    Bad Flashbacks After Touch

    Thank you FridayJones! So what works best for you is taking a little bit at a time, stopping, continuing, and stopping? I can definitely see how that would help. I want to move past the severely negative associations that I have with touch so I keep pushing myself over the edge and hoping that...

    Bad Flashbacks After Touch

    Hi everyone. I haven't been on here for awhile which for me is always a big accomplishment as it means that everything is tolerable in my life. Nonetheless, I still missed all of you :). I'm coming to accept that the sexual assault that I endured when I was 14 by my dad will always be a part of...

    Worst Trigger I've Had In A While

    It's been a long time since I've been on this forum and that's mostly because I was doing pretty well. Fluoxetine has been doing wonders with my brain and I've been on a great track to transferring to a state college with a scholarship. Then came last week; I could feel my brain changing. I just...

    Prozac

    9 days ago I began taking fluoxetine 10mg and I've noticed a huge (better) difference in my mood and I've been able to sleep much better. I'm functioning very well and I feel more awake during the day. I currently have a 2.5 month supply because I was taken off my insurance recently, but...

    Prozac Bottle Is Saving My Life

    So two or three months ago I had enough: it had been a particularly rough month and between hormones, an overwhelming schedule, and several other factors I decided it was time to see my doctor. I went and before I could utter any words past "I think I'm depressed". My doctor got onto his laptop...

    Email

    He was my abuser, but I suppose I developed Stockholm syndrome or something. It's so complicated for me and my brain to understand how the father I loved so much also caused so much harm. It feels like two different people in one

    Email

    I got an email from my dad today. "Subject: love you. I hope all is well and you are happy." I don't know how I feel about this. I've been yearning to hear from him, but nightmares filled with fear and regret have been consuming my nights lately. I miss him, but I still don't understand how...

    Whiplash Movie And Ptsd Do Not Mix!

    I'd take the cd outside, wear some gloves and safety glasses and obliterate the cd with a crowbar or any the item of your choice. It's helped me release pent up anger and frustration this past summer. The one time I've ever had any sort of extreme episode from a movie was watching super 8. I'd...

    Other My "short" Story

    Last year I wrote this stupid story for class that ended up being the thing that triggered warning lights in my teacher. I hate it now because of all the stuff I had to go through because of it, but before taht happened it was precious to me since it was like my way of sharing my story. Anyways...

    Research Scholarship Idea Help?

    Hahaha @Solara all I can picture is a mix of wonderwoman and one episode of Futurama that I saw a few years ago (sorry I can't even remember the name). Disney should really make a really tough and edgy woman with feminist ideals. I mean brave and frozen are on the right track, but I found them...

    Research Scholarship Idea Help?

    OK I loved all of your responses!!!! :) There's not much space so they just want very general information and, no worries @Chava the goal is for her to not be finding the prince be the main theme. I really like these though. I want to go down the empowerment route...so I'll see what happens...
