How to keep going?

[Deleted member 44579]

How do you keep going sometimes when you don't have the energy to try again...

When all you see is the pain and horror of people, how do you keep on going?

Im fed up with picking myself up again.. And trying to live... Without being hurt... Or trusting the wrong people... How do you keep going? Maybe this is me just having an off month.... But any advice greatly appreciated....

How do you keep going?

One minute at a time using every grounding technique I know. And it's a struggle. So I keep reminding myself that it will pass if I can just hold on. And reaching out for help -- here, a vet site I'm on, a crisis line is critical. I don't like that part, but I know it is what will keep me distracted until it passes.

I remind myself -- ptsd runs in cycles. this is just part of the cycle. which means it will pass

Could you be having an anniversary reaction? Any idea what is triggering you right now?

You can do this!!!

Yup, one minute at a time and one foot in front of the other. It might be time to rethink what you think are good trusting people and change that expectation.....

Out of spite and with many fits in the middle while collecting shinies.

Or: Little bits & venting in every way I can, grabbing everything I can think of that builds me up instead of breaks me down. Laughing at everything I can laugh at. Finding wonders in random details and beauty in crap.

Xena, strengthen your defenses physically, psychologically, and spiritually. There are a lot of things out there that want to tear us down. We have to look out after ourselves first. We can help others if we are dealing from a position of strength. We can deal with our antaganists

Time to lose yourself in a Netflix or TV series and binge watch it, complete with snack, drink, and blanket. Watch the program The Ark. It really helped me last week when I was marinating in my own black hole. The program is a delightful series about Heathrow Airport's animal services. And if I was near you, I would come pick you up for a relaxing drive into the country, going nowhere in particular...just listening to music and enjoying the freedom to wander. Do something that you like doing. The PTSD merry-go-round will stop soon and you can jump off, but, I would ask for my money back for such a poor quality ride! Wish I could really help you feel better....

Sorry Xena, I cut myself off! Spelling, that's antagonists not antaganists. And there is a period at the end of that sentence. Xena, get outside and exercise regularly, eat well, add nutrients (omegas, vitamins, coq10, magnesium, trace elements, etc.). It will change your life. I promise.;)

Without being hurt... Or trusting the wrong people... How do you keep going?

I don’t even go there. Being hurt & trusting people is so far down the line from taking care of myself, in this moment. If I’m worried about the future? I’m not dealing with what’s going on now.

Maybe one can do both, it’s been so long I really don’t remember anymore.
