family lack of support

Cutting is not the answer. Your mother is probably feeling so muchpain and she dont now here to turn. PTSD is a crazy thing that we have. There are good and bad times, happy and sad times and our bodies take these in different avenues. Self inflicted pain by cutting is a scream for help. Therepy and talking with others can help you threw this time. Your mother will always be there, she trying to figure things out herself. talk to your therapist and ask them to help you discuss this with your mother, bring your mom to a councelling session, but you have to be ready mentally. I have given my mother reading materials on PTSD and the issues I have to help her understand better. As a parent you want to always protect your child, and finding this out may have her feeling like a failure. Keep your chin up. Things will get better

countrygirl -thank -you for your support ive never had any support unless i paid someone ,and iam broke now so thank you i made it through the night without cutting,iam not going to today,this is my 3 day of staying in my room so i dont have to talk to my mom,and i might say the wrong thing latley i think my mouth has a mind of its own!iam so mad and hurt it scares me

yes my mouth tends to say things the truthful way and how I feel. I worry to much about hurting others feeling, so I candy coat tings when i talk, But when i am that upset i dont care. Are you on meds? some meds make you feel that way, i had issues with lexapro, lorazapam, get online to reaserch what meds they have you on. if you not on any seeks to get some. it is helping me

yes i do take lexapro but only a small dose if i take 10mg i cant fell anything and i dont cry at all no matter what and i cant remember but somtines i think thats easer

I was on 5mg and it caused me to have paranoid thoughts looking over my shoulder and keeping me away from everything. I would seriuosly ask doctor for something else, and you have to ween yourself off them go from 10 down and so forth. and the memory part was the same way. Really talk to your doc about it.

i dont know what i would take if not lexapro .over the years i have tried maybe 8 different anti-depressents i cant take the side affects.its been hard to find anything .also i take nurotin for moods ,i think spelling is wrong,i will see what the dr thinks,thanks for your help

what about zoloft, are you seeing a family practitioner for this or a phyciatrist? try also a homeopathic dr. you probably have some vitamin deficiencys, you can bu melotonin at the store ,

anybody out their that cuts help i realy want to now iam so tired of being sick iam in so much pain my back hurts so much ,i just locked my self in my room becuse i might yell and scream at my mother,i give up,i dont know what to do! my mother is 85 years old and she supports me on ss and thats all the money we have.the drs say iam disabled and i have filed but it takes forever, i need my meds,and a c-pap ,and medical testing for my kidneys and bladder blood, in my pee no,insurance no money ,,and my mother has so so so much pride , she wont let me tell my realitives .how hard we have it ,she will kick me out! i sold my car, i would be on the street with no place to go.some people from my church came over and i told them the water bill is over due and their going to turn it off in 2 days the24th and she told them we were alright,pride comith before the fall ,she wount let them help .i hope some of you guys are doing better than me tonight.

honey you need to go to public assistance, tell them whats going on, goto a walk up clinic most of them will bill you, you have to due something for yourself, you mother is to old to be taking care of you, you need to take care of her. get that ass up and get out there and do something for yourself, locked up in your room aint doing nothing, nobody can help you if you dont help yourself. Go to the pastor at church and ask for help and guidance, ask for an elder that may be able to help and guide you

i have helped my mother all my life my father was a abuser in every way!we had to stick together,but my mother didnt know or chose not look at all the sings of my childhood sexual abuse ,and now my ptsd .have you ever been so depressed you cant move,i guess you havent ,i have so many medical problems i dont think i will make it much longer.the pain is unbearable,i would never judge any of you ,i havent walked in your shoes.
