School is still pretty tough for me. Still struggling to pay attention in class and falling asleep in class due to exhaustion.

I've had a busy week and have been behind every day this week with not getting enough sleep. Causing me to be late and when this happened I forgot everyday this week to take my effexor and have been feeling awful yesterday and today. I've been dizzy, queasy, headachey, and very depressed. I...

Have you guys heard about this movement? I'm concerned about it and the destruction of what feminists have done for gender equality. Some of these internet memes have been absolutely horribl. They jokingly advocate sexual and domestic violence. Make a mockery of women. I know men have it tough...

I could not fall asleep again last night and it was too late for me to take my ativan if I wanted to get up. Took me a while to get down I tried at 11 but was up until 1230. Then at 3 and 4am I could not sleep and had to be up at 645am. I am now super tired. Class is almost pointless because I...

I'm in the class at college to get a service dog. Today was the first class and last night was my first lab! It was a ton of fun! We had 3 puppies to work with and 2 older dogs! The puppies were fun but took a lot of patience. I was lucky to have puppy play time for the chore!! Learned a great...

Happy Veterans Day to my fellow vets! Enjoy your day today and remember you are not alone! Enjoy the free meals if you can go out today!

So therapy has been great about having me learn to be honest with me and accept/deal with emotions. I have been repressing them since I was probably about six because of my upbringing then the military taught me how to better mask them and/or use alcohol as a cure. In doing so I have...

After presenting my leadership interview with my fellow classmates went extremely well, I have decided that I would love to become a motivational speaker. Being in front of people makes me extremely nervous. But I also love teaching people new things and helping others. I feel like I have been...

I have been a hot mess since Monday. I can't focus on anything at all except the pain I feel and thoughts of taking my life. I have gotten a total of 9 hours of sleep since Monday night. I have been speaking with friends. Monday was the worst and I ended up drinking to numb out until I fell...

I have a friend who also has PTSD and we have similar situations that happened to us. She knew I was PTSD before I did ad before I was diagnosed. At first she seemed supportive and helpful but now I feel less and less supported each time we talk. Is this normal for other folks with PTSD not to...

So my school is taking veterans on a trip for our fall break absolutely free. Signed up with two friends. However, I am worried about what if I have a panic attack or wake everyone up screaming at the camp site because of my nightmares. I've been under extreme stress lately. The trip is in three...

So my T pointed out this past week that I always avoid the questions asking what my emotions are in regards to things in therapy throughout the CPT. I also do this in life too. I was raised to think that emotions are bad then the military helped me to learn to mask them on a much deeper level...

I've been going to each class and therapy has been going well. However, in my class I can't focus no matter how hard I try. It's like I'm not even there. My t said it's normal with all of the stress and CPT. I just want to know what is going on in my classes. I hate being lost and confused...
