I do that too, its called comfort food and I'm shocking. I tend to eat like Homer Simpson LOL.

Great idea Sammy, I too have gain a few kilos over the last few months for the first time in my life. (with the exception of being pregnant)!! My doctor told me Seroquel is the main culprit and a lot of us here are on it so its a significant issue, thanks for raising it.

I think you read my mind @Go Hungry. That is exactly what I do.

yes @shimmerz I froze. You have observed correctly but I still find myself constantly in a thinking mode and I was wondering if any members here experience anything similar. I was told by shrink that hyper thinking is hyper vigilance.

I was triggered long ago @shimmerz and I completely disassociated from the situation and myself. I think everything through and I was told that is an extreme form of hyper vigilance (when you can do nothing but think every action through) from a psychiatrist. I hope I can make it clearer for you...

In 7 years. I have been detached from my feelings for a long time but yesterday during my fortnightly counselling session I felt something other than my usual fearful, sad, numb responses. My counsellor ask me to recall an episode during my abuse. She then ask me how that felt, what it looked...

I am apologizing in advance if this is the improper place to post this thread, however, I am referring to a fear based symptom, so hopefully it fits. As my PTSD symptoms increased in their severity over the years, I came to realize it wasn't just things that were related to my trauma that...

Me too.

@Hashi I do understand your point of view. My reason for this post was not to invalidate the suffering of others. I appreciate you and your opinions as much as everybody else's. It is your truth and it is valid. For me, I have realized over the last couple of weeks that I have met the most...

Wow, thankyou everyone for their awesome responces.

It made perfect sense Jess. Thankyou.

Thanks guys. It has been a long time coming but I am finally starting to realize it's not all bad. I myself am more compassionate and understanding because of it.

I think you have done an awesome job of getting through it @Fadeaway. I know on the anniversary of my assault I thought I was ok but I fell apart. Again well done and :hug:s for you my friend.

I have been thinking a lot today about how PTSD has affected my life. There are the obvious thing's like symptoms etc. that make our lives a challenge. I also thought of how my life would have or could have been different without this disorder good or bad. I then realized that some good has come...

Today it was my toddler trying so hard to be helpful by "cleaning" my computer. He basicly spayed water all over it. ;) He is so sweet and makes me smile every day.

Well done for reaching out @Hope4Now . Sometimes that is one of the toughest things to do. I am on and of the forum today but if you would like to private message me if you feel up to it then I will try and help. I am sure many other members here will do that too. Gentle :hug:s.

Numb. I guess I don't really have much emotion left for her.

Thank you again guys. :hug:s to you all:)

Thanks guys. I really appreciate the support. I think what annoyed me the most was the child she was referring to has autism and has come a really long way with improving her behaviour and this woman had the nerve to tell me and also her off!! My children became frightened by her aggressive...

I had a little bit of a breakthrough today. I have always been a bit of a doormat and a people pleaser and have struggled to stand up for myself. Today I stood my ground and stood up to someone. I was in the supermarket and somebody took offence to my child's behaviour. She actually said to me...

What @Ti Vu, @desiderata310 and @Loveneverfails said. :) Everyone one is here for each other. Feel free to message me if you need too. :hug:s.

I am on this medication in conjunction with Seroquel. When I was on duloxetine alone I did find I would get dizzy spells but other than that I have been ok. So far this combination has worked better for me than duloxetine on its own. We are all different as you said though, what works for some...

Absolutely. I have experienced this sense of unreality many times. I hope it helps you @FindingMyself88 to know that you are not alone is this. Best wishes and :hug:s.

I also get really freaked out when somebody walks behind or holds a knife in a certain way. I have many triggers related to domestic violence.

Unfortunatuley I know exactly how it feels @Wolvescry. After I left my Ex husband I learnt karate. I trained for 4years to gain some confidence. I had the same thing happen to me when my sensei was demonstrating a method on how to get out of a choke hold. I freaked so bad but was so embarrassed...
