Welcome to the forum! Sorry to hear about your current struggles and I hope the clinical help will be available to you soon. I am also dealing with a concussion (my 3rd one but 2nd sustained at work) and I am finding it more difficult to deal with the PTSD triggers again. They are more intense...

Yes, that helps a lot! Thank you. I suffered another one about 2 months ago and I am still not right. Like you, I am now having trouble finding my words, pausing to remember things I've known forever etc. Even with the physio, it's been a challenge and any time the PTSD flares up, so do the...

I don't think sertraline is addictive. But not sure. I am still on it - 150mg. I think 50mg should be okay? But definitely check with your doctor. I tried Welbutrin and it was awful, as was Celexa. I don't really have experience with any other meds.

I have gained quite a bit of weight too. I'm on sertraline though

Oh I hear you. This is *still* an issue for me as well. I just started going to therapy again and I have had homework and the avoidance kicked in. So, I think what everyone else said, just try a little bit at a time. My T does a lot of body work so she tries to get my body to a place where I...

I have only ever tried the tapping thing a university counselor showed me but I did it on my own and ended up having the most intense flashbacks that night so I never did it again...even though that, in and of itself, was probably not a bad thing. So I guess I am adding my experience to those...

Just wanted to chime in. This kind of thing happens to me too...still. I have trouble talking about it...and if I do, I still use vague language like "the stuff that happened" instead of calling it by name. For a long time, I wasn't able to cry. I still hardly ever do. But there are times...

I put other...My GP doesn't know details but my shrink knows more. However, he sends updates to my GP and I have no idea to what extent he shared...if at all.

Sorry you feel so horrible. I have only ever attempted once but almost nobody knows about it (I did eventually tell a friend a lot later). I tried the old tying around the neck thing...but I just ran out of energy and strength to carry it through. I now have ideation quite often...I think, in a...

I have done this too. Used to read about and watch footage of the traumatic events...over and over and over...Not sure if I was numb and trying to feel or if I was trying to dissociate. I must have been numb some of those times...

Thanks, Friday! That helps

Hi. My apologies if this has already been discussed elsewhere. I have recently suffered a concussion so my attention is a bit off, and I can't stare at the screen for too long. My question is if anyone has had this happen (not PTSD as a result of TBI but someone getting TBI after already...

As I mentioned above, I have had stomach issues and there comes a point where the dosage stops working for me, so he usually gets ne to a higher dose. I recently started 125mg again. This time, the stomach was ok, mostly, but I'm not sure the higher dose is really helping. I feel more anxiety...

So, back in March, I started having symptoms and I initially thought it was allergies. Then I got lethargic. Then the cough started and then the fever. Shortness of breath. I was sick for a very long time. I did the test in later April (regular people weren't getting tested before that unless...
