@FridayJones That has to be one of the most useful pieces of advice I have ever been given. Truly, thank you so much for that. I will try this and see how it works out, but just reading your post alone made me feel better

Hi Shinigamidn! I totally understand where you are coming from and I have been there many times. I know you are going to hate to hear this, just as I did, but I really recommend going to a therapist. I used to just deal with my issues on my own and they were really bad at one point. The...

Hi all! I hope I don't sound too crazy in posting this! I have been living with PTSD for a little over three years now, and it has been incredibly hard. The hardest part for me is that my anxiety seems to be getting worse, even though I am sticking to my treatment and it is going really well. I...

@In Exile : That's so great to hear! I'm sure the stress is at least 1/2 of what it used to be!

@billie : Sorry to hear, and I feel most of the same things. I hope you are doing better. Thank you for all of your responses, and please let me know if you ever need anything!@The Albatross : That is a long time to be dealing with these issues. I'm so glad to hear that you were able to find...

@In Exile : THANK YOU. That's what I keep thinking... But its so hard when no one else would understand my decision to do so. I can delay law school for a year by deferring if I need to. I'm going to make the decision around the time that school starts after having gone through a bit more...

@The Albatross : That is seriously incredible advice. Thank you so much for that. Have you been going through this for awhile? It seems like you've come up with a great solution to your problem... I really found all of that information inspiring.

@billie : I'm sorry to hear that you haven't been feeling well lately. I completely understand. When you say that you've been like that for a month, can you tell me what you've been going through? I just want to know if its similar to what I experience (social isolation, watching a ton of...

@The Albatross : Okay so cycling seems to be somewhat of a normal outcome of this. I'll have to start tracking mine to see if I can get a better picture of what is going on. I'm so glad to hear that you wouldn't be able to close off for two weeks. I cannot wait until I'm at that point. What has...

Hi Trying Best, It sounds like you are completely on the right track to fixing your marriage, god willing he gives it another chance. I don't really know about the whole giving him too much space thing. I think the best thing for you to do is find a good PTSD therapist in your area and try to...

Hi The Albatross, Thank you for your response. Is it normal to have these kinds of cycles? Do you hear that often and is it a normal part of PTSD? Yes, this year has been especially stressful. Nothing is really reminding me of my trauma, but I've just graduated from college and I'm entering law...

For me its So So from Orange is the New Black. I almost stopped watching the series because of it because she looks exactly like someone who did something really bad to me! I eventually got over it, but I totally know what you're saying

Hi everyone! This is my first time trying out a forum like this, so hopefully it goes well! I am a 24 year old girl diagnosed with PTSD following a traumatic incident. My story is a pretty long one.. Regardless of the details, I went through a horrendously traumatic incident three years ago...
