    Hypervigilance, feeling safe, startle response/jumping out of my skin every time I hear a noise....

    Aw, heck, I’m honestly considering wrapping my entire house with razor wire....might feel a little safer. Feeling like I’m living in hell. No appetite. Insomnia. Seeing therapist this week. I might be able to get a sign made to put on my door that indicates that someone with PTSD lives here...

    How Did You Sleep Last Night?

    Feeling a bit shaken up this morning… Woke up from a dream in which I was living in a totalitarian dictator ship, and any citizen who wanted to live was required to strangle a small dog to death without demonstrating any emotion. If the citizen refused to kill the dog or showed any emotion...

    Do narcissist parents have children for supply?

    I could honestly believe that an AXIS-II, Cluster B would do that. I find the idea of an NPD having offspring for the purpose of some kind of perverse self-gratification quite plausible. Thanks for raising the question! I suspect I was conceived for the purpose of serving AXIS-II, Cluster B...

    Responses To Your Therapist That You Will Probably Never Say

    Therapist said I am in an unhealthy situation due to traumatic memories where I live currently. If she is so sure I should move, I’d say, “As soon as you pay for the new digs and all moving expenses!”

    Am i the only frequent mover

    That was a real chuckle! Forgive me for laughing, but it just sounds awesome and funny at the same time. Love it! That’s another fear I have about moving. Scared I won’t be able to get all my mail forwarded and that someone will screw around with my identity or something. Hell, I’ve long wanted...

    Am i the only frequent mover

    Aargh....LOL. Well, A realtor who has been sending me emails of various properties for the last few weeks has found two places that interest me. I emailed her back saying that I was interested in looking at two of them. That is stupid of me. Or, maybe it is not. It in no way obligates me...

    He, he....maybe we ought to. “The Distressed Sleepers’ Club”? I just took the full arsenal of everything I can safely take to try to knock myself out. Should hit soon....3, 2, 1...... Best of luck to you tonight!

    Am i the only frequent mover

    This is a neat thread. Always thought moving was great....due to the oft-mentioned feeling of wanting to “make a fresh start.” Moving to a new place always seemed exciting, always felt really good about getting to a new place. Hoping each new place would get rid of the past. Feeling...

    Should i change my sleeping hours?

    Started going to bed at a very early hour. Took melatonin and another OTC sleep aid. Felt weird, dozed, panicked, nightmares, then completely awake four hours later. Got up and drink some coffee for three hours and then felt sleepy and went back to bed.

    Should i change my sleeping hours?

    Has anyone tried this with success? Daytime is difficult for me. Nighttime feels safer. Any feedback on sleeping during the day and being up and functional at night?
