PTSD and Trauma recovery

Apocalipstic · 05-21-2010, 12:41 PM

Just checking in to say hi!

It's been a rough time lately, all the flooding here has brought up one of my traumas, which was a flash flood that we were caught in when I was a kid. Our whole city is traumatized. Several members here weer trapped in their homes or ended up in shelters.

I totally get not feeling safe, ever. The hypervigilance.

I take my medicine, go to therapy and a psychiatrist and still it is a long road and I worry my friends, family and co-workers will just give up on me. I feel too empty to add the stress of worrying about other people's stress if that makes sense. Like an empty tube of toothpaste. still trying to make sure all are settled and have places to live after the flood.

Vacation starts tomorrow, I will try to check in, but plan to spend as much time as possible just relaxing!
