This may sound strange, but when those feelings start to surface for me, I try to envision myself as a little girl. Once I get a good picture of her and how hurt she is, then I, as an adult, go and take care of her like she were my daughter. It's like a daydream, but both sides of me get that...

I can empathize so much with this situation. Especially with head trauma, the feeling can be hopeless because there's no marker to hit for this test, or medication that can truly make you feel like you did before it happened. Truth be told, it can get overwhelming just from the embarrassment...

I have to talk about my brother. If I don't, then I will probably implode in an embarrassing, seizure-like adult fit. It's hard to explain why I will never be jealous of my brother's success. Most people think I should be, or that they would be. Truthfully, I think he is wasting his life...

I feel sick. Like.. puke sick. and annoyed at being sick because I'm sick of being sick. I just want to eat pizza. That's it. Everyone else got to eat it I mean... wtf I want that pizza.

Thanks :) I'm still remembering things here and there which is weird. Just when you think you remember it all, as soon as you start writing it down whoa.. the floodgates open lol.

omg it freaks me out too hahaha

Yes for Prazosin. It's used for blood pressure, but it blocks some of the adrenaline that we over-produce in ptsd nightmares. If you have a nightmare that is basically the same every night, this med can potentially break the cycle of the nightmare. Personally, I love it. It doesn't put me to...

Megalophobia = fear of large objects. lmfao. sounds so funny, doesn't it. But it's a real thing. Just watch me look at a wind turbine or a plane on the tarmac. I will collapse... like a bunch of broccoli

I don't think so much I've learned to "trust" so much as accept people. I know there's the potential that they will fail me in every way possible, so I don't expect the next person I put faith in to be superhuman and make me happy 4-eva. As long as I can trust myself and my reactions to bad...

Delusions are a common sign of bipolar. Bipolar mania can be triggered from trauma, deficiencies in diet, lack of sleep, change in meds, or even a visual trigger (from tv etc.) onto a particular topic. Bipolar is overdiagnosed in my opinion, but when someone got it, they got it. Have you ever...

I would check with a Rheumatologist to be on the safe side. When I get angry, my arms hurt. When I am pathetically sad, my legs hurt. It's from Fibromyalgia. A lot of pain can be caused by stress due to this, and it in itself can cause a person to be depressed. Many people are misdiagnosed...

I didn't even know this existed as a term. Why was I afraid of the plane, but not to fly? Why did I pass out on a ferris wheel only when it began to move? Why I can't look at a wind turbine without feeling like I have to hide? Such a strange phobia. The fear of large objects, but for most...

Yeah. I left out the 20 years that I traumatized myself basically. Nobody did a bigger number on me than I did. I'm pretty sure I'm glad that I can't remember it. Sometimes, people tell me stories of stuff I said or did when I was absolutely wasted. It was a long time ago, but I'm still...

It's like.. you can tell someone about it with words and the words go into the air and away from you but writing it in black and white is really playing on my fear of commitment. As an infant, I would have multiple seizures and become very ill. This was puzzling to the pediatricians because...

Cannabidiol liquid drops(extracted from grower-friend) for fibromyalgia, B-complex vitamins, melatonin (works great 5mg and up), the occasional benzo here and there when I'm tweaking out but it leaves me with an emotional hangover. I try to stay away from it because it's just too comfortable to...

Weight gain, yessss. I'm 4'10" tall (Shirefolk) and I put on 50 lbs with that in conjunction with Depakote. Wow. Talk about depressing :\ But once off, so was the weight. Now I'm back to the healthy weight of a wet cat.

<- posterchild. 75mg for right now, but it started at 300, then 225, then 150, then 75, then 0, then insanity, then back to 75. It takes a while to adjust to the cycles. Brain zaps, twitches, insomnia, it totally triggers my fibromyalgia to flare up. I wish it didn't make me so damn happy...

I watched my brother use wellbutrin and chantix to quit and boy did he have some bad side effects. He's a doctor, and even he didn't see the toll it was taking on him until others sat him down and told him. Creeeeeepy.

I literally snorted when I read the thread title. I always thought it was awesome because I figured I'm almost 36 so I got 4 years to get my stuff in check lmao

Become insanely wealthy just to hire David Attenborough to talk me to sleep every night.

Hysterical kid giggles

Oh I got more. T= therapist M=me lol T. Why didn't you call me when things were getting crazy for you? M. ...I was crazy. T. What I'm hearing sounds like the pattern you go through here and there, and these things do pass for you. You know that. M. So.. you're fired and I'll buy a...

Facebook can sooooo be a double-edged sword. It's great for sharing news and pics, but boy do people feel great when you tumble. They'll even "like" it. I only post what I don't mind my therapist reading, and I try not to post when I'm upset. It can be hard to do. I see people on my friends...

My goal is to go to an appointment that I'm nervous about. New doc, perhaps wants to dick around with my meds I'm guesssin. Thing is, it's a week until school starts here so he better move it or lose it because I'm not losing it in the first week of school lmao. I hope he can figure out the...

My goal for the day is to really try to be quiet because it's sort of like the concept of drunk-dialing. I don't want to be that guy, and I got a feeling I would be if anyone started a topic that I'm sick of at the moment, or like my IQ suddenly dropped because I'm not being agreeable. Not...
