questions help: Thank yous and PTSD. - Help.com

I’m glad I helped some and that you are starting to feel better. I’ll invite people. :)

Done.

Honestly, You’ve helped a lot. There was a time where we chatted a lot. That time was critical. I’ve had really low times, caused by things that I couldn’t talk about.

Our chats made me feel less alone, even if I couldn’t tell you that at the time. I understood things and now I can listen again if ever you need it. I wasn’t able to do that for a long while. Some day, I’ll share more. I just couldn’t do that until now.

Red, you’re amazing! A true inspiration! Hugs. Thank you for the late night talks. Thank you for listening to my rants, drying my tears, and just being there. Thanks for all of the times when I couldn’t really say anything but you managed to find the right words, or just sat there quietly, patiently waiting.

You’re going to go far. I just know it! I’m lucky enough to have had the opportunity to meet you, even if only in cyberworld. Life changes, even if it has to start here, then be carried into the real world. I have so many words to say to you, and not the right place or way to say them. Hugs

Thanks. :) I don’t think that we’ve met. Then again, I’m always anonymous, so you likely wouldn’t know. lol. I read your profile. Good luck with the baby. Congratulations. I’m happy for you.

Siren, I don’t know how long you’ve been around, but I bet that you see people healing in here every day. It’s a great place. I’ve been trying to heal in other places, too. Sooner or later, something it bound to click in. lol. Thank you for all of the help that you give. On here, we don’t always take the time to acknowledge all of the good people. There are many. It’s a great meeting spot. I wish you luck with whatever brought you in. :)

Well, I was never too good at telling people how they’ve helped, bc I’m too private. I usually just say, “thank you”, and leave it at that. :P

For real? I don’t think so. I’m surprised that you said that. ….thought I expected Dani to say what she did. lol. She doesn’t like to get all mushy. :P

When there are good people, it’s important to acknowledge it. I’m trying to become stronger. I need a lot of hugs to get through things, but at least I’m still trying. Most people just wouldn’t understand. Some day…maybe later today even, I’ll share my pain with the people here.

Thank you for that. You’re always kind. You don’t know me, but I always see your heart showing. The people here benefit from all that you do to help them.

Thank you, DJ. You have a great sense of humour. You’ve made me laugh a lot on chat. I appreciated that. It helped me a lot. I was going through some really tough times, especially in early 2010, and late summer/early fall 2010. you helped during the summer/fall. Thanks for that laughs. I hope that school is done for you now, and that you are enjoying life.

You’re welcome. I won’t write my story in shout, but I’d take it to another site some time. I’d share there. I don’t like that shouts aren’t private. I’m healing, but not healed enough to be that open yet. lol

Thanks for always being kind and considerate. Knowing that there are kind people around is what keeps others. That’s what kept me.

So many times, I was on the verge of ending it all, and somebody said just the right thing to make me stop and think. Ending it all seemed so easy. I know that it’s not the right way, I just couldn’t find a way to get through the pain. In those times, I truly didn’t think that I’d make it through. Somebody always came to me with wisdom and a kind word. I’m so thankful. Mitzy, I’m all misty-eyed here, but I want for you to know that you were one of them once. You were the one with the exact right words. Thank you. Hugs

There are so many others.
Morty, Jalex, Stunna, Max, Courty. So many that it would take a long time to mention them all. I can’t be open about all of the ways that people helped, though I try. Even if I can’t be open, it still counts. Maybe one day, you’ll get openness from me. Maybe it’ll come after more healing. I’m trying. One step at a time.

3 keep on working through it you’re a wonderful person and I feel truly honoured and privileged to say that I have known you.

Hugs Jay-lex. :P I knew that that would bug you. haha You’re a wonderful person, too. Thanks for what you’ve said. That was really sweet. Thanks for believing in me and giving me a chance. Others might not have understood, but I’m glad that you did. You’re a good person, and I’m glad to have met you, too. hugs to you.

going to your chat.

Rock and roll….live the dream and welcome the sun..dance like the problems don’t matter..they don’t…you matter:)

Max, you’re always smiling and brightening the day. The struggles that I’ve faced have been monumental, at times. I didn’t always have good coping skills. I have some now, but I don’t always remember to use them. Being here helps me to remember that I’m not the only one who has faced difficult times. You’ve helped me to see the brighter side of things, even when you didn’t know that it was me. I’ve been quiet about my struggles, for the most part, and have almost always posted anonymously. I see the kind words that you speak. I really appreciate that about you. Thanks :)

Yep I doubt we’ve met, but I support you thanking all those lovely helpers. They don’t have to take the time out of their day to answer a post or to care for others, but they do. Thanks, I’m happy for my baby too. I don’t know why you have PTSD, but I’m glad you are overcoming it.

That is a very nice thing to say…thank you.
I wish you wellness.
The sun gives us power:)

Thanks for the support. They don’t need to, but you’re right, it’s nice that they all do. Some answers may seem unconventional, but sometimes they help in an unexpected way. PTSD is a real bugger to overcome, but I’ll eventually make it, or die trying.

((( max ))) That’s a hug for you. You’re welcome. I wish you the same. That’s true; power from the sun. :)

In my experience, you don’t ever really “overcome” PTSD as such.

You just learn to put whatever events triggered it where they belong in your life… somewhere behind you.

When you master that, the Stress fades and is replaced with peace.

I hope that moment comes for you very soon x

You’re right. I struggled with PTSD for many years and have since learned how to come to terms with what happened and not let it disturb me as much as it used to.

I’m called last yesterday for counselling. They called back this morning. They said that it’ll take two weeks to get an appointment. I haven’t been to counselling since spring of 2005. I’m proud of myself for standing up and trying again. Maybe I’ll require more EMDR. I don’t know. Whatever happens, I’m sure that it will help me to be able to put it behind me a bit more. I do ok most times. When I’m not ok, I’m glad to be able to come here for advice from people who might understand.
