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.
Relief is here so I have everything that I “need “I am released from the bondage that is my job! I will settle for a glass of water now before bed.:sleep:
Wow you are so right about music! Over several years my interest in different types of music has expanded largely. Also I have discovered symphony which I really enjoy going to. I guess I feel it does soothe my emotions or helps me relax.
I understand. And that everything that I listed isnt a problem. It is just something I stated because I noticed some of these things were changed as a result, not for the better but that doesn’t mean that it is a problem. I manage these things pretty well actually.
And actually it’s pretty...
Close your eyes and take a breath, now open them and realized that today’s not that day that everything is OK. You really are in a safe place now.
I think what I will do is what everybody else does and that’s pick a resolution for the new year and also maybe I will think of a goal and things...

I am looking forward to people coming home from vacations to give me relief, so that I can take a break from my work and revisit what my normal life looks like.
Oh I know that what really gets me going to… Especially hearing about Salvation Army being broken into and toys being stolen. Situations like that. Another thing is people stealing off of doorsteps the deliveries from UPS and post office.
Or hearing about people who manage money at charities...
Just start off by being interested in treating symptoms themselves then. Both of you may not be willing to except the entire diagnosis but I think we can agree that you should at least recognize symptoms that are there and go about treating those.
Try not to worry too much about the entire...
I sort of observed that too with the panic attack I experienced while I was on it. Instead of attempting to ground myself I just sort of sat there and continued to play video games all the while I was hyperventilating but it didn’t get too out of control it was kept at a subtle level.
Yes I...
I hear you there… A good therapist is in it for you for the long run though. Instant gratification is always nice I know. But delving into the fringes of how our minds are working to develop new understanding is stressful but necessary and sometimes it is even designed that way as to help us...
Do you know what your goals are in therapy? I’m currently looking for a therapist again because I stopped going along time ago. But now that I want to go back I have my own goals in mind. Goals I will share with my therapist. I think this will help keep me on track. Maybe it could help you?
Yes and so I shouldn’t expect too much from our plans what that means. It helps me not feel so let down. Whether this works in your relationship is entirely up to your perspective.
It also helps that I bring it up but being the way that I am, it’s easy for me to be too critical or...
I live with her and we are close. So I could not help but feel some level of rejection. Meaning that she did not care how I felt. Or that she simply didn’t value our friendship enough to accommodate her word with me.
It also made me feel really bad for her because she does have a problem with...
My friend did that to me once. I am the one with PTSD and she is not. Our plans were to go with another friend but she had to go and get them.
She loaded her day with all kinds of other things and decided that she didn’t have time to come and get me for the movie and so I couldn’t go. She...
It dawned on me the other night that if you could deal with the side effects, then just take that medication during the day.
You could tell your doctor that it doesn’t work for you at night and maybe the doc could give you a separate one to take only at night but you would still have the...
Those short half-life/short acting benzo’s are dangerous. They pack quite a punch to panic.
I actually preferred clonazepam and diazepam. The effects last along time and it stays in the body for far longer.
I observed with me that I could skip taking them for two days but on the third day I...
