I've gained a total of six pounds since taking: Sertraline - 150 mg Clonozepam - 0.5 mg Saphris - 10 mg I'm thinking it's the Saphris, since taking it at night makes me really hungry and makes me want to eat.

Thinking over it, and watching videos of people with the disorder, I'm confident in saying that I don't have hyperthymesia. Like you said, @Fadeaway, it would probably be hell for someone with the disorder to have PTSD.

Then I did a Google-search, and not only did it erase my worries about not being able to remember every second of my life, but it educated me about a type of person. The Google search brought up a Wikipedia article about people who possess a sort of autobiographical memory, like a photographic...

Okay, thanks guys.

I've been self-conscious about keeping one because if I do keep one, it would be a sign that I would still need a journal to recover, that I'm reliant on it for help. Do people without PTSD keep journals/diaries, and is it considered normal? I'm not worried about it being discovered, but I am...

Sorry, I'm no expert on Hawaii's various hotels.

Not just for PTSD victims, but in general, I mean.

Not really. It just makes the memory end and make me realise it's only a memory. It might come back later, though. In any case, I'll try something else, or something...

At least once every day, I enter these states wherein everything I see and experience reminds me of the past. Eventually, I feel myself reliving my traumatic incidents, over and over in my head. My counselor once suggested that I try to relive these experiences differently, akin to what I would...

Okay, I've finished the series, and I have something to say: I can't help but relate many of my PTSD symptoms to the stuff in the books. Like in the books, Harry has this mental connection with Voldemort, and when this connection is activated, the former can see into Voldemort's mind. It shows...

Sertraline - 150 mg (once in the morning) Clonozepam - 0.5 mg (3x a day) Saphris - 10 mg (at bedtime)

I have a therapist I can talk to every other week, but when I get into an episode on other days, I usually try to handle it by myself without other people's help. I keep trying to convince myself I don't need other people in my life to talk to, so I can prove I'm stronger than the illness I'm...

On days that I do do it, I find that I relive more of my traumas than I would have had I not done it. If it's bad, how should I stop?

I go to college now, and I found that I just wanted to say the things I wanted to say to them, but couldn't. My memories and feelings were heavily repressed then, so getting them out just makes it so much better. Just wanted to share with you all.

Like, the flashbacks constantly bombard me with unpleasant feelings when I'm trying so hard to concentrate on reading a chapter of my textbook. So I feel like I have to read it again because I couldn't keep my concentration, and that stunts my progress. It's really hard for me; sometimes I feel...
