PTSD Symptoms You Are Dealing With Now

[Elphaba]

Anxiety. I don't know where it comes from. It just fills me.

Depression.
Anxiety.
Depression.

Not sure what I am going to do tomorrow, or how to get through Sunday, or Monday, or Tuesday or....the nights. I hate the nights, I can't sleep.

Endless depression.

Dealing with anger, sadness and isolation.

Therapy has me reliving a lot of memories through my dreams - or should I be calling them nightmares? My sleep schedule is so ridiculous now.

This is the time of year where a lot of bad things happened - at school, at home. I'm supposed to be creating new, happier memories but instead I'm having to deal with loss again. Dreading the coming days because I know my family will trigger my anger.

I just want to get better.

Depression, Anxiety and Frustration. Christmas is never an easy time for me and now we're right in the heat of it all i want to do is just get away from everything. Last night was bad for me, i kept slipping in and out of memories instead of the sleep i wanted.

Anxiety, frustration. I am mad at my carer and it's making my symptoms act up more now. I am sad and having a hard time with flashbacks the more I think about my carer (they have to do with why I'm mad at him).

Anxiety... I promised myself I would relax while I was house sitting but all I keep thinking about is the stuff that still needs to get done.

Fear... When I was homeless before it was during the summer. I actually kinda enjoyed it a bit. If it was summer I would just go camping somewhere and let my head reset. But it's winter and there is a couple feet of snow on the ground.

Sorrow... It's like I'm morning my posseshions. Those few items I have left. What if I lose them also.

Current symptoms I am dealing with:
Shaking
Isolation
Loneliness
Sadness
Flashbacks on and off
New therapist has me talking through a lot and it's brought the anxiety levels way up as well as dreams, and you put that with the stress of the holiday season and being alone and I've had to go back on the anti-anxiety meds as my usual exercise, meditation and supplements don't cover the elevated anxiety levels

I'm dealling with the far and anger. Guilt for not leaving sooner. realizing the abuse was not my fault nor did I deserve it.

 

[purple butterfly]

I have had constant tingling in my hands and feet for about 5 years.I now know it is anxiety based -- a freeze response. I have been diagnosed with ptsd for about 4 months.
Also constantly:
nausea
emotional numbness
feeling isolated
panic

That wierd confusion you get when things get overwhelming and you try to force accuity. Hate that.

Also have been reverting to avoidance mechanism. For what it's worth, there simply is no easy tool for this. I spent yesterday just putting the head down and NOT avoiding things. Also for what it's worth, if you manage the first one or two, you can use the positive energy generated by this and the confidence to tackle some more. Did not do as much as I'd have liked but something is better than nothing.
