 hey everyone-

please forgive me as this may sound like a venting session. why do people have to play mind games with people who are suffering from ptsd? i just don't understand it. i feel like there are people in this world that you should trust and there is a mutual understanding with. then all of a sudden, something happens in the middle of your crisis and the person whom you thought you knew so well, the one you depend on, the one who you consider your comrade, the one that you turn to during your darkest hours, turns around and stabs you in the back? respectfully, SM

 Hi shadow. Thank you for your posts to me about PTSD. Ya know, shadow, I think paranoia is a big part of either my, BPD or PTSD. I'm sure "they're out to get me", but sometimes find out I was just low anyway". Maybe things are not as bleak as they seem. Give it a day or two. I hope your feelings are wrong.

Love

Gloria

 Hey, everyone needs to vent sometimes! I'm sorry this has happened to you. It's hard to trust people anyhow. Then, when you finally let someone in, it's horrible to be betrayed. Makes it hard to open up to anyone. I understand. Vent all you want. But then, feel better. If it doesn't work out with this person, there are others you can trust. Sometimes we just have to take a chance.

 thanks for the advice guys. i know that this isn't something that i'm imagining though. i've actually had dialog with this above mentioned person and it has become apparent that she just wants to do what she wants to do regardless of the collateral damage involved with me. when i have tried to talk with her about it, i get this "well, i'm sorry you have that perception." perception my *ss!! it all comes down to saying what you mean and meaning what you say. i'm tired of her hiding behind words and twisting a situation to fit her needs when she wants it too. i feel like i have always been forthright and honest with her about everything and if there was ever a problem with understanding anything i would clarify these things. what is so damn hard about returning the favor when people are in opposite positions?

i'm sorry guys that you have to hear this. its just turning out to be a real bad day for me and i'm doing everything in my power to keep the ship from sinking, as they say. respectfully, SM

 OK, now you're not venting.....you're whining.......People, all people, are different. This gal is a word player, she doesn't want to take responsibility for her own actions and decisions. You had best start thinking about YOU and forget about HER!!! You are the most important one here, not her. She is only one person and can be replaced after a bit of mourning.. TAKE CARE OF YOU NOW!!!
