The only intention is to let God's Word speak for itself.

@Go Hungry Hi, I just wanted to gently respond to some of this. Southern Baptists have their doctrine mapped out in the Baptist Faith & Message-- that can be googled to be looked at in more detail. They most certainly do NOT teach that God hates you for the sin of being born. The most...

Lets just say it's been a rough last 2 weeks with flashbacks & nightmares. I had a golf head cover trigger me about past abuse last week. The head cover had the name of the University on it that I attended when several traumas happened to me. It took me about 5 long days to get any relief...

I too have seen it lessen because of facing the fear--- exposure has dulled the severity & frequency for me.

I am so happy for you. I too have been able to share with my T that my faith also keeps me grounded. In the worst PTSD times I am reminded of Jeremiah 29:11--- For I know the plans I have for you, declares The Lord, plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future...

I too have a diagnosis of BPD as well as Major Depressive Disorder & PTSD. I have been married for 15 years & have 2 beautiful boys. I have found that DBT has given me coping skills & CPT as well as EMDR have helped me process trauma memories. In 2 years of therapy I have seen...

Fear of losing control emotionally in public Feeling of powerlessness Body memories Flashbacks Doubting my abilities Scared of close relationships Panic attacks Anger Moodiness Dissociation Numbing

I am sorry that you are hurting. I have been feeling the same way about never fully recovering. I think that the abuse forever changes our lives, but I do believe that some good can come out of it when we have found some comfort & then can comfort others. I pray that God will sustain you...

I am so sorry for your loss. I understand how your own thoughts are triggered by the loss of a friend to suicide. I too lost a friend to suicide about 2 years ago & sometimes just the thought of it triggers me too. It helps me to remember that just because they made that choice doesn't mean...

Hi, I don't think you are being ridiculous for being upset about change. This care for your kids is fulfilling a very important role in your healing process. Having that time away for therapy & self-care is important. I hope that you will be able to find another care provider that will meet...

That made me cry. I am so proud of you. I just decided to start training for my 1st full marathon 4 days ago. I have the same feelings that you put into your push through writing. I hope that I see the success you have seen & prove to myself that I am strong too. thanks for your post!!!!

I have had the same type of thing happen to me for about 3-4 days following an EMDR session. I haven't talked about it with someone else before. You are not the only one this has happened to. I wonder what your T would have to say about it.

Glad you got the right diagnosis of PTSD eventually.

Hi I have the app on my iPod. Since I have iTunes on there, When I go to setup in PTSD Coach When I touch sounds audio It automatically brings up all the songs I have in iTunes & let's me choose the songs I want to add I am thinking having iTunes on the same device as the app for PTSD allows...

Welcome. I am sorry to hear that your therapist made a comment like that. Totally inappropriate. Keep up hope. There are therapists out there that are much more considerate. Having PTSD-- no matter what caused the trauma is worthy of encouragement & compassion to the sufferer. There are...
