I want you to know that I admire you for taking care of your husband and trying to understand his issues. You are doing all of the right things. You, the kids and dad will be in my prayers. Keep working on the problems and keeping dad safe. It will improve just take one day at a time and look...

Are you going to have to take the class again? I don't do well in classes where the professor isn't clear on what work we are suppose to do and how it is all organized. I am glad your other classes are going well. So what is your major? I am currently going to school too to get a Masters degree...

Hi Rain, I am good now. I got a new job that seems like it will be really good. Thanks for responding to me! Mindy

I can't imagine being awake. I don't even know how what to say to your experience. I can't imagine. You are strong for having survived.

I agree that it is probably the stress. I also agree that stress can cause almost any and all illnesses. I would try getting treatment for the stress while you might continue seeking treatment for the fatigue. Less stress can only help.

I have lots of body memories but no picture memories. My therapist would tell me that if I was emotionally able to remember then I would but it never happened. That either means I am not ready to remember or that I was so little that the feelings exist more than picture memories. I finally...

I was like that. Too numb to get scared most of the time. I wasn't even aware of what scared me.

Hi, You have a tremendous amount of courage. It takes courage to post here and ask questions. There is definitely hope. It might take a lot of hard work to face the past and find yourself on solid ground again. I did after 40-50 years. I don't think it really matters if it is dissociation...

Ok, so I am a teacher. I have been on disability almost all of my life because of abuse. First it was my mom then my ex husband. I have spent years in therapy to get to the point where I am not only functional, I am very capable person who should be free and enjoying life. My principal suddenly...

I think the number thing is kind of interesting. I did it for distraction. I loved math so I would play with numbers. I would find out what number each letter stood for in a word. For example, m would be 13 and a would be 1 and t would 20 and h is 8. I would double numbers like 2+2 is 4 and 4+4...

Stressed. Hubby had to work tonight and I hate being home alone. Plus my job mess. Can't stop thinking about it. Have no idea why my boss started picking on me. Losing my job and I didn't do anything wrong. Wish the stress would go away.

Hi You have to stay away. I understand why you are worried about the dog but you have to take care of yourself first. If doing the numbers helps your stress then use that as a tool. Do anything healthy that makes you feel better. I obsessively play games online because it easies my stress but...

I am so sorry. My situation was never that horrible. I can't imagine how scared you must be all of the time. I know how I get when the triggers hit and it is horrible. Like now, I am afraid to go out without my husband. I am getting the body aches and pains too. But, your situation would be...

I was abused all my life until I left everyone and everything behind when I was about 40 years old. My mom was a huge problem for me and it was actually a relief when she died. My life is a thousand fold better and I am married to a wonderful man now. I had a wonderful therapist that helped me...

Mine only kicks in when I feel threatened. My boss picking on me definitely makes me feel threatened. Too many years of abuse and it is lots better but some parts of things I can't seem to control. What about you recovering?
