IM SO ANGRY AND FRUSTRATED!!!! I JUST WANT TO YELL,SCREAM AND CRY. I HAVE NO OUTLET RIGHT NOW.
Im so depressed. No relief in sight....
-Misty
Yesterday I was triggered. It goes back to my family. maybe lack there of. Still dealing and trying to let go of the thought of never really having one. Ive never felt love. I really cannot stand to hear or see anyone with a "normal" family.
Yesterday I decided to do something good for myself. I needed to get out of the house even if it was for a small time. I went to starbucks got me a tea and I went and sat in the park for a bit. I guess I was just trying to clear my head. I saw a loving family 3 kids and a mom and a dad they were what I always wanted. just seeing them brought some memories of my mom hurting me and I cannot deal with these right. I have been stuffing things deep down and focusing on my crummy health. I really really hate my life. I feel like dying sometimes...
For myself, some days I'm doing good just to shower and take care of my pets, but I am grateful for my pets.Then I remember that I had hot water for a shower, and what a nice commodity that is really. You know. Just anything to change my focus.
I hope you get a good night's rest tonight take care of you and your inner child.

I'm sorry you're having such a hard time. (((hugs if okay)))
I think Misty made a good point about looking to find good things to think about. Sometimes it's hard to do. We're here to listen to you if/when you need to vent. I'm always willing to listen.
I hope you have a better time today AZ. Take care of yourself and try to get some rest. Is there anything you can do at home that makes you feel relaxed or safe? Personally I like to wrap myself up in a blanket with a cup of hot tea/cocoa and watch a good movie or play with my rabbit. He gets a little ornery sometimes but he always makes me smile.
Get some rest and take care of yourself.
Rose
Positives in my life right now???? hmmm....
Im thankful I for not feeling nauseaous today.
My animals even though they are driving me crazy today.
Im really sad today. Im dying on the inside. It hurts.
So glad you aren't nauseous today! I just had a severe - but short - stomach bug (food poisoning?) hit me Saturday night, and wow, am I glad that came and went quickly. Nausea is awful.
We are listening, AZ. I know you are going through quite a lot these days. It won't always be this way.
To Rose - Love the blanket and cocoa idea with a movie. I may do that tonight as it's been a rough day.

Im feeling bad today. I want to cry so bad but they will not come out. My heart hurts and I am trying to work thru it all.
I have a dog and cat...they drive me crazy some days. Other days they just want to cuddle with me.They always know when I am not feeling well. Wrapping a blanket around me I do that quite often. My coping mechanisms are not the best right now. I do not know how to self soothe I dont know.... Nevermind....AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! I am in hell...
I cannot remember if you are Christian, but I offer you this: Close your eyes and picture yourself snuggled in God's lap, with is protective arms around you, His healing power encircling you, and whispering some soothing words, "It's okay. I feel your turmoil, too. I know you don't know the future or how this will all come about, but I do, and so please just rest here for now safe in my arms. I know you may have a lot to work through yet, physically and emotionally, and the journey may be painful, but it won't always feel this bad."
Are you needing some grounding: This is 2013. You are grown up now. The monsters from your past are not hurting you now. What color is the room you are in? What do your pets' fur feel like? Can you make something soothing for yourself?
Be gentle with yourself, AZ. I wish I could be there to help with housework or preparing a meal or anything. I am here, though, and still listening. (Most probably others are, too, even if they cannot reply right now.) I know the community is larger than what we sometimes see on the immediate screen.
If there is anything I can do for you, just pipe up and I will do my best. Would love one of DD's stories about now (She has been quiet lately, so I'm a bit concerned for her as well.)

I'm sorry that you're going through all of this, but just remember you're not alone. We're here to listen and help you as much as we can. (((gentle hugs)))
I know what it's like, not knowing how to make yourself feel better, not knowing what to do. I'm sure that at at least one point all of us have felt like that. It is kind of cliche but try to work through it just one day at a time. Be gentle and kind to yourself. Vent to us as much as you want on here. I'm always happy to listen.

Rose
Yes, agree with Rose. Not to sound cliche, but one day, one hour at a time sometimes. If someone here has other good ways to self-soothe, I would like to hear them, too!
.*wraps it around you like a shawl*
Its just perfect for drying tears, or using as a superman cape. (also great for hiding under to avoid monsters and or people flaunting their happiness in your face)
(((((((((((((((((((I hear you - I see you))))))))))))))))))))))))
