I don't want to scare you or come across as unhelpful, but disorders like that... Aren't curable. Atleast not to my knowledge. It's a working progress and some days will be better than others. The therapies that work best for you won't necessarily treat your conditions, but they will help you...

@Simply Simon Idk, maybe I just took everyone's comments wrong. I just felt really judged. Like everyone was focusing on their opinions on whether having your blinds, curtains, shutters open is weird in their area or not. I guess my real point is this: I've come along way in just three years...

I feel like youre all missing my point. It does bother me all the time but mostly at night. And I guess youre right on the cultural thing because a lot of other condos leave their blinds open aroud here. And I know it's not just something that bothers people with PTSD. But it doesn't just make...

Thank you all. I feel a little better. My mom now closes them when I get home lol. She use to tease me about it but then realized it was something that really bothered me. I don't feel so alone about it. It just kind of stinks when I'm living a semi-normal not so sick life, then there it is...

@Simply Simon Yes, sometimes when I've had a really anxious day. And I'm sorry to hear that, but glad I'm not alone.

Side note: I've never been stalked, never had an intruder, and never had problems with the police. Although, I think it could be related to my mom going to jail as a child and me watching. I just feel really unsafe when they are open and like someone is out to get me.

I know. This will seem so silly to everyone. So I live in a condo and my living room window looks out onto our parking lot. I can't stand them being open. I get so anxious. Especially if a cop goes by which is hard to avoid because a cop lives a couple buildings down. If you can understand, I...

Thank you lol. No. And I'm trying to get a letter from my therapist currently so that the disability resources can help me. Which i think will really make a difference.

Hello So I recently went back to school and I'm also working full time and it has been a difficult time for me. This one class in particular makes me feel nervous. To the point i don't want to go. I do the work, its easy stuff but the teacher.... I really can't quite explain all of it but she...

I think a lot of you are misinterpreting the difference between a want and an action.. Sam wants them to be together and thinks it'd be for the better but it doesn't mean Sam its going to disrespect her wishes.

I understand that way too much than I want to lol! It is really hard being with someone who has never been abused or doesn't have PTSD. Because they're both such lonely situations and like with her right now, their are times like this. And you understand. I don't think someone who didn't...

@Sam115 I think you are a really sweet person. It seems she is going through a lot right now. From what you say about her i feel i can relate. My last relationship I was in, I often pushed him away. Id talk to him but I was cold and one dimensional. It's funny you say that about a lot of people...

I was hurt when I was 4-6 years old... I didn't start remembering until my Junior year in High School, which is when the PTSD reared its ugly head.

I've heard what everyone has said and Im thankful for the time you have all taken. It might help to have a little background. I was forced to move here to Florida. Because I was living with my parents and my situation was hostile at best. And it was showing in me. I was cutting and trying to...

Oh my gosh! lol. I didn't even notice that. As a therapist! He's about 58 and Im 21 hahaha.

A friend of the family is a therapist and I was seeing him for about a year and a half.. Then, it stopped. Eventually I contacted him and we talked about getting together and meeting up, but it never panned out. Now quite a few months later and still nothing. I've had so many guys in my life and...

Thank you everyone. You all had great advice. And I'm going to listen to all of you. I don't think I'm quite ready for everyone to know. Even though I'm personally ok that I have it, I don't need others to know and judge me for it. He does appear to have some boundary issues.. Maybe things will...

A couple months ago I was talking with a coworker. And he shared with me that he has PTSD. And it took me back. Mostly because he said it so easily.. But I was torn. Should I tell him or keep it to myself. Obviously I'm still unsure lol. What would you do? I wouldn't tell him why I have it...

@Kalbi Being here does help sometimes, because most people you interact with don't have PTSD or atleast you don't know it if they do therefore can't relate to them on that level. I relate a lot to what FindingMyself88 is saying. I don't remember being a kid and I remember thinking even in...

Thank you all! Especially Albatross. I wish I could feel that way but it's ok I don't. I just wish I could be proud of myself. She is doing better and she is home and no longer taking that medication. So we're getting there slowly but surely. Thank you very much, you're words mean a lot. I'll...

Come on let's give Kalbi a warm welcome! :) What ever has brought you here whether we call it PTSD, CPTSD, or just keep it vague and call it a disorder... Welcome! I'm sorry for what you were put through; every child deserve love, respect, and attention but sometimes life has other obstacles in...

I was diagnosed with PTSD 3 years ago, after graduating High School. I was sexual abused as a toddler and I've come a long way in just 3 years! Recently, after the death of my dad I started living with my mom. Everything has been pretty smooth. Until recently my mom had surgery done on her neck...

Thank you all so much. It went better than I thought it was going to go. He was a very nice man and was nervous too! lol. He was really afraid of upsetting me because the questions themselves are cringe worthy.. I have a really long way to go, but this first step was great. I have many more...

Techniquilly today at noon I'm meeting with a police officer and my T. Both are men. I don't know what to think or expect. I'm afraid of not being believed, I'm afraid of crying, I'm afraid of panicking. It happened about 18 years ago, being raped by a family friend when I was about three years...

So I've met this new guy and he is literally perfect. I think I might want to get pretty serious with him, I just don't know where to go from here. Every date we go on is always great. We have so much in common. I just have no clue where I go from here. Who brings up the going steady...
