So about me I(34m) am a someone who suffers from compound PTSD do to trauma I received in the past. I had a functioning support network or so I though. Well the beginning of March I lost my mother who was a lynch pin it keeping everything together. I have been struggling to function, I have to force myself to eat, taking care of basic necessities and the such. If I was on admin leave, I do not believe some of the problems I have currently would be a problem. I have called around and most grief counseling groups are two plus months out. While sure signing up for them is a help when they do start, I need something for in the now, to help get everything on track. I already have a doc and s.w through the VA but there is no dedicated counselor for grief, and I would not be able to attend the group because of work obligations since they are already trying to use my illness against me. What can I do to recover my safety network. Currently I have no one I could call a friend, just lots of close acquaintances because I don't ask them about themselves and I don't talk about myself. My father has a hard time dealing with /head stuff/ mainly because of his mom, and doesn't want to discuss those problems. I don't know where else to turn but here, in trying to find suggestions. Just to get life back in order.
