Hello all,

I've been struggling with PTSD for seven years now. I've tried a number of support methods depending on what seems right and appropriete for me at the time, to include medications, encounter groups, theraphy and EMDR.

I am currently seeing a trauma therapist who uses EMDR and I feel it's working well for me (I've also seen another EMDR therpast a number of years ago). I feel my symptoms (primarily rage) intensified after being stalked this past year.

At this time I have a long-standing depression that seems it will never go away no matter what the hell I do, so I'm trying to move on in spite of it. As we all do, I have good days and bad, but I'm a helluva lot better than I have been.

Hey - how long will I be moderated?

 

[becvan]

Until you are not.

I don't mean to sound rude... but asking to be unmoderated etc.. tends to make you sit in moderation longer. Just a fair warning.

The 'lay down and take it' response really isn't appropriate for a PTSD forum, don't you think?

Is this site intended more for military personnel?

 

[becvan]

This site is for all sufferers of PTSD. My response was and is short, as I'm in the middle of PTSD symptom flare-ups. All but one of our editors has PTSD.

It is appropriate as there are sticky threads as to responsibility of members, threads and posts on why members are moderated, on top of the information when you register and the FAQ button on the top of the screen. If you would read or research, there would be no need for me to attempt to answer when I'm not in shape to.
