Re: Forums

The chat rooms used to be very helpful to me, but that was years ago. Now I find the chat room not as helpful. So I understand your statement completely. And using the forums wasn't as intuitive as I remembered, but I'm older and get confused easier than I used to. So maybe that's it. I discovered t...

Re: It's back

Today I'm struggling. Not wanting to do anything, but knowing that since my son is home from college for a week, I have to make his stay comfortable. And of course I want to do things with him. If only I had the energy. This morning we watched a cooking show and lots of YouTube videos for making sus...

Re: It's back

Today I went to the Dr. Surprisingly it wasn't too hard to open up to him. He started me on the only meds that actually worked somewhat. My blood pressure was high... 170/106. Probably nerves but idk. We did blood work just in case something was off there. Next Thursday is my appointment with my the...

It's back

I spent years dealing with depression. That horrible, heavy, can't breathe, can't focus, can't function kind of depression. I tried the typical depression meds, bipolar, atypical, anxiety, everything they could think of meds. They even tried seizure medicine even though I'm not epileptic. Some of it...

Overwhelmed and alone

I haven't been on the forums since 2010. But lately I've been struggling and I have no one to talk with. I'm feeling overwhelmed a bit, and alone. Need a safe place to talk, maybe this will work. I feel like no one will understand, but I don't even know if I care anymore. And now that I'm here, I re...

((( tackingintothewind ))) ((( obayan ))) ((( Warmie ))) thankyou for you kind words. I often find myself in a place of simply not knowing what to say as well, but the heartfelt kindness goes a long way. and so many times, words aren't necessary. A hug, an act of kindness, a listening ear, a shoulde...

Thanks so much Warmie. I really needed your hugs and support. Often I feel that my questions are insignificant, unworthy of even being asked. I have been told so many times to just let it go, get over it, move on with your life. And I have tried. But the dreams come, the scared feelings of being com...

Or even things that make me smile. In general I could say my family, my church, etc. but for this particular list, pe...

The past several days have been pretty good. Actually, the past couple of weeks have mostly been good. I've had a few down moments, a few rough days. But the good has far outweighed the bad. So right now, tonight, i'm sitting here crying like a baby. don't really know why. just feel very emotional. ...

It's been too long since I last came in here to write. I'm sorta lost as to what i need to say. I've been feeling really good. Had some good visits with my therapist, and the nightmares and flashbacks have stopped for the most part. I'm very thankful for that. But there are questions that play over ...
