    I am going to lose everything.
    I just wish things were different.

    It's just some things in my life are going backwards, things are just not progressing anymore. My conditions are destroying my life goals, my past keeps creeping up on me and changing my life in new ways.

    Hi @Animalloverb , firstly, thank you for making this post. It can feel extremely hard to reach out sometimes when we're in the middle of a really overwhelming time, and your Community is here for you.

    I'm mindful the staff team have been in touch via DM, and thank you for responding to us there.

    You mentioned that it feels like things in your life are going backwards right now, and you're not seeing the kinds of progress you're really wanting. Feeling that your conditions are 'destroying' your life goals sounds devastating, and I hear a feeling of loss in that almost? Or wanting to protect what you have, but feeling like the past keeps creeping up and seizing it.

    If you feel comfortable sharing, what has it looked like for the past to be creeping up on you?

    We're here to listen.

    This time of year my PTSD gets to its worst point. The flashbacks, the memories, it all just comes and takes over my thoughts. It gives me awful anxiety.

    I have Worked so hard to be where I am now in life and having everything try to take it all away and set me back is awful and really messes with me. I constantly beat myself up about it.

    I can hear how hard things are feeling for you right now @Animalloverb .
    This can be a horrible tine of year, including myself, where things feel much harder. What appears to be a happy time can be an upsetting and difficult time for others! We are here for you when you want to talk some more.

    Hey @Animalloverb, we hear you. I can hear how things are especially challenging this time of year, and are giving you a lot of anxiety. As you say, you've worked ever so hard to get to this point, and overcome lots of challenges on the way, so to feel like you might lose these things is a really difficult concept. Be kind to yourself - you're doing your best to get through each day and these challenges. We're here to support you through this.

    I'm just trying to avoid going into a depressive episode. They are awful and I haven't experienced then for a while and I am doing my absolute best to avoid that happening. I just feel so low and fed up.

    hey @Animalloverb - it sounds like you're going through a tough time at the moment, doing all you can to prevent a depressive episode. you are being so strong right now and we are all so so proud of you. it's okay for you to just take things one day at a time, just take care of yourself and your mental health - even if its finding one small thing a day you can do thats purely for you and your happiness.

    we are always here if you need to talk more or just get things off your chest. but you should be proud of yourself for how far you've come and will continue to go <3
