ok, i'm going to the beach again, heading out, back later

Yeah I go to the beach almost nightly, i'm a little down on it ironically, it's like every night I have to go there. But that's a lame complaint, it's wonderful. haha Smells are not a trigger for me that I've noticed, maybe I'll go browse some herbs. lol Thank you @Stickler

Hey everyone, I'm having a bad moment right now, maybe you can offer some advice. It's been really hot in the house the last couple of days, the AC doesn't work well, heat is one of my triggers. Because the house is hot I have to open it up and that lets in a lot of noise, and noise is another...

This thread is too long to catch up on so I'll just jump in. The only thing I can really say I am looking forward to is starting my organic aquaponic garden. It's just around the corner but I'm stuck right now helping my daughter get adjusted to this new area, we are waiting for her to hear...

Mine is just because I love nature and science and have a big appreciation for Charles Darwin. I've been nicknamed Charles in the past. Plus I was feeling down and lazy when I signed up so I just chose the simplest form of it. The avatar is of a character called Ichigo (anime fans probably...

For some reason I feel better just reading this!

I'm sorry you are hurting @numb87 , I know the feeling all too well.

Lol yep exactly

Thank you @Whispering_Truth

Also through recent experience, I think a person with low self esteem is dangerous in a relationship. I don't want to have to worry that I'm going to get stabbed in the back just because someone shows a little attention to my partner.

I hope you don't think, or he isn't using, PTSD as an excuse for this behavior. I've had it bad and I've never been anything but loyal to my now ex girlfriend who wasn't loyal to me. I'm not one to hand out straight up advice often, but I agree with the other comments here. It's way easier to...

I tend to see a healthy diet as an absolute necessity because of the link between PTSD and my body, thank you those who've mention the mind/body connection. When the symptoms of PTSD first began to bare down on me, I thought it was my diet causing it because I was doing hack diets...

Thank you @intothelight I am already glad I signed up. It's helping. @Whispering_Truth I feel you on all of that

Scout86, so true, I've actually been thinking about that, I do believe I've come a long way as a person through this. Thank you for the reminder. :) Friday that's a very interesting look at it, it's funny how we are willing to date those who aren't friends but not those who are, lol, if...

That is really interesting illusionist, I was already with my ex when things came crashing down. This trip into the unknown should be interesting. But it's also a very sad time for me right now. I know i don't want to be alone. But maybe it's for the best.

CrowFeather, that's very encouraging. I was actually thinking along these lines last night. Spent some time at the book store browsing. Looking for something that fits (unlike 99% of self help books), ways to work on myself. I wish there were shortcuts to finding the best ways to do it...

I believe you that there are women who will overlook it once they know the guy and are invested in him. But how do you get to that point? You have to go through the ritual first and pass the litmus test. How will any woman get to know me if I'm saying hey come hang out on my couch with me. I...

Hi scout, thank you for the response. I guess when I say "everyone" it's because I have lost faith in human beings to be anything more than basic. In my experience, women don't want to date somebody who isn't somebody, who can't take them to concerts and out dining at least. And with no income...

I know exactly what you mean, that breaking point! Ugh

It's so impossible for anybody to understand, even doctors I guess. Days like this are just a part of it. I personally can not do the meds. They make everything worse for me and just compound the issue, they make me gain weight and really mess with my head. Zoloft was a nightmare for me, and...

*sigh* I am trying to find answers here too, and I'm not sure if there are any how do you date when you are damaged goods as far as everyone else is concerned? On top of that, all of my friends have disapeared and family is unsupported even saying I have a made up illness, so I have no social...

Thank you Stickler, Fadeaway, SheilaKathy, and Jigsaw. Jigsaw, so far it has been a roller coaster for me too, guess I'll hold on for the upswings (i'm actually kind of in one now thankfully)

Thank you Friday! Best wishes getting back to that upswing state of being.

thank you all for the replies, im looking forward to having somebody to bounce my thoughts off of and vice versa what about relationships, there is no hope is there? i mean, how can a person with ptsd meet anybody, especially when broke and jobless? i used to be just fine beimg alone, prefered...

i would also like to find out if full recovery is possible, or is this a life sentence?
