I don't know if it's a guideline actually or if it's because their book of crossovers says it can cause serotonin syndrome (saw the GP's one the other day) and as the Psych Dr. advised me - it's more common in the USA but not here as we're not so "Pro-drugs". I've read many people have had...

I know this but part of the way I've been raised and received sex education is that STD's can be avoided, that they are a bad thing to have and in most situations that they are a dirty thing to have and that fault can be had because you can protect yourself from them. There is a stigma for STDs...

I had been taking 30mg Mirtazapine since late December with some pretty poor results. About two-three weeks ago, I was put on 60mg Duloxetine, but still had the Mirtazapine at full dose - wow! It was like the Duloxetine fixed the Mirtazapine and they made a party in my head. I was amazing. I was...

My therapist wants me to get checked out for autoimmune disorders to make sure there is no physical cause for many of my depressive, anxiety and dissociative symptoms (diabetes, thyroid problems and anaemia have already been ruled out). Now I've done reading and I know that there are many...

Undiagnosed. dx=Diagnosis and I presume the U is for un, hence udx'd is undiagnosed :)

I misread that as complaints :eek::rolleyes:

Perhaps you are psychologically overcompensating for the guilt you feel for being not upset by his death?

Similar to amcen's suggestion (although not a crisis contact) BlahTherapy is a place to talk. There is also the chat here, I'm sure if anyone is on they would talk you down through a panic attack.

@Butterflywings I thought PTSD varied from ASD (Acute Stress Disorder) in the fact that it is currently incurable, it even permanently changes the genes of the sufferer. You may heal from the trauma, but you will always be more sensitive to stress and retraumatisation which could worsen symptoms...

Welcome to the forum. :)

My personal order of how I feel love is... 1) None of the below! It's probably just knowing that someone cares by giving me room to be myself (Mum & Sisters). 2) Quality Time is probably my first on this list, even when stress is too much - at the lowest end, someone just watching telly with me...

I have encountered the much the same. :mad:

I haven't got round to it, but do want to, CSI I've never started watching but I probably will sooner or later and SVU I want to watch, but I'm a little worried it might trigger me. For me, I realise that it is safe and I am safe while watching them, so I will get round to it - Criminal Minds...

I'm a stickler for procedural dramas, I like seeing justice served and criminals caught, it makes up for the lack of that in my case. So: Bones, White Collar, NCIS, NCIS LA, and Silent Witness (UK) - Criminal Minds is a new one for me and quite dark. I also love geeky things: Supernatural...

Welcome to the forum :)

In the UK cPTSD is known as Type 2 PTSD (or at least that's what my NHS therapist has told me). The primary difference is that the trauma(s) are prolonged, repeated and/or complex in nature. The main differences for the person with it, is essentially a cluster c personality disorder/changes and...

Yes, but on the plus I also revel in things he hates - He used to yell and scream at us if we ever wanted to eat out, one highlight of this was on one of my birthday's when he yelled at me and my mum on the drive between the beach and pizza hut (we never ate out or had pizza, I was really...

Fluoxetine made me massively obsessive - so much so that I was too busy counting in patterns from dawn till dusk to notice that it was filling every second of every day - luckily my doctor took me off of it and suddenly my life reappeared. Citalopram made me violently sick to the extent I...

Happy Easter *^_^*

I tried 25mg, 50mg and finally 75mg at night, I also tried those with an additional 25mg in the morning. It was clear it had absolutely no effect and I stopped taking it within the week. It didn't make me drowsy in the slightest nor did it affect my depression but never expected to. I did notice...

I took Trazodone and I had very high hopes for it :) . Usually you know if it works pretty much immediately, it will help you sleep within an hour, reducing anxiety the next day and cumulatively alleviating depression over time. Which is awesome, though as with most meds you may have negative...

Yeah, I had some people throw that at me because of self-harm and an attempted suicide after saying for months that I needed extra care and support and people just kept shrugging it off and minimizing what I was going through. In the end I asked one person if self-harm was exclusive to...

They accepted up front that my sleep's bad and my T was glad that I felt vindicated in being able to prove it, though explained that this was transference on myself (something that even now is an issue - part of me is sure she's lying and doesn't believe me). Just this Monday I've been advised...

**Me Too**

You're not a bad person for saying what you said, nor are you badfor being misunderstood. Some people have no regards for others feelings, its a shame that you've been forced to remove yourself from the group and that there was such a great sense that you had done wrong when you hadn't. I hope...
