    Hormones Or Ptsd?

    Hi, Casey, You are in a pretty tough spot, but it also sounds as if you are handling it very well. You have done your best to protect yourself and the baby from your x's negativity. With advice from Anthony and others, you can do even more. You have a job, are taking care of yourself and...

    News Researchers Developing New Test To Diagnose Ptsd

    I wish I could take the test. Despite being diagnosed multiple times by multiple clinitians, I somehow repetedly convince myself over and over that I can stop these damn reactions if I just try hard enough, and feel guilty, as if I am just doing it for attention.

    I Have No "home"

    I agree with you on that. I've never been on medicaid, but have found doctors treat you differently solely on how you dress. I always try to dress very professionally for a doc appointment now.

    A Genetic Test To Suggest Which Meds Will Work Best

    At a psych appointment yesterday, I was told about a new genetic test that looks at your DNA to see how your body will process different types of medications. It recommends which types of medications are more likely to work for each individual. The test is done with a simple cheek swab. While...

    I Have No "home"

    SmileHaving run away at 26 and moved from place to place, I, too, know that feeling of feeling homeless. You can find that home, "build" that home. It takes time, hard work. Hard decisions. I don't know your age or circumstances, so I certainly can't advise you, but take the baby steps...

    I Hate That I Have Family Who Loves Me & Would Miss Me

    Hugs to you, Smile. I'm sorry you are in so much pain, and I understand. I've been there. Perhaps I am even headed there now. I'm not sure. I wish I could hand you the easy button, or the magic beans. Heck, I wish I had them myself. But as you already know, there is no easy answer...

    Something Is Rotten In Denmark

    I have seen quite a few anorexic people who think they look awesome...but this is not the reality. And even if you do look awesome now, if the anorexia continues, you will not soon look awesome. Get the food stamps, get the help you need to be healthy.

    News Donald Trump's Popularity To Date

    Even if Trump went on that ambulance call, he wouldn't give a $+#*. Women are nothing but breeding stock to him. How appropriate that Sarah Palin now wants to team with him. Two narsassist jerks with the thinking and speaking skills of two mules.

    12 sessions of EMDR undery belt. I started with hyperventilating, nearly passing out, and started going into shock. My t was insistent that if I couldn't leave the traumatic feelings behind after EMDR, I call her back and come back in asap! I did need to do this once. Is your t giving you...

    News Donald Trump's Popularity To Date

    Well, my father is the reason I am here on the forum. My therapist suggest he is narsassistic, and possibly borderline personality disorder. And...he sounds a lot like Trump. The whole "I'd make them..." mentality, treating women like breeding stock, inflating his own success, and belittling...

    News Teachers And Doctors Can Go To Jail For Up To 2 Years For Reporting Child Sexual Abuse

    I don't think something like this could happen in the US...teachers, doctors, clergy are all required to report suspected abuse, and I think there is a law in place to protect them from being prosecuted. That being said, they are also suppose to be able to report anonymously, and that is B.S...

    I am in the second stage of EMDR, and the t introduced me to a Technique called "spinning". I was first asked to pinpoint where I felt the anxiety in my body....for me, upper torso. I was then asked to imaging this anxiety as a shape....I chose a square. Imaging the shape spinning. Which...
