I haven't had any traumatic experiences with any churches, but I have had what I think of as "bad" experiences with several religious organizations. I put "No, I don't go to church". -Other

I have a very strong internal clock, and I generally just "know" what time it is. Days, months, and even years, on the other hand, I don't follow so well. I think a lot of that has to do with isolation. And I don't use any kind of cellphone or pocket organizer, so I rarely have any idea what...

I'm definately a dark-winter yeti. I like it dark, I like it cold. I've always held to the idea that you can always put more clothes on if you're cold, but you can only take so many off if you're hot. And for some reason darker skies soothes me, always has. Storms are even better. -Other

I am purely agnostic, and I believe that, though I am not entirely sane as things may be, that is the most reasonable and sane thing to be. I have never understood athiests or those that follow organized religion; completely shutting out the possibility of a higher power, and completely...

Any post that I know in advance is going to be long, I tend to put in notepad or word so that I don't lose anything. Seems like others have success with that too! -Other

It may be a very long time before I even consider group therapy; though my therapist is more accustomed to working in a group environment, I would be unable to cope with the setting. I suppose, if I were to step outside of myself for a bit, I could imagine group therapy being helpful to some...

Hi Kunoichi, I have also had some issues with impatience regarding the process - and I just started therapy a month or two ago for the first time seriously. Unfortunately I don't have any source of income, so my own choices have been limited - my current therapist is more experienced with...

Stuff like this scares me. I can't imagine tripping being useful and safe in the manner suggested - but then again, most regular medications scare me too. So I could be way off. Either way, before doing something like this, get as much information as possible. It can't hurt, and might help...

Hey tardis. I'm kind of new here as well. My PTSD comes partly from severe bullying, and though I can't say I know exactly how it was for you, I do understand what it can be like, and how it can affect someone. I'm also of similar age as you. I think you've found a good group and place to...

Thank you for the information, cherryblossom. I think I will just wait to take the Tramadol until I get a chance to talk to a doctor about it. -Other

Hi empowered - Thanks for the reply. I have several printouts from the pharmacist about possible interactions, and the two medications I am on are not a part of that list, although the list only contains common anti-depressants. It is difficult for me to ask the pharmacist directly - I have...

My regular doctor has given me Tramadol (50mg) to be taken three times daily. I am also on Seroquel (50mg 3/day) and Pristiq (50mg 1/day). My doctor is aware of what my medicines my psychiatrist has put me on - but I have recieved questioning looks every time I say "Pristiq" or...

Race and Sex have taken a large step towards being a non-issue. Thanks to this election. Regardless of whom the best choice was, the fact that the US now has an African-American president will certainly change some things. Hopefully, to the point where the question of race and sex are no...

This is definately something to bring up to your therapist if you are seeing one. If you aren't seeing a therapist, you should look into it. They can often provide a lot of information about different techniques to use that help cope with that kind of anxiety. The first method I tried (I...

I'm currently on Pristiq and Seroquel (Note other thread :D) I've been on them for about a month now, and I haven't noticed any good effects, only some mild side effects. For many years I have stayed away from any kind of medication, even most over the counter stuff besides basic pain...
