    Terrified At The Thought Of Ending Therapy

    @Alibongo, i totally understand your fears. Is there anyway that you can get therapy extended? I know your really not sure about medication and its a personal decision but it can be very helpful. The roller-coaster is very tough, but it does get better. Self care is extremely important, be kind...

    Other Triggered By Trump

    So many times i have belittled myself for having total fear of Trump. I never watched his TV shows, he gave me that feeling he was a total abuser. Now with him running for president, my anxiety has increased. I cant watch any news without going into panic. He is what my guy says he is a...

    This Too

    My ex was the victim, i was just a selfish woman. Friends flocked to help him, my mother even helped him. I was the problem. I had no voice, i had nothing left of me, suicide wasnt an option having to little boys. But i was made into the villian and he oh poor man. I was being abused, it took a...

    This Too

    @lostforgottensoul not relevant to this post but something you said in your post. People thinking they got PTSD from being cheated on or unconventional sex. Why not? That maybe the only thing they can understand, but they may just be scratching the surface. Just a thought.

    Tried Reaching Out.

    Taunting Pushes Me Over The Edge

    @EveHarrington, so glad you escaped. I lost my anger/rage so long ago. I would just take it as he stripped me of everything. Glad you have your fight but don't allow him to put you there. Use your fight to get well and that is really the last thing they want. Be well!

    Is Anyone Choosing To Deal With Ptsd Without Meds?

    @Dana1010 ..I have never had them but my wife has. They seem to be a reaction to sometimes coming off meds. She explains them as sudden feeling over electricity going through your head. Very common in people who have migraines and epilepsy. Sometimes painful. Hope that helps.

    Too Attached? To Therapist

    For me it's so amazing that I am attached to my T. Trust is something that I struggle with. Sometimes I get really concerned, I am too much, I am too close. I love him but not in an inappropriate way. I am trying to extend what he has given me to the outside. But I am always so scared, I have...

    I Just Want To Go To Heaven

    @Tigergirl1217 yes it's not strange to feel this way. But my question is why do you feel this way? Depression has away of telling us that no one cares. That's the lie of depression, so many people care. I care. Keep talking, keep reaching out, talk to a therapist. You matter..
