    New here - any suggestions to help avoid nightmares?

    Hey, Osiris! As a person that also doesn’t like to do medications, my suggestion even though it’s tough to do each day for me is heavy exercise. If I exhaust myself, I sleep heavy enough I don’t remember my dreams or wake up in sweats because my body chooses to repair vs. sweat, shiver and...

    can ppl with severe ptsd improve overtime?

    Totally understand and so sorry. That is the complexity of PTSD, if it wasn’t what traumatized you, you can swim in the pool.

    can ppl with severe ptsd improve overtime?

    @Lionheart777 , you bring up a good point that might be helpful to this person. I still live with symptoms of PTSD as well, even though I’m now not living the nightmare of cutting myself to the point of passing out, breaking TVs, and having panic attacks to the point of pooling drool on the...

    When you make progress and meet someone that is in the THICK on their PTSD....

    Yep Zoogal- just wanted people’s other possible experiences with this or suggestions on how they have alleviated really high situations with at risk people while in public. He literally made us all feel like he was going to shoot up the place. It was heavily alarming and I’ve never been in the...

    Faith-Based Therapy?

    @ladee- " nature is my church" I almost cried when I read that. I said that twice just today. She is the most beautiful mother and teacher of all in my option.

    Faith-Based Therapy?

    Healing in progress and others, again hope I'm not sounding like I'm mad hating on your choices. I just through my life's travel have seen how much doing something through the church where people are saying this is the way to do this whether it be wisdom or their own experience- It's so...

    When you make progress and meet someone that is in the THICK on their PTSD....

    Not sure how to make this as short as possible- I've been on here for several years and I used to be REALLY sick. Nearly ruined my marriage, cut myself a few times, broke a TV, drank myself to sleep WAY too many times, and wouldn't leave the house for three weeks at some points. Panic attacks...

    Faith-Based Therapy?

    Ive been in therapy in and out so many years of my life...some of it was christianity based (my mom’s push) then Buddhist based with meditation, and then with zero religion/practice what so ever. I haven’t been to therapy in a year because the zero based has gone so well. In my experience, I...

    Self Respect. How do you give yourself respect?

    First- through therapy- Ive found sometimes basic care is the best self respect you can give yourself for the time being. Whatever place you are at - go you and keep going. Second to answer the question- I do things that vary all the way to forcing myself to workout more, schedule massages to...
