Timetoheal-I am seeing an good therapist but want to see a more experienced therapist, I have to wait till I make more money though. It really does help to talk to other survivors here and to know how you all feel too, thank you. JBS-You know what my partner tells me when I try to makes sense...

Hello JBS, Welcome to the forum! That is a common worry for many PTSD sufferers. I am 25 years old and have been in a 5 year relationship. I am constantly pushing my partner away because of fears of being a burden or not being able to be healthy for him. Luckily I am with a very patient and...

Sometimes when I think about the past or a relive it, I get so confused. Things have a way of having such a dark irony. As a Child and teenager, my sister tried to stab me with a knife and each time it was treated like it was my fault. the last time she spent 10 minutes taking shit to me and I...

I have been to one support group but it wasnt a pleasant experience. But I have consider trying again, maybe it will help.

I am in threrapy, but even in therapy I feel that no one believes me, or they just do not understand. I want to see a new therapist but I cant afford one.

Today I was very sick so I had to stay in bed most of the day. Sadly this led to myself not being able to keep busy and distract myself from facing the many triggers I have been facing. I am taking MMA classes to help aid in my recovery but it is not easy. Although I have experienced multiple...

I know its really hard. Sometimes it is common things we encounter in life that can trigger bad things. It sounds like your husband is very understanding. Maybe you can make arrangements where if he drinks he has to shower after, or go out to drink. One day you may be able to not relate the...

Onesie-Yes I constantly want to hide too. My room is like my little cave. Thanks for sharing. :) (Hugs) Notsowild-personally I think the best people I have met have been odd balls.

One of the things that just makes life so difficult is my anxiety when socializing. It does not take long for people to see I am odd or awkward. Its like my brain is working to fast for my mind to keep up, if that makes sense. Its like being to excited or nervous. Whatever it is like, it is an...

I really been appreciating everyones advice and experiences. I can relate in so many ways. It is really hard to manage ptsd and a lot of the time I feel confused on how to approach symptoms and other stuff. Its an inspiration to meet so many people who live with ptsd and see how strong and...

Its hard you know. I deal with constant anxiety. Through the years I have made much progress, but it still lingers, reminding me of my shame and helplessness. One of the methods I use to heal is taking martial art classes. I have been doing really well, but sometimes I encouter triggers in...

miss_understood, Hi I have not been on in a while, I have read your past post and I hope things are getting better now. Many people who suffer with PTSD feel the same feeling your feeling. The good news is once you push past those horrifying feelings it becomes more managable. I can not say you...

I'm sure your loved ones will forgive you. The first step is most important. You are headed to better things for yourself.

Thank you both so much for your advice. I am happy to help in any way and appreciate the help in return.

I come on here hoping to get some support in any form, I have decided to take down some post because it seems no one really views them and they are taunting me. Just knowing it has a physical form here in cyber space can be overwhelming, so I decided to only seek support for my symptoms...

Aw, are you away from your wife now? It really depends on the kind of relationship you two have. Personally, I think most people would appreciate the insight and beauty behind what you express.

Amazing.

I am so sorry to hear that, Keep fighting strong, you will get your kids back. I know what you mean when you say the abuser always wins, but if you keep up the fight you can win too.

I accidentally posted this in the wrong section, so I re-posted it here. Usually I can handle the memories of my past abusive relationship fairly well, I could distract myself easily, or not feel the physical symptoms that come with it. But its weird, I hurt my jaw while surfing and its...

I am new here too, and may not be the best person for advice. I can tell I understand a lot of where your coming from, I am 24 my last relationship was very abusive, I left him. And am in a new relationship He knows everything, he constantly came home to me curled up in a ball crying and...

a therapist. Thank you those words mean something to me.

I have been dealing with symptoms up and down often. After therapy and excersise and living healthy, among using the tools I have learned to manage this somtimes I feel like it will be all over. Like with all these things I would finally escape my own taunting mind. I will do well so long, but...

Thank you everyone for your feedback.

Thank you for your time and advice Franciemarnie. May T has never gone over feeling safe, she has gone over other things, I will make sure to bring it up next app.

Idk. I keep replaying it, I want it to stop, I don't know where to turn. There not many people who can handle what I am. So tired. I want to blurt the memories out and get some human connection through them but I don't want people to see me for who I am. There is so much shame. IDK if that makes...
