    Wanting To Be Alone

    I usually wish to be alone after an argument, so as to reflect on it, understand it, and go back to the person and sort it out ASAP. People who don't give me this opportunity, I don't want to spend much time with. I like being alone most of the time (drawing, painting, playing guitar). I feel...

    Can The Pain Go Away?

    I don't think it will necesarily take a long time. Is it a metaphor or a physical feeling: the insides being on fire? Please try not to be critical of yourself right now, and do take as much time to relax as you can find. Make opportunities to relax. How are you feeling today? S. P.S. I...

    I Want To Be A Success Story But Can't Find Help

    I'm sorry, I don't live in NYC. I can only suggest that you keep looking, and keep using this forum at least until you do find someone good. Can you get reccomendations from therapists? It's not a question of 'loyalty', it's a question of keeping your life together. If they're any good, they...

    Does Requiring Certain Prescribed Medicines Cause You Deep Shame?

    Pat, you havn't fallen to pieces. Something(s) has/have been shattering you, and you've been holding it all together like glue for 40 years, that's what's really going on. Now you got to help the glue set. Does that idea sit with you? If you can get your stress down to a manageable level, that...

    Should the Person(s) Who Traumatized You Be Punished for What They Did?

    I keep changing my mind about this argument. One day it's, "the bastards can all go to hell!", the next it's, "mercy is better than revenge/condemnation". I just wish I could feel safe. If all the people who assaulted me were in gaol, I don't think I'd have PTSD. Because every time someone...

    What The Heck Was That? Flashback?

    Yes, when someone tries to pick a fight with me, I get the warning signals and get out of there ASAP (even if it is just a message on a computer screen). Stupud instincts: they don't kick in when I am in danger, and they do when I'm not. Great!

    What To Never Say To A Ptsd Sufferer

    crapthingstosay "was he attractive?" (a 'friend' reffering to rapist) I asked, "what has that got to do with it?" "Well, in court, if they are more attractive than you, they get off scott free, and you get all the blame and costs." "Alison wouldn't do a thing like that. I've known your Mother...

    Does Requiring Certain Prescribed Medicines Cause You Deep Shame?

    Ok here goes, I am not ashamed of being in need of medical care (including medicines), but I am certainly ashamed of the people who put me in this position. I am ashamed of those who think I should be ashamed for needing treatment for a problem someone-else caused me. I am ashamed of those who...

    I havn't completed the book yet, but I reccomend 'The Brain That Changes Itself' to anyone with a Brain, basically because it is about healing the physical brain, which in turn can help heal the emotional aspects, changing the subconscious decisions which are unhelpful into better...

    Undiagnosed Can Anyone Relate...please!

    cr3000 crazygirl3000, I can't relate to the particular experiences leading up to the PTSD, but I do relate to delayed onset of symptoms (and some of the symptoms themselves). In fact, whenever something traumatic has happened to me (usually) I have found myself to cope as if it did not happen...

    What Are You Feeling Today? Not Thinking, Rather Feeling! Can You Identify Yours?

    I feel better than I have recently. When I get anxious, I pull my head into this 'space' where I just think about lovely things... even to the point of being able to genuinely smile (when I'm on my own even). I'm amazed I can do this. I never could do this before. I don't know where it came...

    Two More Of My Aunts Have Tumors On Their Kidneys

    Pandora, my God that is scary! Take extra care of yourself. The family history does mean a higher likelihood, but it doesn't mean you have it, or any one of you have it. Just do the checks, and think of them as precautions if you can. Easier said than done, I know. The human mind is an amazing...
