I totally relate with Friday but also I was thinking that with you saying that it's in remission for the third time you aren't sure if you can completely believe that it is in remission or not since it has came back in the past, and you truly want to be happy but there is still a part of you...

Luckily I haven't been to a truly "civilian" doctor yet so I guess that is a blessing in disguise for me at the moment. I have ran into a couple of instances where people just don't get it. In the past I have made it aware and sometimes still make it aware on my facebook page that I struggle...

That is a mighty fine question. I'm thinking maybe once I start getting my disability money from the VA that it might help me to realize and accept.

It's interesting reading what I wrote and wasn't completely clear. I think the main thing I was getting at is trying to find stability. I still fight the thoughts that I'm not worthy of the ptsd diagnosis and that people with ptsd have been out on convoys and blown up or in the civilian sector...

@SheilaKathy I was just thinking of a video you might like. Look up Skit Guy - God Chisel on youtube. It has helped me in the past and probably should watch it again. It has so many biblical truths in it about who we are to God.

I know this was posted back in 2015 but I'm wondering if anybody can shed some light on this matter? I have been doing some heavy self searching today and figured out that I'm in general tired mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically. And I think me being tired ends up coming down to...

I can relate so well to you. I like to go off into nature and take photos. I also enjoy going on walks or bicycle rides. I to have two small children and that is where I struggle so much in self care because if I take them with me then I'm concerned about if they are having fun or not or if they...

So I know Halloween is about 6 months away but I was reading an article about the mental illness stereotype and the stigma around mental illness. I was thinking what if a bunch of people dressed up as themselves but had a sign on them saying mental health patient or something like that to show...

I know I have a hard time opening up and I think it has definitely hindered some of my progress, but my last therapist I don't think was really all that beneficial. But glad that I have a new one now.

I am.

what if you don't bring up the diagnosis but bring up things that you have noticed and bring up the things that you might have had as well when you had PTSD that way it shows him that you can see where he is coming from with different things.

I use to play a lot of first person shooters that were modern warfare related but realized it was getting to be a problem when I would get angry and frustrated with the lack of teamwork on the game and still be angry when I would stop playing the game.

For me it was 18 because I went off to the military and they weren't close enough to attend any of my doctors appointments. But I remember when I was younger probably about after I hit puberty when it got to the point where the doctor would close to door to do the whole turn your head and cough...

I feel similar about all the years of therapy. I am aware of the thoughts and feelings. I can even see where they come from and why they happen sometimes. But now that I am aware of them I want to get ride of them. I learned to challenge them in the past but going through the process of...

For me it worked a little bit but after a while of not doing it then everything came back. To me it sucked starting and got to the point where it wasn't but only a temporary fix.
