Hi
I am a bit scared and nervous, I have recently discovered I have PTSD and would really like to talk to someone who can understand what I'm going through.
To cut a really long story short I had a very unhappy childhood and then suffered domestic violence for 12 long years, I am now on my own with a 16 year old daughter and am feel very very lonely and isolated and don't know what to do, I'm really scared about the future, don't feel I have one and although my friends are "there for me", they're not really and I feel so alone and sad, I want to cry all the time and the only reason I keep myself going is for my daughter.
My doctor tried to persuade me to take SSRI's or SNRI's and I refused, I am taking 5 HTP which seemed to help at first but now I feel really low and am tempted to take SNRI's but am so confused, I can't make a decision about anything and feel I am on the inside and looking out and detached from everything that is happening around me. My job is very stressful and I'm scared for my boss finding out what I'm going through as he's very much a "get on with it" kind of person and very insensitive and selfish.
Just hoping someone out there will be able to help me somehow, don't really know how, I keep trying to reach out to people and there is never anyone there.
I am so lonely - some please help me
