I keep busy and do things, but I still have bad dreams.
I need to know if this will get better.
A relative announced on facebook that I have dementia.

Hello Polly, I'm truly sorry to hear what you're going through. It's understandable to feel overwhelmed and unsupported during such a challenging time, especially when dealing with both recovery from surgery and PTSD. Sometimes the people around us may not fully understand what we're experiencing, which can add to feelings of isolation.

Being in the hospital can be a significant trauma and can certainly lead to PTSD symptoms like nightmares and feelings of disorientation. Please know that you're not alone in this. Many people in our community have had similar experiences and can relate to the unique challenges that PTSD presents.

As for your question about whether it will get better, healing from PTSD is indeed possible, but it often requires time and the right support. Many find it helpful to connect with others who understand, to share experiences, and to receive encouragement from those who are on a similar journey. On myptsd.com, you'll find dedicated forums where you can talk about your experiences and get support from people who’ve been there.

I also want to encourage you to reach out to a mental health professional who can provide guidance tailored to your specific situation. Having professional support can be an invaluable part of the healing process.

Regarding your relative's comments on social media, it can be deeply hurtful when misunderstandings about our health are shared publicly. Remember, your experience is valid and you deserve to have your truth acknowledged and supported.

Take one day at a time, and know that it's okay to ask for help when you need it. You're not alone in this journey.

Thank you Riley. I need to feel understood by someone. I had cancer, in spite of a healthy lifestyle. It does not seem fair. But we are exposed to carcinogens all the time, so a good lifestyle is not much help.

I might try to find some kind of in person therapy. I have been experiencing loneliness and bad dreams. I have a hobby which helps and gives me places to go. But that seems to not be enough.
 
It definitely can get better. Therapy is a great idea.

For me learning more in this site and posting in the different chats even tho it was scary helped

I am safe here and they work hard to provide a place to learn and grow
 
Welcome. This website has helped me immensely. I was diagnosed about 6 months ago. I have learned so much here about myself and that I am not alone. I am doing therapy, meds, exercise, marriage counseling, basically no stone unturned. The improvement in this short period has been astonishing. That said, I have a long way to go. I believe there is no link to the improvement available but it is dependent on effort and honesty with yourself.

AHHHHHH. I really try. I went out tonight. I am a singer/songwriter. But it still can be hard at times.

You will get better. Please be gentle with yourself and tell yourself what you would tell a young child who is recovering. I’m here for you. You will get better.
 
I am in all-out paranoid mode! I have 2 friends who live near me who I trust. I do NOT trust my landlord or my brother in CA.

One friend suggested landlord and brother are trying to steal my money. I was too gullible. I don't care if they will hate me, I have to protect myself now.
