    This sounds really hard @ellie2000. :( PTSD can impact you in lots of different ways, and it's not uncommon for people experiencing PTSD to also be depressed and/or have thoughts of dying.

    When you nearly hurt yourself yesterday, was it accidental or deliberate?

    It's hard to say exactly why people would be concerned around you ellie, but I imagine the general reason is that they care about you and they're worried for your wellbeing. Particularly if you were at risk of harm in some way.

    If you're having immanent thoughts of dying, remember you can get in touch with Samaritans by calling 116 123, or by emailing jo@samaritans.org. You can also get in touch with The Mix's Crisis Messenger by texting 'THEMIX' to 85258.

    You're not alone. :) It's brave of you to be talking here.
    All behaviour is a need trying to be met.
    The truth resists simplicity.
