i'd like to start by saying thanks to everyone who left a comment, i was very supprised to find one from my long lost neice, who i havn't seen or even heard from in almost ten years, it was great to hear from her but unfortunatly she now knows her uncle is a nut.
i have a question. how long will i have to put up with the flashbacks, which seem to be comming more frequently, and the feelings of uselessness? i'm still taking my med's but i don't know why, they don't seem to work. the flashbacks usually leave me shaking and sweating with a foul taste in my mouth. the feeling of lonlyness and uselessness seem to be with me all the time now, and as for sleep, forget it, i toss and turn all night and when i do finally drop off i have pretty bad dreams. it seems like i cant win.
i've said before that once you open the door to suiside and bad thoughts you find you can't close it again, i stand by that comment. some of you guys would know that already, you've been dealing with it for a lot longer than me, does anyone have any idea on how to close that door? i don't, and it's scary.

Once you cross that line, there can be no going back, don't stand rooted on the spot Pete...move past it, move forward....Move away from the door.

I don't know what your past entails, though from experience I know that sometimes flashback occur by poison being removed from your body. If you lose weight for instance, anything that's locked up in your fatty tissue will be released into your bloodstream & do the rounds untill it's removed by the normal process. Unfortunately it goes through your brain hence the flashbacks.
