I believe that alcohol addiction would be any addiction if it helped those people suffering from extreme anxiety to halt or reverse its' condition. I've read a lot about the selfishness of the alcoholic, but I don't believe that AA's Big Book gives fair credence to the injustice that has...

Hi James Yeah, I suffered from physical beatings and emotional abuse from quite a young age. I've found that the more I tried to just play it down, the deeper it would hide until one day, it would just rear its' ugly head like an unimaginable nightmar and I would feel like I was going crazy. I...

Well, I used to sleep in the closet ... glad I'm not the only one! OMG.

Hi Vee ... yes, I understand. We have very similar backgrounds and I can sympathize with your frustration. I don't know why I get those feeling and I wish I didn't, and like you, I feel horrible for having them and just wish they would stay away. I have a great family and I can't understand...

Well, I can verify that TV is not reality. The story writers look for the most complicated mental health disorders to explain why the most evil people in society do what they do, but they couldn't be further from the truth. It's prejudicial and just puts another label on people who've had a...

Hi PH ... I've had to go out on disability ... it was the best thing I ever did. I need time for me ... I couldn't handle the pressure of PTSD and a job at the same time. It just kept causing all sorts of problems and I always had constantly severe anxiety. I've been off work for 9 months now...

I can't understand why some dads think it's "tough-ass" to drag their little kids through the trails of war and not expect there to be any fallout. I guess they're just naive. Maybe they're taking a risk they know they shouldn't be taking. I've lived in many countries too and just changing...

Thanks bro, yeah it not worth it anymore

OK - had enough of the folks ... I took a drive 3 hours south of Auckland and I'm house-sitting for my cousin for a few days. I don't think I can keep living with the folks anymore ... they mean well, but they just seem to trigger me all over the place and I feel really anxious living there...

There are legal alternatives in New Zealand ... you'd have to check in the US .... A mixture of Lion's Tail, Wormwood and Chinese Mugwart. It does not contain THC, but it does contain other Cannabinoids ... and I fould it very helpful in small doses. It's feels like it resets the...

Man, I woke up this morning having a panic attack. My step-father was acting like the world was going to end last night over a small misunderstanding with dinner and BAM - I start freaking out. So I went to the beach and went for a walk for a while. It's like I over-react to everything, and then...

Yeah, I feel like I've lost my purpose on some days ... living has always scared me to death ... everything was so abusive and cruel .... sometimes I wish I could find the light at the end of the tunnel and kick it in the"you-know-what"! Well, some days are better than others ... and i can see...

Bro, you're here because you want help - so don't give up. You can make it. Things may be tough now, but you do start coming right. I know about the thoughts and how scared you are. Please go to the ER bro. You need to lean on other people right now.

Hi Jesse - I'm glad to hear that you're not going back to see that therapist. What an idiot. Someone with proper theraputic training in PTSD would NEVER say that to a patient. I understand being in a stressful work environment and living with PTSD. I had to quit my job in the end to save my...
