Thanks everyone for the replies they've all helped which is pretty amazing.

Thanks Oliver, I've been experiencing some powerful emotions lol.

Yeah that's definitely been true in my case but it's gotten much better. Going to group Therapy up to 3 times a week, taking meds for depression, started Journaling for the first time in my life. Every unaddressed issue in my life is now staring me right in the face. I'm not sure who I am...

Great Job !!!! Celebrate this victory !!!!!!

Retired six months ago and fell flat on my face. For the most part I only leave the house to go to group Therapy and I've found lately I've even been skipping that. I guess the meds are helping me to sleep and dream better. Dreaming has become my life lately. I decided to get out on the...

Thank you for the response Sues. I've been keeping my journal close to me lately. Sometimes it seems to take all the effort I have just to pick it up when I'm reliving something but hopefully this is all worth it.

Sometimes we don't have all the answers but it's still important to recognize where we are at the moment and go gentle on ourselves. Recovery is not linear. Sounds like the last day or two has been hectic and you needed a recharge. Go gentle on yourself.

I've been Journaling past painful experiences as they come up the last few days. Try to sit with them. Try to look at myself compassionately and without judgement them thank my mind and let it go. To say it's painful and difficult would be an under statement. Anyone else ? Thank You ❤️ 🙏

Welcome !!!! For a start to being social I guess this is a start. Sounds like you're working hard on yourself. None of us are what we used to be and maybe that's supposed to be a good thing. I've been Journaling my past experiences and trying to look at them non judgmental and compassionately...

Thank You. ❤️

I also need having some kind of human company around and don't do well on my own. I guess it's called Codependence.

You Def aren't being a baby. It sounds like you've had some very difficult experiences. I hope you find some peace and love friend ❤️ 🙏

Thank You !!!

I've been to a ton of therapists but honestly I just don't think any of them were qualified to handle the crap I've been through. I've tried and looked for competence and sincerity but how many therapists are really any where close to dealing with cptsd ?

That's what's been keeping me in the house. Keeping me from any social interaction. Keeping me from moving. I've been looking over my life and I'm feeling soo ashamed over it that I'm afraid to walk out my door. I need to find a way to process this. It's going to destroy my life if I don't...

Wow. Thank You. I really needed to hear this information. It's the first significant idea that's been presented to me over these last few very dark months. Puts it in a new perspective. I cannot tell you how grateful I am but a sincere thank you nonetheless. 🙏

My mind shuts down the best it can and I try to shut it down

Yes I guess that could be it. I've been feeling very disconnected from the rest of the world. I guess I always have been. But now not going to work that feeling is very amplified.

Thank you Teasel I'll try though I'm probably beating myself up over this right now...

It's when your mind is refusing to let your body move. I retired 4 months ago and have spent countless hours in front of the TV. Even the most mundane of tasks are pretty painful. I'm both scared and ashamed of myself right now...

Thank You, I hope you have a peaceful happy weekend too !!!

I ate a banana this morning. Because my stomach hurt. Then some pb&j, then a few peanut m&ms with milk. Gotta have my milk with chocolate fix...2 small red bulls... I haven't been all that interested in food the last two years or so.... not like I used to be. Lost about 20 lbs which feels...

Wow. I truly like your style. It's the only answer I've ever gotten that I'd seriously consider. Thank You.

I've been NC with my mom 25 years or so. Right about the time I started seeing how easily she could deceive and manipulate my young toddlers. That was me years ago. She still kept in contact, moving about a block from me, befriending those she met that knew me, finding our phone numbers...

I still work, these have been on my days off. I lost my buddy pooch early this past July. We were very tight and had a special relationship. Spent A TON of time together... these last two years have been relentlessly difficult and his passing just made it more difficult. Found it strange I...
