Welcome!

That quote resonates so much with me, I did the same exact thing. My mom only abused me once, and I've forgiven her for that. I have a really hard time containing my anger with her for not stopping the abuse. She did what she could, but it wasn't enough. It wasn't her fault, but my brain and...

I talked to my T about it and she could only find ones for vets as well. I had one psychiatrist tell me to join a schizophrenic group (I have psychotic episodes) I really didn't think that would be a good fit for me. I don't know, I think I'm just getting really irritated with myself on top of...

Hi all, I've been feeling really alone lately. I' fortunate that I have quite a few "friends" but I can' actually talk to them about what' going on. I either haven't known them long enough, don't trust them, or they just don' get it. It's really frustrating feeling like I have nobody to talk to...

I don't think so, like you mentioned it's public info. I also think we have at least some responsibility to research our therapists. Whenever I've started with a new T my first few sessions are more like an interview. I ask all about their education, experience, and any specialty trainings.

I thought c-ptsd was no longer a diagnosis. There's always been confusion and I may be wrong but I thought the most current dsm didn't include c-ptsd as a diagnosis.

f*cking auto correct. I can't even properly f*cking vent.

I' so f*cking tired of putting on a goddamn happy face for all these dumb add pieces of shit around me. This f*cking pain is kicking my ass and I'm surrounded my c*nts that need to pull the silver spoon out of there mouth and shove it up there add. That is all

I feel like us sufferers sometimes take advantage of our support. I've done it in the past myself, it's a lot easier to say you need to learn to deal with my anger issues I can't help how I am. With all the rules we have, don't be afraid to share yours. If your willing to deal with his anger...

I feel like we read completely different posts. The original poster didn't say they tell the people what the cause is at all, they are simply asking whether they should mention that some people find that question offensive. Everyone is different I have ptsd and don't care who knows and if they...

When people hear that I have ptsd that question often comes up. My responses range from "I'd rather not talk about it" to "believe me you don't want to hear the details" I find I have way too many rules for dealing with me and it wouldn't be reasonable to educate others about all of them. A...

I don't know how I'd get through life without these conversations.

Is there a particular aspect your curious about?

When you sit through a safety course and think why didn't they mention watching shadows, corners, back of the car, the neighbor, the guy three cars back that had been following you for ten minutes, and the list goes on

As a child I begged god to intervene and stop the abuse. As time went on the abuse got worse. It' a bit obnoxious that you have come in to claim that god is a cure all (with your 3 posts). It' almost as if you have no basic understanding of what PTSD is, and what kind of traumas people have gone...

Animal I Have Become- Three Days Grace

I did it once years ago and it really felt good to let it out. I didn't get into all of the details. I kept it detailed enough and vague enough to ensure it was appropriate for everyone. It really was an awesome experience kids that normally ran rampant paid attention and the adults that...

I'm not sure if this helps. For me it was accepting what happened and instead of ignoring it, dealing with it. It's one thing to logically know something happened than to emotionally know it happened. It takes a lot of time and effort for me, but I just keep thinking about it and attempting to...

There's an organization that is called prevent child abuse. I believe they have chapters in every state. In my state they are pretty much on the forefront educating teachers, cops, parents, etc. It might be worth checking out for your state.

When the new guy keeps making comments about how paranoid you seem. When you just want to get out of the house, take 2 steps outside and think there are too many angles to watch and your mind isn't up for it.

It's still in process, but I contacted the local prevent child abuse organization and they are now creating an ambassador program because of our conversatuons. It will hopefully spread more awareness and funding for the programs they have.

That makes a lot of sense. Instead of trying to force myself into fitting into one, treat it more like a buffet and have it my way. I tend to only find peace when out in nature and I've somewhat lost that in trying to find the perfect fit. Thanks.
