I'm straight and have no idea what most of those words mean but y'all have PTSD in some form which means you're part of the same crowd Im in so I wanted to say hi :) Wishing us all more good days than bad <3
... oh and music!!! never the tv, with the news and commercials. those are triggers. I only stream tv like hulu and netflix so I can choose what I see :)
Hi. I just found your post and wanted to say I hope as I am writing this that maybe things are a little better for you. I can only offer advise based on things that have happened in my own life since I am not well versed in medical issues. I was never put on medication, when I went through...
I should point out, I did not read the article. I only read the question in the post. It would take me a few days to read and understand the article. sorry <3
for me, "curable"... No I don't know about that. I think it's more of something you learn to live with the effects of. My PTSD is co mingled with some of the usual suspects... depression, anxiety / panic attacks but during the traumatic events I suffered over 8 concussions leaving me with an...
I'm sorry you are on the receiving end of the rage however I am very open with my rage as it's happening if someone is in the room and verbalize my feelings. I went into a different room and hit a chair. I don't think the chair was offended :)
@loui50 @bring em all in THIS IS WHY I LOVE YOU GUYS and THIS BOARD! Seriously!! I hate that we go thru it but I love when I find out I am not alone. I am not crazy. I am just dealing with things that have happened thru the course of life that have left me in this brain space. I read you talking...
The rage feelings started about 6 months ago. I don't know if it's the PTSD, anxiety, depression, ABI or what it is from...
It's like the smallest thing... can't find my keys. 0-60. I want to punch something then I want to S/I (kill myself) even though I don't.
I feel my chest tightening...
@LiketheMouse I just read your post after a bout of crying. I just had a friend kind of blow me off (in messenging) because my message didnd't make sense. The aphasia is getting worse I think, idk. I just want to tell you I found this graphic idk if it will work but let me try to put it in after...
I hope you are finding relief with the EMDR. I did that in 2004, hands at first (didn't work) then I went to someone who used a light bar, that worked better for me. EMDR helped me to reprocess a certain memory / situation that was crippling me. She never suggested it for anything else. There is...
I've been thinking about "time" lately too. I really think that thinking about time causes things to be worse, at least for me. I keep thinking about being in my late 40s, nearing 50 in 3 years. I think about will I ever be ... and then I kind of have to keep reminding myself. We are alive...
I don't know what S/H is or S/I and Google was not very helpful :) I don't want to be broken, I know I can't change what happened. I want to be less broken. I want to make some weird peace with it. I don't want to feel alone in a room. I also don't know if I can ever be who I was and having just...
I'm sorry that you went through that. It's hard when people don't understand but then I've said to people that I'm glad they don't at times because if they did / could, that would probably mean they went thru similar things and that breaks my heart. I wasn't sure what hypervigilence was, I had...
@JadesJewel in tears reading your reply. I feel like you grew up along side me. I never did cut because of things I have seen a long the way, but overdosing was my 'way out' til I realized that I was seeking help and didn't really want to die. I think I just wanted everything to stop, I wanted...
I never really thought of it that way but it makes sense about me pushing people away. I feel like they see how I act or that they can see that I'm broken so I feel like I need to tell them everything but then no one really wants to be around after that. I don't know if there are support groups...
those letters!?! I read what they said about me and it made me re-think who I thought I was. I like your advice to me, my advice to you 'burn that letter' ;) <3 HUGS!!!
