..when you have to remind your doctor about your medication they forgot to prescribe you because you're going through withdrawals-thus, becoming Mr./Mrs. Hyde. You've memorized your medication.

I do random acts of kindness as much as I can because people in this world have nothing or are less fortunate than I am. I'm going to donate a lot of stuff to the homeless shelter next week. Thank you all for the idea!

Thank you Sara! It's strange. I use my PTSD to fight back when others can't. I've set a few people straight on more than one occasion because they come out with this passive-aggressive tone of BS to another person. It's malignant narcissism-my Dad plays that card well as those who use the race...

No one is normal and we aren't our illness. I had to remind myself a lot that I'm not PTSD and I don't have to explain reasons to anyone. The few in my circle know I have it-one of my best friends has PTSD and understands. When I read your post, I thought that was me. No one understands what...

*cracks my neck* Huh. His excuse is a nonplus and he's the problem instead of the solution. You are reaching for help and he says this garbage. If that were the case with me, I'd leave his sorry butt on the curb. You need to think about you-not about his opinions.

If I'm correct, I'm thinking Freedomfighter is generalizing things they've gone through lately or have for a long time. Some people are fake, some people want to use you, abuse you-they have nothing better to do than feed their own ego. I've been judged all of my life and finally have the...

My Lord! What an awful Christmas! I disowned my biological family 5 years ago and haven't looked back. Every year it gets difficult until I remind myself WHY I don't communicate with them. However, in saying that, look at the triggers and back away a little at a time or all the way. This time of...

I read everything. This bastard wants you dead and the system can only handle so much of the issue. No one is willing to help you. All I'm going to say-if I was in this position, I do something to help myself. I wouldn't just stand there and take it. Eventually he'll get to everyone and God...

One of the leading signs of trauma in women is sexual activity, extreme one end of the other. The reason why I wrote what I did is because I was playing Devil's Advocate. I know about celebrity and the sex industry to the point I'm rather sick of it. All I see is sex on TV. Very sad. I don't...

My mind went political for a moment and now I'm back (regarding this issue). I too was bullied in high school too by a bunch of guys I wouldn't sleep with. Bullying in any way brings on triggers. I hate and loathe bullying in any context, any place and anywhere-I don't care what language and by...

Okay I'm going to spin this. Did Piers state his opinion about Gaga because she was a celebrity or as a human being? Was he comparing PTSD in veterans vs. Gaga's confession? I've seen Gaga's videos and they portray her as a sexually active woman, sure of herself and going "both ways." I'm not in...

..when you fall, you think you've hit your head on the ground. You're wondering why you've regained consciousness.

Well, everyone...this is week three of my fall that broke my left foot and gave me a contusion on my right leg. To say the least, I can't bend my foot and depending on my contusion leg is painful. I'm in a boot cast and I'm black and blue. The fall was bad-I was sight seeing. Okay, I was...

..you think of moving two steps back by contacting your family, but make 3 steps forward realizing that contacting them would be the worst thing for your health.

Things that make me feel that I'm home: my blankee, my bed. Oh yeah, my faith.

How am I going to get this house clean? How am I going to get through school when I have four courses instead of 3 this quarter and keep up my GPA? (It's 3.67) Why can't I get moving and get rid of a lot of shit that I don't need? How can I make my appointments for therapy when I forget them...

All I've ever done is survive. It's hard for me to pinpoint a time when I could feel because I'm in survival mode all of the time. I feel as if I cannot feel because it's robotic the way we have to survive. I'm, at this moment, am not taking care of myself like I should and need to write down a...

Oh yes, I've been there. If I feel happiness (just like the other posts), I feel guilt. Worse yet, I cannot allow myself to feel happy because I've known misery for so long that it's been a trusted friend. The best thing I've done is relied on my faith to get me through minute to minute and not...

I've been going through a lot myself with 'life.' I'm going to school, working and trying to deal with my emotions on a day to day basis. I would never stop therapy because it could be your only stability mentally. I can't stop mine because I can't hold things inside for very long. The best...

I'm grateful for many things-this forum, my cats, et al. Most of all, I'm grateful I'm alive and here to help those who need me.

Today, I was pretty much told to f*ck off because they didn't believe I have CPTSD. Because I am open, helpful and kind, am I not able to try to get pass the disease that could destroy any ounce of humanity I have left? I decided to just leave and stay here. I read some of the stories here and...

I just left a forum that I really liked because I was different. Apparently they don't understand that with PTSD...you have ups and downs like depression and at times, you go overboard and, anyway, one of the moderators told me I really didn't belong because I was inaccurate in some of my...

Just keep up on the meds. Keep on them forever and I'm not kidding. They have saved my life!

...when everything you hear makes you cynical.
