Same here too.

I've had a plethora of different themed dreams. School, falling, monsters. A dream I've had on more than one occasion is that my life is in danger, I see guns, I grab them but they don't work. I've had those types at least 6 times. I've had vivid dreams about the xenomorph like creature in...

Exactly they made it up to keep me quiet.

I will try to decipher it. A lot of it may have to do is the girl that I saw the movie with she was the same age as me young maybe around eight or nine and what freaked me out about her is it she look like a girl that the babysitters showed me a picture and the babysitters told me this person...

Prazocin! It does help.

My dreams associated with PTSD have a lot in common with the movie Aliens. Especially the very ending of the movies. When the xenomorphic creature is hiding in the escape pod and unfurls itself limb by limb than tail than its big head than the double mouths that glisten with its saliva. There's...

Your not alone. I feel this way a lot. You just want to go somewhere by yourself for long periods of time. Not sure why. The longer the time away the better it seems I would feel. I've thought a minimum of 10 weeks away but I still wouldn't want to come back to society or my reality.

Back aches , stress headache and general muscle tension made me more susceptible to pain medication addiction. OTC meds did help though. My therapist and pcd tried to avoid pain meds unless I absolutely have to have them but they have worked on reducing my overall anxiety level which helped a lot.

Yep, me too! I was diagnosed in 2016! Been seeing my therapist since 2010. I have seen therapists on and off since 1991 and they were all wrong but when you live with this for long periods of time it just becomes you to a degree IMHO so you see, you are not alone in this for sure. Once my...

It's rare but I have done this but more or less my voice changes and I repeat things like the end of a sentence I started.

I repeat things over and over again. Or my tone or voice changes.

Maybe. I know I pushed my dad away than eventually everyone else. I became pretty isolated except my wife and kids but connecting with them, well that wasn't happening for awhile so I was just there. I think it is shame though. I pushed my closest family members away but the good thing now is...

Man, I don't know what to tell you bro. Is she in counseling? Your lives are very different, more so because of her PTSD. My wife is strong because I know that I have pushed her close to the edge more than I care to count and I have pushed over the edge about twice. She is still with me. Why? I...

Yes and no. I put up a front to my wife. That's all she knew about me is big tough guy Rob. Now since my diagnosis and explanation to my wife, I pushed her away than she had to get to know me all over again to a degree. It still seems she doesn't have a clue about my illness. She will get...

I did the same to my wife and I'm not sure why. I just know that I was overwhelmed with feelings and emotions that not only I could understand and knew that she wouldn't understand. Perhaps she needs to confront some issues that bother her. My therapist pushed me to do this. It's hard but I...
