That is something I will have to check into. I hadn't thought about that. Thank you.

I'm not sure if I could just pick one thing. I do know that when you have nightmares about the hell you lived through it doesn't start your day off to well.

Meadowsweet, I have tried trauma focussed therapy. I am very strapped for money right now; I cannot afford going back at this time.

I was in therapy for many years for my PTSD. I am not currently in therapy. I do have a support group that I speak to on a regular basis.

Thank you Nicolette. There are a lot of things going on.... I only talk to my kids about what happened when I have episodes (as I call it) with my PTSD. They attack me for something I cannot help, like being depressed or sad or withdrawn. It wasn't until this year that I even talked to them...

Hashi, I have tried group therapy before and I do not do so well in groups. I am too shy, I have always been shy. So, I do not open up well in groups. But, thank you for all of you suggestions.

I have been in and out of therapy. I have tried every antidepressant known to man and I do not want medication. I do not like feeling nothing. I haven't taken a nerve pill for years until recently. I have been having anxiety attacks, nightmares, and depression. I honestly thought I was about...
