Hi all, I’m going on a date for the for the first time in about 5-6 YEARS. I have no idea how to handle what to say and/or what not to say about the whole PTSD/anxiety/insomnia stuff. Side note: I’m not “better” at all. Still extremely in the thick of all this crap but my clock is ticking and...

Thank you. It helps so much to put a name to it... so I can understand it better. I will google that as well as IME. I’m glad it’s working for you and hope it keeps on keeping on :) Ohhh, IME= in my experience? Hah ... brain not functioning. I’m not seeing a T or Psychiatrist at the moment...

I’m so lost. I don’t feel like I’m living... no concept of time... sooo sleep deprived... using every ounce of energy to get through the next hour. About 1-2 months ago I moved states back to my mom’s. Can barely remember life before today. Don’t miss anything. It’s like I’m dlowl losing all my...

You are kind. There is NOTHING I can do to make things better. Not with my head not working properly. My thoughts are way too scattered. I think perhaps The lack of sleep is helpful in causing this but I try everything. Every night. To no avail. And then the chronic pain for which I don’t...

I appreciate your message but it’s not the heat. My life is nothingness. It consists of air & anxiety.

New York is going to kill me. The noise, the memories, the people, the CHANGE. My body and mind are totally out of whack and I can’t take the steps necessary to get “help”. I’ve been fighting this for so long. I can’t anymore. There are so many beautiful bridges here & each time I drive across...

So I just made the very difficult but totally necessary move from my own home to move back in with my mom. I’ve been here 3 days and I know I need to give myself time to adjust but EVERYTHING is giving me flashbacks to childhood. And then I get angry. And then all of a sudden there’s tears...

I haven’t had an appetite for years now but I am able to eat when the hunger pains get to be too much. Sadly, starving myself has somehow led me to gain a TON of weight. Lately the appetite issue has become much worse. My stomach is in constant knots and when I manage to force myself to eat...

Not quite sure. I got 3 different strains. Sativa, indica & a hybrid... 10 years! She had valve replacement which unfortunately lasts between 10-15 years...

It makes total sense! I didn’t know if I knew how old I was, I was just simply clarifying :) Thanks for the suggestion but I’m not entrusting my brain to a student!

Thank u so much for ur caring responsibility! I’m always scared to see the responses to my petty issues. I’m mum (that’s for u :)) loooooves taking care of me but not in a healthy way. I’m the youngest of a large family and ever since I was a kid she has confided in me about the adult problems...

Haven’t seen my T in ages bc I don’t have the money & before that I was seeing her every 3 weeks or so for same reason. So I’ve been “on my own” in that aspect for a while now. I have no money except my disability which doesn’t even cover my rent, let alone my utility bills. I’m barely eating...

Her specialty is trauma... I just always assumed PTSD is included in that. She says I can talk about whatever I want but I’m order to get better I need to first relearn the basics & get on more stable ground

My p-doc is useless & I took myself off SSRI’s a while ago. Only xanax & sleeping pills. Contacted my T asking if I can have a session and pay her the next time... she just responded that she’s out of town for the week and will respond when she’s able :( Thank you. I swallowed my pride a long...

I’m on disability and finally have an apartment for a year now after a few years of on and off car living (horrible!). My disability doesn’t even cover my whole rent. Never mind the rest of my essential bills. There’s a job i can do whenever I want and I figured out that I only have to work...

I’m kinda in therapy. Very low on money so seeing my every 3 weeks or so. Definitely not enough. I know my mothers scared and I hate that I make her feel that way. I’ve pushed off her visiting for as long as I could because of that. But it just got to a point where I just didn’t care anymore...

I have PTSD & GAD. I also get depression but I’ve been told that’s from the anxiety being too much for me. My mom flew out here and has been staying by me for 3 weeks, 1 more to go. I wasn’t doing well before she came but think I’m worse now. She’s trying so hard to let me be but u stilll feel...

I’ll try to keep it short but clear with bullet points: Moved from hometown to a new state 4 years ago. Moved for weather & that I had 2 family members that lived there/here. It’s been hard. Have had 2 T’s. 1st one lasted a year, 2nd has been 3 years... not really over yet but may be. 1...

So my T is extremely goal oriented, not into just chatting about the past, me dwelling on my crappy mood etc. It’s been 3 years and I’m still trying to get used to her method although I like it and understand how it will probably help me more. Lately I’ve been very low on cash and so I’ve been...

Thank u for ur empathy :) I needed that.

Thank you. I needed that brutal honesty. I still feel betrayed but understand that it’s not logical. I will think about keeping my session this week. If there’s anyone that can help me sort out my feelings, ironically it would be my T :)

I’ve been seeing current T for just 3 years now. She’s my first T (of many) who is NOT into “talk therapy”. She’s action oriented. It was a long learning curve. It took a long time for me to understand that she wasn’t being insensitive when she didn’t go along with my stories/life telling. She...

Had my first proper doc appointment in over 2 years and I’m def not in tip-top shape. I had a feeling bc I don’t eat and then I don’t eat properly, just what’s easiest. So now I have to deal (or ignore) with scary high cholesterol, questionable heart problems, etc. Next. I moved to another...

... That’s part of what drives me crazy is that I, nor my mom, can remember! I know I could just ask my doctor now... but I wont

He prescribed it for the tachycardia but agreed with me that there’s a good chance it can be from anxiety I agree with you on certain things. My T said said the same thing as you re not taking xanax on day of bc it can mask something. But to explain my “12 hour dosage” phobia: my mom had open...
