I no longer know what to do to get out of this limbo. I got PTSD from my 20-year marriage & those years were only about surviving mentally. Now, I’m 3 years out, but still stuck in survival mode, where I do the everyday chores needed, shopping, cooking as a sole guardian of my kids, but haven’t gotten back the motivation, energy, contentment, joy or feeling of security. I still simply survive, while having pulsating tinnitus, PTSD, IBDS-issues, tensed muscles, teeth/gum, a bad self esteem & feeling altogether low. I do not make any friends this way. I was never outgoing, & even less so now.
