I'm back, I think.

Hello again, it's been a while, about three years I think. I still recognize a few names. Well, good to see you all again.

Where to begin?
Let's see. I still work at the same crappy warehouse job. PTSD is still there but not as prevalent as it used to be.
There's the good out of the way.

Mum passed away from cancer three years ago, right about the time Covid became a big deal. I miss her.

There's not much else really, so I guess I'll keep it brief.
Not sure what it is I'm specifically looking for here this time around, talking about anything of substance has become very difficult for me, so I guess we'll see what happens I suppose.

Welcome back:). I’m sorry about your loss - I hope that you feel as though you’ve moved through the grief at least a little?

I relate to this a lot! I’m trying to keep it simple, and isolate thoughts or feelings when I notice them. Which isn’t often! But, when I do, maybe that gives me some sort of clue where to go next…!?

Thank you.
This is one of the reasons I'm back, been struggling with this since she passed. Long story short I think I shoved it deep down and carried on, as I tend to do with difficult feelings.

This is a good idea. I think I will try this, it seems like it might be a little less overwhelming.
After reactivating my account I did immediately find myself staring at the forum and asking myself "ok, where the hell do I start?".

It's good to see you again Sideways.
