Better Today

[Brenton]

Hi everyone
Last time I was here, also my first, I confessed to pointing a gun to my head. Its a week later and I'm doing okay today. I didn't tell anyone about the gun, but I did talk about how depressed I am. But, today is one of those days when I'm okay. Yesterday, I was totally triggered by something and almost crumbled into dust.

I really appreciate the support.
Brenton

Glad to see you back and that you are feeling better. Hopefully when you are more comfortable you will post when things are bad...The support and suggestions are so helpful and help us to not feel alone going thru something... Glad you shared about the depression... baby steps.... that's all we have to do .... hope you utilize the forums when things are not so good... you are not alone.

Hi Brenton, it took courage to come right out and share the fact that you had put a gun to your head, well done, I'm glad that you are feeling better now.

I remember when I was about to take some pills, to end it all, a few weeks after my wife passed away. It was a phone call that stopped me in my tracks.

It was a cyber mate of mine, who lives in Canada, from an ex service site that we both use, who called me out of the blue?

I remember going through a helluva lot of emotions afterwords, the worst of which was guilt?

Did you go through the same emotions afterwords?

Glad to see you back and that you are feeling better. Hopefully when you are more comfortable you will pos...

I keep my PTSD a carefully guarded secret. Not big on the trust department, plus how people treat you once they find out.

I understand how you feel . Trust is a huge issue for many of us...So hopefully you are reading the different articles, subjects and threads and finding the help you need... Absolutely no pressure to share, ever. But do let us know if we can help in any way, you can write a message on our page... if you don't feel comfortable putting it out here... Just glad to know you are here and we respect your privacy.... :hug: here is a little cyber hug in case you accept..if not, that is way ok too !!!
