I'm right where I'm supposed to be

When I finally finished filling out what I could of my profile I felt like I was right where I was supposed to be at the right time. I had been diagnosed with PTSD awhile back and now it is coming back severely after two back to back hospital stays and my mom's threat to divorce my stepfather after SuperBowl. I haven't been sleeping, I really don't like the therapy group moderator that I participate in. I know my mom will never allow me to be off medication or be out of therapy for as long as she lives and at this point I no longer believe I can do it without it, I have surrendered. The funny thing is, I studied psychology myself and I absolutely despise it and refuse to work in the field or take the next steps in furthering my degree because of my own mental issues and the way my family involves themselves in it. I don't know why someone always has to be right, no one can ever just let me enjoy feeling better. Anyway, here I am. Thank you for allowing me to be here. I hope we can help each other.

well surrendering can feel good. I guess yeah I’m so sorry that you don’t like your support group person in charge. That would definitely change your experience in that group. That’s scary having your mom and stepdad having relationship troubles. It can definitely shake up your world when you want things to stay the same and feel familiar and right you know.

I like your name, love music. I love music too. I’ve been planning to memorize songs that mean a lot to me or the words lift me up and make me feel better. That way I can just sing whenever I’m struggling and it’ll help. I’m sure it’ll help, but I always have that goal but I to follow through so I’m going to try to make that a call today and then come back and tell you that I did it. kind of what I wanna do with support groups. Is you tell people how you’re doing and then you do something to feel better and you tell the people and then everybody is nice and supportive about it. You know

so yeah I’m sending you love. I’m glad that you are in a support group even though you don’t like the leader person but maybe you can find a different support group and I’m glad you’re here so that you can say how you’re doing and people can respond and that feels really good
