Chloe I am so very sorry for your loss. It is an unbearable pain isn't it. I adore my dad I really do. He was the one person that treated me well. It's heartbreaking
Ladee, I will always feel a burden. It's no slant on anybody here. It's because I have spent 50 years being told I am a nuisance, unwanted and a burden to everybody. I just get so scared of scaring people away, of loosing precious friends.
I don't quite know where to start with this. It's my second attempt at trying to write it. I gave up last night...
I feel I am in a total mess and dont know how to move forwards.
On top of the long standing stuff I have going on, 10 days ago my father was rushed into hospital with a very...
@trying2movefwd thank you so much. It's always good to see you too. This place is just amazing it really is. It is all that keeps me going right now. Today has not been great but I am trying to just put one foot in front of the other right now and breathe. That's an achievement right now. Take...
@joeylittle I don't think there is any specific response I wanted. More than anything I just needed to try and write down how I feel but didn't make a good job of it.
I have had so much wonderful support from people here and it just really hit me that I have been taking support but don't feel I...
I don't really know what to call this thread. I don't even know quite how to describe what I am thinking and feeling.
I am experiencing my worst ever spell of disassociation. I am constantly just burdening people with my rubbish. It's not right, it has to stop. My friends have had enough of me...
Dearest Mim, you haven't lost the battle my friend. You are still fighting it. You have just had to find different weapons to use that's all. You will get through this I promise you. I wish I had better words right now to help you more. I so want to be able to help you. Love and hugs
I totally agree!! I am recovering from a broken leg and some pretty rotten spinal injuries and I have been incredibly depressed and anxious most of the time.
The immobility, loss of independance and pain all total screw you head big time. I am a mess right now, you are not alone Hun. :hug: if...
Muttly, please please don't even think about leaving here!! I love seeing you in chat, you always cheer me up.
You don't have to give or do anything other than just be you! We are all in the same situation here, struggling to get through each day, fighting our own demons and issues but...
I am waiting for a referral from my doctors to get an independent therapist but the wheels of the NHS here in the UK turn so slowly it's crazy. I was told the average wait can be up to 12 weeks at the moment so my friend is just trying to keep me sane between now and then. She is actually a ptsd...
I am at a loss right now, I don't know what to do or who to turn to.
I saw my T friend today for what was going to be a therapy session for me but ended up helping her through something awful she has experienced and not getting to talk about anything else. She is my friend and I love her dearly...
Well, I seem to be really screwing things up with everybody right now. Everyone is loosing patience with me and getting fed up with me being miserable and depressed. I am in such a mess, I don't know what to do. I rely on my friends here so much but cannot keep annoying people like this. :cry:
i have been talking to a dear friend on here and have really realised how much I struggle with accepting when I am ill or injured and also in admitting it to others and so seeking help for myself.
I have got in the mess I am in now by trying to not accept that I was ill and worst still not...
Music is my support, my distraction. It's helped me greatly. Learn to play an instrument, pick your favourite band or artist and research them fully, learn all about each of their songs. It's my constant companion and it won't let you down
Joey, just one example is a friend of mine who I have been great friends with for about 12 years now. I have helped her through all kinds of life's dramas, stayed awake until all hours texting or talking to her when she was down and having a bad time. I text her and told her what had happened...
I am driving myself, and probably everyone around me, mad by being so needy all the time lately. I just seem to not be able to function and cope on my own right now. I am struggling with my injuries, had my trauma anniversary to get through last weekend, am signed off work and either stuck...
Thank you so much everyone and my most humble apologies for my miserable thread last night. I was full of anxiety and not coping with anything. The hospital have given me some pretty good anti anxiety meds which are making me feel a lot calmer and better. Because I am calmer I am actually...
@Pixielicious i am not a military person either. The aircraft was owned by my flying club and I happened to be working that day. I had to deal with the whole accident aftermath. It was awful.
Thank you for your kind words
@joeylittle, yes I have fractured my ankle and foot which I had to have reset. In a long leg cast in a raised leg sling until Friday to stabilise it. I get claustrophobic about the cast, get bouts of panic. The hospital have given me meds to help.
@joeylittle thank you for stepping in.
This is an awfully hard week for me and I am struggling greatly so those kind of comments are not exactly helpful or welcome. They just felt like an attack. Thanks again Joeylittle
Jung In The Jungle, when I speak of a decapitated head I speak of the worst part of my trauma incident, the anniversary of which is approaching.
I was very closely involved with a light aircraft crash inwhich the two pilots died. I had to go to the scene of the crash and identify them in the...
