I know depressed people say no one cares for them but their perception is distorted. But what if everyone really seems Not to care? What if you've run things by people in your life and they see your point? I was fine for so long. Then, 2 years ago, my ex started a custody case that lasted over...

I started with the thing that brought me to therapy. Why did you go in the first place? Has that been helped fully or is there more you need there?

Some nights I can't fall asleep and on the nights I do get to sleep I wake up more than once. It's been a couple of months now. I mentioned it to my P-Doc and he increased my Gabapentin to try to help but it hasn't. I see him again tomorrow but I'm so tired. I have tried meditation and melanin...

This is almost every morning for me. I just get up early enough to not have to rush. That way I can have a moment to lay there, then sit there, then get some coffee, and all the while remind myself that I've made it through every other day and this one is basically the same as all the others...

I'm glad he was okay with your pace. I do want to say again what some of the others have said. It doesn't matter what he, or anyone else, expects. You only have to figure out what you want and are comfortable with, even later in the relationship. You are COMPLETELY in charge of your boundaries...

Hey every one. Thank you for the responses. I took some time and stayed away to see if things calmed down. It's about the same though. I'm going to look for another opinion and see what they say. I think the diagnosis is very odd too because it's so rare and I can talk or answer questions fine.

I actually just posted that he said Ganser. Other posts on here brought up Factitious. It was originally seen in prison inmates as a way to be diagnosed "insane" and get better living conditions and then it was moved to the dissociative spectrum so depending on where you read everyone on here...

I don't really feel the need to defend information that was said by two doctors. It's not what I came up with. They just mentioned the MRI so I thought it would be useful to you guys here. I have had both an absolutely crazy mother who had severe mood swings and was violent as well as a...

I forgot to mention, they thought I could be having seizures that caused the dissociation so they had me do an MRI before they would treat me for mental health. The scan confirmed PTSD brain changes I am told.

I am going to see someone else. It just takes time to get an appointment. I am not sure why I would be making things up either, though I am not ruling any options out. I try to stay open minded. I agree that it is not gainful, other than seeing this post as gain lol. But I don't post on here a...

Both my therapist and my psychiatrist think my trauma was growing up with an unstable mother. I've always had the symptoms I guess but it was really just a bunch of stuff that I didn't think about, nightmares, anger, etc. I just assumed that's how I was and I was on and off anxiety meds. It...

I don't really like the idea of meds and I know they are addictive. Right now I think I need to use them but I hope that it's not a long term thing.

Thank you. I am considering the idea that things would be better if I could just relax. I want to clarify for the whole post that I'm not confused in the sense that I can't talk to people and make sense or that I'm not able to following simple instructions. I know 2+3=5 and what day it is. I...

Thank you. I'm just very confused today. I know I'm not making things up but I'm kind of doubting myself right now.

Ok. I don't respond to others on here as much as I should so I feel a little guilty posting my own problem again. But I would like open honest opinions. It's a little long. I'm sorry. I was diagnosed with PTSD last year about July. I disassociate and have panis attacks. I have had some...
