I Need Someone In Ohio

[BrotatoSalad]

I live in Northeast, OH. Sometimes no one wants to hear me, because it is so depressing, brings them down, drives them crazy, or makes them second guess my sanity when I'm having a full blown attack.

Even if you are not in Ohio... I just need someone to talk to, socially. I have a therapist, but I see her every other week if I'm lucky. She's a very good one, but also very busy. I am in one of the worse places I have been in a while. I have to take a leave of absence from work for at least the rest of this month. It is just very tough. Please, if you are available and out there, tell me.

Here! I'm not in Ohio (though I've probably driven by you on the turnpike about 100 times - have family in Pittsburgh), but can lend an ear. Sounds like you're having a rough spot. Been there, done that, and have the t-shirt. Message me if you'd like to talk. (((HUGS)))

I am in Ohio. I can only think of 2 others in Ohio but have not seen them post for a while now. I am in Central Ohio and never make it up to your area. I am in different circumstances than you. Male, geez, almost 3 times your age and a carer rather than sufferer. Yet, here we both are, on ptsdforum, so we must have SOMETHING in common. Right?

So consider this an invitation to talk if you'd like. Frankly, sometimes I am hesitant to meet face to face and have never posted here to do so. I guess I don't want anyone to mistake my intentions since most are female here. Maybe research my posts and if you feel comfortable, give me a shout.

Hi timbit! I am always curious about people's names. Does timbit mean what I think it does?

I live in South Carolina, but I am from Northeast Ohio (Akron area), and I have family there, so I visit a few times a year. I am open to talking if you would like a long-distance friend. Message me if you'd like. :)

I'm from NE Ohio...I don't like meeting new people (nothing personal), but if you're ever in a bad spot send me a private message and I can at least be someone you can vent to or bounce your ideas+thoughts off of to start off if worst comes to worst, just putting it out there

I'm in central Ohio and I would like to meet and have friends as damaged as I am. :-)
I know that sounds awful, I'm just tired of feeling like the weird one in a room. How do we go about doing this?

Exploring Hope. I hope you do find what you are searching for.

I would just add a comment. I hope that is OK. Perhaps you can enlarge your search. I can imagine that there would be comfort in finding others with similar experiences. I know I felt that way when I first came here. I thought that what I needed was to talk specifically to other married men who were married to a woman who suffered a sexual trauma. I never did achieve that. Not in my search for support groups nor even really here on the forum.

I can tell you that, for me, it's more about talking with others that "get it". I have learned and been helped by such a wide range of people here. Male, female, married, single, gay, young, old. sufferer, supporter. It all helps because there is mo judgement. We all pretty much get it although there can still be personality differences, of course.

I really don't know anything about your situation. Have not searched your posts here or anything. I would never tell you what you should do. I think that, chances are, you have a good opportunity to associate with people with similar circumstances here. But I do hope that you can expand your trust to include all. Not saying you don't, just acknowledging that trust can be a tough nut to crack.

Again, I wish you well on your journey.
