Ever feel like everything is happening all at once ?

I was diagnosed recently with clinical depression and PTSD due to multiple cases of workplace abuse and have been hospitalized due to a suicide attempt, of which to date I have attempted two suicide attempts of hurling myself out of the open window of our flat. I tried my best to swallow my feelings. My therapist, bless her, has told me as well as my parents both in private that while well-meaning, they had inadvertently placed more pressure on me during an already trying time by me receiving toxic positivity from them . Things have improved significantly since then and we can talk...As a family.It feels good.

I unfortunately due to a bond , as well as needing savings, cannot resign as of yet , but will do my best for the next few months to hang on. As of now, I am on medication and am very grateful for the kindness and concern shown by family and friends.

I would like to thank whitefoxdesigns and ArtOfMattEldritch who have talked to me and been sources of comfort . I couldn't ask for better best buddies. Thanks guys...That is ll I say. Your friendship and just utter love without an ounce of judgement literally and honestly saved me. And both who have encouraged me to share my experience with perhaps others who might have similar problems.

All I can say is, if this experience has taught me...No matter how bleak things are, remember this: The art of living well is the best revenge. If not for the love of family or friends , grit your teeth and live on, live to spite your enemies, with a well-loved life and well-lived one well into the future!

Toxic Positivity vs. Optimism

It is possible to be optimistic in the face of difficult experiences and challenges. But people going through trauma don’t need to be told to stay positive or feel that they are being judged for not maintaining a sunny outlook.
