Understand AI use at MyPTSD: all AI use is explained in our AI help page. AI use is by choice here. It exists if you want it, but does nothing unless you choose to use it.
Yup. I pretty much did it on a whim since the retreat was only $450 and meet some fellow druggos. I was 100% willing to puke after hearing how beneficial it can be for even physical illnesses. I heard it tasted really bad too, but, to me, it was like bad hipster coffee mixed with swampwater...
First night I didn't feel anything. Still didn't feel the jungle drugs kick in until the second cup. After the second cup I felt extremely cold and the worst I ever had and I was crying for at least half the ceremony. Then I started feeling the best I ever had. I did not puke or shit myself at...
Can you explain how she's promoting/advertising it? There are hundreds of EPONA practitioners all around the country. Mentioning EPONA as opposed to plain old horse therapy is no more promoting it than mentioning CBT instead of talk therapy. :D
I didn't have nightmares or trouble going to bed, but I've haven't had much sleep and I've experienced auditory hallucinations every single night for the past week or so. They last for about an hour each night before bed and I hear entire conversations in foreign languages on top of random mouth...
I love this, @DharmaGirl. I'm all up for a rooster president. His tendency to force himself onto other hens sounds like he's really good at asserting his dominance over inferior people. I know that he's trained now, but his masculine abilities could come in handy with stealing those darn North...
I'm a big fan of marijuana concentrates, but they're not for everyone. Concentrates in edible form are still too strong for me and I'm prone to negative side effects on that stuff. I prefer a 1:1 or even 2:1 CBD blend for my nightmares and max out at two dabs before bed.
You can make a thread (like this one) by clicking here, so that more people can see it and offer advice. :hug: Are you prescribed a benzo or anything like that for emergency situations? I usually don't reccommend it 'cuz of tolerance buildup, but it can be really helpful when the anxiety is just...

Anyone tried this yet? Seems that it's mostly addiction centered but promising for mental illness
My last two sentences (that were not quoted by @lostforgottensoul) mentioned that I think BPDs will probably be ok as long as they choose to get treatment, and that my mom never really bothered with it aside from taking Prozac for around two weeks. If my mom had not had BPD or at least chosen to...
True. I can see why it would've played a role in hers getting worse. Her parents (my grandparents) only sent her to church counseling a couple times when she was a teenager. She did not go on Prozac until she was about 25 and living with my dad. After that, she showed zero interest in getting...
It can happen to anyone. Personally, I'm sixteen years old and have full-blown POF. I imagine the sheer amount of stress from dealing with PTSD contributed to it. :p
My mom had BPD and she was a total psycho. I think you'll be ok as long as you're willing to get treatment tho. It took her a long time to get to that point and she never had treatment (aside from taking Prozac for like two weeks).
I got in trouble for something that I didn't even do and had a full f*cking PTSD meltdown/flashbacky episode for the first time in weeks. The school administrators had five different kids in there to all watch and basically piss on me for something I didn't even do. And I forgot to take my...
I didn't realize that what my mom did was wrong or that my gaslighted memories/flashbacks were real until after she died. She always confused me because she would say that I was a piece of shit and/or say that I was abusing her and/or that I was lying about her actions by begging the police for...
haha it's ok Mal. Mine usually consists of aspartame flavored cancer yogurt and some fresh fruits and veggies thrown in to rationalize my otherwise unhealthy (and daily) indulgences. :p
Thank you! I LOVE Plum and Yotem Ottolenghi's cookbooks, by the way. I've had his stuffed tomatoes before and they were absolutely amazing. I put them on my iPad awhile ago and deleted them to free up space... I gotta put them on there again! :hug: I've never heard of The Silver Spoon, so I'll...
Nothing is really off limits for me, lol. I saw a psychiatric NP for another thing a few weeks ago, and she asked a couple things about my PTSD (including triggers). I told her that I have a couple triggers, but using the word "trigger" makes me sound like a spineless MSNBC watcher and I'd...
