| When I mourn relationships, it helps me to write about it. I use it as a learning experience. I look for mistakes I made and I write down ways I harmed the other person so I can make amends when the opportunity presents itself. I also write about things the other person did to me and vent to safe pe... |

| Trauma is caused by an event or series of events. It is your physical, mental, emotional reaction to the events. You develop defense mechanisms to keep yourself from getting hurt again.

Because I know people who have done it. It is devastating to the people who survive. Committing suicide causes more problems than just toughing it out until things get better, and they do get better. |

| I understand. I have the same worries. You seem to be functioning well: job, family, friends, in graduate school. To stop worrying simply focus on the present moment. Deep breathing helps. Take deep breathes and focus on your breathing when you get overwhelmed. This will short circuit those negative... |

Have you tried Voc rehab or supported employment? There are federal programs for people with disabilities to help them find employment.
They assess your skills, weaknesses, and interests. They provide guidance and support. They help with job search. |

| An addendum to my previous post: I recommended having a friend hook you up for a few reasons. If you are not comfortable enough socially to have a group of friends, it will be hard to have a relationship that is more intimate than friendship. Focusing on building friendships is a good way to build t... |
