Tired

[LostScorpio]

Hello I have Complex PTSD, depression and serious anxiety problems. I am tired of dealing with all of this everyday. I would never inflict harm on myself or others though. I joined this group so I could maybe have people to talk to........if I can help others, that would be great too!

Hi LostScorpio, nice to meet you. It really does get tiring dealing with it daily, I can relate. Its suffocating at times. I hope you're able to find a safe space here. I am here if you ever want to talk.

[LostScorpio in reply to Nairam__]

Sure, we can talk. I read your profile and I hope your self confidence in yourself gets better. Remember, you're just as important as anyone else. 🙂

[Nairam__ in reply to LostScorpio]

Thank you for saying that. Its hard, but I just have to try to ignore the rude people. I hope you know you're super important too. 😊 We can get through this together.

[LostScorpio in reply to Nairam__]

Absolutely. Well do it together. 🙂 Shoot me a message if you need to talk. Anytime.

[Nairam__ in reply to LostScorpio]

Thanks, if you ever need to talk. I am available too.

Hello. I hope you are well. I apologize for not being here to help you guys. I text a lot on my phone because my work does not allow me to get on here much.

You don’t need to apologize at all. I hope you are well as well

I understand this. You are never alone. Intrusive thoughts are sadly a common thing for us with anxiety, etc... Feel what you need to feel, introduce lots of self care and pampering, and keep the faith. I myself, am a Scorpio. As water signs, we are the most emotional. So that along with anxiety is a battle. You got this, friend!

[LostScorpio in reply to LDavis1993]

Yes Scorpios are very emotional and passionate people. I am bad at self care because I generally help others first. Thank you for the message 🙂

You don't mention if you are currently but if you're not in therapy currently you could benefit from working with a therapist that specializes in treating trauma/c-ptsd. Mine used emdr therapy as part of the therapy process which has been very helpful for my healing and reducing my anxiety. Another helpful thing for me was learning that anxiety is a paradox so the more you fight it and try to deny it the more it persists so the solution is to learn to desensitize yourself and to not believe your anxious thoughts. I found the DARE Anxiety book and youtube videos helpful as well as the website/youtube of Paige Pradko. Your anxiety could very well stem from your trauma/c-ptsd but how you deal with the anxiety is the same no matter where the anxiety originated from.

Hi LostScorpio, I am so thankful I am not alone in dealing with my condition. I've battled for years and struggle daily to not give up for my family. Am I the only one who feels like the world is out to get them?
