Introduction to me and why I am here

1 Reply

So I am 21 (well 21 in august, almost there!) and I suffer from PTS (post-traumatic-stress), anxiety and depression. I have done for the past year and a bit following a few traumatic incidents in my line of work.

I learnt to deal with it or so I thought and got in a relationship and well, to cut a long story short.. the relationship ended 3 weeks back, I was the catalyst to the relationship ending. I am definitely not the same person I was before all this and now I feel like I am back in square one again with the depression. No motivation at all to see anyone or really do anything other than work and sleep.

Before all of this nothing would really effect me on an emotional level and now I just feel really emotionally weak which I know is wrong to say but makes me feel less of a man.

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this.

Sorry you are going through this, it sucks to be honest. I can totally relate but don’t have any good advice. I had things traumatic happen to me as a teenager, didn’t get the help I needed because I thought I could handle it on my own. I wish I got the counseling back then it doesn’t seem to work as an adult for me. When I was your age I would go out when I felt like it. I ended up meeting my husband that I have now. I only saw him , dated him, when I felt good so he thought I was a happy person. A few years after marriage he had said to me that he wouldn’t have married me if he knew what he’d be dealing with, the depression. I would recommend you seek counseling before getting into a relationship. I do hope you feel better. You are young, I have faith things will work out for you.
