I'm praying for you. Please please keep on going!
Roz,
Thank you for the prayer and encouragement. I am not one to give up but I do have those tendencies...especially when its so hard to keep going sometimes.

Thank you very much for the prayer
You said "this too shall pass" and while I KNOW you meant this as complete encouragement that what I am experiencing IS ultimately only temporal, to my scarred mind it makes it seem as if you are just trivalizing it. I KNOW you aren't, I really do so don't feel bad that I think this way. Its the brainwashing.
(my own thoughts) : i know things are temporal but somehow it doesn't help to know that. All i can see and feel is the neverending struggle and yet God is drawing me closer to it. "Weep when your friends weep and rejoice when they rejoice" (rephrased and I have no clue where it is)...this is something that I have seen used quite well and at the same time completely ignored.
I have those weep and mourn and grieve with me even though its everyday thing for me right now. Why they do this. I have no idea and think that I'm trash to be treated so well.
I have also seen people look at me, tell me my abuse was "exagerrated or fake" and that I'm just doing it for attention. This, I have to say, hurts the most as I am already sensitive to people's reactions and my brainwashing also adds input, even though I know they are just being stupid.

If anyone thinks you're whiny, I will personally hunt them down and gut them like a fish!
From when I first met you till now, "whiny" never ever crossed my mind.
I am glad I don't sound whiny. I am afraid that I complain to much about my own suffereing...I have some told me to "shut up" when i mentioned it (mang you know who I am talking about) even tho they quickly apologized it still stung.
For some reason, things normal people would just brush off have stayed with me...and I know part of that is PTSD adn part of it is brainwashing too.
Sigh* I am still in the muck, as they say, but I am writing a book on my experiences (Not as ego but as a way for survivors to have hope - even if their trauma was more horrible). Even if i don't "heal" the way other's want me to, I want to be there for others in their trench as they fight it out. I'm fighting too.
I'll prolly be putting my book into the writing forum so i can get some editing done for grammar.. (I'm so bad at it lol).
Thank you again for the prayer..sorry for turning this thread into a long thing again.
Kunoichi
God bless
