YET!!!!

So far this week had a blasted mouse under the floorboard that can either do one or pay rent. To make sure i didn't have a sleepless night worrying about it and battling an ocd cleaning panic took a new med. Had severe reaction to it and psyc now told me to stop all meds immediately. F@*kwit of...

It is great that you can assert yourself. However if the after affects stay with you then that is not so good and i too am very familiar with that. For me a big part of that is not wanting to upset other people. As a people pleaser the thought or hurting someone really gets to me. Also one of...

Yes you are right but you get immature on all sites. it just to me doesn't seem appropriate to be on dating websites if you are in a committed relationship, that seems disrespectful and I am sure most people would take issue to their partner being on one. If i knew how to set up a poll I would...

I would agree with that but it is a dating website he is on right? that puts a different slant on in. there are plently of just social chats available (here for one) he doesnt need to be on one that is about meeting women.

Well if he will only limit contact with other women I would say walk now. I am sure if you were talking to other men that would be a deal breaker. Him having ptsd is not an excuse to behave in that manner and you are not helping yourself or him by turning a blind eye to it. If you are not...

Thanks @She Cat They are capsules so not able to half the dose, I asked this on being prescribed as I have had to do that with other meds. This has been by far the worst reaction I have had and gave me a fright. Glad you are having better luck on it. I am sure that something will work but...

the lowest dose which is 50mg.

Anyone else? It seems that I am hyper sensitive to medications. I have been on low doses now of various SSRIs, fluoxetine, citalopram, diazepam, to name a few. each giving me a new set of side effects. Paroxetine finally did the trick but six months down the line the positive effects wore off...

Brilliant well done.

Oh no that was all you need when you were trying so hard to help yourself. You should be proud of yourself for the initial efforys starting is usually the hardest part. Dont let it put you off practising those dbt skills. A case of needing a distraction from your distraction. Self soothing is a...

@She Cat thank you for those very insightful and sensible words. You are right focusing on that is not really beneficial and probably just my over thinking at play again.

always nice to treat yourself too @Hope1969 haha

Sounds really hard and I have nothing to suggest other than talking to someone trained in this area.

Feel like I don't know what is what with me anymore. I have shown signs of ptsd since I was 4 years only but was only officially diagnosed with Cptsd and OCD 4 years ago when I took steps to get help. So now I have a whole list of symptoms, behaviours, triggers and so on that I am working...

A hard one if you dont know her very well. I have gone for really nice chocolates in the past ones that come in a nice tin that can be kept. What about a nice scarf? Or as you suggest a nice flower in a pot. I am sure that anything will be gratefully received so just go with your instinct.

So sorry to hear that you are having such a rough time of it. I have similar bouts of it with flashbacks etc. just when I think like is going ok and I am handling everything boom they hit again. I find that being in therapy helps but also increases it at times too. So hard when they just creep...

that is odd but then i guess we all have to get used to the invasion of new technologies. I think that it lingering near your window would constitute a privacy invasion over here in the uk, but that would depend on it actually recording and locating who owned it. I cant imagine it would be...

@Ragdoll Circus such a lovely idea and right up my street as have worked very hard on accepting compliments from others and giving myself the odd pat on the back. Self-compassion is my current focus. Rosey despite the lack of a good childhood yourself you have given your children all the...

Gosh that is a tough one to process.

I think you should stay strong and stay away. I know it is hard i have cut myself off from my entire family so understand that pull. If you go back there is a chance his behaviour will get worse and he might take it as a sign of weakness and know he can manipulate you. It is horrible when you...

Think it is a case of reprogramming. It is hard when all you have heard in life is bad things about yourself. But you just have to stop hearing the voices of others that are stuck in your head. As i say to my children you can pick what you believe you can choose to or not to believe what people...

I would think most people would be feeling the same after what you have just been through. Some times all you can do is cry may dont fight it. Cry all you need too.

Well done @Justmehere you should be so proud of yourself. Allow yourself the time to recuperate now.

Firstly @EveHarrington you have plenty of great qualities that i have seen just from your listing on here. Honesty, compassion, articulation, openness, supportive to name a few. Secondary i have struggled with this soooo much myself so know how painful and debilitating it can be. Thirdly on a...
