    Housing discrimination

    I am not asking for barracks lawyer advice. I asked if anyone experienced the same. There’s a lot I have no mentioned that are obvious violations of the ADA and FHA. The assumptions and attitudes here are f*cking pathetic and self-serving.

    Housing discrimination

    Really? As the first sentence states, I summarized quite a bit. And, retaliation is illegal. I also only asked if anyone had been in a similar situation.

    Housing discrimination

    This is a complicated story so I’m going to try to just summarize. My other half and I recently moved in together. We are both combat vets with ptsd. His is more severe and co-morbid with Conversion Disorder and Narcolepsy with cataplexy. I care for him when he has “episodes”. These can...

    Song

    Last year I found a music video that featured a female combat veteran who was trying to adapt to civilian life. There’s a scene in it where she’s at her desk at work fighting intrusive thoughts, loses control, and becomes violent. I connected to that song like I have no other. But, I have...

    Lamotrigine

    It’s the first MS I’ve been on. It seems to be doing it’s job. But, as I said originally, I had a lot going on and everything has stabilized for the most part. I started having PTSD and MDD symptoms about 20 years ago and hadn’t had mood swings like that before.

    Lamotrigine

    It’s been a few months now and I have fixed a lot of stressors. In fact, I’m just finishing up moving in with the man I’m in love with. ? Becoming overheated has become a big problem since I started Lamotrigine. I do the smallest strenuous activity (walking around the store, hauling in things...

    Risperidone withdrawal

    My SO is in the middle of a much needed medication change. Today he’s started feeling “beat to hell” and we think it’s part of coming off of risperidone. Have any of you found helpful ways to deal with the withdrawal symptoms?

    Cognitive block?

    That’s actually a really good idea. I have thought about labeling a lot of things.

    Cognitive block?

    I think it has to do with making decisions. I get easily overwhelmed by having to make too many decisions.

    Cognitive block?

    I am having a lot of trouble with something that should be straightforward and obvious. Well, it’s two related things. First, I keep building clutter. On good days, I can put things back where they belong, but there are too many times that I’m either too worn out or I forget. The bigger...

    Lamotrigine

    I just started Cymbalta about 3-4 months ago. I was loving it, especially since I have chronic pain. About a month ago a series of very stressful events started. I still like Cymbalta but it wasn’t keeping up with the shit that was happening. That being said, my best friend was very suicidal...

    Lamotrigine

    I have had a lot of stressors and hadn’t had CBD for about a month. My emotions have been much stronger than normal. Depression was really bad, have had more episodes of numbness, and love has been overflowing. My current scripts: Wellbutrin Ranitidine Atenolol Cymbalta Meloxicam Hydroxyzine...

    Other Conversion disorder?

    This is absolutely wrong. In fact, Conversion Disorder is almost always comorbid with another psychological condition. The nature of the disorder essentially determines that there is something else. Conversion Disorder is very accurately named. When there is a serious psychological issue...

    Good job, but...

    I am currently in medical leave, but without pay. Trying to find other work and see what accommodations may work.

    It finally happened

    I was just told by my doc that, on top of a slew of other problems, I now have sciatica. So, with the ptsd, arthritis, bad knees, plantar fasciitis, and sciatica, she said that I have to stop the job that I have been doing for 18 years. I am at a loss as to how this works. I know that this is...

    Good job, but...

    I started working at Lowe's a few weeks ago. It pays well and the people I work with are good. But, when It gets close to time for me to go to work, my anxiety starts climbing. The last time it turned to a panic attack and I couldn't bring myself to even call them. Part of the problem is...

    Military Is This Even Ptsd??? Or Just Angry Depression?

    I would strongly advise finding a reliable source for PTSD education. The VA does have classes for family members. Anger is the most common response to fear in those with PTSD. Also, it is extremely common to deny being fearful. You get so used to pushing emotions down and hiding them...

    Undiagnosed Question

    I'd start with a therapist. There are a could other things that come to mind, but an evaluation is what you need.

    It's not a new thing, it just now occurred to me to see if other people do it. Seriously sucks, though.

    Emerg Services Annoying And Weird

    Does anyone ever get in a contradictory state? Like, you want food, but nothing is good. You're thirsty, but you don't want to drink anything. You want to do something useful, but you also want to sleep all day. You want to see friends, but you want to run everyone off. This seems to happen...

    Venlafaxine (effexor)

    This is only when I miss a dose and hasn't happened before.

    Venlafaxine (effexor)

    The weirdest part us that they're not just one. It's a whole series. I will have one, wake up, finally go back to sleep, and then it happens again. This happens like 5 or 6 times throughout the night.

    Yeah. I have memory problems, especially when it comes to specific words and terms. I want to make note cards to help, but not sure exactly what to note about.
