I concur with everyone, pick one that makes you feel comfortable. Like shoes, if it's not a good fit grab another one. Look at their approach to. CBT if very common, not my favorite but it depends what kind of work you want to do. Most people don't understand that. What do you wan to work on.

Well clearly the addiction is there. Trying to get off of it and go without medication. Not working at the moment so i could afford to lose some sleep. Trying to stay connect with my feelings as I have been avoiding them. Nasty feelings to connect with but as they say, only by going through the...

Is it normal to feel that you have lost a part of who you are? After a traumatic event no one can ever be the same. I keep asking myself am I a wiser person because of what I went through or did it kill a part of my soul. Now that I have been through ptsd I understand it better and I see it...

Thanks for the suggestion I will do that.

Im using zopiclone right now. Been using it for 2 years, supposed to be for 4 weeks only. While in the city I was taking 2 dose. Now I've cut it back to one, trying to get off of it bu tnot sure if its a good idea. My sleep isn't all that great on it either so thats why I was thinking of getting...

When I told my doctor I have been in bed for 2 weeks she asked if I was sleeping. I said, if im not sleeping at night I'm certainly not sleeping at day time, im just staring at the ceiling and laying in bed is more comfortable then the couch. Is it normal to feel that you have lost a part of...

So how things worked out with your husband? I'm in your husband's shoes right now. Broke up an 18yrs relationship after coming back from a 3 months training that completely drained me. My girl friend didn't see it coming either. We are still living together at the moment due to financial...

Thanks, glad I found this forum. Sometimes when I talk to my doctor I get a feeling she doesn't believe me, but she is trained in sport medicine so I don't expect her to understand either but it makes me wonder sometimes if I'm making things up, maybe it's not as bad as I perceive it and I...

@Survivor3 Well that is the good question. 15yrs in mental health, working in isolated community, always understaffed, picking up slack, position getting cut and having to absorb work that you are not qualified for nor paid for, listening to all the rape stories, horrible vehicle accident, child...

I wouldn't say it cancels all noise. I was standing in my bathroom and couldn't hear the ceiling fan going but I could still hear the fire truck sirene faintly. You can adjust the ambient sound with the app. I would think the nuraphone would cancel out more noise as it looks like an ear plug...

I find the book an easy read and english is my second language. I told my ex to read the book as well so she can understand what I am going through. She said it helped her get a better picture and she is a bit more understanding.

Indeed some school of thought would say that depression is anger turned inward. Anger happens when there is something we want that we are not getting. So ask yourself, what is it that I want/need right here right now. Figure that out and then ask yourself, how do I get it? You can also look at...

You might be an empath. Just finished reading Judith Orloff's book An empaths survival guide. She explains empaths have that extra sensory sensitivity, being an empaths is like empathy of steroid. You actually feel what other people feel. Like a super power. It can be a curse or a gift depending...

100% agree with you on everything. I am learning to voice my needs, it felt awkward at first but the more I do it the better it feels. Ask and you shall receive hasn't felt more true then now. I make use of that alone time and loneliness to stop and look inside and check in with myself and...

To remediate the noise situation i bought the Sony active noise canceling headphones. Worth every penny. Sometimes I just turn them on without music just to shut off the noise. the nura phone seem like a great option to as they seem to seal the noise even more but I had already purchased the...

My therapist said the buzzing im experiencing is my anger. I sure do have lots of that, but the adrenal system is surely very active to and the feeling seems more akin to that then my anger. That hypervigilance gets very annoying as well. I can't say I have a sense of impending doom and some...

I am curious, what symptoms do you experience. For me it's that constant buzzing feeling in my body and sleepless night which eventually affect your mood, patience and energy level. I had to go get tested for covid-19 and that sky rocketed my stress. I consider myself fit and doing 50 push ups...

for me unfortunately workers compensation has prevented me to go back. They basically took my job away. Probably a good things because I still have some triggers and some stories would just get to me but now what? The reorientation process aint easy especially when you are not feeling at your...

I never claimed to have fully understood ptsd during my practice and would always refer people to more specialized services to get treatment on ptsd. Now sadly I grasp the whole experience but I can't do my job anymore. Will have to find other ways to help people but it bites cause I quite...

I was a mental health worker for 15yrs and got diagnosed with ptsd from my work couple years ago. I was told it's rare but it happens. I live in a small town far north and help is to say the least inadequate. Privacy is a huge issues. Feeling isolated, 18yrs relationship broke down few weeks...

My take on it is usually we do not react to what is in front of us but to a memory it triggers in us. So is it worth it then to react to the person in front of us? if the person really intended to insult you then the best response is a no response because then their words will continue to echo...
