@desirea I stay to myself as well. I prefer the being alone to lack of trust. Our past sounds similar. I am 66 and my social life is grocery shopping. My depression is treatment resistant (antidepressants do dreadful things to me). I can no longer smoke as it is in the Nightshade family and anything in this family increases neuropathy. The smoking was something tangible and a reason to leave home. I do not break camp unless I really need something. Is what it is. There are things that cannot be changed or fixed and accepting thus has helped me some.
My mind is spinning today. Must be the full moon...grin.
Share as you can. Part of PTSD is angry outbursts at times for no apparent reason. Sounds like your fog is lifting some. Mine started lifting when I was 40 and from there the world became-not sure what.

@yes parus i also have ptsd along with many other health issues and bi-polar. when i have my nightmares i wake up trying to breath. horrible, horrible. now at age 80 it is the same nightmares. no new ones. i do not think i dream or is it the nightmares that are the dreams. but somehow we recover from this until the next time. if you live long enough the nightmares are just a little bit less terrible. hold on keep trying it is still good to watch the tv, eat, and everything else. what really bothers me still is the embarrasment i feel when someone finds out of my bi-polar and thinks i am a monster. the public needs to be educated of bi-polar and other diagnosis.
