:bored:what about those thermo thingos? 2 grand! and for what? a blender, mincer, grater chopper thing ALL IN ONE? I already got one of those, didn't cost me 2 grand. Its called a knife. BUT WAIT! There's more! you cant blow your face off with a knife can you

Hugs to all our American ptsders who I'm sure would have to be shaken up by this badly, thinking of you all. Now the gun debate again right? Which will only result in everyone feeling offended and pissed off and nothing will change anyway. Just throwing my own offensive opinion in for the...

You are spot on. I've been thinking about going for emdr, so you recommend it? How long have you been doing it now? Be super interested in your opinion of it, and how it works

Have you been developing any coping strategies for daily life with your counsellor? If so spend your last sessions reinforcing those perhaps. And just spend more time here :)

Thats sounds pretty intense, and not much different to the cbt I used to work my way through flashbacks years ago. Also similar to how I treat my anxiety (not always successfully lol) But the depression and disassociation I've yet to talk myself out of haha

Yeah, you better get a lawyer. This will be sticky. Interestingly though, you say the ukranian law cannot be applied to your son right? Well I also know that a judgement placed on a custody agreement in one country means squat when the child is in another country. So your son is...

Ocd sounds like a real pain. I dont have any experience with it, what treatments helped you with it? I'm betting that if you are strong enough to work your way out of ocd, then most of your other symptoms would be a walk in the park!

I read all this the other day. And struggled to believe this was a real case and that the submissions were really written the way they were. Probably the thing I found most difficult to believe was that this frat boys Father spent all that money fighting for his sons right to freedom, hiring...

You make mistakes too. Not everything that was wrong here was on me.

They really are a joke aren't they :( Seems a rather serious situation with you having been so unwell for sometime now, you'd think the specialist would have taken more care prescribing to someone in your condition. We place too much faith in our doctors I believe. Hope you will be giving...

Hard to know when to call quits isn't it. I had 8 years worth and while I changed and grew a lot in that time, I still walked away with a mountain of baggage I wasn't ready to tackle yet. Only just starting to identify much of it this year, and its been 10 yrs since I saw my psych.

Is it necessary to disclose your condition upon applying for a job? I personally wouldn't. Because I would assume they would look at someone without issues over someone with them. That doesn't mean you wouldn't receive support once you are settled in the job and have shown your worth. My...

Awesome decision :) You wont regret it, I feel like you could definitely use some tlc and good support while you pull yourself out of this hole. Best of luck @sonicwhite, keep us all posted!

I love this. And I believe it lol

Throughout my life I've avoided doctors, hospitals and even my own medical issues like the plague. Mostly because I have an intense fear of not being believed or taken seriously and every experience I've been forced to have with our medical profession has resulted in me feeling like I have to...
