Thanks ISH. I always miss your comments! :hugs: Manic

I heard a quote from a good friend of mine from this forum that says "I have PTSD. PTSD does not have me." I'm making a painting that says exactly that. It's a good reminder. Good for you! Manic

Wow...that's a good point. I would like to know if there is medication for it. Thanks for posting this. Manic

First off, good for you for even getting out of bed and going to work everyday. With all the triggers at your work, I can't see that being easy at all. Is it possible for you to take more time off for counseling and treatment? Maybe if you speak to your family doctor about this, you can see what...

So I thought everything was fine with that but it turns out she really does think I'm a liar. She then went to tell my whole family which is now ganging up on me. She then went on to tell my boyfriend that it's not true and he doesn't know what to believe. I've lost everything now....

Thanks so much for the support everyone! It feels like the only support I'm getting... She just "kicked me out" of the family. She was abused by my father as well! I thought maybe she would understand and be very supportive considering she understands how it feels. She knew he hit me... But...

Also would like to add that I agree with everyone else when they said you are very brave for facing that. You should be proud of yourself. That takes a lot of courage! Manic

I say the same thing constantly! 'Why can't I just be normal like everyone else? Why is this so hard for me? It's not this hard for everyone outside to leave the house (for example)." You aren't alone here at all. That's PTSD...Hell...That's anxiety. I've had really great outings then come home...

Everyone has to do it their own way. If thats how you had to come out with it, James, then that's that. Either way it's brave. I appreciate everyone's support. I just wish she was more supportive. Part of me wants to shake her and tell her to support me! I'm her daughter! And the other half...

I'm really at a total loss of what I'm going to do. I've been trying to apply for Temporary Disability for some time now but because they can't "see" my disability they think it's all a lie. I get panic attacks that last for hours when I have to leave the house....even days before I do...

I didn't think I would EVER do that. I was going to take it to my grave. Although, I didn't tell her much... I told her about the molestation and how up to when he abandoned us (when I was 8) he made me touch his penis... She told me a was a liar... It took about an hour until she started...

My therapist made a really good point one day... She said you cannot control how people react to things. It's true. It's like me saying I don't like your shirt. You could either shrug that off cause you like it or get extremely upset with me and never wear the shirt again. What I'm trying to say...

That doesn't sound too safe to me.... I've spoken to a doctor about a patch I can get but it's also... What do I do when I miss it? When I want that one "last" hit just one more time... Manic

Does anyone have any detox tips? This is very, very painful. I'm trying to wean myself off of it but its still so painful... Thanks, Manic

Happy Birthday ISH!!!! I can't believe it's been a year already. I remember posting to your Happy BDay thread not too long ago! Either way, you're still young! I hope you have a great day! Much love, Manic

I have both nightmares and flashbacks every night. It used to just be nightmares but now I'm having both and I'm not sure why. When I'm falling asleep, I'll have flashbacks and talk without knowing and my boyfriend will talk to me until I fall asleep. It helps a lot with the flashbacks but I...

Stay strong hun! :) Manic

Thank you! I'm glad someone sees where I'm coming from. It's more the habit sometimes.... Does weaning yourself off the drug your addicted to work? I mean it avoids withdrawal more....but I can't really see it working... Manic

It's considered a lose dose for me. I apologize. I should have cleared that up in the thread. The highest dose of pills that they perscribe are 1 mg pills and that for ME is a low dose. 0.5 mg is usually the starting dose for more doctors. Don't take anymore than you need. Manic

Thanks Jude. I appreciate your support. I helps just knows someone understands. How does the Xanax work for you? A low dose of it (1 mg) will calm me down during a panic attack but 2 - 3 mg will help me to sleep. My doctor perscribed them to me because it helped both the panic attacks and the...

Thanks Liz. I just suggested the Xanax for myself as a helping hand to wean myself off the snorting habit because it's a very lose dose pill (I'm supposed to take 6 pills of Xanax before bed because my doctor messed up the dosage of the pill. They are .5 mg instead of 1 mg pill which they are...

No, that's a very good point and something I've been thinking about doing. In October, I plan on being sober again. I'm not letting this relapse take me down. But my problem is that I don't abuse this drugs orally. I abuse them by snorting them. So I've been thinking of crushing a pill that's...

Miss you Popeye! Miss having you around. Glad you're back. Hope all is well. Manic

My partner is on painkillers that are narcotics and I have tried taking them to calm down my anxiety. They work so well to calm down my anxiety. Once I take them my chest opens up and I'm calmer and everything is okay. Such as my partner stays awake until I'm asleep. I feel much safer when he's...

I completed the last 3 years of high school online from home because being in a public setting with so many people and with men around was unbearable. I have just quit my job as my anxiety levels and stress levels were out of control to the point of my physical health getting very severe. I am...
