| | Notices | Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now. Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year. |  | |

my neck hurts, back hurts, think I may throw up... hair pulled back for prep. scattered, want to vent at hubs what is on my mind and can't... Chest tight and pains. So I guess a mild attack but not full blown as they can get. But teetering. Tired, angry, so much processing....
Eta- short breath throat closing... yeah kicking in, try to ride it out. Just no frigging puking I hate that part.

My day was sheer agony -flashbacks, re-living memories, confusion, fear, on edge, some relief, pissed off, guilt for not being ment. and emot. available to my kids, some acceptance.....the whole works...tired and tired! |

thanks for the hugs Hope, much needed. Glad hair was prepped, dammit. What can I say. Still keeping it under control if you call it that. I have not fallen down so I guess it can get worse and no meds. Back hurts but feels like icy hot over all the painful parts now. Just want to bang my head and had to tell hubs I need to be alone so he is in the bed room now. Just needed space and did not want to give up my sofa... Hope you fell better soon too this shit sucks. |

Mouse.. guess what?? I got dressed yesterday !! :biggrin: yeah... not only that.. I left the house.. forced myself.. got my little one's hair cut.. mailed a letter.. AND I didnt throw up !! Today's not as good.. but not as bad as some previous days. Hang in there.. its the littles things that we can do to get started. Like getting outta bed.. Thats hard for me, EVERY day. I gave my brain a break.. no reading about PTSD etc.. I DID share info about with my two girls.. so they'd hopefully understand where I'm coming from. Maybe that helped take a load off.. I watched the movie Ghostbusters.. read a Victorias Secret catalog.. watched some cartoons.. just no-brainer stuff.. it felt good. I'm right here with you.. I'm hoping today will be better too.. one day at a time right? I'm thinking of you.  |

I guess the phone call I had with my mother set me off. I felt lost all day. Just aimlessly wandered around. Couldn't focus really. Tired. Managed to get laundry done, but everything else seemed overwhelming. How I felt today reminded me of the days long ago. And I saw how I could easily slip and have a hard time getting back. I admit that I want to numb the pain. And smoking isn't cutting through it anymore.
Mouse - this is why I haven't gotten back to you. I feel inadequate about how to break through.... bc right now I feel run down, tired, and susceptible. |

OMG, nov....everything you said above is like diddo'...any phone convers. with my mother generally always leaves me exactly as you described - aimlessly wandering around, unable to focus.
and then on an on through every word you wrote, ...it's like me too....guess we're not unique in this all. Unbelievable...
Take care Nov, despite everything and in spite of some....take care!  | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
