It is hard to “push” it out, I guess you would say. I do work hard on it and have discussed having therapy more often. It is just weird because it feels just awful. I know I have to “pull myself out” but it is hard. I’ve learned about gaslighting and all this other stuff, and even though it makes sense, it is really hard to stop it. As far as finances, I just really need to learn to stop spending money. I do save, work at an investment firm, but spend mire money than I should. Right now, as I am writing this, I feel normal and not like ?. I just wish this emotional weirdness would go away. Thank you for not kicking me off the site.Accept you have PTSD, and get to work on it.
@AnnieMae - spinning your wheels isn't going to get you anywhere.
You get help to get out of the nightmare.
You confront the thought, understand that not everything is lost, and you start rebuilding.
Google to learn more about financial planning.
Honestly? You decide to focus on yourself. f*ck them.
Well, this happens to a lot of people. A lot of the time. Maybe it helps to recognize that? Find stories of other people who have climbed out of the holes in their lives? There are plenty of people here trying to do that every single day...
Learn how to recognize cognitive distortions.
You need to try and understand - when you constantly write about how dire it all is, and you never work on finding the small things that are NOT disasters, just for today - then you won't ever be able to see anything except the hole you're in.
What do you want, here? Validation? Sympathy?
Because you can't be supported if you aren't interested in trying, at all. Often, it seems like that.
I'm just one person, and that's my opinion - that's all. I won't kick you off the site because I'm frustrated you aren't challenging yourself. All I can say is I wish you'd get help. Either get it from yourself, or get it from someone in the 3-D world...or better yet, get it from both those places, and get it from here.
