    All I want to do is sleep...

    Hi. Due to the fact that you don’t think you are able to stay awake, I’m wondering if it could be medical and not mental health/ptsd/depression or boredom related, particularly the sentence “I hope to stay awake until bedtime now. I doubt I will be able to manage it though.” brought that bit of...

    Trying my hardest is never enough.

    I thought I'd check in with whoever is following this (if anyone is)... I'm still in a great deal of distress. I think I'm trying to think now of distraction techniques and coping techniques. I was thinking I'd maybe write a list of reasons for living-does that sound sensible? I'm finding that...

    Trying my hardest is never enough.

    Okay this is just ummm.... my traumatized brain right now can't really write or think very well so it MIGHT go over the whole place, bear with me here. I'm in a depression spiral again. It's been a month since a family tragedy and it's thanksgiving today and I'm honestly feeling like I have...

    Does ptsd make grieving worse?

    Does ptsd make grieving worse?

    We had something happen in my family and someone died. I had an interview (three interviews in the next week) and in typical Jen fashion decided to go to the interview instead of the funeral in another province. I didn't think I could handle the grief of the family. I kind of wanted it to be on...

    Forum naming changes

    Can I have a little clarification about this: So a flashback is dissociation? It's not a flashback anymore? Or like, can we still call them flashbacks in the forums when explaining? Like if a member titled a thread "I had a flashback today"? It's a little confusing for me. Sorry.

    Offensive name for sandwich

    I do not think that you overreacted. I think you gave him something to think about. He probably thought it was a clever name.... it's really a fine line between being offensive and being a marketing tactic/clever name. I don't think you were wrong; you told him you were offended by it, brought...
