Thanks ISH. I always miss your comments! :hugs: Manic

I heard a quote from a good friend of mine from this forum that says "I have PTSD. PTSD does not have me." I'm making a painting that says exactly that. It's a good reminder. Good for you! Manic

Wow...that's a good point. I would like to know if there is medication for it. Thanks for posting this. Manic

First off, good for you for even getting out of bed and going to work everyday. With all the triggers at your work, I can't see that being easy at all. Is it possible for you to take more time off for counseling and treatment? Maybe if you speak to your family doctor about this, you can see what...

So I thought everything was fine with that but it turns out she really does think I'm a liar. She then went to tell my whole family which is now ganging up on me. She then went on to tell my boyfriend that it's not true and he doesn't know what to believe. I've lost everything now....

Thanks so much for the support everyone! It feels like the only support I'm getting... She just "kicked me out" of the family. She was abused by my father as well! I thought maybe she would understand and be very supportive considering she understands how it feels. She knew he hit me... But...

Also would like to add that I agree with everyone else when they said you are very brave for facing that. You should be proud of yourself. That takes a lot of courage! Manic

I say the same thing constantly! 'Why can't I just be normal like everyone else? Why is this so hard for me? It's not this hard for everyone outside to leave the house (for example)." You aren't alone here at all. That's PTSD...Hell...That's anxiety. I've had really great outings then come home...

Everyone has to do it their own way. If thats how you had to come out with it, James, then that's that. Either way it's brave. I appreciate everyone's support. I just wish she was more supportive. Part of me wants to shake her and tell her to support me! I'm her daughter! And the other half...

I'm really at a total loss of what I'm going to do. I've been trying to apply for Temporary Disability for some time now but because they can't "see" my disability they think it's all a lie. I get panic attacks that last for hours when I have to leave the house....even days before I do...

I didn't think I would EVER do that. I was going to take it to my grave. Although, I didn't tell her much... I told her about the molestation and how up to when he abandoned us (when I was 8) he made me touch his penis... She told me a was a liar... It took about an hour until she started...

My therapist made a really good point one day... She said you cannot control how people react to things. It's true. It's like me saying I don't like your shirt. You could either shrug that off cause you like it or get extremely upset with me and never wear the shirt again. What I'm trying to say...

That doesn't sound too safe to me.... I've spoken to a doctor about a patch I can get but it's also... What do I do when I miss it? When I want that one "last" hit just one more time... Manic

Does anyone have any detox tips? This is very, very painful. I'm trying to wean myself off of it but its still so painful... Thanks, Manic

Happy Birthday ISH!!!! I can't believe it's been a year already. I remember posting to your Happy BDay thread not too long ago! Either way, you're still young! I hope you have a great day! Much love, Manic
