I concur. It's refreshing to hear the real truth. No sugar coating. :)

No no! I totally understand everything you said. Hahha I soo can relate to that one - Maybe not in the same way as you but I get you

Any of you have a hard time being stationary for too long? Either you have to just rearrange the furniture in the house or bedroom or you have to cut ties with people. Some kind of change. Somewhere. I'm just wondering if this is closer to being me specific or if it's a general trauma related...

Not yet (Right now he wants to just diagnose me with depression and anxiety) But he is a very thorough person. He wants to make sure that my whole set of symptoms aren't actually something else (It was actually his idea to reach out to people who live with stuff like this on a more severe level...

Does anybody find dissociating anything besides painful or disrupting or anything else negative? I almost find it relieving when I get a break. I've realized that my dissociated part isn't actually a part of me. It's more of all the bad things that have happened to me, all the things I've had...

Oh a psych already knows everything. He is trying to help me make sure that I'm not bipolar. :) I am already on a road to some kind of better health lol - I just wanted some advice from people more intimately involved with PTSD. It's one thing to know what the symptoms are in the DSM, it's...

It was the way the doctor was. The kind of questions he asked. He made a lot of assumptions and that just forced Max to distract me enough that I didn't say anything

There are a couple reasons why I don't think it is DID - Max isn't developed enough. It's like one step short. Oh I know:) But I also know that sometimes people who experience it firsthand can give me at least some decent advice:) I totally agree with this. I saw this happen with my mom where...

Thank you @Lost Pup for the response! My current psych said, and I totally agree with him, that it wouldn't be that beneficial for me to go into something like that right now, given that I am still helping my mom and still exposed to the same type of stressors that exacerbated my problems...

Old

I don't know if you understand how awesome this was. You're awesome. Thank you. Really. Thank you so so so so very much :) (Hahah. It took me far too long to get those so's right xD)

(Forgot about this part - meant to add it in my first response) Often times when we experience a severe trauma we, especially as young children who don't understand how things work or why someone would do something like that, believe that it must be our fault. And if it's our fault then we...

To me it sounds like it is definitely possible. I think that after you spoke about the dream out loud there was a part of you that became overly fearful that you said something that you shouldn't have and you may get hurt because of it. Or that saying it makes it more real which is always hard...

So my last official Dx was Bipolar 2. That was at a hospital where I was at for a week and I didn't quite get to explain what was really going on with me. So here is a quick list of my problems: Depression - Fluctuates, can be rather rapid. Haven't had a major episode in over 2 years. Used to...

@Abstract I was slightly skeptical because of your first line but I think your post sums up everything I think about Christmas (Except the religious part - I am Christian and I am thankful in my heart, but I don't think it necessary to make an extravagant deal out of it. But I agree with the...
