I have never asked for your opinion, or anyone else's. But you are running commentary on other people's therapy and supposing to know what someone else's therapist is thinking. Who do you think you are?!

I think you need to stop running commentary on other people's therapy, Ant.

I found Effexor to be ...ummm... problematic. Of the SSRIs, I've really only found sertraline to be helpful. Just what I've experienced. Scott

Well, I am pleased to say that I am going to be moving in 2 weeks :-) Haven't told the neighbours and wont they can be a head case for the next person here.

I (think) it's the kids, although from what I've seen it could be the parents. I got so sick of it I super-glued the damned thing shut. But my meter was read last week (they opened it) so now I have a webcam hanging off my front door so if they try it again I'll have it on video. Always useful :-D.

Yes, I've tried talking to the parents about the kids which ended up with me disliking the parents more than the kids. Apparently they have something of a reputation in the street, just my luck to be living right next to them...

I am having a period where, after a while of functioning pretty well, I seem to be going backwards. My neighbours are nuts. They have, seemingly, a bottomless supply of children. they are knocking on the door at all hours of the day and night, sending the dog nuts, interrupting my sleep, as I...

I have similar reactions to the same drug. You're not alone. I have several friends who can't tolerate it either. I hate it. Scott

Good for you :-) I've got 500+ days (longest time since I was 12). Still smoke though. Scott

If you have hypothyroidism, then thyroid hormones will work far better than antidepressants.

Yes! After a lifetime of "She loves you" :poop: people are starting to see how much - and why - the bitch does what she does. And it does not exactly make her look good...

Yes I've read it, it's a very good book to starrt with. It explains a *LOT* of the trauma symptoms, even some I didn't know I was having. Scott

I've thought about it, and so has Yeti. She used that concept to blame ME for CHOSING HER. I told her that if I chose her then I must be, as she says, certifiably nuts.

I've had some pretty shocking insights on antidepressants. A recurring one was (and still is): "Just how F/N unhappy AM I?" You are not alone. Prozac can 'unfreeze' your brain and how it has found a way to cope with how unhappy you are (by shutting down awareness of how unhappy you were/are) But...

Me either. And of course I now know what isn't normal (having both Yeti and Dud with card-carrying personality disorders) but that's a long way from knowing what IS normal (or even if there is such a thing, maybe I'm lucky in that I haven't been inculcated into a "normal"... coz I just *KNEW* it...

You too? I thought I was the only unique person on the planet. I have those fears too. Just don't know how to get around them. If you find a way, could you please post it? Thanks, Scott

Yep. And some people are familiar with it but dont want to deal with it.

Who (else) here has ended up being, at least temporarily, the quintessential bum on the streets? I have been in the past. The way people care for those less fortunate fills my heart with joy... (kick) Met LOTS (I'd say at least 25%) of people who have *major* PTSD symptoms, so I know there must...

I havn't had any outright hallucinations without "helpers". Had a couple of times where I thought I'd done things I hadn't though (that can be heaps disorientating) and a few times I thought I hadn't done things and discovered they had been done. By all accounts I did them but the memory is...

(Are you sure you are not being a bit overly controlling, Anthony?) In short, you bet I've been in this position. Relationships with people who constantly bitched behind my back (exactly what Yeti used to do). I've had enough. And yes, the abuse stops with me :-).

I can't stand answering the phone. Even just it ringing makes me jump out of my skin.

I think lots of people toy with the idea. I know one woman who was a pretty eager beaver for rough trade. Which was OK, but when she started on the strangulation I was starting to freak out. She tried it on me once and... I DID freak out. Very triggering. Scott

I agree with everyone who said that was sexual abuse and I might just add colossal enmeshment. I can just imagine what else went on, Yeti was rather good at it too (Yeti is a malignant NPD). Get some therapy for sequele of emotional incest, since that's what it was. Scott

Like I'm fighting a losing battle with the schoolyard bully.
