| | 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. |  | |

| |  Returning After Break - Deep Dark Place, Realized I Need Support
Hello Everyone,
Feel strange to come back here. I was in very deep dark depression. Didn't have energy to even come online. I am battling my way out now. I have come to realize I cannot do this alone. |

Welcome back CL... its actually a good sign that you went to that place, because now you just proved to yourself that you can come back out of it... pushing yourself will put you there, but each time you come out, "there" gets much less, to the point where you can push yourself with little to no after effect. Basically, experience makes us better and shows us how to mentally cope with issues again, instead of just getting severely depressed. Learn from our experience, learn from our mistakes... |

It seems like I am spiralling "there" again. I am trying to stop it, by not isolating, but being around people right now, just causes me to panic. I keep telling myself this too shall pass. But I guess lack of sleep makes it difficult to think clearly. Some days all I can do is cry and lay in bed, but deep down I know I have to get moving and get out of the house. It is like part of me doesn't want to get better and is sabataging recovery. Not sure if that makes sense. |

Maybe part of you wants to get better but part of your is a little scared or nervous to? Makes sense to me. Recovery IS scary. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
