I am reflecting. For me I think part of it is being beat down to low or no self esteem. You get so convinced you cannot do anything right that you just quit trying. Why try one more thing so you can fail again? Just hide in the hole that has been dug for you to live in instead of taking the chance of crawling out by the fingernails one more time.

Thank you for your input. PTSD is epidemic, how to heal is complex and not easily found or understood.
Without proper tools and direction, PTSD can be a formidable opponent. I tried to think my way out and ended up agoraphobic.
Can you tolerate trying one more time with some key wisdom and mindfulness skills?
PTSD will get worse as we heal. Healing was violent internally, highly emotional and anxious as my abuse integrated and let go.
Meditation is a roto rooter, it will dig up unworthiness, anxiety and trauma.
Meditation plots a course directly at the center of our trauma. We are on a collision course, the path less travelled.
I guess my blog and mindfulness group is about hope.
Giving hope to those who think getting better is impossible.
I failed over and over, tried one therapy after another, holistic healers, acupuncture, massage and out of the box cures. Nothing helped, I got worse.
My fathers abuse built a strong sense of determination, I was lucky.
We all have inner strengths and boundless worth inside us.
I would encourage everyone to start meditating, applying mindfulness daily.
Healing is incremental, a little each day.
