Yep, I'm much the same. I'm much worse when I'm at my home and/or alone. I'm a lot better during the day around other people, but still I'm so alert and hear everything around me. I know someone's behind us long before anyone else does. But yes, if I feel safe with certain people then I don't...

So, my mother has Bipolar. Recently I've been worried about myself being/getting bipolar. Well, I just found out my dad's mother also had bipolar. So it's on both sides of my family.. If I remember correctly, they say you usually develop bipolar by the time you're 25. Well, I'm 24. I do...

Yeah I hope I'll get someone good. I saw an awesome lady after I split with my ex and went through massive issue with my parents. Wish I could go back to her, but don't think I can as she was given to me for specific reasons and through a certain agency thing. I've gone to counsellors before...

Oh I had no idea. That explains why I can't find any info on emotional support animals in Aus, such as the laws on them. Most information I come across is either American or talks about ptsd for those who were defence members. I kinda thought with my ptsd I'd be unlikely to get a service dog. I...

I am still trying to pluck up the courage to speak to a dr or counsellor about it. Though I've tried many times, I just can't say the words and go speechless. Sounds strange, but I was actually going through Pinterest! Scrolling through and I saw something about ptsd and it had listed some...

Thank you so much for your comments, guys! I've been thinking about it a lot for a while now and really feel a dog would be my best choice. I feel safe with a dog around. I feel like a break in is such a real possibility and I'm always ready for it to happen and need to listen so intently so...

I feel like it would greatly help my stress, anxiety and hyper vigilance as I'd feel much safer and not feel so on edge and feel like I need to hear everything little thing to be ready for anything as I would feel like my dog would let me know if something is actually wrong or if someone has...

So a few times now I've looked at symptoms of PTSD and I have many of the symptoms. In fact there were things I didn't even know were different about me as I have pretty much always been like this. My abuse started when I was around 6 or 7. I always knew there was something wrong with me, but...
