What support are you getting and from where?
I still have a therapist through our local mental health programs, this forum, and a local support group not related to mental health in anyway.
Are treatment centres encouraging the government to support those who are non-military?
ROFL, what...
I like all the posts in here! Njray, I just have to say.. I think my humor button is broken.. cause your post made me scratch my head.. and go.. wth? ROFL So I had to wait for someone else to post to figure out if you were pulling our legs or serious! :p

Welcome to the forum Roe. You may want to post this in the Supporter's section that is found just above the PTSD section as you will get more answers that are directly from other supporters that have been in your position and can give you appropriate support and advice.

I want to put this out there and hopefully most read this. Lately there has been piles of attack posts. There have been accusations, insults etc... Anthony has gotten the worst of it but I've had it slung my way also, so has Nicolette and a pile of other members. When one member states thier...
I can't say I had anyone in my life like that, however my son did! I had uncontrolled PTSD for most of his formative years and hypervigilance is one of my worst symptoms. It was one of his worst too. He didn't seem to have as many severe symptoms as me though (different traumas, different PTSD I...
Get the hell out now! This is not embarrassing behaviour this is terrifying! He already has his back up "your crazy" story polished and in place for when he BEATS YOU and YOUR SON! This is not PTSD this is woman beater! Please leave for your sake and your sons sake.

Is it a full moon or something? Why is there a "jump on the bandwagon" mentality on the forum lately? Really I think everyone should just take a breather.. remember don't post when your pissed...
Welcome to the forum. C-PTSD is not imagined, it is simply not being added into the new DSM. It's now being referred to as complex trauma (which is what it is.) We have an entire section dedicated to complex trauma. I was once confused about the impact on me but I am not any longer. I have...
I don't have Crohn's either but I suffer from IBS as do many others on here. I can not take the medication for it and have to attempt to control it by diet (haha.) I also suffer from continual weight loss. I have no ideas where Crohn's is concerned unfortunately but if you want to complain about...
Yeah it's getting tiring saying that over and over again. LOL Allergy meds are gonna knock me out in about five minutes here.. LOL I also get the whole red, itchy, watery and glued shut eyes thing.. so much fun! not!

PTSD has the same sets of symptoms whether it started shortly after trauma or delayed. :) There will always be variations within each individual however I'm sure you'll relate to a lot of us, our symptoms and efforts. Welcome to the forum.

I'm just wondering if anyone else has noticed this or read about it. I noticed a few years ago that my allergy season was starting earlier each year and getting longer. Now it starts mid-March and goes all the way to mid-November for me. I bascially live off of stupid allergy meds now. (I just...
Although my experience is a little different, yes I have experienced this. It is actually a part of dissassociation. I particularly hate it and tend to get them when I'm getting flashbacks I simply can not handle due to the emotional impact. First I would say that you need to look at coping...
....when you asked your psychatrist for a wallet card that says you are certifiably insane so the next time you hear.. what are you F'ing crazy? you can flash your handy-dandy wallet card and say.. why yes I am.. I'm certified!
(please note: psychs do not find this amusing and refuse to give...
Honestly I see a pattern of red-flag could be abusive behaviour here and PTSD is no excuse for it. Everytime you spend a moment with freinds he gets pissy and won't answer phone calls or texts? That's called punishment and retaliation. You try to do something nice for him and he starts a fight...
