Hell yeah. Nobody believes a word of the 'mad' ones. It must be illness speaking if it doesn't fit with them. Grrr!

I second everything said here. I think anybody who fights for their country should be treated with more respect. These people are coming away without limbs, without freedom from their mind...it's criminal that they are treated like this. Kick in the teeth. I'm not a vet either.... but I guess...

"Well you might be better by then" (in 2 weeks) "I have a daughter, and when you've got kids you just get on with it. Because you have to." "Just do it." "Your letter from your psychiatrist (stating chronic PTSD) will probably not apply by then" (in 2-3 months time, re: getting extenuating...

Yep, me too!

Hi everyone, Most of you know I'm a student at university, and that I live in a flat with two housemates. After finding it extremely difficult managing living with other students, particularly a few - for a number of reasons, but PTSD was in there too... this year I moved in with...

made a comment.. but then read further through threads and decided to delete as I made an irrelevant comment.

I like this! Lately, I have been repeating "I don't stay beneath anyone for long!"... makes me feel stronger.... Also "Watch me" (defiance against people telling I can't or won't) Also keep reminding me that it is MY LIFE... people so often forget they have more control over their lives...

Doesn't sound this is the therapist for you.... ! She should discuss flooding or exposure therapy before she implements it... it's unethical and abusive on that alone that she did that without speaking to you about it first. You have a right to be asked what treatment you agree to, and a right...

I'm thinking the same... whilst not well enough to set one up myself, when I am well (and eventually finished uni), if nothing is set up... I will make it my business to begin one...

Only just saw this thread...and recently come back myself to pop by a few times!! It's so nice to be hearing from old faces...! And to see so many new! I'm really glad you're doing well! Thanks for coming by! You're not forgotton port... !

Personally, I wish there were more people in the world like you aeb7311... clearly there are people in the world who actually can see and empathise with somebody else's circumstances. I guess the problem with parents and family is if they are the above generation... they're still stuck in...

I understand it. I also udnerstand what it's like to find somebody not understand that PTSD is a serious, debilitating disorder. I'm having similar problems in getting a lecturer university to basically understand this at the moment in order to be helped to work out a plan. It sucks! Who...

UPSTREAM!!!!! HI!!!!!! Death boots, ha... yeah sorry I never emailed :( Things have been very stormy for me since you left. But beginning to pick myself up...I think... it wasn't always rocky the last few months, but it's recently come back. Before that, I learned to ride my bike, and work as...

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you ! Yeah, absolutely... you are more positive, facing things head on, more hopeful...You seem to have accepted some things that are very important to your healing, which you seem to feeling the benefit of whereas you once didn't know how to do or...

Compromise? I have some more thoughts. So the infraction system is intended to have a smooth running forum that we can all operate in without chaos and destruction. Do we all agree this is important? I do. The problem for the most part that is presented here, as far as I see, is do we agree...

This is totally me!

Absolutely! I call it fragmented thinking... I think in different 'streams'. And it's as if I forget the rest when I'm on that stream. It contributes to my memory problems in a large way, I am sure. I regularly don't remember conversations I've had, unless someone recounts it to me and...

Diagnosed with reactive depression when I was 17. Diagnosed with PTSD and Major Depression 2 weeks ago, at the age of 23.

I was just about to post a poll up asking this question, and thought I'd better search and see if it's been asked before. And I found this! Created by me! I've asked this question before!! Odd moment... LOL! Um... So, it's clear to me that so many struggle to identify emotions. I find...

tardis! As a fellow student (although I am still an undergrad...PTSD took hold most in my 2nd year, am now in my final year, second time round)... Congratulations!!! I relate to what you say, and about belonging too... good for you!!

Grama-herc... I remember when you and your daughter first made contact again, and everything surrounding that last November. It is so LOVELY to have come back here recently, to see that this issue is now being worked out between you two. My hat goes off to you... you show much strength in...

Thanks for the replies guys! I'll come back to this and think it over... it's an interesting aspect of PTSD, I think. Touches on cognitive thinking mechanisms... PTSD symptoms include avoiding thinking about trauma, and this can become quite complex I think, in the respect of blocking off. I...

I have no problem with the infraction system if it makes the forum easier to navigate etc. In absolute honesty ...I did find it hard to take initially. I automatically responded with 'oh my god I'm so sorry, what have I done that is so wrong!!'. But that was only until I looked up a thread...

I'm just wondering if anybody else finds that they can't 'think across' their trauma? A 'this then that happened' knowledge that amounts to being able to automatically 'know' in shortlisted version? Only being able to think in singular fragments of the trauma? I'm just curious to see if anybody...
