What Are You Feeling Today? Not Thinking, Rather Feeling! Can You Identify Yours?

Raw. And emotionally exhausted. I think I'm finally starting to come to terms with the different kinds of traumas that have given me PTSD and all of the ways all of this has affected me for literally decades. I'm starting to feel a sense of determination.

The traumas might be part of who I am but they won't BE my future. The wounds are there. They will be scars. I will deal with the effects throughout my life. But they won't be running my life and emotions from the backseat anymore. This journey has literally turned me inside out. And I will be better for having finally faced it.
 
I feel broken-hearted.
I am lonely, and cut off from the people I Love the most.

I feel self-deprecating.
I despise myself for being mentally ill and self-pitying.
I despise myself for letting others control my every action.
I despise myself for being too messed up in my head to function in society.

I feel Rage.
I am mad at my Doctor for giving me a medication that has increased my suicidal thoughts and my depression.

But I feel hope.
I will hang on, because I believe I will improve, and I believe I will recover.
 
I'm struggling to keep my head above the flood of flashback goo. Somewhere online I saw a picture with the words "Be careful how you speak to your children, that becomes their inner voice when they grow" and since then I've been fighting an urge to email it to my parents.
