Hi thank you, to clarify, I am not looking for a diagnosis, but just was wondering if people can relate. I will seek a professional therapist. I thought the work was done, but apparently not. That is okay, I feel more resilient now, and need to work through it. It’s awful, feeling so awful most...

Is it possible to have PTSD after a suicide attempt? I had a suicide attempt about ten years ago, and the memories still haunt me. I remember feeling numb, just before it, and it wasn’t something that I had planned, it just sort of happened. I am feeling numb in the present moment, and that...

Hi Anthony, This illustrates that there is much more work to be done- although I am ready now. Thank you for introducing some therapy that might work. I have done some CBT but that was ten years ago, recently tried mindfulness (not sure it’s working or it’s enough, seems like it is something to...

This article makes so much sense! Yet at the same time I am confused. The cups diagram breaks it down, and I realize I have many internalized stressors. I work, and that is a stressor in itself, yet often wake up very late on my days off/find trouble falling asleep. Woke up at nearly 3pm today...

Thanks for your response, We are at that point where we are honestly communicating. However it is certainly more difficult than saying nothing and being polite, as I feel that even a disagreement represents a slight or hurts my partner, as he acts upset. He says he will get over it, but it is...

I also thank you for all your information. Like Sammy, I feel like I was ‘trained’, not to be angry, to hold it in, to be passive in my communication and interactions with others. I understand the difference of military training, yet this seems a good word at this time to describe my childhood...

Hi Jade, I am truly sorry for what you've been through. It's hard to wrap our head around the negative messages we receive from loved ones,much harder to heal from abuse. I guess as children/young people we internalize those messages kind of counter intuitively ..but whatever happened whatever...

Hi kxCobra, Welcome! I am recent to this forum myself, just want to say my heart goes out to you, and I can relate. I have been emotional/verbally abused by my parents growing up as well, and the symptoms seem vague as well, such as fatigue, emotional numbness, feeling worthless, insomnia, then...

Thank you all for your support and wealth of information! I have had some therapy throughout the years, CBT, meditation, mindfulness, but apparently not enough. As soon as I think the nightmare is over- it starts again-reminding me I have more work to do..it's ongoing I suppose. I have been...

Hi, I am new to this forum. I don't know if I have PTSD, not looking for a diagnosis or to diagnose myself but this is what popped up on my search for "trauma after suicide". It's a heavy topic to start but don't know where to turn. Been diagnosed with dysthymia, major depression and general...
