Do you ever feel like you need to scream and cry but ...?

can't seem to let it out?

I have PTSD , Chronic grief & depression for which I am receiving counselling and on anti-depressants. I seem to be really stuck in a deep rut and can't see a way out. I having some really bad flashbacks from a long time ago, which make me want to scream and cry, but my emotions are stuck inside and choking me. This and my inability to cope with day to day things is making me get angrier with myself. I find it hard just to get up.

Have you ever been through this? What did you do to cope or get through it? How do I let it all out?

I would really appreciate any helpful suggestions and answers. Thanks.

When I feel that way in the morning, I get up, have a shower and put on nice clothes. If I do this, I know I look better and so I feel better. There are some chores I find easier than others, such as doing laundry. Recently I have been sorting through old craft supplies to give away. It doesn't matter what you do, but keep going. Sometimes going for a walk is a little too difficult, but sometimes I take my camera and go into my backyard and take pictures. If you keep busy and can say that you accomplished something it will go a long way towards your self esteem. If the lethargy gets you down in the afternoon watch a movie or try reading a book, as long as it isn't violent. (I like a comedy.) Anything where you don't have to concentrate on the plot or characters to enjoy it.
