Wow! This is so powerful. I'm grateful you did send "the SOS" and are willing to share. You are never alone. I've stood at the edge of the abyss more times than I care to count. Unless they've been there, people have a difficult time relating to it. It's some next level loneliness. Keep writing. It's inspiring!

I write authentically about my journey with PTSD so that others may benefit from my experience. I also write about love and longing.

Thank you for your response, Chris. I am grateful to have those who love me and will respond to my SOS. These words came to me after a really hard few days. I hope it will remind others that they can ask for what they need. I hope you come back to read more.
