I wish this wasn't so incredibly horrible for all of us. Seems like the PTSD almost has a life of its own. It knows that we need people and support, but makes us push people away or feel insecure and don't believe the people that do show up for us. All I want to do is isolate, but at the same time I want to scream to anyone who could hear me that I need help. I want someone to hold me and not let go and take my pain away. I know that's not possible, but I just can't take anymore. I feel so alone.
There is so much pain and it breaks me down more and more each day. I am in so much pain today and all I can think about is how peaceful it would be to just end it all. I'm not saying I'm going to, but the thought is so intense. I really just want to disappear. I already feel like a ghost and that I don't belong here and that I'm just hovering above the world watching life go on without me. I feel like I annoy people with my feelings because they are always so negative lately. I can't "snap out of it" or "just get over it" and I even annoy myself. I have to be honest, I talked to a friend of mine last night that I was in the hospital with after my first failed attempt and she was talking about her feelings and I do care, but I was getting a little annoyed because we seem to have the same conversations and it took a lot out of me to be there for her. First, that is not the kind of friend I am normally. Normally I would be there plus extra and never give up and then I worry that is how people view me. Because I never really am able to say I'm happy or fine or having a good day. Its always sad or something terrible. I don't like who I am now and I don't like having so many "problems".
I wish I could just go back to being in denial and pretending to be happy all the time. I thought I did a great job at that and I laughed a lot. I haven't laughed in so long. Its been about 5 months dealing with this so far and hearing on this site that sometimes it takes years to get through is a little discouraging. I can't/won't spend my "life" like this. I just want this to be over. :cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:
