Thanks for the warm comfort. {{ hug }} No, we do not own our own rig. Been there twice and bought that thirty twice. We're company drivers, thats what gives us a leg to stand on. We've been placed in a hostile enviroment. I figure being I called in last night to cancel our trip they wanted...

I suppose I've lost another job. At least this one lasted nearly 3 years. This is revealing myself somewhat but I drive a truck with my husband, we team. I drive the night shift so I am not bothered as much by traffic, people, etc. I get in my little bubble and I am fine. Its not easy, I am...

Things are looking up as far as effexor is concerned. I have had some really bad days getting it in my system but the cloud started lifting and yesterday for the first time since starting it I did not have to take any other meds. I feel like I am coming down from the clouds, I am eating a lot...

Britt, I used to have a black thumb! For real. But I found refuge in teaching myself how to better care for my plants and I've found a deep love in caring for them. Wen I'm in my green house its like I am in another world. I am able to escape my PTSD symptoms.

{{HUG}} Welcome!

Thank You, I take great pride in the only thing I still find joyful in my life. It is productive and it gives! The hard work pays off when you can harvest your own fruits and veggies. The taste so much better than the stuff from the store. I started gardening to supplement our food as well as...

I call negative people energy vampires, and that is what they are for me. Its like they turn my good day upside down. I have had to learn to just cut these kind of people from my life. Its not easy to do, but I am getting better at it. There are days when I look at my husband and ask if I have...

NAMI is a mental health advocate. They have groups set up all over the place and they educate about mental health and they host group meetings. The person who hosts the group is trained by the organization and they are not therapist, but they are trained how to lead a group that can get together...

Britt, best of luck to you. It is not easy giving it up, but over a few weeks it will get easier and easier.

For me it is the AWAKE flashbacks. They put me into a daze and cause anger and bitterness. The second most affected is the nightmares. sometimes I relive the situations, and sometimes I have morbid dreams about my situation. Those morbid dreams are my fears manifesting.

I am a 13 year sufferer as well. It is only in the last couple of years that I was able to get proper help. I pray that you find the proper help and are able to get better.

Shawna, Welcome, I too am new here and I promise, you will feel very welcomed here and find lots of support. I too am from a small town. If I can make a suggestion, I am new so I do not know if this is against the rules or not, but I found a local group in my area through NAMI. You can google...

I LOVE flowers. Last week I went out to my greenhouse to clean up out there and I found this.... The plant you see must be confused, it normally does not start flowering until March or April and goes all the way until August or September. I grow a LOT of flowers. It is good therapy for me...

I live in the South of the USA. Today was cool, but not cold, just cool enough you needed a light sweater. I moved seedlings I am germinating out to my greenhouse. While I was in there I fed all my plants, rearranged a lot of plants to make room for more plantings for the next time I come home...

Apparently according to my husband I slept for 20 hours yesterday, he became a little stern with me or disgruntle, however you want to view it. He came in my room to wake me up several times and I just could not get up. Finally I got up, he tried to get me to eat, which I am not doing since...

I had slept too late yesterday, then felt groggy when I did wake up, so I went to bed about 10 and woke up at 1. I could not go back to sleep, so I have been keeping myself busy helping the housekeeper clean and getting some much needed paperwork done. I am worried about my work situation, and...

What keeps me going is that if I take my own life I will loose any chance of reconnecting with the two people I love the most that I lost as part of my trauma. I keep going each day to hold on to hope that I will someday be able to once again have those two in my life. Also, I think about my...

Watching my seeds grow into plants, it is the only hobby I still enjoy.

I have spent the past 5 years drinking, heavily! In December, I stopped! I started realizing that I had a problem. My dad has damaged his liver from years of drinking I have had to see what it has done to him. I liked to drink alone, It drowned out the pain. I loved nothing more than to start...

Yesterday I have a migraine, it was so bad that I had to go to the ER for some help for it. Thankfully I had very young and understanding doctor. I explained that I was on effexor and had just startedit a few days ago and I understand that headaches could be a side affect. I got a couple of...

Today was an easier day. The headache was not as bad. I did some reading up on it. And I hope that the side affects do not last long so I am able to work. I return to work either Sunday or Monday, I do not know, I have not called in yet to see what they want me to do. So I am hoping the...

I started the 75 yesterday. Woke up in the early hours of the morning with a massive headache! Had to take some pain pills for that and ended up sleeping most of the day away to try and get rid of the headache. I have a really dry mouth. I have been drinking tons of water.

I think taking the dog out at night would be good. At first you may feel uncomfortable, but start out with a short walk and then add to it a little at a time to get your confidence back up. It is NOT easy, but you CAN do this! Back when I had problems leaving home I was not diagnosed and so...

Bless your heart! You know... your story makes me realize that when sometimes were feeling down, we need to realize that someone somewhere is having a worse time at it than we are. I have never been bed ridden like that, and I do not know how you sustained that. Whatever led you to that...
