    What To Do About Therapy

    The best part of life is that you have to find your own answers. They most often won't find you, and if your looking for a man you need to consider the kind of man you want, and if your really ready for that. I suggest trying to improve yourself makes you more valueable to your date, gives you...

    Medication Compliance

    I was using rhetorical questions to establish my point... I'll be more direct. It's natural to have inappropriate thoughts, and its natural to want to imagine what life could be without your medication. Your said that medication makes you feel like you lost apart of yourself, particularly your...

    Medication Compliance

    From what I understood you felt certain about needing to use meds correct? It seemed like you said you still had a hard time taking them despite the positive outcomes. I was simply saying that: Yeah, i know its tough to do the right thing, but I agree with your logic. I said that because it...

    My Life Is Hopeless....

    I am so sorry. If you die I will know, if you die, other will know. I am so sorry you have to go through all of this alone, and I am sorry people take advantage of you. There is good around you, there is a God, there is also Godless people bent to do ungodly things. I believe that we cannot...

    A Dream, To End My Reality.

    For awhile now I have been processing my PTSD in religious symbols. Being a Christian this seems dangerous to say the least. Putting pieces together, I knew walking into this that I needed a abstraction, and a understanding for the negative voice in my head. That instinctive feeling of fear...

    I Want To Know Why I Was Raped

    I'm sorry this conversation is necessary. I will never forget the day I was told 1 in 4 women will be sexually harmed in their lives. Thinking of two of my best friends, my grandmother, and one of my sisters 1 out of those 4 have been hurt in that way.... I cannot express how upset this makes...

    Feeling Like Screaming Out When Crying

    It's very hazy, but I had a lot of moments like that growing up. I used to give in to them which was really bad, and it never helped to listen to the urges. It can be fuzzy, and it can be harmful. I don't like it when it does happen. I wish I had more advice, but I am not ready to think about...

    I Want To Know Why I Was Raped

    For me, I take a teleological approach to my PTSD. That means that PTSD for me is not a accident, and I believe for me at least, part of it means making my weakness my strength. PTSD has point for me, it was/is to make me stronger, to appreciate the good days, to understand that I am no better...

    General He's Driving Me Nuts!

    I have had ptsd snake in and out of my life. Various symptoms, and other things crop up here or there, and it is always changing for me. It takes a new kind of person sometimes to deal with your issues. It takes a lot of self-growth. Sometimes the world thinks you can be you, and just put all...

    Should I Just Give Up On Dating?

    You said you need wisdom. Let me tell you, I am very wise, and people keep saying this, keeping acting like I am. I have still here, giving advice, and yet everyday I fight this PTSD, and I used to think "I am such a shitty person no one wants"... Lol, It's taken quite the team of friends to...

    Rejection...... Is She Ever Coming Back?

    Hey man, look, i know it is hard, being only a young man of 20 maybe I don't know what I am talking about. For me, these are the moments that make me or break me, knowing what I have to do is always hard. Move on, someone out there is ready.

    Rejection...... Is She Ever Coming Back?

    Your both in a place of upsideness, and you don't know anything. i think you simply need to take time to figure out your life, and not really hers. You understand? Don't worry about whether she is coming back, focus.

    I Want To Know Why I Was Raped

    There is a game of predator-prey, and its stupid. Statistically speaking, at least from all those non-profits informing me on rape and domestic violence at my school a few years ago. Men rape not for sexual pleasure, but to dominate/feel powerful. There probably wasn't anything you could have...

    I Want Back Into The World...

    I had my own kind of hermitage. I was in middleschool, and they were very mean and rude to me, and I picked up some trauma, so I basicly blocked people out. If a girl so much as smiled at me i turned away. Some people tried befriending me, and most I locked out of my reality. I remember the...

    Subconscious Thoughts Coming Out In Therapy

    It's uh, what I used to do with my counsoler. It was basicly me monologueing for quite a while, him picking out what was unhealthy and then posing questions. Off I would go again saying stuff I didn't want to say or didn't know about myself. It's pretty normal. Don't distrust it.

    5/6 Year Milestone With One Company....

    It's those that cry that are the strongest. It takes someone to be strong to trust, but if your gut says this job is bad, it's bad. Trust yourself, obviously you have proven to yourself, and to the people on this forum that you are strong. If you can do that, you can trust yourself to sort out...

    Suicidal Friends - Terrified

    Having PTSD I put a lot of pressure on myself to the point of seizures sometimes. Or so speculates my counselor. My dad taught me this, "do your best, it's the best anyone can ask of you" You can't bear the weight of the world on your shoulders. Good God have mercy on your soul! Look, your...

    Am I Helping Or Making It Worse?

    @bell No, I am not new. But I am not prone to anger with my PTSD, and I have not met many people who are veterans. My situation is different then many, and similar to many. Anne if you need anything else we are here for you.
