I'm feeling good, just really tired. So wish i could beat insomnia!

Been with my mom and four sisters sense Friday at 1:00. Feeling my anxiety rising and feeling smothered. Also feeling loved and cared for. Hmmm... Feeling confused by that.

Besides that, feeling:
Sad
Tired
Hurt
And a bit more hopeful as well.

Tonight I'm feeling grateful goingonhope started this amazing thread, with an astonishing 35 thousand 425 views. It's helped so many and is a place I know I can go when things are less than great, and can't really think of anything else to say. Thanks Hope.

Diamonds In The Rough is a classic too. :-)

Shame and humiliation that I can't control my nightmares and my fiancee sees me freak out at night.
Completely exhausted because I've been at my fiancee's house for two nights and I'm trying to sleep lightly (to avoid nightmares).
Guilt that I am alive and wishing that I had stayed still rather than dodged the bullet because maybe my friend would be alive but maybe not.
Guilt. I would write that word a thousand times but I don't want an infraction. :)

A tiny, itsy-bitsy amount of pride that I have finally started to deal with PTSD after years of causing tears and making promises.
A little happiness that my fiancee is happier to be with me again and I have not lost my temper with her for over a month.

Thankful that I have found this Forum to learn from and thankful for the many words of wisdom that I have read and for the responses from people that are actually strangers to me but take the time out of their lives to help. That gives me more faith in humanity.

I feel too stressed out to talk to my close friends. Online privacy settings turned "on", not answering my phone. I feel pathetic when I just drop out like this for several days. Seems like the closer a friend (any friend) tries to get the more I tend to withdraw. I know it's cuz people close to me in the past have been abusers so that's probably why I hide. Yet then I hate myself for being alone. To know me is to abuse me? That's how things hav gone. I am just terrified of people getting close physically & emotionally yet...I hate these 2 extremes pulling me in opposite directions.

Maybe I am crazy or this horrible person & don't deserve good things...

Hi Kiskit,

You're not crazy or horrible.

I wish you could "rewind" life.

ITL, Hang in there! Thinking of you!

High Anxiety today. Need to be done with "family time". Love the best intentions, but they aren't the best for me right now. Don't get me wrong, love and appreciate my family. Been good to have time away with them. Just done now. Few more hours. Then peace, quiet, no explanations, no advice, solitude!

It's an odd feeling...hard to describe. Like I need to pull my head out, but not sure what to do. Like there's a step, but I don't know what. Feeling somehow negligent, or incompetent. Feeling a little remedial, or stupid. Humbled, and feeling somehow disgusted by my own BS.

Spacey
Physically worn out
Confused
Disgusted with myself
Like I should be able to just shut all of this off and move on

 

[Deleted member 6617]

Thankful for the time away.
Still anxious
Still sad
Still confused
Thankful for my family
Still hurt
Still vulnerable
Still fragile
Thankful for a roof over my head

Still regretful
Still ashamed
Thankful for support of friends
Stll unsure of next step

Thankful for my T, my psychiatrist, my M.D. and their persistance and care.

I'm feeling so low right now. So depressed. So unliked. So uncared about. So friendless. So uniteresting. So insecure. So........bitchy.

I don't know why I bother posting what I'm feeling , it doesn't matter anyway.
