I am new here, this is my first post. I am trying to find my way through a journey of PTSD and grief. Not doing very well at the moment, on a downward spiral on the roller coaster that is my life now.
i'm so sorry hun first of all. welcome to the site. would you like to share some of what you've been going thru? i sure hope you find some support here that you need. has done a world of good for me. made some great friends that gave me a reason to get up in the morning. looking forward to hearing from you.
Thanks Kathy. I am not very good at this. Not sure what the bounderies are, how much should I reveal or not?
up to you hun. what ever your comfortable with sharing. maybe, what brought you to the group? you can share as little or as much as you’d like. perhaps you have questions? you got the floor…away you go
Next week marks the 2nd anniversary of me coming home from work early and finding my youngest son, aged 22yrs, had hung himself in our home. How have I managed to live 2 years without him. I hate getting up every day, I hate going to work, I hate it when we are ALL together because we are NOT all together. What is the point of all this. Why was he born at all if we only have to suffer the rest of our lives. Nothing seems worth it.
i'm so sorry and though it was not my child i found mom last april so i do understand the deep sorrow, pain and insanity of the whole trauma. the pressure inside my body mind and spirit felt like i was going to simultaniously combust! it is my faith that has gotten me thru to this point. i also got ill shortly there after and then daddy died in july (his was not suicide like mom). i also had/have a great therapist. do you have a counselor or group you attend? if not may i suggest you look into it? do you still feel responsible for his death? still going over in your head i should have this or that or i should'nt have done this or that? i know it well. i had/have to tell myself it's done, it's over. nothing can be changed about it. worst year i've ever lived thru. the many questions i have/had will never have answers. i've had to learn to accept that. again hun my very deepest condolences
