I think linasmom said it all better than I could
linasmom: I voted injury, as well. I look at it as a result of the trauma - the trauma injured my brain, my physical well-being, and my soul. If not for the trauma, I wouldn't be broken.
Anxiety can make you sick in many different ways. I have a spastic stomach caused by stress. Angina caused by stress. Headaches every single day. Yes anxiety can make you sick and cause some pain
This may seem strange to others but I do get extremely anxious if away from my dog for more than a few hours. My mental health org. wrote a letter saying I have to have her with me for my own health and well being. It's true to she is all I have.
I have a mini red smooth dachshund by the name of SusieQ. Named from the CCR song. She just turned ten on Sunday. I don't go many places with out her. If she isn't welcome then neither am I. She is the light of my life!
In no way do I feel guilty. I also understand my siblings behavior and two of them have done some pretty rotten things. They just did as they learned to do from our father
I have heard of someone saying that they had (as in the past) PTSD but with help have gone on to live a healthy life. Only thing is if she is so ok then why is she still getting thearpy after all these years? I say no there is no cure
My father was the guilty party in my family. All four of us kids have PTSD. I believe my mother did to. My father never in all his 94 yrs admitted his guilt. It was always someone else's fault.
I don't think it is that those of us on the forum "don't care or are not interested" in this or any aspect of Anthony's life. I think it is that we don't think in the positive very often and tend to not visit the Success Story Section.
I think Grama-Herc said it all for me there to. Sorry to...
Well I love movies like The Day After Tomorrow. But nothing like the thriller movies. I used to love to read anything by Dean Koontz but can't concentrate on books any more. To bad because I have always loved to read.

It's an ok day...so far. Not great not even that good but ok. Stressing I think about seeing my shrink tomorrow. They have changed the appointment on me three different times and I just don't feel like going:wall:
Sorry I'm of no help I've never heard of it. If you know the station it was on you can search their website for the answer. I know I have done that in the past. That is the only answer I have for you

Woke up this morning in a really bad mood. I felt like I had been on a big drinking binge sp No I hadn't had a drop to drink. Went back to sleep and got back up feeling really great. I'm happy for a change!

I haven't been around very long Nicolette but I still have to say congrats on your year! I hope to make it as far as you. A year here with PTSD is a big thing I believe so keep up the awesome work:clap:

Today I feel like my whole insides are one big knot. A different therapist is picking me up in a bit to take me to see my pschytrist. I don't do well with any change so I feel like I'm about to loose my mind lol Just not a good day. So that is kind of how I'm feeling...
Thanks so much Seeking_Nirvana. I was starting to think I was a freak. And don't worry I'm not leaving! I need to learn and be around people that feel some of the same things I do. I also learn from some that are totally different. Thanks again for your answer. I needed someones input. I owe you...
I knew nothing about PTSD really before finding this place ( thank you for making this place for us all!) Any way I spend so much time each day reading and reading and still reading more and taking notes on things that really hit home with me. The problem has been I have been as mean and angry...
My mother was a good mother and she did the best she could even raising the old mans 3 kids from his first marriage. I took care of my mother when she got sick and also went blind. I took care of her and spent as much time as I could with her right up to the night she died. She gave me love and...
I have missing memories from my whole life. Things from last week aren't even a memory. Since learning I had PTSD only a few years ago but do to my childhood I just figured it was due to Dissociation. I may be right might not be:dontknow:
