I believe honesty is key. Of course sharing that you have ptsd and the reason behind it is not something I would bring up right away. Judging a good time to explain is the tricky part because too early could scare them off or they just don't really want to take on a 'supporter' role, and to late...

@Justmehere Talk about a huge relief. I honestly would have never considered PTSD or even mentioning it as a possibility to my GP if I had not found this site.

I'm just happy to finally know what is going on, I think the reason I didn't get it last year is because I didn't properly explain my story to the last psych. Thanks to some wonderful people on here, I was able to give him the whole story.

I got the diagnosis of ptsd today. I have never felt more relieved in my life, I was actually smiling and bouncing when I left the office. My new T said its a form with depression on top. He's great, took the time to sit down and listen to everything I had to say and just wow, I'm looking...

I always do feel a bit stronger when I get it out.Like I said, I just hate that it seems all my journaling is so repetitive. So I end up feeling shitty because it looks like I'm stuck and cannot let go so I give up. I'm glad its helping you guys :) I love writing and can get lost in it, I just...

I used to use a journal but only got frustrated because I felt I was writing the same things almost everytime so it made me feel like I wasn't going anywhere or that I was too stuck and in some way refused to let go. I may take it up again, even of I'm writing the same things, at least it is out...

I have found a good way to let out some pent up emotions is writing letters, I finally sat down and wrote my dad a letter about a year ago letting out most of the things I had kept hidden since I was 12. I managed to make it loving, telling him that even though he caused me a lot of pain I would...

Course I would love to say that all feelings have gone away but that's going take time. Yeah it's been a year but you can't help feeling one way and just kick it.

Just wanted to get this out cause I feel like I'm finally moving in the right direction in regards to work jerk. Usually my heart does the samba whenever I see him. I've taken to doing some "self talk" when I go to bed; or whatever you wanna call it. But I started repeating in my mind that the...

Thanks guys :) and I'm 24/almost 25

I find the past couple of months my depression has been worsening. I feel like I'm going back to how I used to be back in grade 8 when I was nothing but a shell. More often I have to pull myself out of bed for class, work or even just in general. I feel lonelier than ever and have reverted back...

There are a few of those people who can never be satisfied regardless of how many times we bend over backwards to appease them. I have a friend who I met in school and she has social anxiety as well and honestly, she has done amazingly during our first year. Even if you move, even if you make a...

1. Happy belated birthday! Honestly honey, I am still asking myself the same question about why I choose friends who end up doing more harm than good. I would have said try and have a sit down with her to explain how her behaviours affect you but, it appears she is too wrapped up in herself to...

I will be open with him when the time comes for that. We're just talking at the moment, no mention of relationships and such. The other guy and I never dated - it was just a fling that started and ended pretty quick. I just don't want that to happen again.

I recently started talking to a new guy and so far, I feel like its going well. I'm trying not to think about it ending or anything, trying to enjoy it. In the back of my mind I find myself wondering if I can actually handle it because I usually run after a while. I'm still healing from the...
