Well done everyone. @joeylittle you are awesome!

Just donated $25 @joeylittle.

Count me in.

I am completely the same when it comes to forgetting things @Sammyiam. I am thinking that memory loss is ptsd related. I also freak out while shopping but I compulsively scan my surroundings to see who's around me and always checking over my shoulder because I am so paranoid. You are certainly...

Well done Rosie Batty.

I have to agree Anthony.

@FindingMyself88 Hugs to you too. Maybe this is something we can work together on. :hug:

thankyou @risingsun. You have put everything into perspective.

Sometimes I feel like I am too broken mentally and spiritually to be fixed. Don't get me wrong, I love when people have success stories about a therapy that works or they have found themselves overcome a huge obstacle etc. and I haven't given up on therapy, for I feel there maybe a little hope...

Apart from a few close relatives I get stressed when people are in my home too. It causes a lot of anxiety and panic for me, so are definitely not alone. :hug:s to you.

Thank you guys and girls. I found this really hard to discuss but it is a big problem for me. You have all been so supportive about this issue so thanks again.

I have been in therapy for 2 years @richter scale but have never brought up this issue as I have been too ashamed and embarrassed. I think I will talk about it this week though. You guys have been so supportive and encouraging. Thanks heaps people.!!!!

I have had an awesome relationship with my husband for 7 years, however, after suffering through years of sexual, physical, and emotional abuse, I really struggle with the idea and act of sex. I recoil when hugged let alone touched. I feel disgusted and sometimes dirty if I think of having and...

Wow @Ms Spock! Congratulations on this huge achievement. Keep up the awesome work that you do. Well done. :)

Well said @Sighs

PTSD can come from many causes, none more or less traumatic than any other. I don't think it is wise to compare.

I had no idea on where to post this thread so moderators feel free to move. I know that there are many on this forum that when hard times surface, you reach out and ask questions etc. I am not one of those people. I have had a rough trot as of late but instead of reaching out I withdraw. I am a...

Thank you @Sammyiam. This was not a proper attempt rather a reaction to an argument. The reaction alone was what scared me and prompted me to reach out. I ended up having a police escort to my nearest hospital for a psych evaluation and given the all clear.

Thank you @Ed Norton, @Lolly and Tanishq for the support you have shown

I thank you guys for the support. I am not usually like this but my reaction to the argument was extreme and it frightened me. I reached out to support services to make sure I was ok.

i feel really down and really stupid at the same time. This afternoon me and my partner got into a huge argument. my reaction was to make a noose and stick my head in it. I have already called the crisis line for my area but I realise it is not what I really want to do only a reaction to the...

I am sorry I don't have an answer for you @Scott Van Leeuwen but I will say that I am on 200mg of Seroquel per day for anxiety and sleep disorders and I have been on many benzodiazepines over the years. I have never come of a drug so suddenly though. May I ask why the doctors thought it...

Out of all the symptoms of PTSD the worst for me is anxiety/fear and avoidance but I experience dissociation, ideation and anger daily too.

Sadly @TXbandit all of the above but a really great talking point, thank you. Just curious as to how you would answer?
