Thank you guys! I definitely needed the encouragement. Coming to this site and chatting with people that are kinda in the same boat as me gives me hope and inspires me to keep moving forward. I think a group will help as well. I'm not sure I'll be going to this specific group because T wants to...

Hey i tried searching the forums about this but couldn't find anything related to this subject. A few months ago my T sugguested I attended a group session, she thinks it will benefit me if i hear and speak to other survivors. I am healing from CSA and its been VERY difficult to open up and...

I have been seeing my T for almost 6months now. We just began working on the guilt and shame i feel towards what happened to me. I haven't really started discussing the trama with her, she just knows parts of it. I never really realized how much guilt and shame i had and how much that was...

What a great idea! I am glad it helped you! I will definitely try it.

That's great! Will try it! Thanks

Hey :) I LOVE your sugguestion with a new keyboard! I am definitely going to try that. It's a really good idea, hopefully it will help. I already cut back my hours as much as I could, I really just go to work for the complicated stuff and as observation. If i leave i won't be able to till...

Thank you so much for your reply! It's so helpful hearing someone else's experience. I am so happy to hear that it was worth it. I have never made money an issue in my life and its never stopped me from doing anything, I've always believed that money comes and goes and it shouldn't stop in the...

Hey guys.. need your help again. My brain hasn't been functioning properly lately so bare with me if something doesnt make sense. I have been able to figure out what most of my triggers are and I have been able to teach myself how to manage and avoid my triggers. But my PTSD symptoms are...

Physical abuse is traumatizing. But someone once told me that "everyone goes through trama but not everyone is traumatized". But trama does effect a person, they may not realize it but it does. Since I began treatment i noticed so many things about myself that were formed because of the trama i...

Does she go to therapy? The only way I was able to distinguish between my PTSD symptoms and i own personality was through therapy. I refused to listen to anyone sugguestion that i was over reacting or i was reacting as much as I should be. When someone commented on the way i behaved i would...

My opinion is a little different. It can be a PTSD issue depending on her type of trama. Her trust in people can be broken, I have PTSD and i find it VERY difficult trusting people, I have been married for 13 years and still get jealous or have trust issues with my husband. I am not very vocal...

I can't cry either .. it sucks! It's something i want to talk to my T about and see what holds me back. I have belt with a lot of trama in my life and i never cried .. I would shed a tear but quickly stop myself and suck it up. The only thing that gets me chocked up is the thought of something...

I understand the feeling. I was so angry when i started remembering. How can a human being be so cruel and evil! It still boils me up! A bunch of garbage or humanity can hurt so many people and i feel hopeless because i have been damaged so much that i feel everyone is evil and they are out to...

I'm in the same boat as you. After my diagnosis I let go of a lot of friends and family members, It was hard for me since i barely had any friends in the first place b2ut i knew that keeping them in my life while trying to heal would effect me negatively. I'm also self employed so i am very...

Aww thanks you guys! Now I'm excited to give it to her!

What are your thoughts about giving a gift to your T. I brought her a simple mug based on a joke we keep having. Would it be weird if i give it to her? If it were anyone else i wouldn't hesitate one bit but i don't want to make her uncomfortable. What's your thoughts? Have you ever given your T...

Ya you are right, yes my T has helped me in so many ways and has taught me so many things about myself. I regret not going to her years ago, it would have defentily been helpful. After 4 sessions she told me i had PTSD and it was a complete shock to me. i just went in zombie mode, a mix of...

Thank you for share that thred, it did help and i do relate to many of there comments. I did not have any kind of meltdown, i am not suicidal and i control my temper and anger VERY well (something my T wasnt me to release). about 2 years ago i began losing focus alot and i began experiencing...

Love the binder idea. I create a to do list every morning but end up overlooking a few items or some tasks take me much longer then normal. Everyone here are very understanding, I've been working here for 6 years and they all know this is not the real me, so they have been picking up my slack a...

Good thread. I love the list idea, i was recently diagnosed with ptsd and have been wondering if i am able to continue working. I quite my part time job as a financial consultant 9 months ago since i was no longer able to stay focused, I didnt know i had ptsd then but i was no longer able to do...

hey, have you been able to figure out what this is? I have going through something very similar, I loss track of time and phase out, I forget full conversations and important information.

Thank you for your thoughts. You made a good point, I posted this thread when I was at a very bad place, the love was surrounding me but I couldn't feel it. I was scared, worried, and thought I was all alone in this dark scary world. Unfortunately I have been having a lot of those days lately...

I am a business owner and a customer left me a bad review once. I had over 75 five star reviews and 1 very bad review. At first I was really upset about it because the customer never bothered to call and address his concerns, It was never brought to my attention that there was a problem. I tried...

So i was diagnosed with delayed onset PTSD. But do i really have it? My day goes by like normal, yes i am exhausted, yes i forget a lot, yes my focus is not the same, and yes i cant sleep. But i am a full time business owner with 4 kids, I am just tired. My flashbacks aren't as frequent as...

I am sorry your going through this ... I have not begun to open up to people and i dont think it will be anytime soon, i just began treatment a few months ago, but how long ago did you send the email? Maybe he did not see it yet or maybe he did but was shocked and didnt know what to write back...
