(6,323 posts)I feel your pain. I take days off of DU usually when I start getting that way. Save my energy for my little girl!
You are most certainly allowed to replace your anger with something enjoyable, productive and re-energizing. That's the only reason I'm still here.
I say go for it, take care of you, you might be in the place at some time to share your joy and that makes everybody happy.
Sorry for sounding corny but I've been dealing with early child hood PTSD and I'm still going, 50 in a few years. The guy was an adopted me through marriage and made it very clear from day 1 he did not like me, and oh yea, he was a stinking alcoholic.
I've made it my life to absorb as much as I can and I have learned a lot from the 8 yrs. Ive been on DU and I've also failed many occasion here. I'm human. But the most important part is I'm still here and will remain, whether my PTSD get's set off or not. Oh and the thing that sets of my PTSD, believe or not and I'm very guilty of it too, is stupid. From living with a below high school educated father and a mother who's childhood was living on an island, away from civilization. I grew up through the American school system only to be physically, verbally, and emotionally abused when I got home from school.
Sorry for the ramble, it all ended, I stopped the "physical" abuse cause I was a bad ass mutha fuckin 16 year old, but the abuse never stopped, and the PTSD has never gone away.
You got's ta get away from it all and how long is up to you my friend.
Peace
