PTSD is difficult to live with even in the day to day life let alone when you start to try to form new relationships. If your anything like me i struggle to cope with being to close to guys especially when they seem to come on to hard. Doesn't matter how nice they are they can trigger crippling memory's.
As for your family, it's hard for people who have never been through it to understand. The more they try the worse they can make it for the person suffering, terms like "you'll get over it, just give it time" and "the past is the past" does more harm then good even from the most innocent of people.
I hope that tomorrow is a good day for you.
Everyone deals with things differently. Take your time, learn about yourself. Self destruction and alcohol was my crutch but now it's poetry, my fiance and his daughter and crying in the bathroom. May seam silly but that's just what helps me.
Sometimes i get so tired from being up all night with nightmares and/or pain and all i do is write.
Today i'm having an ok day, i'm over sensitive and dropping everything as my hands are bad and my fiance is trying so hard to help but he does know just how to "put his foot in it" he says things without thinking and all i want to do is punch him (though i never would) but i know it comes from a good place.
I also don't talk to any of my family because they are unsupportive but when they made comments it's just not the same innocent comments of someone who doesn't understand it's the kind of things and tones that make you think in their heads they are saying "really, again. just shut up already". And these are backed up by some of the nasty things that have been blatantly said but obviously we are expected to forget all of that...
"forget about the past, your lucky you have a family. Not everyone does" is the favorite. Yes because i want and need a family like that. They made a choice to be like that just as i made the choice to forget about them and move on.
Not all comments made by people are good especially when they don't understand but at least it can help you to know who to trust and who really cares. x

I just dont really get the point. Work hard play hard - get no where. Today I'm feeling really negative. Can't be bothered to get out of bed. I dated this guy about six weeks ago and he threw me over the edge. The situation not him. He was not a very nice person and perhaps I wasn't ready for it. Im suffering with problems with alcohol. I was sexually abused as a child and havent really had the opportunity to get over it. I suffer from PTSD. I dont talk to any of my family anymore because they are not supportive - they just say 'YOU are the one who needs to be rehabilitated in to society' (because of my problems with drink) and 'let it go' 'get over it' etc etc.
I feel really isolated and alone and sometimes I wish I had the balls to kill myself. I dont' want to die I want life to get better but it feels like too much of a hard slog.
Seriously what is the point?
