I too work full time and am going through a restructure of my job. I had to interview 6 times for my same job as everyone had to re-bid their jobs and interview with the panel. I am still waiting the results of the interviews. I was a complete wreck during the interviews and did the best I...
Welcome aboard Jeff! I too can understand what you have gone through since my teenage years into my twenties were filled with abuse, self hatred, and major depression. I masked it well until a year ago and since then have also began to heal with counseling. My advise is to read as many post...
My heart goes out to you. I am in the same type of situation. I refuse to cry while I am at work but am getting close. Keep your mind on your work and get through the day. I plan on letting out a good cry when I get home today. I already warned my family I need me time when I get home...
I am currently on seroquel. It has not helped with the sleep as of yet but when I was on this drug last year it made me tired but still very functionable. Keep track of what you feel and talk to you pdoc if you notice anything other than being tired. That was what I was told to watch for...
Church may sound corny but it works. That is where I met my wife of 12+ years. We started off as friends and then started dating. I wanted to marry her the first day I met her. She is more than my wife she is also my BEST friend.
Don't knock it until you have tried it. I would start out...

Mom and I first got together in a chat

Be there for him with out smothering him. He is going to need to take it at his own pace. I remember the first days out of the hospital for me was a hugh challenge. My wife was there but let me deal with things on my own until she felt she had to intervene. I was not grateful at the time but...

I was told by my therapist that I suffer from Complex PTSD. Can anyone give me a idea what the difference between complex PTSD and regular PTSD? I think it has to do with the onset of symptoms years after the abuse has taken place. Any advise or words of wisdom would be appreciated.:hit-boss:
