I have spent more than half of my life dealing with depression and anxiety. Â I was sexually abused by my father, physically abused, emotionally abandoned, not believed… Â I’ve fought long and hard to overcome the effects of such trauma. Â I have a decent life. Â I have a job; I am a mother and a wife; I have a few good friends; a strong support system. Â I ‘behave’ myself–don’t drink, don’t do drugs, take my medications, and I don’t cut. Â So then why is it that I want to start cutting again; why is it that I wish I could just be gone? Â My counselor, bless him, he’s worried. Â My psychiatrist, she doesn’t know what else to do with the meds. Â I don’t sleep through the night, have terrible nightmares, like when the PTSD was at it’s worst. Â It’s like the wall I had fortified for so many years, the barrier that allowed me to be ‘normal’ has faltered. Â I feel like a fake, a total facade of a human being. Â I don’t want to feel this way. Â I’m afraid, afraid that it might get so bad that I’d do it. Â I don’t want to hurt my family like that. Â And it would almost seem like ‘he’ won, then, wouldn’t it. Â But what if this gets so bad I can’t stand it? Â Thank you for reading this, if you got this far.

the demons are relentless but you can’t listen to their whispers. there are demons of suicide and darkness that prey on us when we’re in a dark place. I bind those demons and release the angels to surround you with protection in your life. keep shining your light, at one point you’ll find your path once again.
Just hang on and realize thetes going to be times when your feeling bad until you fully recovet,I hope you feel good soon <3
please read the bible psalms 34 you have many people that care about you
please don t waste your time thinking on the bad
keep your mind in the good you have done

you are a fighter don t give up many people love you love john
All in due time, shadows will give way to light. Hang in there darling, for everyone that loves you 🙂
Please don’t give up hun. Your family needs you. Don’t let what your father did so many years ago define who you are today.
Stay Strong beautiful. Don’t let the past haunt you live today… Keep your head up high, look how far you’ve gone! I know you can go on longer without thinking suicide is the way to go. Don’t let anything hurt you okay?
Be strong <3

Something I’ve come to realize is that these demons can’t be “killed” they can’t be destroyed. They are immortal. The only weapon we have against them is perseverance and even that does not weaken them it only binds them for a while. I empathize with you….I really do….I hate that so many people…good people…suffer while some of the most evil son of a bitches you could meet are happy go fucking lucky…..Nobody wants to feel like this….its just we do….it isn’t something that can be controlled….I wish I could turn off all feeling but then to do that I would not be human anymore…..It’s scary to think about when the straw breaks the camels back and its just too much….Some people have nervous breakdowns, others may just end it, some become psychotic…. and others just snap and do something horrible….Its a scary thought….I think about this sometimes….”what if I let it all out and explode?” I find it is easier and probably better that I don’t answer that and try to direct my thoughts in other places. I hope that you continue on if not for anybody else for your beautiful children.
