I have been reading your threads, the ones that have already been locked and this one. It is interesting that you keep arguing that you do not respond to therapy and that you do not need anyone to help you with your PTSD. I am sorry that you have gone through so much therapy and still have...

Handcleaner, the kind that mechanics use will take ink out.

Anjelica, I am sorry that your father made the decision he did. Of course it hurts deeply, he was your father and you loved him. I am also sorry that you can't find a way to forgive your mother. We don't know all the details of what happened when you were a child and I keep trying to not...

I have noticed that all the details don't come back all at once when the memory hits me in the face. It used to be overwhelming and now when I have to get through it I don't have to relive all of it. When I first began to talk about "it",it was hard to talk about in the past tense, now it is in...

I agree with this point, grounding isn't dealing with the issues. Grounding is calming our fears and lowering our anxiety and brings us back to the here and now so that we can look at the situation more clearly. It allows us to respond to the actual situation and not what the emotions and...

I have never had a sense that I belong anywhere. Maybe it was because of the trauma, the unconscious knowing that I was supposed to die from the first memory I have of my life. Maybe it was from being moved from school to school, from city to city and province to province my whole childhood...

Has he been diagnosed with PTSD? What you are describing is not included in any list of PTSD symptoms that I have ever read. He could have another disorder that is causing his compulsion, such as OCD that has already been mentioned. That is something that should be discussed with a therapist.

@Ms Spock sending you virtual hugs!

It sounds like he is using you and his wife, when it gets bad with one he has the other to hook back in. He is probably saying the same things to her that he is saying to you because he does not want to be alone. I think your instincts are right, you have to look after yourself and your...

Hi Bedbug, You are not a bad person, you are a person going through overwhelming emotional stress. You are right that PTSD is not an excuse for abuse and now you have to learn how to handle yourself when you feel overwhelmed, a situation that you are acknowledging. I am not sure how much I...

I don't think you are being overly sensitive, I would find another doctor, one that understands that it is a real condition that you have. I second what @rightkindofme already stated, she should be reported.

@Ryn, I don't mind telling you, I was 5. It was a single incident that did not involve my family. It is my earliest memory, how it all started. There are impressions I remember from earlier that directly relate to it but they are just impressions. I was kidnapped but I thought I knew him, I...

Ryn, it took over 40 years before I started to remember what happened to me. I was so young at the time that I didn't understand what was happening. For most of my life I could only remember to a certain point and then it was like a wall. When the memories started coming back it was a comment...

Welcome to the forum. You have been through a lot, more than anyone should have to go through. It sounds like you are having panic attacks and anxiety. I have those little memory lapses too when I have been having some anxiety. There are some threads and information on dissociation and...

What a beautiful little girl. I have always loved the name Nikita. I am so glad you had such a smooth delivery although in the midst of everything it feels like anything but smooth. Only piece of advice I can give you from a grandma to a new mom is, follow your instincts, you know your baby...

Hi Britt, I know a few people posted that they are waiting to open their gifts. A couple of people are at school and their gifts were sent home and a couple others posted that they wanted to wait until Christmas to open them. I am sure they will post when they have opened their gifts. :)
