So, i have a Roomate that is ex military and about 15 years older than me. He was watering the front bushes too much. I realized it and put a sheet over my closet so you can't see my clothes or belongings. The bushes were growing way to much and the other girl roommates bushes weren't. I...

I leave the carrier in the room for awhile and give them treats, praise and pets when they approach or go in. I also put their fav blankets and toys in and give treats as traveling with soft music and lots of praise. The vets sometimes have cardboard carriers too. I would leave the carrier...

I have had the same experience with the triggers and pain. I think it's a memory that triggers dissociation. Can't be sure. Would love to hear what your therapist thinks. Found grounding helpful and EMDR.

Haven't heard of it. What sort of technique do they use? Sounds a bit concerning that you are in a trial with so much at stake and not too much info. I'm really cautious with new stuff like meds because it usually takes a year or so to work out the kinks or find out the consequences. Please...

I'd drop that t like a hot potato. Need another eval without telling them about that one.

That sounds normal! Grieving can bring up a lot of emotions; sadness, anger, relief. It sounds like you are experiencing the rounded picture of your grandfather; the good and the bad. Hope you go easy on yourself and take care of yourself during this time.

Jeff, I am so sorry this happened to you! It was an accident. You didn't kill them, circumstances did. So sorry and hope you can find a great therapist and support system!

I thought I had schizophrenia and was freaking out about it then found out it was dissociation and PTSD. Felt I had to find out what it was cuz I felt I was going crazy and that scared me. I had actually moved back to my home town after being 3,000 miles away and I think I was getting...

It's nothing huge; I go to you tube and type in EMDR. There are a bunch of EMDR videos that pop up. I like the balloon one, green dot and white box one. I stare at the balloon, dot or boxes and think of the stressful things that are bothering me like a big paper, roommates, work, recent...

Sounds greedy. I'd look for other options but you know your situation better than me

Love sea turtles and relate to them. sea turtle rising above the crashing wave of PTSD and conquering. Inspiration.

I start feeling like I took drugs sometimes; sometimes I don't realize it or what it was. If I start feeling like I took drugs, I try to ground and tend to isolate cuz the symptoms are overwhelming then later when they are more mild, I call on other defenses like friends to talk to, prayer...

You sound like a loving, caring mom who will do anything to help her baby! Wish you could be cloned! The faulty door is the landlord's problem. He shouldn't make you replace it. If he does, I would calmly try to meet at a reasonable solution between you and him and then look for another...

I just try to be. I don't advertise it but the jumping at people near me gives it away. I would say my job but I recently lost it there too. I said to myself pretend that if I don't finish this paper by tomorrow I'll get fired. I unfortunately couldn't finish the paper and thought I'll just...

Welcome! Many people experience at least one if not more aspects of what you have experienced here. Hope you find the support you need and deserve.

I don't need a friend to talk to, I have those. I need some actual help cuz these issues are really bothering me.

Hope you find all the support and info you need here! You are awesome for taking your kids out of that situation! What a great job you are doing; trying to heal and move forward!

Me three or five or a million

Mafia science If I knew then what I know now I would have left the home and tried foster care cuz any protection that you can give yourself from the abuse may stop 5 years of torture later on down the road from the effects of the abuse. The effects are worse than the abuse!

She was strangling me and I strangled her back so she could see how it felt but not to kill her. I pushed her off of standing on my feet and she burnt her hand on the wood stove. I felt bad for a second then I've felt good about it since haha. It was too dangerous; thought I might snap and...

Yes! Have problems with jumping out of my skin on everyone but whatever to the memories. Also a lot forgotten. It's the hyperarousal that really bugs me! Wish I could offer you some advice but can't, only that I am with you and you aren't alone on this feeling.

I also have heard that in order to heal, the toxic people have to be put aside. Not easy with a narcissist. Boundaries and back up plans help. The best revenge is healing!

So soorry to hear that the diabetes insipidous is back. remission is the hardest time with diagnosis! It is so stressful and glad you are writing out your frustration. You deserve to be frustrated! I agree with Friday that being ticked and angry about it is the sure sign of a fighter and...

Normal to me also Maybe a form of dissociation?

I like coco's response. You need to know what is in the IV / medications. Found 10 min of EMDR helpful on you tube and deep breathing and grounding. I don't recommend jumping into any new medical treatment. Usually it takes a year before all the problems that people have been having get...
