Hi and welcome At first I refused drugs and wanted to fight ptsd without them, my anxiety was getting harder to deal with and I was not able to work, for a month I refised medication as I got sicker, I started seeing a psycologist and that started my daytime flashbacks and increased anxiety...

I have been playing minecraft and I find it very relaxing, I get home from work at midnight and make a cup of tea and turn it on and play until 2am and then I am ready for bed.

I am harder on myself than anyone else can ever be, I think that is the reason why I accept criticism, In my job there is a lot sledging from co workers when I make a mistake and of course I return it when the situation is reversed, I think the tone of the criticism decides my reaction, If it is...

Can I just say try and do it soon, I have been holding my trauma for 30 years, once you start a career it's even harder to do something about it, Stress is a part of everyday life and stress on top of trauma is not a good place to be.

Hello About two years ago I had a TIA (mini stroke) and at the time I was told it was a warning of a pending stroke, I was kept in the Stoke ward for a week under observation while they did tests, my CT scan came back showing two previous TIA and some scar tissue from both of those, I have loss...

Oh I have to look into this myself

You have made the first step coming here, I did the same thing and cried writing my thread as it was to painful to talk about, I know it's hard but talking to someone that is trained to help you is the only way to learn to live with this memory. Make an appointment and you can just sit there and...

Wow, Kids are little people everything is a game, Some scream and run around just being kids, my three nephews are ADHD and they run a muck every where they go, smacking them does nothing, nor does talking to them, The one thing I see on here often is people that have been abused and mistreated...

I can also relate to this, lately I have been told that I had said things I have no memory off

I love getting on the PS3 with my mates and talking shit with eachother, it doesn't matter what we play we allways have a laugh, GsV_63 if you want to add me

Last night I woke up suddenly while having a flashback, I was at the crash site looking at the mess and sat up not knowing where I was, my wife woke because of the noises I was making, The strange thing for me this time is that I had no anxiety today at all and felt pretty good, Normally I am...

For me it's the same I am very jumpy when approached from behind, in a previous job I was sacked for punching a guy who thought it would be funny to sneak up and grab my leg to see me jump while everyone one else watched, The company got a lost time injury and I was shown the door, A bit more to...

Are you on meds? I have lost emotion with my medication so crying is not possible and on the up side I have no reaction to abusive people, Normally depending on where I am decides my reaction. At work I would argue my point and on the street my abuser would get punch in the nose, people only...

When I was diagnosed I told my two teenage kids what I was dealing with and how I feel most of the time, My son said with a smile he just thought I was a grumpy old man, It dose help to talk to your family if they are old enough to understand, my family give me space when I need it. My wife...

My anxiety starts to build and I feel like I am loosing control of my ability to think straight, prior to using medication I would find my anxiety so extreme that I just couldn't do anything, now I can use breathing and find a quite place and relax, It still feels bad but nowhere like it was...

Hello and welcome, I am not a veteran but my trauma was horrific, my anxiety was extreme and with the help of meds and theraphy it seems to of settled, It does spike every couple of weeks to a month when I have a flashback but I am doing much better, It does get harder before it gets better but...

I have crazy dreams that I know didn't happen, seems real but I know it's not.

Haha I said it was odd, I'll get it sent today, I'm a bit old school and we have a new computer with windows 8 and just saying that it makes me angry using it is a understatement, yesterday I felt like throwing it on the ground and jumping on it.

I this will sound a little strange but I can only get on the site on my phone and I don't know my password, I tryed yesterday to sort it out but I gave up,

Ok story is done I will need a email address to send it too

I am off tomorrow so I will sit down and get it done

I have to add my two cents here, I'm just sitting on the fence here and thinking that you are making your self a target, I have done that myself in the past, You have to relise that you are asking a bunch of people with ptsd to help solve your problems, we are all here because we want to talk to...

I was in a bit of a state when I started seeing a psycholigist, I had reached the point where I could not live with my memories, So I just poured it all out from start to finish in my first session and it took me two and a half hours to finish, That was 3 months ago and now I'm dealing with the...

I will write my story and submit it to you, I will be happy to see it when the news letter comes out.
