To the victims, witnesses and to the rescuers involved with the recent devastating apartment fires both in new York and in India.

For the past few months I have been waking up two or three times a night at least and will sit up in bed. I will then quickly fall back to sleep in that position, I don't always remember doing it though. I will then wake up at some point, one or two or more hours later and realize that I have...

I no longer meet the criteria for post traumatic stress disorder, my status has been changed after switching therapists to panic disorder. I feel it is only a small weight that has been lifted at this time, perhaps after I have completed my alcohol rehabilitation I will understand more. I no...

Even after 7 years, my loved one doesn't get it. Maybe she doesn't want to get it. My mother denies that I should have problems. Nevermind PTSD. Now I face drug and alcohol treatment and I wonder what the point is. As much as I have tried to empower myself, I am quickly reduced by her...

I wanted to thank you personally for being there for thousands of people in desperate need of their mental health and their families. I have been away for years and have recently come back and realized that nothing has changed in your paradigm. In need myself again, I find that your site is...

The service costs us money, ask Anthony. Some of us are too timid to chat, but don't worry, you can just listen if you want. It is a great opportunity to get some good advise, seriously. I will be available as I can and I invite you all who are on either side wanting advise, company, or the...

My secret life of using drugs and alcohol came to a head one night. I have hit a new low. After drinking most of a bottle of whiskey, I blacked out. I ended up leaving someones house only to find cop cars outside. I don't remember punching the cop car and breaking my hand, the ride to the...

After more than a hellish year of learning to grow in this new skin, I have shed my fear of driving in a very big way. I actually feel safe driving around town now. I also have a job which I never thought I could handle again. I have quit drinking and that is still going pretty well. And...

Ohh my god!! Why am I so hopelessly addicted to this bubble shooter of a game? Cuz it's freakin awesome that's why!!:O_o:

Sometimes they do quite a bit with me. I even check sometimes to see how stressed out my body is.

I have been getting cramps pretty much anywhere along my rib cage and back. I feel like it might be related to anxiety but wanted to throw a net out there to see if anybody else has cramps all the time. Post Ptsd.

I just wanted to say how awesome my therapist does her job, I have come a very long way from what I used to be. She has her imperfections like any other human being. I get a long with her and will miss her when we one day part ways. I have opened up and been able to analyze my past and...

After doing a little research and talking to my doctor, I am seriously considering one of these types of drugs to help combat my nighttime anxiety/panic and symptoms that make sleep difficult. I have the usual benzos to help and everything and am already on an antidepressant. But I would prefer...

I was actually looking for a connection between carbon monoxide poisoning and Ptsd, I was curious because I worked with a lot of chemicals also at the time I had my first panic attack, sure I had plenty of loss, abuse/trauma while growing up, but I can't help but wonder when I found this article...

Please post if you wish to elaborate on your worst symptoms or how they effect you. If you have conditions you believe were caused by your ptsd, (example: fibromyalgia ) and you feel those symptoms are worse than others listed please feel free to share, however these examples will not be a part...

Sunday my ear started hurting really bad, I went to the doctor and they gave me some antibiotics for it. My ear feels like its full of fluid, that is because it is. I'm hoping everything will be fine, this has happened to me three times this year so far. Decided to go outside and get some work...

Explain if you wish to tell how temperature extremes effect your ptsd.

Does anybody else take this? I know it is typically prescribed for only a month at a time, but my doc has allowed me to use it for an as needed basis. I noticed that I can feel really sleepy for up to 15 hours after taking a 30 mg dose. But If I don't take it at least once a week I start to...

I have found a new game, I had no idea this game was so awesome. I'm going to have to seriously try to limit my time playing these games. Earlier this week I forgot to take out the trash, I forgot what day it was also, been putting responsibilities off... oops. Still what a great game, this is...

I sometimes get this feeling out of nowhere where all these feelings of despair rush over me. It makes me want to say ''ohh no I am going to be like this forever". Almost like I am about to panic. The feeling rushes over me and is gone within a moment and leaves me feeling depressed. It feels...

I wish we could add another mood to our profile. For example: I would be a Chatty Chicken today. Or the Bitchy Bookworm. What would you be?

Tonight I was able to break through my disassociation at tonight's get together party with my girlfriend's family and relatives. It took about 2 or more hours but I eventually came out and was able to enjoy the company of everyone, fireworks were also fun. I haven't been able to have fun with...

So in an attempt to rid myself of video game addiction that took up my whole day, I have found other fun things to do. When I am done with any responsibilities I have such as cleaning around the house, getting groceries, looking for a job, cooking for the girlfriend, ect, I usually like to play...

I have been on a dose of 40mg celexa for awhile. My doctor has just prescribed to me Amitriptyline for my insomnia. I'm aware of the risks now of combining these two types of drugs, but had no idea at the time in the office. Has anyone taking this combination or lexapro with elevil or...

Ugh this sucks bad. For a couple weeks now my anxiety level has been rising again and nothing I do seems to be reversing the trend. Mindfulness (although I am new to this), listening to music, drawing, talking to my girlfriend about it doesn't seem to be helping other than to make me feel okay...
