I'm not sure, Digger. I think the situation that happened in my case was something different. If cards and edible arrangements aren't good enough for the poster, I know people who would love to have cards and things given to them out of genuine and unconditional love. People here need that...

I say it because I WANT to believe someone to love me unconditionally but have a cynic view about people who say they love me. I was told by my therapist that I don't receive love or any kind of emotion for anyone because of what I've been through. However, the love and care I give others IS...

WAY TO GO!!!! You made a HUGE milestone and I'm so very proud of you. I, too, submitted my essay in class and got the highest grade in all of my professor's classes (totally caught off guard as it was a rough draft as a final for class). Please keep going!! Writing like this will help you in...

I remember when I delivered flowers a long long time ago that a lady bought flowers for herself and had them delivered to her door while her husband was home. Apparently, he didn't give a damn about her and I felt sad for her that she was married to such a ***k. When I delivered them, she closed...

I suffered from one not too long ago and I memorize my dreams down to the second. Instead of being terrified about it, I am actually letting one of my favorite horror authors write a story about it..... (((HUGS))) I want to hug so many of you...this is making me cry...

My thoughts..my thoughts..okay, collected. Your therapist's approach was stark and scary. We, as sufferers, are already walking on broken glass enough. Our bodies as well as our minds cut up by the shards of pain as the scars are reopened time and time again, not by choice. A therapist is...

This is a great moment for you! We are all here for you and will forever be in your success of moving. I'm going to be moving too however, the planning stages are being worked out.... Congratulations, hon. You've earned this happiness!

OH MY WORD!!!!!!! Congratulations, sweetie!!!! I love hearing people succeed! You are awesome!!!!

"I smoke two joints in the morning, I smoke two joints at night..I smoke two joints before I smoke two joints...then I smoke two more.." Sorry, everyone. I was remembering a song sung to me in the past by a friend who smoked and, if I remember correctly, I was a huge pot head in high school...

I'm a writer and I could help with many situations, many topics and also be of help to those needing support. Let me know if you need help, Anthony. Heather

Therapy, to me, is a double edge sword whose blade will dull after a while and I become skeptical, bordering on cynical. Therapy is SUPPOSED to help you confront your past and help you to deal with the reality of what happened to you. Although I found an unconventional therapist who has hit my...

Do I feel like my childhood was taken away? All I can answer is, "What childhood?"

I did something similar when I saw my friends being wheeled out in a gurney after being shot to death and worse yet, it was all on TV. You feel that you should've done SOMETHING to stop your friend's death and coming to terms with the death is complicated for you. Your mind is telling you to...

Age: Yes. They are NOT equipped in the knowledge of handling PTSD in its various states to determine treatment unless they specialize in the field. Most are general practice therapists which doesn't mean jack **** in the scope of what we're going through. They've never been there nor have they...

I once disclosed that I had PTSD and I was shunned by my office as many thought I was two fries short of a happy meal or shoot up the whole office. Peoples' perceptions about PTSD is ignorance at its finest yet those who are ignorant tend to fly off the handle at the first thought of us who have...

I believe it does. I use logic in places where logic is not used when it should be.

Brad, that's bad and that makes me worried. However, I'm a ghoster or ghost hunter and I'm wondering if you don't have spirits in your house. Anyway, you know when you have PTSD is when your memories of happiness are few and far between.

I am currently seeing a new therapist who has HIT THE SPOT in me in dealing with my past. I'm healing day by day a lot better than I was before and I'm off of Valium (I took myself off of a controlled substance) and went more to holistic ways to better myself. I'm working full time, going to...

To be honest with you, a LOT of my friends know what PTSD is and they know my life story. I don't need to explain it to anyone else and if other people "don't get it", then maybe they need an education by being in my mind to know the horrors I faced growing up. One person said to me, "It's only...

I ride the bus too one day a week for school and you did a very brave thing!!! It's the little small victories that can help us; baby steps.

I am so very proud of you! You earned it and did it!!!! I truly love hearing things like this, the positives we accomplish even when obstacles get in the way.

Please talk to your doctors about taking Prazosin if you have been diagnosed with PTSD. It helps with my nightmares and is a blood pressure lowering medication there to help with horrid nightmares, such as mine were.

It's nice it's an (takes off her thumb brace) opinion piece and I'm glad that some people can open up like that however, I'm talking about the newspaper as a whole. I read Psychology Today online but it doesn't mean everyone is going to agree with all of the articles that I suggest on PTSD...

I am from Raleigh, NC and Sacramento, CA and I love fart jokes. The Farting Preacher just does me in.

He needs to be in a facility for as long as he needs to deal with this. The VA isn't going to do crap all for they need to change and needs to be in a facility where he can sober up, get on medication and get the true help he needs, even if that means living there for a year or more. He's not...
