Pls keep posting; it really does help to get it out.Do you have anyone (doc/therapist/etc) now that you can talk to? maybe a good idea to reach out to someone, you dont need to fight this all alone.

keep talking
keep posting
you do want to be here, you need to be here and you deserve to be happy
your son needs you
maybe it's time to try the meds again and talk to your doctor
stay safe and keep updating

thank you all for your kind words i really do appreciate it all so very much.

I also don't feel comfortable in groups. I have also been called shy, but it's actually fear because of the traumas I have been through.
Shame is hard to cope with, but, usually it is a result of the abuse you've been through, and not about you as a person. It's not your fault.
I can be hard to reach out. All the conditioning of abuse tells us not to tell. But telling our struggles to someone can really help, can relieve some of the pressure and pain inside.
