My life’s been like hell for the last year and a half. It started getting better, but suffered setbacks the last few weeks. Today is probably one of the most eventful. I’m in the middle of exams in school. I haven’t been able to concentrate in any class, and have been having problems sleeping. So I’ve no idea what’s going on, and will probably fail all of them. ( I’ve definitely failed the exams I did today)
I was walking home today and got caught up in a feud between local gangs, luckily I got away before it got bad...but now I’m petrified, I’m used to hearing about these as I live in a rough area, but this is the first time I was almost hit.
Now I just got a phone call from my mother saying my grandmother isn’t well, she’s been sick for a while now. I’m only starting to get over my fathers death, and don’t want to go back to that dark place I was in.
I just don’t know what to do, it seems like anytime I’m making progress, there’s a massive set back.
Does anyone know what I should do?? I recently finished therapy as my therapist felt I was making great progress, but now I feel worse than ever.
Replies are much appreciated,
Jack
Sometimes things get worse before they get better. I have multiple personality disorder ptsd and anxiety. Then last year i had a pulmonary embolism found out i have a heart issue my thyroid has to come out and i have to see a lung doctor tomorrow and all i can do is hope for the best and thats all you can do is hope for the best. Go back to therapy or talk to someone your close to. Lean on them for support. You will get through it.
Hi Jack,
Sorry to hear what you’re going through! I am so happy to hear that you are doing something positive, like going to school, seeing a therapist and trying to have a good productive life. Life can be a challenge at times, I know how I felt when my parents and my brother passed away. I had many dark periods in my lifetime where I thought it was the end, but somehow Things got better. You hang in there Jack and continue your school and therapy and I promise you’ll get through this dark period.

Our lives are full of hard knocks and that is how we learn lives lessons. I do not know what to suggest we take every day as it comes, try and not look back and let the future look after itself.
When it comes to family loss all we can do is make that family member comfortable and be strong for their final time on this world.
Whatever happens we have no choice but run with what is given.
With examinations etc we do as well as we can, you need to fight your corner and prove to yourself you have done as best you can, that is all anyone can ask of you and if anyone tries to put you down just walk way you will be more a person to do that and will grow strong
Good Luck with your exams
BOB
