I’m confused. PTSD for 40 plus years, childhood sexual assault at 10 and 17.
I’m just going to throw this out there and see if it makes sense? I am one person at work, I am another person at home, I am another when out with friends and yet another person at church, plus add an extra one when...
I’m all over the place with music.
Iron Maiden- love the historical ballads
Pink Floyd- what’s not to love
ZZ Top-southern blues
Marty Robbins- cowboy ballads for a time forgotten
Johnny Cash- enough said
Roger Whitaker-I know but love the song “ I don’t believe in IF anymore” soothes my...
For no apparent reason you go on a tirade about everything that ticks you off. 30 seconds later it’s like nothing happen.
This sux, especially for those that support.
I don’t believe in if anymore.
Roger Whitaker
Heard part of it on a show and looked it up. I was blown away by the simplicity of the lyrics. Now if I could stop the “if’s” running thru my head I might sleep or at least relax.
Weeds and twigs- love it!!!!:happy:
I’m doing the magnesium at night and natural supplements in the morning. Using essential oils all day. They have made a difference when I remember to use them. :O_o::whistling:
I hear what your saying. My belief in the polygraph is that it has only two purposes. 1. To interrogate confessions 2. To look at a stress response.
To believe they can tell a truth from a lie is believing in the tooth fairy and the Easter bunny. I would like to get the job, it would entail me...
Mmmm do you like puppies. If puppies or dogs are a trigger then the outcome would be???? The belief that all triggers have something to do directly with the trauma is ridiculous. Fresh smell of apple pie, mmm so good, reminds me of my mom cooking when I was young, which brings up the memory of...
My hyper vigilance goes nutz and add my distrust of people doesn’t help. There has got to be something out there. Needle in a hay stack thing.
Polygraph sites everyone is basically suitable except Axis 1 disorders which is PTSD. , but it depends on the severity. Whatever the heck that means. I...
employment opportunity but I have to take a polygraph and pass. Not worried about the questions per se but passing. I have no faith in this contraption but still have to pass or show reasons to be unsuitable. They (polygraph people) don’t seem to understand PTSD and how it effects said...
I’ve been very open since being diagnosed. I’ve had wonderful support, tho most don’t really have a grasp of what battles are going on behind my eyes.
I also wear a med-alert bracelet for PTSD. It kind of serves a couple purposes. 1. It allows me to share, struggles and accomplishments, slips...
Probably heard this....
When watching” Band of Brothers” “We Were Soldiers” “ Blackhawk Down” you feel inspired and feel better. You also have to remind yourself to breath.
My apology for not knowing the complete story. But I will say I was not supporting him in anyway. I was raped at knife point when I was a very young boy.
This man (loosely use that term) should be in a cell.
My post was just pointing out judgments.

Understand your plight. Sorry to hear. I have a buddy who was 19 and his girlfriend was 16. Dad wasn't happy and had him arrested. He's now a registered sex offender for life. Before we judge too harshly a label someone has perhaps we should know more. Because of my PTSD I have had so called...
I agree with the statement that high functioning just means we conceal the horror better then others. I was recently diagnosed, as it turns out I've been dealing with ptsd for 40 years- so by the world standards I am high functioning. I have a job, I'm married and I like keeping myself fit. The...
Today was a very hard day. Had a situation, I antisipated it, knew it was coming. So it came. Anxiety attack, head ache, muscle ache to whole ball of wax. It's not even a threat, been in worse circumstances. So tired of this when little stuff knocks me over hard. Now I'm watching tv, just...
Thank you. Honestly thought I was alone in this wilderness. The years between 10 and 17 were isolated for the most part. Moved from a large metropolitan area to the country. Hard time fitting in, my dad worked for an oil company kept us moving around a lot.
As for who am I, I like the...
I was raped at a young age (10) and again when I was older (17). I am 53 now and have just been diagnosed with PTSD. I read where a lot of people remember who they were before and the things they enjoyed before the trauma. I don't have that. So I am questioning who am I, really?
Anyone with a...
childhood trauma/rape. Thru multiple marriages. Estranged children. Run ins with the law. At age 53 I've been told that have been suffering with PTSD since I was a child and didn't know. My life has been one survival instinct after another. Ten years military service to add.
Today I really...
