Oh .Christy,
I am sorry to hear that you have to go through all of this. I know how stessful these things can be(court..etc..) my family has had to deal with things like this as well. There is a lot of stress and anxiety that runs in my fam and I have seen my sisters go through some really tough times.
I am here for you if you need anything, feel free to pm me. I can also ask for any advice from my sis, she seems to be coping pretty well now. You seem like a great person, so I know that everything will work out for you and things will be OK You deserve to be happy. Just stay positive and be strong and keep talking to us because we do care and it really helps to express yourself.

I posted on the original thread. ((((hugs))))

me too

I am really sorry you are going through a hard time. Hopefully things will happen fast and you will feel better really soon.

aww hugs major to you girl. are you in any kind of therepy to help you somewhat cope??

*hugs* I care, .christy!
A lot of you girls really amaze me, despite everything going on in your life you are still very strong!!

THank you for all the kind words. It really is very helpfull.

I was in councilling but I always left in tears and really thought it did more harm then good so I stopped going. But I might look into going to someone different and seeing if that helps.

*hugs*

I feel for you. Please take the time to take care of yourself and sleep if you need to sleep and try not to feel guilty for taking time out if you need it to cope. I suffered from ptsd for a long time because of sexual abuse and i was depressed for a long time because of it. i finally got help through counselling and a support group and i know that when you are dealing with stress you tend to slip back into old coping methods. Try to find someone understanding to talk to when you need to talk, posting here is a good idea but if there is a friend or someone you can tell these things to as well thats a good idea too. Just think of it this way. If someone you really cared about was going through this what would you do for them to make them feel better? When you figure it out then do those things for yourself and allow others to do them for you as well. If you have the time and the resources then a support group or therapist is a good option even if it is only one or two sessions. good luck and remember you have been through worse than what you're going through now and survived so maybe you're tougher than you're giving yourself credit for!!

I know my reasons for post traumatic stress are vastly different. I can't imagine what you had to go through.
But I can relate to social anxiety - I am an agoraphobic.

All I can send you is positive thoughts and well wishes.
but please know that anytime you want to talk, vent, someone to scream at to release the tension...
my inbox is always open to you.

I might not have the words to make it right or easy but I can comprehend the manifestations.

i wrote you over in the depression forum!

Thanks guys.

I try to talk to my dh. But it was from before him, and as much as her tries, he doesn't get it. He just can't for the life of him figure out why I don't want to go to court. Even after I've explained it to him.

Thanks again you guys. You will never know how much your responces have meant. I might take some of you up on the offers to talk soon though.

i'm sorry, christy.

you know we're always here for you!

Depression is just awful, awful stuff. And it's really hard to make yourself understood to someone if they haven't really been there.

I'm here as well if you ever need an ear or a shoulder, hon.

I am so sorry this had to happen to you!!!!!!!!!!!! We are here for you! I really hope that you get the help you need! You seem like such a sweet person!!!!!!
Hugz!!!!!!!!!
