I'm So Tired

[whitewillow312]

I'm so tired...I've been dealing for almost 5 years now and honestly I don't think I can go on anymore.

Hi whitewillow,

I love your name , it is really beautiful :)

I'm so sorry to hear about your tiredness. Tiredness from PTSD is very deep and (in my experience) manifests itself both physically and emotionally - sometimes it just feels like it will never end, but it does.

My therapist once explained it to me by saying that I was tired because I had been running and surviving for most of my life.

Things ARE better now, once my past was being dealt with I didn't have to dance and run any more.

Hang in there, the tiredness will go away. Be kind to yourself. Taking time out, going for walks, having long baths and generally doing nice things all worked for me while I was in a bad way.

White Willow,

Until I started seeking treatment, I felt this way too. Life can be a hard haul. PTSD is a bone-weary affliction sometimes.

Here's to Dust's long baths - they work wonders on a tired body and mind! Oh, and maybe some of those nice smelly bath bubbles!

I don't know if I can find this site again, sort of a dummy on computers. Hope so - I know exactly what you are feeling. I have PTSD. I recommend different meds please. It is possible to feel almost all better on the right ones. Plus support groups. have had it over ten years. I have weird coping techniques that work well. I carry a notebook because my memory/confusion
is a little shot. No one notices.

What else? I am obsessive about helping others. Weirdly, going into kid jail doesnt scare me at all. I volunteer once a week. Things like that. I have a somewhat compromised social life - essentially, none - my kids. But I have a boyfriend; he is sort of used to me and all this, so I spend time with him, the kids. Go to non scary movies sat night.

Please realize if you can't go on, the meds are wrong, not you. You are fixable! Not curable, but definitely treatable. Prozac works for me. Don't give up. We have something unique to offer the world, I think. There are a lot of people who need help, who others don't understand. You are needed.
