Thank you, I'd appreciate that @falling_wave! :) And likewise I'll do the same! It's always nice to relate to other people.

I do have to say that I have experienced that as well and have always wondered what was happening. It feels like a flashback of sorts. Where you feel like it's happening again (sinking chest feeling) , but The thought was my conversation about the trauma with my therapist and usually A nervous...

5k Hill training and an hour of obstacle training. I'm getting really good at balancing. Hoping I can bring that feature into my life! ;)

You are right, and it made me think... How DO I define being hurt? And maybe being lonely is actually hurting me more. I think I choose to be lonely because even when I want to communicate or express myself it's not so much fear of being hurt I suppose, it's more a fear of simply expressing...

I feel myself doing it... I am pushing away. I am disconnecting. I am retreating back into the safeness of my own mind. I'm surprising myself by even writing this on a forum. For what? In hopes that I can stop myself? Even though I feel my head is the only safe place for all of the horrible...

I nursed my cold with a relaxing rest day yesterday and lots of vitamin C. Feeling much better today, so I took my little one out for a 7k bike ride and enjoyed the evening doing an hour bootcamp.

If you need to talk to someone today you can chat me up.

I'm not educated on the laws in the US however your insurance is a type of contract and therefor you should be able to take legal action for them denying your claim and accusing you of a false claim. I may be a little off here but I am looking in to it a bit more. Just trying to help!! I did a...

Thinking of you @Chava. You can do this. Just know we are all rootin' for you.

Awesome job everybody! Everyone's activities sound so worthwhile and inspiring. I wasn't feeling to good before spin tonight, so I opted for just a bootcamp. In hopes to sweat it out. However it only made it worse. This lady has a cold! Chicken noodle soup it is.

We are here to help. :hug:

Oh dear @Chava, I hope you are ok. You are in my thoughts. May your heart grow stronger with love from everyone here on this forum. May your weary body be resting peacfully surrounded by safety and protection. :hug: ~Dragonfly

Congratulations @Autumn76 on the job! That's awesome!! :woot: I am a mom as well and I just got my license. My husband had similar reasons and it seemed like I wasn't going to get driving any time soon. So I signed up for a drivers training program like @Recovery4Me had mentioned. I highly...

After three long days of work and rest, I completed one hour of spin and I practiced my chin ups... :).

Wow life can be so stressful. I know we each have our own stressors, and to each our own ability to handle different amounts of stress. Even after working out, and a nice hot bubble bath (trying to be kind to myself). I am still fighting to maintain normal breathing and to relieve my chest...

Thank you, that actually does make a lot of sense. I will try my best to start doing this. Sometimes the nightmares are just so vivid and degrading that it overwhelms me. I do feel like they are trying to 'speak' to me though.

@Lead85 welcome to the forum. I have suffered through domestic violence as well. Although like Fridayjones said it is not what intitially caused my PTSD. My heart goes out to you! You need as much support as you can get, so I am really happy you have found this forum. You were so busy 'coping'...

You are so right, thanks for the insight. This is something totally new for me. The talking about it. To people. Therapy was definitely the first step. I'm really thankful that you acknowledged that for me @The Albatross. Changing and growing has already begun, even if it is slowly.

I know one negative belief I believe is that because my mom did nothing about the abuse from my father that I will do nothing about the abuse that has happened to me. I will never report, I will never be heard. I will let men treat me horrible all my life. Therefor leading me to the conclusion...

The people on this forum really care here and they sometimes like to have the best picture of your situation so they can provide the best information to help you. Or the best advice. I hope you are ok and was able to use this as an outlet hopefully helping you out of trouble. Best wishes.
