'm glad I got my power back on too!

I find that, while processing things often feels helpful, it can also be very stressful. If I process too much, too quickly, I can tailspin really fast. Sometimes I just have to take a break from dealing with anything. Super glad you have no plan or intent. I've been there. Hurting so bad...

Just living day to day with C-PTSD can be a real struggle. I've got to keep my mind constantly or be passed out. Not much in between. There are always symptoms to deal with. I rarely ever feel "good." (Unless I'm highly medicated in some way). I rarely ever feel relaxed. Mostly my body is...

It's been a great place for me to journal or just put stuff out there. I hope you are finding it helpful to share here. Gabapentin is an interesting drug. I was taking it for a while, off label, for anxiety. It helped me, but not enough to stay on it. I had to be careful with my kidneys at...

You are welcome. Opiate withdrawal is hard. You've succeeded. It's worth taking note of. I hope you have as good a day as possible. Woodsy1

I've been working 5 months on stopping prescribed benzos. It can be hard as heck to get off meds or change them. You have accomplished a monumental task! Way to go!

Hiya @Digz, How are you doing right now? I'm doing ok. While I've not been into self harm, I can totally relate to the feeling of being isolated and alone with overwhelming pain and darkness of soul that makes existence barely worth living. I'm sad that other people experience this feeling...

This sounds splendid. Can I just use your answer?!? Someone to just sit a while with me. A nurturing soul who will pamper me a little. And who I can pamper in return. 🤗 I hear you! Sometimes I just end up laughing at the most silly things, because I just need to laugh. Well, I'm not your...

I had to give up on should or shouldn't. What is is. It sucks to feel like things are falling to pieces. Waking up in a bad place can set the wrong tone for any day. I hope things calm down for you quickly. Ugh! When my mind is racing and foggy, I can't do much of anything. Breath. Every...

Thanks for the replies everyone. I appreciate your perspective!

Hilarious. 🤣

That sounds like a ton of fun. I was hella into spades when I was in the Army. Desert Shield/Storm.
