Unfortunately I've started circling again. Just staying in bed. My Mom had a problem at the grocery store today and it seems she bounced a check. I'm very frustrated right now. I've explained to her the house and insurance is no longer covered by the SS check. I told her I've been explaining...

When your 14 it doesn't matter where or what school your in there are always jerks. A wood sword, bat, club etc. isn't the point. most people wear socks all the time and something substantial in the toe will leave bruises that will remain for awhile. If your good with empty hand or closed hand...

I've had to be physical with many people. Nature of the Job kind of thing. Most people have to overcome the instinct to strike someone. (Unless your a violent SOB) In todays society it's frowned upon. I think some of the discussion maybe translation issues. I understand the pride in standing...

I don't think it is often as it's played in the movies. I doubt the psychic hot-line can give me the lottery numbers. I do believe there are connections between people. I see it like the Borg just not on a conscious level. If you surreal someone for instance if you stare too long it will make...

I think it's important you keep taking care of yourself. I have one concern. Not having emotions is worrisome. Are you sure you just haven't suppressed them. Stuffing feelings down can come back with a vengeance. Been there done that. Something to explore with your therapist.

From what I understand stress especially long term.. burns out or alters a lot of the brain chemicals. I think when many say low serotonin levels they may mean the brains ability to use what serotonin we do produce. You got neurotransmitters, receptors, dopamine, serotonin, and a bunch of...

I agree with TonyG trying another Med might be the way to go. Check with your doctor. It's often a hit or miss thing with the Meds. That said stress can do all kinds of strange things to your body. My stress level got so high it actually twisted my neck into a visible s. My left arm only worked...

Things are a little better today my Ex-wife needed a babysitter on short notice and she brought her 2 1/2 year old foster kid over. He's a real good kid and I always shake things off when I'm around my kids and her fosters. I think many folks can shift their issues to the back burner when they...

Depression is a given. I don't think I've ever heard of PTSD without the depression. I want to be in a better place with my depression. I've done better I know it's possible I've been there. I just feel myself slipping down into that abyss. I remember being told just get up everyday and act as...

Goobernubber no offense but you sound happy to be angry. I'm angry and I've been dealing with it for 10 years. I'm a helluva long way from OK. Anger will destroy you. What is (Something Happened). It sounds like I went to the grocery store and then I was angry for 10 years....? If you are OK...

I've been spiraling down for the last couple of months. I thought I had a plan but it seems to be falling apart. I seem to to be losing my direction and falling further and further into that abyss. Thought I was going to be able to move with my Mom to the country but it feels like I'm going...

I think Airedale is right. You are still fighting some other battle except your employers have become the focus. If it wasn't them it would be someone else. I still have to be careful not to fall into the abused 12 Y/O mindset when I become stressed. The panic, the fear all comes rushing back...

It's made/makes me angry. Angry I got sick. Angry about what the sickness has taken from me. Angry I no longer know where I'm going. Angry I just exist everyday without a purpose.

My niece played a video on her phone of her cheerleader group cheering and screaming, The squealing sounds just like hurt kids I used to deal with coming into the ED. I asked her not too but she played it again for my Mom. I'm not sure if it's flashbacks that it caused or they ignored my simple...

I'm so tired. I go through the motions of trying to be motivated. I was hoping on moving to a place in country but those dreams seem to have been dashed. I was doing real good working on the house keeping busy but things got fouled up real bad. I've been trying to work on the house but my heart...

I'm having trouble sleeping each time I close my eyes my thoughts start racing and the walls feel like they are closing in. The more I try to relax the worse it gets. Anyone else have this issue?

Unfortunately my sister is eleven years older than I and she hasn't seen the control issues yet. My Mom actually does pretty well right now. She still drives and shops (I make her take a cell phone). She just forgets an ingredient in a cake from time to time and I may have to tell her...

She usually says her mind. Oh boy yea and then some. She knows how upset I am and I don't want her to do it for me. My sister got involved because my Mom thought I was moving too fast. We got preapproved for the loan amount and I was real excited about a house very near where she wanted to...

I've doing real well the last few months. Actually feeling normal with some purpose. Getting house ready to sell and working with my hands is good for me. Then my Mom gets cold feet and my sister butts in. Now I feel like I fell off the depression cliff and I'm spiraling downward. Seems damned...

I got into it again with my Mom again after I asked her if she would call my sister so we could go look at the place again with her. She said yes but was pissed so I asked her to wait until she wasn't angry. Forget it and she uses a speakerphone because she hard of hearing so I have to listen to...

For months I've been fixing up the house cause my Mom wanted to move to the country. I found a place. Now it's not exactly what she want and she got my sister involved and she proceeded to tell me what I need and what my Mom needs. The loan percentage is right but getting higher in the future...

It's very upsetting. Anger turns on more adrenaline than I can live with. Feels out of control. Little things make me even angrier and it's out of proportion to the situation. Heart racing...mind racing... all the time and I think my blood pressure is about to make blood shoot out of my eyes...

I was talking (email) to one of the docs (of the whole two universities) that does that type of research. I asked if they had done any studies on LEO's. I can sniff out trouble pretty good. You know that hair on your neck kind of thing but I have seen some officers who were extremely good at it...

EMDR has been successful in some folks. The way I understand it it doesn't substitute triggers it allows your brain to process the original ones in a normal (non panic) fashion. It takes some of the power away from the trigger. I'm sure it's been discussed in the forum somewhere and probably by...

I get regular forgetful too. I just trace my steps back or I go on to something else or I make a list. This is I can't remember what it is because whenever I try tons of other thoughts are racing in making concentrating hard. There is so much noise I can't think.
