36. I don't resort to alcohol to "fix" my problems
37. I don't smoke cigarettes
38. I'm good at training dogs

40. I completed a poem to help express my feelings and actually feel a little better
Thank you KP. She is supposed to be a specialist in rape and PSTD which I find a little scary now that I can see how she really feels. My first T didn't want to talk about the rape because it was awkward for him and this T seems to just not give a damn. When she said that to me I fought back so...
Hurt, fearful, and tired
Hurt and fearful because my T is saying that my rape was no big deal and that I am overreacting. And that my view on the world up until then was too innocent and I needed something to snap that view out of my mind. I thought that She was someone I could open up to in...
I am to take it before bedtime and I sleep no different than I used to which isn't great but isn't terrible either. As far as my mood is concerned I don't feel that different. If it actually is doing anything it's not a noticeable difference. I'm gonna give it time before I come to any...
I've been on Celexa for about 5 days as well. It's funny you mention the yawning Sazza. I haven't stopped either. I thought I was just overly tired but maybe it's due to this as well? Hope everyone that's in my situation adjusts and doesn't have to feel like a zombie
I was recently put on Celexa and I've noticed that I have been drained of all of my energy to the point where I can hardly roll out of bed in the mornings. Does anyone else experience this? Is it possible this is happening because my body is still getting used to it?
I'm feeling lonely and scared. I just started with medication for the 1st time in my life and my husband's job had him work later than he was supposed to so he's not home to be with me so I'm kinda nervous taking something I never did before all alone. My depression and anxiety is rapidly...
26. I started yet another book and am already halfway through after having had it for only 2 days
27. I finally feel confident about my new T and feel the sessions will help ease the severity of my symptoms
28. I like to be early or on time to everything
29. Despite all of my built up anger...
I chose, " No, I would never consider it"
I am never one to hold a grudge or not forgive someone if they admit to their wrong doing but in this particular case where the person has forever changed me in a negative way and as a result wound up with PSTD that not only effects me but my loved ones...
When I was seeing my previous T I was working from home and had a schedule of whatever I wanted. That has since ended and I am actively searching for a job but at the same time will now have psychiatrist appointments at least once weekly with my new Dr. How does one juggle their time without...
I am getting really annoyed and discouraged with my hunt for a new T. I have called over 30 places and either no one is taking new patients, they don't accept my inurance or they don't answer at all or return my messages. I am not left with much else. No one within a 100 mile radius of me deals...
I cry silently. I know this probably sounds contradictory but I don't see a person being weak if they cry but at the same time my reason for crying silently is to not let other's know I am emotionally vulnerable. Directly after my trauma I found a corner and faced the wall curled into a ball...
Back when I was with my previous T I would look him in the eyes most of the time. I am a firm believer that you can learn a lot about a person by looking them in the eye and if I was able to give him a chance to see me eye to eye than maybe he could help me better. The only time I would look...
21. I like my ability to find beauty in things others may not find beauty in
22. I am a good driver

25. I have gotten my motivation to finish this book I started years ago
5. I have a strong sense of self preservation despite how often I think ending my life may be a good idea
6. I have been strong enough to make it this far with PTSD
7. I have found successful methods of sidetracking my mind from intrusive thoughts
8. I have accepted that I can never be cured but...
I chose my username because it seems to be the best way to explain how my life is. I've suffered a great amount of pain which has made me quite literally bitter towards people but the few people in my life who I love and trust I am very sweet. Even though I've gone through such a horrible thing...
Thank you for the reassurance. Supposedly he had 30 years experience with it but i guess the truth may have been stretched on that. The search shall continue
