Understand AI use at MyPTSD: all AI use is explained in our AI help page. AI use is by choice here. It exists if you want it, but does nothing unless you choose to use it.
Some people forget, or never knew that when we feel angry, disappointed or whatever at someone, that there is a thought process that occurs between feeling the emotion and acting upon it.
When this happens, more than likely it is felt as a conflict that needs resolved, and instead of forming...
Welcome to the forums. Try not to focus on whether people think you are a liar not. Many of us here like to support one another. There’s lots of valuable topics for us to read much to learn from each other.
It took a trauma therapist eight months to admit my diagnosis even though I endured...
I used to feel that way everywhere I was. Somewhere along the line I acknowledged that I had skills that were useful and something to add wherever I was. There are certain situations however where I feel I don’t belong but maybe are also not healthy and so I am OK with that and I will leave.
I know what you mean… I had a hard time with trying to understand what normal was supposed to be.
And so I had a hard time with the test as well.
It’s sort of like my anxiety and my history of it. I went my entire life without properly feeling, internalizing, expressing managing stress and...
Ugh... I was on the road to recovering from all the work I have had to do lately. New Year’s rolls around and Bam! I’m extremely stressed from the events earlier in dealing with my family. My head is stuffed with inner dialogue and feels like I have brain fog. I’m so tired hopefully I wake up...
New Year’s was hard for me too. Major problems with family. Once I put it out there that I’ll help one of them, it seems like they just want to pull me into their world’s which are really messed up.
It’s very stressful even just trying to help a little bit. I guess that means I should just...
I know what you mean… The girl I live with that I really like, I tried to do some of her chores and she said no I’ll do it and I said no it’s OK I don’t mind and she responded by saying just let me do it, I find it relaxing.
This is a totally acceptable conversation. Where it goes wrong is if...
I think about this and I know the folly of wanting to fix or save someone. Or wanting that in return. I had been guilty of that, disappointed and turned myself overly selfish.
In some cases people don’t want fixed. Simply helping a little bit letting them know if there’s anything they need...
Certain kinds of pot works pretty good for anxiety. If I ever deviated however, it just causes anxiety.
Also I know of no pot that does jack for panic disorder. Smoking pot during a panic attack sounds like a terrible idea!
The right kind of pot is safest for anxiety.
I prefer diazepam for...
I drank for twenty years off and on in an attempt to smash out the negative inner dialogue that plagued me. Not under its influence, I frequently felt self doubt and what I could identify later as anxiety and loneliness.
After PTSD I noticed that drinking would give me anxiety if I didn’t...
Ohh I’m sorry.. I just got out of one of those. I was stuck for days! Still having sleep issues from it, still trying to find things I lost... picking up the pieces today... now if I could just sleep!
May 2, 2011. Site saved my life. It was a port in the storm, truly. When I take a break and go back out in the world, I feel great about what I’ve taken with me from here. I have not only learned much about what is PTSD, but also human nature as well. This place is a treasure trove just look.
