    Chemical Night Sweats

    I did read the thread http://www.ptsdforum.org/thread9956.html and i'm thinking that this experience is not that uncommon... Most nights i'll wake up several times drenched in sweat. The strange thing is, though, it doesn't smell like normal sweat or BO or anything, it has a really peculiar...

    Poll Has PTSD Caused You To Attempt Suicide?

    Re: engaging in high risk behaviour. I never do anything like this because, while i'm not afraid to die, i am afraid of getting permanant injured. PTSD might be bad enough on it's own, but no doubt PTSD in a wheelchair would be worse.

    Finding a C-PTSD Therapist

    I'm trying to work out how a therapist would express empathy. Surely it'd be unprofessional to talk about their own traumatic experiences (if any) to try to show that they know how you feel, but how else would they identify with it?

    Finding a C-PTSD Therapist

    C-PTSD isn't an official diagnosis so I'm not sure how easy it'll be to find a psychologist who knows about it and can help me, anyone have any tips? Anthony posted some tips about finding psychologists who specialise in military-related PTSD, but since in my case it's more to do with domestic...

    Do I Have C-PTSD?

    Do you think I have C-PTSD? I've known for a while that something was wrong with me, but none of the mainstream disorders really matched. It seemed too good to be true when I read up on C-PTSD and that there might actually be a disorder that describes what I have (which means I can have the...

    I've known for a while that something was wrong with me, but none of the mainstream disorders really matched. It seemed too good to be true when I read up on C-PTSD and that there might actually be a disorder that describes what I have (which means I can have the courage to go see a...
