Because of my nature of PTSD, I have a huge, huge anxiety problem when it comes to abandonment. Last night I was contemplating suicide just to make the pain go away.

What's even worse is the thing that brought me to the edge. I have been dating this guy for about 2 months now, who is absolutely wonderful and kind. He unfortunately has a lot on his plate right now, as his father passed away a few weeks ago, and he holds two jobs. We also live about 30 minutes apart. Anyway, we were supposed to go to a fundraiser put on by my friend yesterday, kind of a tentative thing due to his schedule. On Saturday, he was at some concert and I asked him if he was still going with me the next day. He replied "I will try I promise." And after that he didn't answer my calls or texts all day. I missed the fundraiser and I was having the worst panic attack of my life...thinking either A) he's somehow injured or dead or B) he has suddenly lost interest in me and is just going to completely ignore me forever.

This morning at 5 am he texted me that he had alcohol poisoning the night before and completely was unconscious all day yesterday, and said "You're gonna be so mad at me." I replied with "Can I call you after work tonight? I'm pretty upset." and he said "Don't be upset, things happen." I am now panicking again because he thinks I am some kind of crazy woman stalking him or something when I was just trying to figure out if we were going to go on with our plans yesterday. I have a feeling that he thinks I'm upset because he got alcohol poisoning. I'm just going crazy thinking that I did something wrong and that he will just cut me off (like the rest of all the guys, though different and abusive, have done.)


Please help!!
 
I'm sorry you are dealing with all this right now. I'm glad that your talking about your thoughts of suicide. Do you have a therapist or dr that you can talk to about this? It's very important to get some help if suicide is on your mind.

Please keep yourself safe and talk to your boyfriend about your feelings. Sometimes with PTSD it is easy to assume the worst before you have all the facts. But first and formost take care of yourself.

Hugs for you if you need them.
 
I always assume the worst, because the worst has always happened to me, you know? It's such a hard mental cycle to break. I do have both a psych and a therapist that talked to me today to help with the suicidal stuff.
 
Hi,
Audreeey!
I was dianoised w/ Borderline personality disorder in 2009. I learned that is why I have many abandoment issues. Mixed w/ the PTSD makes it harder. I am sorry what you are going through and I encourage you to stay strong!!!
