    Leaving House Makes Me On-edge, Hypervigilant, Paranoid.

    There was a time when I could not leave my house. My situation was not at bad as yours sounds, but it was bad. I just COULD NOT go, COULD NOT leave. I got really good at getting people to get things for me and really good at ordering things on the internet so I did NOT have to leave the house...

    Do You Have To Start All Over?

    Thank You. I have had a hard time recovering so far, but I am on the up side now. I was supposed to be down for 2 weeks, that turned into 8! I had complications, which is rare for what I had done, but I am on the upside and feeling better and stronger every day. I can drive myself now and thats...

    Starting Therapy On The 25th

    I was having issues before the surgery. It took me 3 months to get to my P. But the surgery did not help things I am sure. Well not so much the surgery, all the FREE time I had sitting around. I was on bed rest for 4 weeks. That did my mind NO GOOD!

    Starting Therapy On The 25th

    After being off meds and out of Therapy (T) for over 2 years I start again on the 25th. I had given up and thought I was doing good, my symptoms never went away, but I was doing decent enough that I thought I could go without them. Then things started getting bad again the last few months so I...

    Effexor Xr, Efexor Xr, Venlafaxine...

    I am starting effexor XR 75 today. Well the generic form because that is what my insurance will pay for. My insurance only pays for a handful of name brand drugs and some drugs not at all. So I am able to get this for $8 and some change for 30 caplets. That is a good thing considering it may do...

    Do You Have To Start All Over?

    Hi all! I talked to my GP today about the having to start all over and that was a mystery to him. But he asked me who my new T was, he knew who my P was, come to find out he did an internship with my P, and he has worked on many cases with my T. So going to a new GP was a good thing, almost...

    How Did You Sleep Last Night?

    I did not sleep at all. Storms were all around us and my little dog was nervous. No one gets sleep when he is nervous. He even had a little doggie valium his vet gives him for his anxiety about storms, and that did not help him last night. Then I had to spend the morning fighting my short term...

    Do You Have To Start All Over?

    These are not dreams that are messages, I do good with those. I understand what your talking about. The dreams that are causing me problems are the ones where I relive my trauma, or when my fears are manifesting themselves because of the trauma, sometimes guilt.

    Do You Have To Start All Over?

    Yes I have to start at the beginning of the dream again and start all over and finish it. There are times if I just get disrupted for a moment in my sleep that I will go right back where I was interrupted. But if I get WOKE up then I have to start all over. I am just now getting back into...

    If you are having one of your dreams where you are reliving a situation or you are having a nightmare based on fears and you get woke up by someone or your alarm do you have to go back to sleep and start all over? For instance, I will be sleeping, I am in the middle of one of my dreams it does...

    Sufferer Ptsd And Adult Add

    I live in the middle of nowhere so finding places to volunteer are not easy. I have been on medical leave from work and tomorrow I go in to see if I am well enough to be released. I am going to ask him to keep me off for at least one more week, possibly two so I can get some things under...

    Sufferer Ptsd And Adult Add

    Hello, I have had PTSD since 1999, but it took years to get a correct diagnosis. I was told I was majorly depressed, I was BiPolar, I was lazy, I needed to just get over things.... I have had problems holding down a job my entire life, especially after PTSD. I have been at my current job for...
