Ptsd feels like exactly how you described it. I am drowning and my lungs are filling full of water, but my ghost is watching from the beach praying that I (the one drowning) have the good sense to just quit fighting before I waste my last moments trying to beat the inevitable.

That was the best description of what we go through with ptsd that I have ever heard. You are a talented writer.

Ditto

I didn't read closely enough. One of those days. You didn't explicitly say you were abused. But you seem to be hinting that you think you may have been and at the least tou under went some very abnormal experiences as a child. But as far as the forgiveness portion and why, my points remain the...

Lmao your all good I know the feeling! But all the same that is an SSRI I know they are slightly different but all take basically the same path once in the brain...although im no med grad lol

I believe it means that you need to address the fact that what happened was out of your control. I dont believe I was ever sexually abused although it is likely that I could've been and just blocked it out. But I have heard the same advice many times in relation to my own struggles. It means it...

Dont apologize one more time! ;) well hey even though it wasn't the ideal way im glad to meet you man! I hope to give some more helpful and appropriate responses to some new posts by ya! And really I just misread the situation and talked out of my butt without thinking first, which is ignorant...

I appreciate it, but I was in the wrong. I made you feel uncomfortable when thats the last thing you need right now. I think judging by the amount of responses you got to this post, that you fit quite nicely here. This is the place for you man. For people with ptsd like us. We all have...

If it makes you feel better, I used to think I was gay for about a year. That is very hard for me to say. But there you have it. I thought I was gay because I had a period of fantasizing about men. I'm not gay, it was just a wierd phase. ( and if you are dealing with this I'm not anti-gay)...

Seriously man I'm in a bad head space and I crossed the line. Don't leave the forum. I just hate pedos as my siblings have all been molested. But you said you are not one and I believe you! I am really sorry brother. Stay on the forum! I was in the wrong my man. Im sorry :(

Dude im sorry dont delete your account!

I took xanax. It turned me into a monster. A worse drug I have never touched and I have regrettably touched almost all of them. Maybe it will help you. But my advice is to find something else and quick, because the damage is done before you even know it. One month on it and I was physically...

One pill is always the start to being a junkie. Take my word. I used to eat 30 1mg xanax a day. There are entire months I don't remember an hour of.

It may or may not help with your anxiety. If you are opiates naive meaning you never or hardly ever use opiates, it may actually worsen your anxiety until the come down at which point, with codeine, will usually make you very sleepy. It may relax some of your msucles if you are experiencing...

If that is not it, I apologize but it seems to me that that is what you are referring to. Although I would call that more of a disgusting perversion than a fetish.

Thank you hopefully I dont experience this but I appreciate knowing some things to watch for! And i agree I hate to have to rely on medication...I just know that at this point it may well be the thing that saves my life.

Like, for real man, WOW.

Please tell me you are not seeking advice on how to overcome pedophilia. Please tell me that is not what you are talking about. Pretty sure they have pther forums for people like that. Many on here have had years of pain caused by people with that particular fetish. I hope you would not taunt...

Finally got to see my Dr. Today after a battle with my insurance company. She compounded the PTSD diagnosis and said antidepressants and a preventative care medicine will be vital for me in the stage that I am at. She prescribed Paxil and hydroxyzine (vistaril)... I am very paranoid of...

Good advice, as always, thank you @Muse

Any replies I receive are helpful...and I realize that you don't have to give a darn about my problems, so your interest and desire to help says a lot. :) I think you are right, I just need to follow my gut. And hang in there, it's been a few days since I've been on the forum, I hope you're out...

Amen. I live in a medical state with PTSD as a qaulifying condition. I always feel deeply for those that can't legally or safely access medicine that they need. It is to me a outrage. Getting stoned for the purpose of laughing with friends at stupid televison shows or to go out on a night of...

I must respectively disagree with your opinion but that's only because my experience has been different. I have used mmj for past 10 years...past 4 years legally, with no long term consequences or serious bad side effects. Really, only side effects I have experienced is anxiety when taken too...

Also I have a question...today my doc perscribed me to Paxil and Vistaril for my PTSD symptoms. Unfortunately I do not think that Medical Cannibis will be able to treat my condition on its own, at least not until I can function more properly and get back to living life a little more...anywho...

I really appreciate everyone coming out of the woodwork and answering!! I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one using cannibis medicinally for PTSD. I agree and relate to everything you guys said. My biggest help from mmj is the changing it does to your perceptions. Sometimes with my ptsd the...
