I keep going because firstly I have adopted the mantra : suicide is a long term solution ( infinity) to a short term problem (the shit happening now) - stopping ain’t going to happen and it just won’t work second: I have to! I have to work/ pay bills /clean house buy food you all know the...

Welcome
Honestly from my heart all of you on this forum from all of your backgrounds, all of what you have experienced- I see you all as Legends!!!!!! Wow! What a fantastic group of people- thank you so much
I have been seeing a T now, I’m finally getting help to go over the trauma memories from so long ago- I’m now starting to see things from a different perspective which is really helpful.
1. The nightmares are actually my brain trying to subconsciously work through the trauma , because it’s to...
I have been thinking similar- flashbacks/ nightmares / poor sleep having to revisit with Dr and change of meds / because I was recently triggered - that said it hasn’t lasted and has subsided quicker than in the past- the volume is a bit lower - I really get when you said Grateful Humbled and...
Unusual: I having a I don’t care moment- literally thinking just about the song listening to- razors edge by goanna
Think I need more moments like this - rare!!!
I get the running on fumes- lack of sleep, flashbacks/ the daily grind yea it’s wearing- I’m currently having a coffee outside doing a FTW moment (f*ck the weight) stopped coffee / breathing/ trees: do it again- then back into it- sometimes forcing a break from the grind helps- be good to yourself…
Just try different things- it’s hard but don’t punish yourself for not doing it- next day have a crack get up - breathe deep, look in the mirror- say something nice to yourself- keep moving forward
I was going to ask if you had a dog either way they really help me out with mood / outlook / depression- I find getting out of bed really hard- try making the bed as soon as you’re up - job done , helps me with motivation to continue the day idk- I find it helps….regards
What’s on my
Mind now….. thinking about the work I have to do tomorrow digging/ putting in steel posts- I. Hard rocky clay soil grrrrrr! Don’t they say Embrace the suck- not looking forward to it!
That said happy to be thinking about anything else at this point
Animal Farm - George Orwell - yes read it before many times but it seems to show me something different each time….reading this is like sitting down with an old friend
Thanks Julie, it just seemed like in your post so much of you is given to everyone and everything else leaving you running on empty - let us know if you get something out of it kindest regards
Wow- you are so strong well done to you! Hope you find love , happiness and joy in life- whilst you can’t change the shit that happened in the past - look to the joy YOU ! Have created and found now through your hard work and persistence- credit to you for your strength and resilience- well done
Been having problems over the past few days- very recently as in few days ago I have been advised I’m nominated for a medal for my service - it’s for being wounded in the line of duty - far out : this has triggered the shit out of me difficulty sleeping/ flashbacks/ crying at night / hyper...
Wow you have a lot on your plate for sure- sorry suggestion 1 : please take time out for you - even 10min! But in this time try facing the sun or a nice place outside ,( quiet place inside also ok) close your eyes breath in for 4 out for 4- focus your attention just on your breathing- that way...
WTF! I have a similar problem…..from time to time I have what I called spastic hands! Go to pick up a glass and just knock it over , sometimes an involuntary jerk movement when I’m writing and sometimes just shaking… recently I even talked with my doctor as I was concerned that it was perhaps...
