Max, Please don’t give up. Do whatever you have to do to not give in to this. Talk to a friend, a cleric or go to the hospital. If your therapist or doc isn’t working find another. Just try to hang on. I’m sorry if I’m reading what you say in the wrong way. I was at the end of my own rope. I didn’t deal with my ptsd for years and finally got some help. It had been so long since I had a good day, that I forgot what they were like. I forgot what it was like to have a good day. I had a lousy therapist at the beginning and gave up. I functioned for years and was numb. I couldn’t enjoy anything. I pissed off my wife. I pissed off my friends. I pissed off my boss. I was soooooo angry at everybody, and didn’t know why. For me the problem was that I couldn’t live in the present. I lived for the future, or the past. I would get triggered at work and would feel like I was going to explode. I would get flashbacks, the taste of blood in my mouth, and I couldn’t sleep, but for an hour or so. I finally broke down and the only way out I could see was suicide. A friend killed himself 15 years ago and it still hurts today, that was what kept me from doing it , because I didn’t want to hurt anyone else. It helps me to just accept that I have ptsd. It doesn’t make me less of a man. It is the same as if someone had a physical abnormality, it isn’t their fault. Just do the best you can and don’t be resentful that you aren’t normal. I chose a different path. I am much better now for it. Live for this very moment. Just hang in for today, one day at a time. JohnN MaxHax <hrdware…@email.com> wrote in message
