How do I manage and not shut down?

...See more It's a particularly difficult week with my symptoms in the forefront. I'm doing my best to keep anxiety in check and dissociation to minimum but that only goes so far especially once I bottom out from the anxiety spike. Things got worse about 6 weeks ago and have built up since. I'm working on some difficult things in therapy which probably escalates my reactions some as well. I also start back full time work aug 1 along with continuing my full time phd program I started in may. I feel like I have a lot working against me, but I can't drop any of it. I just want to to be able to deal with the symptoms and issues so I don't wake up everyday questioning everything and go to bed wondering if I make any difference or if I'm a waste. Sry...I know in some ways this may sound benign and that I should be able to figure things out...I wish it was though.

...See more It's hard to talk myself down or through most days. I wish I didn't scare everyone off. I feel plagued by past and symptoms but quickly turned away bc of it. People try to listen but I can't seem to get it right. Everyone leaves and I feel bad for asking for help again.

...See more I've been in therapy and on 7cups for so,e time now. Working through the past, but still feeling alone and alienated by my own faults and failures. I'm having a rough time of things right now never wanted to feel like I do but trying to believe all the same that this is a good thing. Problem is I have been losing my support system and I feel like I have no one I can talk to about my past, no one that will take time to understand me, but on the other end of this I'm not sure what to say and not push them away. I'm conflicted and feel so disconnected I can't slow down. I'm wishing I really had someone I could be open with and talk to without being a burden, holding back, or being abandoned to deal with myself bc no one feels I'm worth it. I sound pathetic I know, but I just need to not be so alone and I need help to get through the past.

...See more The last month or two has really been triggering to me. I'm almost back to the anxiety and fear and depression in the aftermath that I worked so hard to escape. I feel alone a lot. I isolate more than I should. I'm just having a hard time. I try when I can push hard enough to reach out to my friends, my support, and here. But I feel like I'm wearing people down or I can't find what to say when I have their attn. it's not fair to keep doing this to them. Therapy is hard, but I keep going, hoping I'll have a day where I don't question life as much and stay in the negativity. I promised I'd fight, and Im doing that.....Im just afraid of everything that is going on inside me and afraid to turn and find no one is here.

...See more i have a lot of "frozen feelings" from the multiple situations involved in my ptsd. i have been working in therapy on this but it is hard for me to place the feelings when they come up. i also tend to dissociate when they come up and I know thats normal with ptsd, but i don't want to do it. i want to be able to work through things so i can move forward. frustrated. had an episode out of know where on sunday which lead to me hiding in my bed not wanting to be here. anyone else struggle with this?
