    I haven’t even spoke to them. I don’t even know what to say. I am upset with them but couldn’t even possibly discuss this at this point. I am also terrified of them. I feel like this is what my family wanted. Me depressed and anxious so I come running back. It is so unfair. I was finally managing life Anita and now I feel I am losing my mind! I’m so damn scared right now!! I wish I had something to bring this down! I am so scared. I am deep breathing. Have a hot water bottle for my kidneys and positive self talk. This is all body right now. Nothing I can do!

    Hi Anita,

    i am suffering so hard from ptsd. The fear today has been real.

    i am so scared right now as I sit in an air bnb room. Terrified at life and everything.

    today is the first time I feel like this. Can’t even think of the other stuff I have been through just so scared of life. Scared I did the wrong thing by getting an apartment here or one at all. What if I get so depressed I cannot afford it. What if I fail and become homeless. I am so nervous all the time but today I am painfully scared of life. I wish I could just have someone to go to!! I think I need to Anita. I can no longer do this alone!

     

    I am on the verge of a breakdown.

    i read fear and scared of life is a major sysmptom of ptsd. It is in full force right now. Trying to ride the wave until it goes away. I need help. My body feels tense and full of stress!

    Hi Anita,

    im not sure what to do. I’m pretty sure it is my ego that will not let me contact them. But I’ve been spending 70 a night on hotels such a waste of my hard earned money! I was tempted to sleep in my car last night. I have an apartment won’t be ready until the 1st.

    i don’t know where I am getting the strength to hang in there.

    i also don’t want to spend 700 for living in hotels for next two weeks

     

    my money is dwindling and I feel like that’s just another stress making me feel crazy.

    life is so rough right now Anita. I wish I had anyone to go to! I’ve been so alone in this journey.

    i don’t deserve this!

    Anita,

    i was impressed as well that I had not gone to anyone but now I am just losing my mind!!

    i haven’t found an apartment. Staying in hotels and Airbnb’s.

    i am honestly losing my mind

    the physical symptoms are worse these days. Severe headaches. Pulsing throughout my body. My back is so tense it hurts!

    This has to be the most stressed I have ever been.

    I don’t think I can even handle this anymore

    i reached out to an old guy friend in a weak moment. He basically offered me to live with him and start a life over in Puerto Rico. It sounds nice but this is just the little girl in me that wants to be saved. The reason I’m telling you this is not because I am going to do it but because I am seriously getting to this point where I am losing me! My negative thoughts and beliefs are rushing in like never before. What do I do?

    I feel so badly like going to someone in my family. It is so sad what happened between my aunt and I. She was always there for and I know it wouldn’t have happened if we didn’t live together. But now there is no turning back. But she was the safest place I could think of. When I turned to her after my mom died she made me feel so comfortable. I would go to her house every night. I just need comfort and safety but I don’t feel that anywhere and can’t think of a place I would. My ex crossed my mind as well. I know these are bad but I am losing it. I feel so discombobulated. How could my life be this bad right now? My money is dwindling and my dreams as well.

     

    Help me ?

    Dear Anita,

    I did not go to family. I have been in hotels and AirBnb. But is getting far too expensive to live like this. I’ve been looking into apartments. I have not found anything yet but have a good one tomorrow!

    Tonight it is 1:30 am and I am up thinking of my mom. I am sad. I miss that woman. She was a kind soul and I’d give everything to hold her and love her. The guilt and blame come and go. I know ultimately it was not my fault. But boy do I wish I could go back and have the knowledge and love I have now so I could give her some. I know now she suffered from ptsd in a bad way. That woman was traumatized! She needed to love herself and she needed to get out of the stress she was living! It is sad for me. I loved her so much and know if she was here she would be someone who may not like my decisions but she wouldn’t turn on me the way my family is. I am sad tonight. Feels never ending when I think of my mom. Life feels so empty without her. And on top of my gypsie lifestyle it is stressful.

    I totally get that but that hurts me so bad! I guess I just want some connection to my family. And I’ve started making a few contacts here in the Chicago area. Also, if I went to Florida I would want it to be somewhere at least a little familiar. I guess thinking of life completely independent feels less love and happiness. I feel that way now. Like where is the love. I feel like my innocence was stolen and my zest for life being a deserving and joyous one was token away from me. Does it come back?

    I do want family involved somewhat in my life but yes am very ready to start my own life. Not sure whether I should commit to this apartment or go to Florida. That’s my issue at this moment. Part of me wants a break from work, life and Chicago. But also am afraid re open wounds from that town but also want to see how I feel there. But also part of me wants an apartment here. Also have to find out where I stay in the meantime. Wish someone could give me the answers lol

    Hi Anita, so today is the 1st and I had to make a decision either to stay or go with my current situation. So here I am car full of belongings and food that will melt and oddly feeling ok about this situation just because I know I wasn’t too comfortable in that situation. I have such a hard time make decisions, especially lately and that’s annoying because this is my life on the line. I’m not really sure what move to make at this point. And I wish I knew how to figure that out. I know my body wanted out of the situation I was in. And was thinking Florida but am also just in a place where I want my own stuff and my own place. I looked at a place I semi like yesterday but so afraid to make that jump as well. Ugh ?

    Hi Anita,

    ive been ok. Just don’t know what I want or what to do! I literally bounce back and forth and it’s frustrating! I found an apartment I loved but it got rented and can’t find one I like. Last night I decided. Taking a week or so off work and then going to Florida. Relaxing and letting go of everything. Then this morning I’m like no I need to save and be stable. I have to let my roommate know if I’m staying a month today and I don’t think I want to. I have never felt completely comfortable here. But will I with any random roommates? It’s 750 a month for an uncomfortable bed and no curtains in room so it’s bright! I get no sleep. I am pretty down this morning but managing not to go crazy.

    I understand and it was not just affirmations helping me. It was boundaries and healing and acting instead of just thinking. It felt so good. I felt like I deserved life and love and happiness. Today I can barely move. I have such negative thoughts. I keep fighting them, telling myself these are not true. I think it’s helpful but exhausting. I just want my confidence and love back!! I don’t deserve this! I know this has to ultimately do with healing but this was brought in by gaslighting and projection!! Please tell me you believe it. Enough people try to make me feel crazy and I know I am not Anita! I was emotionally abused by family recently. Because I was doing well and they wanted to bring me down. I doubt this at times that I get nostalgic but I now this is true!! I can never explain the pure emotional sucking my family did, whether intentional or not I was projected these feelings of shame and guilt and lowness. And now the physical symptoms have worsened!

    Anita,

    i was in a much better place. I was confident and sure of a lot of decisions I was making. I was setting firm boundaries and sticking them. And I actually was loving myself, forgiving myself and having compassion for myself which in turn I was able to give those things to others. It was a good feeling despite the anxiety and depression at times. Now, I can’t say I love myself but I continue saying it daily multiple times. And I just feel so bad. I feel like this inner voice telling me all bad things that I have to talk to myself all day and say those are lies!! I definitely haven’t forgiven myself or others. I have rage and resentment instead. And also insomnia, headaches, neck and back pain. And an unbearable pain that I can’t even name emotionally. Just darkness over me. Can’t experience joy even though I’m trying so hard. I guess it peeks through in moments.

     

    I disagree when you say say I wasn’t healing.

    also yes I know of Cptsd. But now it’s really bad. I’ve experienced flashbacks to everything in my life. It’s quite depressing. I am going to somatic therapy, ptsd physiotherapy and will start Emdr. I am going to a TRE class tomorrow. I a doing everything to get out of this state.

     

    What did you do?

    I feel it is just a trigger and my response won’t go down. I need to get this fight or flight response down!!
