I think sometimes it seem things can't get too good because every time they do, things tend to come crashing down, so we're always prepared for the worst. It makes us anxious, nervous, and feeling like we can't trust good times.

What's going on right now that you feel like you're going to go insane?

Because I'm trying to get better, but now I'm so confused. I don't even know what better is. I say such stupid things. I want to be ok so I can take care of my kids. They need me. I think of clever reasons why I am the way I am. But don't know if its right. idon't have much memories. I don't know why I'm so screwy. My T. isn't magic. I got to come up with the goods. But there are no goods. just theorys that I have. What good are theorys? What if they're wrong? I'm going round and round in circles and I can't see. I don't want to look stupid.

I know just what you mean. All of a sudden nothing makes sense to me. I have no memories of certain years, of stretches of time, things are all fuzzy. I'm confused, and I don't know why things are the way they are. I feel like the more I try to think about it and figure it out, the more confused I get, the more migraines I get, the more physical problems I get. I think we have to trust our T's to know how to unravel our ball of twine, and get us ever so slowly back to where we can function more normally. It took us a LONG time to get this way, and it's going to take us a LONG time to get us functioning. I think the more we fight it, the harder it will be.

It seems to me that every time I start to feel good, every time things begin to look brighter, every time I find humor, I get bashed upside the head, and feel completely useless, completely worthless, and I don't know why anybody would waste their time on me. But my husband loves me, and my kids need me, so I have to hang in there. I hope you will too.

I have a high pitched noise, and cricket in my ears, it's driving me batty! And then I have the chatter too. ADD and tinnitus!

Just wanted to say I'm with you too.

If you're anything like me self sabotage and self undermining are just a way of life to you, so when things start to get good, that part of you can't accept it and starts to dig away at it. GRRRRHHHHH, hate that. Still do it.

Oddly, each night before I go to sleep I try to say a gratitude - try to just list all the things and people I'm grateful for and it seems to help.

Glad you're here and sharing with us.

(((((muffled)))))

 

THX Damos, I'll take all the help I can get. (nm)
