Hope all's a bit better soonish for ya.

Thanks, it seemed counter productive in the moment but it'll only get better I'm sure.

I don't believe they ever labeled the scale method during this particular support group. In this support group, it doesn't seem like anyone really goes into depth regarding their trauma, rather they go over ways to deal with panic. I was given a book called "Embracing the Fear: Learning to...

Sorry, EMDR?

@JEKBreatheandBelieve , Oh, I felt like I was gonna throw up if I didn't say anything! I went second to last just because I had to work out what all i was feeling at the time.

I went to my first NAMI Open Door Anxiety Panic Support Group tonight. When it was coming to my introduction, I panicked. I'm laughing about it now just because of how silly it seemed that I was panicking at a panic group. I felt really silly crying in front of everyone. I kept my introduction...

I LOVE this! I'm going to quote you on it as a personal reminder to myself through out whatever happens in my life-experience. Thank you <3

This may be incorrect but it seems to me that he is trying desperately to distance himself from you, but he still loves you immensely, which is hard to sort out for lots of people. He may be taking time to work on himself ("Let things happen naturally") and that's why he has been saying that he...

I typically don't like to just read and not comment, so I'm sorry if this isn't beneficial to you. I am at the opposite end you are. I am the person who is suffering from PTSD and my boyfriend has to deal with the brunt of things when things get bad for me. We recently had a falling out where I...

Gotta agree with @Fadeaway . I've had this very thing happen in my company as well. There are 2 ladies who are well-qualified to move up the chain, but the higher up is convinced they can't because the higher up believes they are the minions of the manager. :S The manager really wants the two...

I will be brutally honest here, the whole point of my post was trying to deal with a significant other who told me they needed time to figure out if they can handle my PTSD and the work it would involve in the relationship. As it turns out, showing the significant other some resources seemed to...

You know, I notice what you guys are talking about not with alcohol but with another substance. I avoid it entirely despite the popularity of the substance. I had flashbacks, full body physical responses too which was odd, but very well could be associated with paranoia.

Really well-thought out and well-written responses. Thank you all, gives me a lot to think about. :hug:

Ok, so I have been a member here for a pretty short while, and I've been working on my mental health for the past few weeks. I am excited to tell you all that during a potentially stressful situation where I would normally break down and sob, and panic uncontrollably, I did not. I refrained by...

Transference sounds like a really familiar term, but I"m gonna be honest...I am not sure what it is?
