Nothing Lasts Forever

[Angelwings]

I went from feeling good about my therapy to wanting to die. It seems like I can't escape my past. I know that I have to live for my son.

Im here for you

I know. I feel great today, but that could get turned on it's head at any time.

My daughter would miss me.

I'm so sorry you are feeling this way. I know what it feels like. There's no simple solution so I won't try offering any, but I do believe it's possible to feel good again. Hugs if you want them.

 

[Mishap]

Did something specific happen to make you feel this way? Or is it just one of those bad days?

Either way, I think a lot of us can relate. Here's hoping tomorrow is brighter for you. :hug:

I always had the feeling that when something good happens, something bad is gonna happen as well. That feeling basically never leaves me and I often feel bad when something good happens. My main reason to live is SHE, she gives me the power to move on, for the hope we will be free together eventually. I also have the feel that past simply won't leave me.

I fully see how you feel, and though I myself am a pessimistic and sad person, I will repeat your title, nothing lasts forever, eventually, it will get better.

Well, at least take my hugs and care for you, it gets worse before it gets better, but it's worthy to keep moving on.

Could this be a temporary bump in the road? Maybe things really are going well with therapy but this is a setback along the way? I hope you don't give up on therapy.....if its a matter of it being the wrong type of therapy, you can try something else....if its a matter of being with the wrong therapist, you can try someone else.

Do you share those feelings in therapy? Therapy and recovery goes through ups and downs but you steadily learn about yourself and become stronger throughout. I've found I learn the most when I tell my therapist that I'm scared and confused because I go from good to suicidal so fast. Then we explore that and I leave with hope and it gets better. You are not alone. Do whatever works for you to cope right now maybe take a walk or write a hot shower sometimes helps but hold on. This ton will pass. Never forget to reach out if you need it. The fact that you did that today is a sign of strength.

Right now I'm in that spot too. Then I think of how much I am loved by my girls and how I don't want them to grow up as orrphans. It helps to have their beautiful faces in my head. Thank you for sharing, I know how difficult it is to have one of these days.

I get like that secret. One moment I am feeling ecstatic and the next moment someone happens or I think of something and my mind immediately goes toward unhealthy thinking such as you described. But your title is interesting, nothing last forever. I believe that PTSD is not a life sentence and will not last forever. You will heal from this and sometimes there will be bumps in the road, but that doesn't have to set you back. You are still on the healing path, which is sometimes rocky, but you are still on it taking it one day at a time. My prayers are with you, Rising.
