Sufferer Trying To Try

[Shae-Ra]

"An abnormal reaction to an abnormal situation is normal behavior." - Victor Frankl

I have so much to say that I, effectively, have nothing to say. I'm here and posting this introduction not because I'm trying, but really because I'm just trying to try. At this point, the PTSD interferes with my ADLs let alone the fact that I haven't been able to go to my job for four days in a row now. I'm probably going to lose my job and I'm trying to find hope in something. The only hope I really have is that I will lose my job and be able to get on disability for a while so I can actually focus on healing once and for all.

I'm in a very negative space right now which isn't necessarily like me. I'm completely defeated.

If you have questions, advice, or whatever I will try to peek out of my extreme withdrawal (I can't even stand music right now even though it's always been my lifeblood and solace) and respond.

I've been there a lot. It's time you stop limping through the pain and reach out to someone for help actually healing not just fighting onward. This failure to go on is your souls way of saying that this doesn't work.

Welcome @Shae-Ra ! Trying to try is fantastic. It's what you can do for today. That really is good enough... as @Wondering_Loner just shared, take the time out to heal. I push myself too... and it never ever ends well... doesn't make me feel better in the long run... happy you are here... and you are doing awesome, whether it feels like it or not...

Welcome. I'm glad you came here & introduced yourself even through the withdrawl. I hope the posts here and support can help find your path out of the darkness.

Sometimes trying to try is the best we can do. And that's ok. :hug:
