Just want to go sleep

[comb]

My PTSD is giving me so much anxiety and paranoia today. I feel depressed and I just want to go home and sleep. The news is triggering me like crazy right now, and I don't want to be at work. Can someone talk?

Hi comb, Sorry you are having a hard time today. Try to stay in the moment...let's talk. What kind of work do you do?

hi robinrenae, I manage social media for a music website.

That sounds like a cool job. You must live pretty close to work since you walked there. Do you usually enjoy work?

[comb in reply to Robinrenae]

I walk to the train that gets me to work. Which is kind of nice to space out on instead of having to drive. I do usually enjoy work. Sometimes it can be monotonous, but it is work after all. I really just want to paint today. I opened up an online store to sell my paintings this week and i want to focus on that. It makes me feel like I'm moving forward.

I enjoy a train ride myself. Ahh you're a painter, how lovely! I would love to see some of your work. I'm sure it's very therapeutic for you. I enjoy writing, mostly short stories.

what news is triggering you my friend....if it's politics....you will probably do best to private message about it as the site rules don't want religion or politics in posts, but we all talk about stuff privately....

Do not listen to the news. I have PTSD and anxiety and can’t sleep since June. I’m a mess. Have lots of prayer going up for me.

The news makes me worse. Watch funny light things on tv. Nothing heavy or violent
