Oh but I’d like to add, that I am still needing to close that chapter with the therapist. I will see him soon. Thanks for your reply.

Hello, it has been some time since I have talked to the therapist about this. Last time we talked, I was still trying get passed the guilt. I am passed the guilt finally, and dealing with anger of being treated badly. Now I feel like I am truly at the last stage of letting go of that bad time.

This type of anxiety and hyper vigilance can definitely stem from ptsd. If some one has a bad experience, it is common to perceive threats inaccurately. These words come personal experience. My perception is definitely skewed because of a few bad experiences.

My posts are long too, so it’s ok :) I hope feel better soon with whatever is getting you down.

Hello, I am a 28 year old stay at home mom. I gave birth to my 1st child and I take good care her, but I am struggling with something that I thought would work itself out. When I was 17, I got talked into having sex with my sisters boyfriend, who later became her husband. I trusted him enough to...

... Thanks, maybe I should try that. Also, I had feeling that med started with a "k" lol

Just know, you aren't alone. I feel the same way in public when people look at me and I have also blown up at people, and even what seemed like anger, was actually being overwhelmed and anxiety. Some people won't understand that anxiety does, many times, lead to anger, because of all the...

Hello, I am some who suffers from anxiety, especially after being a new home owner and new mother. The biggest remedy for this anxiety is exercise. I exercise everyday and I'm beginning to feel pain in my joint, especially in my ankles and knees. I'm only 28, but I know I'm overdoing it, because...

i always thought my low self esteem and obsession with my appearance was do to my schoolmates bullying me, but at 27 yrs old, I've finally realized in group, that my mother also played a negative role in how critical she was with my appearance. When I felt ugly, she never told me that I was...

You're absolutely right. I have to accept that I will be judged, but lots of times people's judgement will be highly inaccurate. I can't take everything personally as if it is always truth.

Thanks you guys. Logically, I know it was her dealing with her own demons and wasn't the demon. It just set off a bad reaction in me. The group counselor even explicitly told her, "well, she's not your brother, ok?" I understand any type of anger makes her think of her brother, it was just...

Thanks for empathy and hugs.

You're right about the xanax, I forgot about the rebound anxiety. My doctor has me on klonopin now, which I don't think is any better. Im also on Latuda, but I really wish he put me on Prozac. I don't want to be sedated, I want to get better!

After giving birth, my depression had returned and I am suffering from pmdd(pms times 100) We were talking about explosive outbursts when one may kick or hit things out of anger. I talked my experience, I kick and hit thing I know I will not break and only end up hurting myself, because I get so...

Luckily, I have a lot of support from my family, but them having to constantly help me lately is a great source of guilt and shame. I stay over at my parents house a lot now. It feels like I have practically moved back. I wanted to do it by myself this time. I had only myself to carry before and...
