I'm sorry, Em, but I think you are going to have to accept help if you want to get better. Take it in small steps. Have your partner help you so he can get a better understanding as well. But to get through this, you are going to have to accept help.
I'm glad you are here. The people on...
Hi, Courage,
I am sorry you are going through such a rough patch. I can relate. I am wondering if you have seen your doctor about this. If it has been going on for a long time, you may have to deal with the chemical imbalance. I am also wondering if you are getting therapy so you can...
No, I don't think there is anything wrong with sataying in and eating pizza and watching a movie. I think it sounds WONDERFUL!!!! It is okay to feel apathetic about your boy friend's return. You may even find you feel differently once he does return, and that will give you an indication of...
I simply cannot imagine how horrifying this experience must have been for you! Gemm, I am glad you survived this horrible accident. It certainly is understandable that you would have struggles with healing from this. I am glad you found the forum. Lots of great people here, so hopefully...
Am I misunderstanding? To me it reads that your EMPLOYER is starting disciplinary action and is asking for a review- NOT your therapist. Is this right?

geckoecho, I think a lot of people have a mental illness. In my opinion, it is better to know you have it than to live in denial, because then you can work on getting better. Most people just continue in denial.
Yes, having ptsd sucks. But it doesn't suck as much as having ptsd and NOT...
No, they don't lock you up for this. Not unless you are an immediate danger to yourself or others. Please be as honest with the psych as you can in an effort to better help them help you. Likely they will tweek your meds and encourage you to continue counseling.
Welcome to the forum. It is...
Me, too. Even the comment about having the politest kids you could ever imagine. When I am around my family, they say things like "Your kids are so.......NICE."

I read the article, Jason. You saved your son. You are amazing.
I too, was in a horrible accident...hit by a car while biking. A year may seem like a long time, but recovery from such a serious accident is going to take longer. Get counseling if you can, and give yourself the gift of time...
