I was having this thing where i was dissociating like crazy, and i went into a spiral where my head started hurting, and i couldnt do anything at all. i made a thread back on here after a really long time, just because of this episode i was having for a couple of hours. is this what we call a...

i probably could. i have a little note like thing down from my last therapy session, and i used that to reprocess and reorganize everything in my life again. i think it's just a collection of responses with my environment and people in my environment. it triggered me into a old and broken...

I am 20 and have ptsd with dissociative features. it's like my thoughts are all over the place. it's a mess, how do you guys keep 'going from one thing to another' coherently? i can't even keep my memory and thoughts intact to form the next sentence as part of a structural whole. for some...

Hi I am a 20 year old who suffers from PTSD (w/ dissociative and psychotic features), and a strange transient depression, and anxiety and OCD. I am also a university student who studies law and various other subjects as part of it. I've undergone some seriously intensive psychotherapy, and...

How did you get better with this? Just therapy or was it any specific technique or method?

an example, would be just not putting yourself in a position, 'to get out there '. Or maybe, being 'out there', but not letting anyone in, to talk about like, going out on a date or something. so yeah "avoidance" ..

Is it common with PTSD people? It's hard to find any threads about sexuality in the relationships section, just brother-sister mother-son relationships here, so i decided to make my own thread. I have experiences, where i would imagine all sorts of potential relationships i could have with...

I can relate. I mean, the family of people who have undiagnosed NPD. and yeah, NPD much like other personality disorders, are marked by a tendency to 'escape' their diagnosis. that sort of shit happens in prison and apparently that makes things so much harder for professionals. Have you ever...

Thank you so much . I was wondering whether i should take it on myself to go to a hospital and get an EEG/MRI, because this stuff is getting to become unbearable. and the whole process is very slow, with the psych doctors - they did a neuropsych testing for epilepsy and i have to wait until the...

1. What event made you get PTSD? (Please explain it in detail) Sexual abuse as a child and something like a waterboarding incident, somewhere. Also, psychological manipulation/abuse/neglect and physical abuse by two of four family members (one of the two, or both have numerous personality...

Ive personally self sabotaged my own circadian rhythms. i have all sorts of dissociative experiences, some are caused by seizure activity. and what psychdocs are suspecting as epilepsy. on the other hand, i have academic failure to deal with. and all this trauma stuff on top of my head. i...

i'm trying to guess the answer. i know that i am in a way being influenced by abusers, like my father, whom has something like NPD and my family who are in denial of these influences. they had unrealistic expectations growing up, and i have these of myself, and i'm trying to do what i want to...

i'm still a bit confused though. like what if i don't really want to do it, and end up getting depressed throughout the whole year. i just can't predict the future. like yourself, i have seizures as well, psychdoc is expecting TLE epliepsy, and with all this, mental health stuff piling up, i...

you've got a point. and really, that's the dilemma that's leading to all these thoughts. like if i pull the plug something terrible happens, if i do something else and change directions, and i've always had a passion for research, which would be in another field other than law. i will pull the...

I don't expect anyone here to understand . I just need something to go on using. my thoughts are all over the place. and i have ptsd, i know it. and i have dissociation. but i also have some form of TLE (temporal lobe epilepsy) and it really messes with my moods and causes oscillating auras in...

I had the same thing with my dad. he never cared to know me, and almost-never took up any responsibility for his actions. everyone else, including me, had to take up responsibility in his place, and it just didn't work out for anyone's mental health. your mother was supposed to care for you...

I agree it may be that growth comes from all this examination. thank you, this helped a lot.

Yeah that's okay. thanks for explaining. it's clear that it may be something that i've learned from traumatic experiences, where people have tried to teach me the wrong thing or where teachers* have caused distress. so i'm trying to become the abuser, almost. do you ever do these almost...

why only 'ah okay'? o_o"

I agree with you and well my psychiatrist haha and i feel like i can relate to the OP as well . but i feel like it's more than social anxiety. sure social anxiety is a result, but the process i think, is completely different. we tend to recognize threats in our environment and try to avoid...

erm no. well i was speaking about just how i tend to reenact my own traumas i guess. like by teaching. i thought it would have been more connected to that. because it is compulsive. :/ but i guess there is also a natural human tendency

It's hard to really know what your situation is, so what are the signs of cancer he has been receiving? what have doctors been saying? how many tests has he done to eliminate any risks? i had a scare like this recently as well. (no biopsy just CT scans to eliminate cancer worries). Sometimes...

do you think it's manipulation? :unsure: i always have this fear that i am really projecting all these Narcissistic abuser-attitudes. well, psychological manipulation is one of the narc abuser attitudes or cognitions. but on the other hand, maybe it's just a phase of growing up for us ptsd...

I suffered abuse at the hands of a teacher and i'm slowly realizing this alongside psychologists that this has been something of a repressed memory, and it fits in with other memories which were traumatic and may have allowed for it to be repressed and more unclear, as these other family related...

If I worked in a hospital and I knew that my girlfriend was suffering from PTSD, I would not be judgmental at all if you were to admit yourself. a lot of rational people do it. i think it's more of an embarrassing problem when you need psychiatric case upon a court order or something like that...
