Hello. My name is Britt and I am in my 40's. I came across this site while doing research on social isolation and decided to bookmark it for myself.
Currently I am suffering from deep depression and anxiety. They blame the majority on the traumas I experienced as a child. I did have inpatient treatment for ptsd when I was in my twenties. I did well for quite awhile, but the death of my grandmother a few years ago, and the death of my mother last year, has thrown me for quite a loop.
I'm trying to find the right medication combination and therapy to help me. I have felt suicidal, but, mostly, I just wait for death to take me.
My traumas involve the death of three of my friends, at the same time, when I was 7. I was the last person to see them and if it wasn't for my fear of not going straight home after school, I would have died with them. They fell through some pond ice and drowned.
The second trauma was being attacked by a female babysitter and the gang of children she was watching to show her nephew what a little girl looked like.
Third trauma was being attacked my a group of boys from my middle school in broad daylight.
To this day I have a very difficult time with death, trusting, and groups.
I hope to get beyond this for my sake as well as my husband and children's.
I also hope to be able to help others who are suffering.
Thank you for having this group.
