These  last 2 weeks, have been torturous, for me., thanks to PTSD.  I had been having a lot of nightmares about my father, and my  ex, who thankfully, went back, to his home town, in Italy, after I was forced to get a Protective Order against my ex .  Both my father, and my ex, abused me mentally, physically, and sexually.  My half-sister’s Birthday  will be, in a few days also.  Triggers, triggers, triggers.
      I witnessed my half-sister, being molested, when I was 6 years old. She was just a toddler. I think that I stopped him, by saying “Daddy, I’m thirsty Can you get me drink now??” He got busted by a 7 tear old.
    My state of mind, is depressed, severely anxious,  terrified.  I have been irritable, defensive,  beligerant & basically, I don’t give a shit about anything.  I feel like telling, every person who tries to talk to me to, Shut The Fuck Up.  My anger within, is so powerful at this time.
      I have been having anxirty, depression, and excessive crying, & Panic Attacks. I cannot  figure out where such  severe  responses came from.  But some things, we will never find the amswer to.
     I don’t understand why, at almost 48 years old, that I can still crumble.   My friends say that I am a very strong person, but I don’t feel strong.  I have attempted to end my life 3 times.  The last time was in October, 2014. I had reached a point that I just couldn’t go on.
     Now, after 3 serious suicide attempts, I realize that I must have a purpous in life.  Our sweet Lord, spared me.   I think that this blog is my purpous in life.

I’m Christine

My name is Christine and I am almost 45 years old. This is my very first blog. I am writing because I feel like I am living in a closet. But I am not gay, I am mentally ill, I have Schizoaffective Disorder. I also have PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder). Not many people know this about me. I have been fearful of “coming out”, because, frankly, the human population has not always been kind to people with mental illness. But isn’t it time that we come to accept all of our bothers & sisters, regardless of their differences?
