    I just removed my Twitter account because it annoyed/gave me anxiety SO much that you guys couldn't even know! I was very offended by some people and now I feel like I am hated by everyone! My friends don't really care about me that much anymore (or maybe I overthink too much lol). Some people won't answer to my messages for them. Why is the whole world starting to be against me? I wanna die right now! :cry:

    Hello @ULIBABA66 . It is best to remove your Twitter account because it was causing your anxiety and concerns. It is not good to use social media if it is causing you stress or is upsetting you. Your friends do care about you. Sometimes people are busy in their lives, and are unable to be in contact as much as they would like to be. They may be busy with their career work or be busy studying for school. It doesn't mean that they are not thinking of you, it is just that sometimes people don't have the time to be in contact. They also may be busy with their family, or may be unwell. People do care about you.
    I send hugs to you <3 Try to go now and do something that you enjoy doing, to help your mind to focus on something eise that will help you to relax and that will help you to feel better inside. Perhaps listen to some music, or read a book or watch a movie or tv.

    @rosemow Hello! :)
    I just wrote the book project a little more forward, and I think this book could turn out to be even better than I expected eventually, lol! But it's not like I'm too confident about it, I just love to be very optimistic usually :blush:

    I'm currently on blockers, which means I'm transition from a male to a female. When blockers are injected into the body your hormone level rises highly so it can slowly compress all the hormones down, my hormone level is high and I get horrid mood swing and I say stuff and I have to take responsibility because it's my fault for doing these things, I can't just blame the blockers for making me all loopy, I have to own up to what I did. I hate this part in the process, but this will happen for about a week so soon it will go away, it's just the mood swings can be too much to handle.

    Hello @xooemily . It is hard for you as you need to cope with the mood swings that you are experiencing as a result of the treatment that you are having. I hope that the mood swing effects start to ease for you and you feel a bit better. It is a part of the process that you are going through. It is not easy for you, but try to take each day by day. The mood swings will calm down as the days go on.
    I send hugs to you <3 as you cope with all that you are going through.

    Ive been dealing with some pretty bad PTSD things, eh, 2.5 years ago I was shot.
    I was forced to live with said person who shot me, because he was my dads son. (My dad didnt want him to be homeless, dont even get me started on that part)
    I wasnt under the intention that I had to spend every waking moment with this person, and now they are intimidating me among sending me horrible messages, telling me not to tell anyone anything that hes done since that incident.
    This crap is so hard to deal with - especially when my father cant understand why im -still- upset about it all. (Also yells at me because I havent forgave his son. I do not need to.)
    And dealing with an infant when you can barely function without any help (her dad could care less) i dont know.
    This is all just blah.

    Hello @Lovely_Kristy . I send big hugs to you <3 You have been through traumatic experiences in your life, that are continuing to leave effects on your present life. It was not very nice that you have had that ordeal. It is not nice that you are under the ongoing pressure and strain of both remembering the incident that happened and what occurred after it happened , as well as the messages that you are receiving now. Perhaps it would be beneficial to be in contact with your doctor who can refer you to medical specialists or counsellors where you can talk over with them what happened and how you are feeling. They will caringly listen, and provide support and offer help to you. Talking things over with them can help. It helps to express how we are feeling inside.
    It can be very tiring caring for a child. Try to find times through the day just for you, to try to rest or do something that you like doing . It may just be a few minutes to sit and read a book, or listen to music, talk to a friend on the phone,or watch tv, or do something else that will help you to take a break and feel a little better. Perhaps there are family members or friends that could look after your child just for a short time through the day whilst you have a break .
    I send more hugs to you <3

    ULIBABA66, Please stop saying you want to do harm to yourself, you obviously need to seek some help with your problem, it only depresses me when someone wants to hurt themselves when there is more to live for then they even know, I for one intend to fight to live till the very end, cause there is so much to see and do in life, but that is Me I guess, I can only hope you get some counseling that you seem to really need, and start to be happy again, working on your Book is a great start to being happy, I hope that it helps you feel better bout yourself.

    I know a bit of what you are going through. I also suffer from PTSD and panic attacks. I was a police officer and was injured in a serious accident during a pursuit, forcing my partner and me to take disability retirement. Having your life altered as you have, is not an easy thing to recover from. As Rosemow stated, the best thing for you right now is to get some serious counseling which might help you find a way out of your current situation. I view your situation as a very serious one. It frightens me you lack a solid support group. Having people around you who can help with your child and encourage you to go to counseling is extremely important for your recovery. I was fortunate to have had a very supportive and patient family watching my back and helping me every step of the way. You need to find that for yourself and for your child. You deserve a happy life. I would suggest finding a counselor who is familiar with treating PTSD as soon as possible. A counselor, therapist or psychologist will never judge you. They are there for YOU and you only. Everything you say is in confidence. And, believe me, that will set you freer than you feel right now. Trust me. I was in a very dark, lonely place before I finally admitted I needed help. I made a call that I thought I would never have to make. And that call brought light and happiness back into my life when I believed I had lost everything. please, make the call and find someone who will stand beside you while you recover from this terrible thing that happened to you. God bless you for being so brave.

    Yes that is so true, Getting the help you need is the key, and for your child's safety and welfare as well, it is the best thing you can do for your child is to get the help you need, I hope you actually do that for yourself & child, and I hope you and your child will be happy in the end, May god bless you both and keep you both safe, Lovely_Kristy.

    Hello @Paigeisin5 . I send hugs to you <3 in what you have gone through in your life. Thankyou for your kindness and caring words of empathy for lovely_kristy. It is very thoughtful of you to write these words to help, guide and support her. Thankyou.

    Her story struck a chord inside of me, Rosemow, and I had to respond. PTSD, until recently, has been grossly misunderstood. But it is very real and very scary for the person going through it. Thank you for the hugs. I look back at where I was eleven years ago and look at where I am now and thank God I had the strength to make that call. My life is wonderful now. I want that for everyone who suffers from PTSD or any form of mental issue. We who have recovered must help those who are just beginning their journey to recovery to understand it is not their fault this has happened. And there is someone out there who understands their pain.

    So where I live right now is, well, going through a bad deficit financially. So much so that not only are services getting cut, but the government is putting in a mandatory levy that takes more out of those in the lower-middle class than those higher up percent-wise. And now with half the public libraries closing, I am fearing where I work may be next. Not only that, but the amount I'd be paying in this levy could be going towards something such as food or rent. Books are being taxed, grants for families are being cut, kids can't even get a lollipop after a check-up at the hospital- it's that bad! Worst of all, the one we elected said he would not do any of these things.

    I am seriously considering going with my sister in another place. Apparently where she works are looking for people like me, but it would mean an expensive plane-ride and even if I apply, no guarantee that there would be a job for me there. I also don't like living far away from my parents. Right now I can get home every Christmas. Moving where my sister is would mean losing that. At the same time though, it would definitely be cheaper in the long run.

    We still have a couple of months before the so-called changes take effect. Things could change right? I love where I work and live but if all the things they say happen, I seriously feel hurt that I may have to abandon it all.

    I have no memory of this place. Time to start anew I guess
