Hi Rani- I have been breathing and doing yoga. Last night was scary. Today is better. It seems to come in waves. The relationship was so very confusing. He is so loving and giving. But also so very emotionally manipulative in a passive aggressive way. Whenever I say how I feel he says oh you...

I haven’t been on in a few years. I managed quite well until I started a relationship. Things have been like a horrible rollercoaster. We recently ended. My self worth is plummeting and I feel I am spiraling downward quickly. the relationship challenged me a lot. It statrted fast and ended...

Hi Outlaw, I am very sorry for your pain. In can sense how much you are suffering right now. All of us have pain from time to time, and pain can be a strong motivator for change however, suffering is optional. Suffering is unnecessary and a waste of time. It comes in the form of negative self...

Does anyone have any funny movie suggestions for when I'm feeling sad? I need to make a list and need some help, please.

Thank you everyone. Your advice does help. It is not simply my daughter moving out it is since my accident I have no support. I have social anxiety so friends are few and most of my time is spent alone, with my daughter, or with my T. I know that suicide is not the answer and now I am much...

I have PTSD from a multi car crash and am disabled. My daughter helps me daily and recently she told me she is moving in with her boyfriend of two years. My world crashed and I felt all of my support float away. On May 3 I overdosed and 911 found me unconscious at home. Twelve days later I was...

If you look for apps on your iPhone or iPad there are some great ones out there for DBT. I keep a folder called PTSD on my iPhone with DBT and CBT apps as wells as meditation (which is part of DBT) and various others. Feel free to email me and I will give you my list privately rather than...

Thanks but my doc is being unfair to me and won't prescribe meds. He knows. Have a stockpile in the house and he wanted me to count the pills. I did which did not help my SI. I am so upset with him right now.

I've been numb for four years...when does it end? Or is it my job to end it?

Im very angry right now. HELP

My doc threatened mental health on me today so I clammed up.

What Hosp on the east coast?

Can't write much due to bad arm. High pain in my arm, shoulder, neck, leg, hip, and back. My doc knows I have pain issues and bad PTSD. I was honest today at my appt and told him my depression is getting worse. He asked about my SI and I said that is there daily. My doc took all pain killers...

I am almost four years into my trauma. Mine was a multi car collision that left me disabled. I am just trying to understand what happened during the four hours in I was trapped in 27 degrees. I don't remember a lot of it. Piecing it all together is a scary thought for me. I don't know if I am...

I wax and wane with my dark thoughts. Will it eve end? At times I feel like I am on the craziest roller coasters ride of my life and right now the ride is going down. It just happens, the thoughts just come. High pain, high stress, just be done with it all...that is my thought process. I is...

I called my T tonight....I was in major distress. It was a very difficult day for me. He was in session when I called and I suppose I couldn't wait the fifteen minutes for him to call me back and I needed to deaden the pain....inside me, physically and emotionally. When he called I was already a...

I told my T today about a very vivid SI fantasy...something that I have thought of a lot. I think it unnerved him but he said as long ad I want to work through it that is positive. It's such a wicked battle. My T team goes through the ups and downs with me. It makes me feel so sad for them and...

DBT has worked for me and a friend of mine both, and we both have PTSD. In the USA it is once a week in group and once a week with your DBT T...not a huge time commitment nor a huge monetary commitment. If anyone is interested in exploring Barnes and Noble or Amazon there are many workbooks on...

I did DBT and loved it. The contract is to assure continuity with the group. Remember you will be working with people like yourself who do not want strangers coming and going. It is also to assure your commitment to making it work. You can do it. Good luck!

Not old enough for menopause yet. I don't drink, so isn't that. I think it is likely nightmares. I wake up with a sense at I had nightmares but I can't remember them.

Thank you so much for your words of support. It is very meaningful. :)

Hi Red- I am a sufferer. I can tell you that when I was spiraling there was nothing that anyone could do to pull me back. I needed to fall as far as I could and be alone until I found inner strength to help myself. Through it all I heard everyone but was not accepting or necessarily responsive...

I do work with the disability office. They help tremendously. I don't know where I would be without them.

Does anyone here get night sweats? The kind where you are comp,etely drenched from head to toe and you just don't know why....if yes, can someone explain why this happens?

Wow! I am sorry that happened to you but thanks for sharing because I don't feel so alone now. I am considering legal action against her as the day she trapped me in her classroom and blocked me from leaving, exasterbating my claustrophobia from my trauma and causing me to break down in front...
