Who are you addressing? Sorry but I don't think for one minute some random new member is qualified to diagnose (or un-diagnose as it were) another person on this board based on discussion content much less a single thread.
The DSM is a politically controlled device that in many cases is being...
Does this friend understand how triggers work with ptsd? If this is prone to happen again I would avoid this person if at all possible.
I was never suicidal for the longest time, but more recently it has been coming up. I think for me it's just a matter of attrition. The longer this stuff...
You might try some seriphos before the upcoming trips to see if it works for sleep. It's my most important supplement for sleep. No side affects for me whatsoever. I guess it turns off the stress hormones that keep me awake. I have to take it around 9 pm tho. If I take it too late it's not as...
@Kailani yep, me too, losing everything, being in limbo, blek
Are you still in Hawaii? I love it there, the only hard part for me is the temperature, heat is a trigger for me. But its still my favorite place on earth that I've found so far. It probably doesn't seem hot to you since you are...
I chuckled at that.
Maybe I should realize the same thing about injured bird, perhaps masculinity has blinded me to that. Woman can be just as carniverous as men after all. Just in different ways sometimes.
I hate that I struggle letting go of relationships. I hate that it's so traumatic when it ends. I hate going over and over again how I was wronged. I wish I had better solutions/tools for this stuff.
Im pretty open about my PTSD even tho I've know a lot of people consider me broken when I tell them. I'm game to upload a pic. I hope I did it right. Me and my daughter, just last week.
@scotsgirl I hear you, money is the reason I haven't tried much. Everything I've done, I've done on my own.
I've done tapping, visualizations, talking it out with somebody willing to listen.
I've done self guided MDMA therapy. It was very very effective, but it was low dose and I only did it...
@Mallaky , I've been stumbling upon information about kratom lately, probably because I am looking into herbs more and more. Thanks for the review and sharing your experience, I will probably be more likely to try it out myself now.
I'm certainly not trying to talk you into it, but there are different types of cannabis, some cause anxiety, some do the opposite. I've had to learn which strains to avoid, and which are the best for me. I also have to take a certain strain during the day so I can keep getting stuff done, and...
This is my current magic combination.
I hope I don't break any etiquette or forum rules.. I just want to share where some of my success has come from. And please in no way think that I am trying to endorse a specific brand or company.
I have had a huge success with a product called seriphos. I...
That is a terrible thing to experience. :(
Ugh.. see the meds only ever made things worse for me, I swore them off. Now, I'm not advising and I hope I'm not breaking any forum rules, But, I had to go to cannabis because of no good from pharmacology. Since then I've learned a bit about herbs and...
This is a condition which is caused by many various factors revolving around a trauma, resulting in actual physically altered state (the brain is altered, the amygdala is enlarged, the hippocampus shrunk), causing undo anxiety in pretty much any case. I could argue that no matter how bad the...
I currently have a blend of california poppy, blue violet, alfalfa, rose, ashwaganda, mugwort, cinnamon, lavender, and mace. I got it from a local organic herb shop and its working wonders.
If you can find an herb shop that will maka it for you I recommend it.
Welcome @Malaenis I got here just before you. I also just lost my partner, only it's because she got some attention from somebody else. Sigh
I'm sorry you have to experience such a loss whike having PTSD, it's terrible. I've found this community to be very helpful. I wish you the best here and...
I wish I had answers to this, but i know exactly what you mean. Nights like this are tough. I also couldn't get anxiety meds, doctor only wanted me on zoloft. So frustrating. Thats why I went to cannabis. But it's medicinally legal where I am.
Can you make a run to get some bedtime tea? Have...
LOL I like that @Whispering_Truth thank you, all good suggestions
Glass of ice water, great idea @Blackbird89 thank you!
I lucked out, after a couple of hot days (which are glorious and wonderful actually), a fog rolled in and everything cooled off and got "moody" which I love. Feeling better...
