I was finally able to get back online tonight to check on things and I read that part about not trusting Pharmaceutical drugs that Anthony wrote. I personally do not trust them either. They make you feel ok for awhile and then they have to keep uping the dosage to get the same effect. This...

Hi Young and Angry, I understand your frustration. Sometimes just saying things rather than waiting for just the right words will work. It will help you to get everything out of you. I too sometimes want to think things through before I say them but then I analyze things to much and not...

I hear ya piglet. My husband went to one session with the pshychiatrist and he would not go back because they did not specifically say he needed help. They told me he was using the woman he is with as a way to escape from everything that happened and that he would need help eventually whether...

Any other drugs to worry about. I truly believe Paxil is one to worry about and I watched a documentary on this drug and how in Europe they band it because of the negative effects it was having on people. For me, I was at the maximum dosage and was getting more suicidal which I have learned...

Terry exercise works for me to. I have been walking everyday at work on my lunch hour. I take my cambell's microwavable soup with me and do a 20 minute walk. I also try to go for a walk in the evening if I feel up to it when I get home from work. It was something I stopped doing when the...

Here here Anthony. It does get worse before it gets better. I am currently at a group called EA. We do a 12 step program. You work on one thing a week. Sometimes you can end up doing a step many time before you can get past that area. I have been off my meds since about Nov and I have had...

Terry, I cannot even imagine what that must have been like for you. I was not offended by what you had to say in anyway. Venting is a good thing to do. It will help you to recover. I wish I could give you the answers to make everything better but I can't. What I am learning is that I cannot...

I am glad you now know Piglet. Know you can work on getting you better. Take care and have fun with your friends and take it one day at a time.

I am having a better day today than I have had in a long time. I have met a new friend and things seem to be looking up today.

He came over to pick up somethings. I wanted to talk to him about a lot of things. I still love my husband. I know for most this is hard to understand as he had an affair and is living with this woman because I kicked him out. He and I are not at a place right now where we can talk to one...

Hi Paul, I understand where you are coming from. I have PTSD and it was rough on my marriage because I did not understand it and my husband could not fathom it. He wanted me back they way I was when we first met. In the midst of all this another trauma happened and we stopped...

Life is a struggle. I had been doing so good but the ex came over today and he upset me so much that I went out and got drunk. I so much wish we could get everything settled but he is still running from everything. He did the same thing when we were together. He says he wants to move on but...

I hear ya young and angry and I think they both need a big round of applause for having a site where we can find others who are suffering from the same illness and not feel like we are being judged because of our illness.

PTSD is a disability according to the doctors here in Canada but the government does not thinks so. I had to go back to work even though the doctors do not believe I should be working or ever again should be working as the finances could not be covered by my husband work. Going back to work...

I am assuming what BB stands for. I haven't watched that in awhile, what is happening. I do agree with your analogy too Anthony.

I agree there must be something in the water lately or the air. I have been feeling blue of late too. I wish you luck with your doctor visit and God Bless You.:crazy-eye

I know how you feel about waiting to find out the diagnosis. I was searching in the all the places I could find to determine what was wrong with me. I was first diagnosed with general anxiety disorder and they also thought I might be manic depressive as my adopted father has the condition. Not...

it is the same in canada. It took two years for the diagnosis to be final but my phsycologist called in PTSD right off the bat. I had to stop seeing him as I could no longer afford it as my husand cut me off from his health plan and our plan only covers five appointments a year. I am now...

thanks for all your words. Some days I am strong other days I lose it. I have a really good friend who is there for me when I start to get down. Tonight we are going to see Ice Age II I think. My father's birthday is this Friday so I will see how I do this year. Last year I was still...

books to read Hey, I completely understand where you are coming from. I worked for the government and they could not understand PTSD and did not renew my contract. From my personal experience most companies do not understand PTSD at all. They think you can take a pill and be cured. My...

There is more to the story - it got cut off. I am 35 years old now. At 24 I was in a car accident and the affects of the accident drove me to drinking and partying even more than I was already doing. At 27 I met my husband and we were married in 2000. In 2001, my husband and I were in a car...

Hi I am new to this site. I suffer from PTSD. I may have been suffering from symptoms of PTSD for most of my life as per my phsycologist. I will begin at the beginning. I was adopted more than once before the time I was 4 years old. I do not remember much about this time but the doctor...
