Here's a story that I came up with awlie ago thats easy for others, as well as children to understand the effects of trauma and abuse. As human beings were meant to do the best we can to survive. With parents or others that mean us harm, our minds arn't capable of dealing with the threat of...

Disappointingly enough, I'm constantly aware of the other, and only black out when working out. Though the workout a few days ago was a 10 mile hike. Exhausted but barely made it back home. Right now it's hard to trust all of me. And have gained 20 pounds because he wants fast food, worse I'm...

States and situations, seem to come and go, as well as stick around for as long as it pleases. I've had C-PTSD since 04 and recently have DID. for now most of my friends don't want to be suportive. ANd am haveing difficulty trusting myself. the more you open up the more help is available for...

Thanks, I've found no support and have been having a hard time coping. The stress has triggered somatic pain. My brother refuses to understand and has pretty much cast me out of his life. I haven't said this to anyone but, during the first month my alter took a handful of Seroquel. I walked...

This is to say the least...I've been isolating recently because of it.....The alter my "phych. will take control sometimes and say I'm dating him. I thought I had issues before this!. The more frustrating part of this is "he" had me e-mail nonsense letters to the real doc. along with a love...

Yes, I've been there, when he "forced me to say that I think I'm pregnant"....and the most awkward part is when I say I'm "dating" him. I went on some forums but haven't received any answers. It took months to compromise on not swearing in front of my father. When I was first aware of it,I had...

Thanks, It gets very frustrating when"he" says he can go away at anytime just go to mental health. Or he'll fix me

Well, it is a side effect of the abuse and PTSD, but yes, I'm reffering to the personality when I say he. Odd thing is "he" emerged before I even saw the real doc.

Mind sets are hard to change, but PTSD really dosnt help the isolation. think of things from their point of view. Might be difficult at first but it's a dissorder of the effect of the cause..trauma. Be it a car wreck or more damageing traumas. most differently from PTSD is your way of thinking...

I'm sure you know that PTSD is a big stigma, and think of it more as what happened ..not a mental condition. All things have repercussions. Do men really care about bed sheets?....not really. When it comes to food and hobies then he won't complain. Next time shopping ..bribe him with his...

The best thing I've found is to not push your views on him. PTSD is a mental dissorder but also a stigma. Were not feeling as sorry for ourselves as some might think. We've been through more than some proud CEO's could probably have gone through. sure they can say sh^t but can they take it...

The better you know someone and the more they love you, the less they'll judge you. Keep in mind that it didn't happen to them ie; the PTSD stigma. as long as they know the real you, the more they'll care about what has happened to you and can help you in times of need, be it to go to lunch or a...

Dissociative identity disorder. This condition, formerly known as multiple personality disorder, is characterized by "switching" to alternate identities when you're under stress. In dissociative identity disorder, you may feel the presence of one or more other people talking or living inside...

Another thing I wanted to mention is when the alterseems to take control over me. And was wondering if anyone else has experienced this.? Thanks for the info Abstract

I have those also, not all the time but their very distracting, and seems to be getting worse. In a sense it seems like an seprate identity or entity in my mind at times. I haven't talked to my T about it, but can re-live my traumatic experiences with it. Although talking about my trauma and...

I was interested in asking if DID (dissociative identity disorder) or also previously known as MP; If anyone can list the differences in the symptoms. The explanations seem similar except for the meds. I have been aware of a type of "different" personality in myself, where I'm "not myself" and...

It's difficult to learn to trust people after haveing been traumatized, but just learn to trust yourself and what you do for others. Take their comments about whats good about you and stick with them

I've been diagnosed with cronic pancreatitis, though the enzyme levels don't always rise with some of the pain attacks. Processing my trauma has helped a lot, and talking to my T. After years of being on narcs. the Dr's give me a care plan where I get an inj. of I.V benadryl which helps. (Think...

I've been going through 4 years now of abdominal pain. I've suffered from C-PTSD since 04, and found tht talking about my traumatic events has helped a great deal. You can't really understand the somatic pain that happens, but unprocessed trauma haunts you. Even some trauma that you might not...
