Feeling Stuck and Alone: My Struggle with Isolation

I just wanted to comment and let you know you’re not alone. My ptsd has been so bad lately I have trouble driving at all. I’ve been doing exposure therapy to work through this whole thing. I went from not being able to go outside without complete panic, to being able to sit in my car in the driveway for a couple minutes to now being able to get to places within 20 min of my house. It’s been months though. Long process for me and I’m also stuck at home 99% of the time. It’s so hard. If you want to talk more about that or anything you can message me though! I hope you’re able to find a good therapist as well. It makes all the difference. I see mine online as well as psychiatrist. Physical symptoms will slowly fade away the more you heal. I know it’s so hard to not give up. Keep pushing forward, you can do this!!

I relate to this so much. The medications really help, but they can only do so much, and there isn't a medication that can fix loneliness and boredom. I'm always here if you need a listening ear, however!

I'm proud of your strength to post this & I support you.
