| | 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. |  | |

| | Cecilia, Great! Your taxes are DONE!  Now comes the fun part, provided you don't owe, .....you get to wait and receive monies back. A resource, many of us are in need of.
We signed and mailed out the last final document and step to our taxes just this morning. And, to think we had hope to get them done nice and early this year. What a laugh....some wishful thinking there on my part. But, our's are now COMPLETE, too.
Less bad stress, ......room for more positive energies.
Cecilia, felt I had to comment here, because I too share in the exhaustion of doing and getting those damn taxes done. Now it's delight!
Relax and take in some pleasures, rest or sleep you may need now, if you can find it .............................and here's to hoping you'll soon be feeling not quite so tired.

| | I'm feeling happy, excited, pleased, hopeful and a bit tired from some hard enjoyable yard work. On that thought, now I'm feeling hungry. |

| | I am feeling overwhelmed yet still holding onto some optimism! Was quite angry earlier today, but now mostly overwhelmed and tired, yet still able to think optimistically through this fatigue, physical discomfort and workload. |

| | I feel like a weight has been lifted. I got my students' grades in today. I can't tell you how overwhelming it can be to have stacks of hundreds of essays to grade, and the only time for me to grade is at night, which also happens to be the time the anxiety is at its peak. But, they're done, and I am very proud of myself :-) |

| | Today, the numbness has worn off. I've been feeling quite chaotic. Now, I feel like crying but I can't. I have to go to work. |

| | Feeling overtired at this hour. Can't sleep. Have too many thoughts occupying my mind.
Feeling disgusted with the conflict between me not being able to fall asleep and yet the urgency and necessity of needing this sleep in order to accomplish much of what I've so looked forward to accomplishing on my childrens first day back to school after April vacation.
Feeling some shock and feelings of disgust and horror with so much of this world. Perhaps, I'm simply aware and on alert to too much hideous crimes committed and the daily possibilities of more.
Feeling pleased with the micro-world in which we live, ie. our family, home and pieces of the community, yet feeling anxiously held hostage too, tonight by the realities of who and what's preying given any opportunity to do so.
Feeling distrustful.

| | Abandoned!
I feel abandoned by everyone on this forum, especially by Anthony who has stated to me in a private message that he chooses to not reply to me.
How does that assist me in my recovery and learning to live with this PTSD thing? |

| | This forum is not about me Herc, its about community. As I say to everyone here, if your here to get my specific attention, your here for the wrong reasons. I simply do not have time to help people who aren't 110% committed to helping themselves; and even then I do not have the time to help all those who are even. This is not a debate either, I will not respond to this again. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
