    Social Security Disability Evaluation

    Yeah, I agree with that. Make your own medical history record. It is very scary when a complete stranger will have the power to decide whether you will get disability or not. I think you will have to prepare yourself that it will not be easy either. If the government can it will skimp on...

    Always Making Sacrificing And Getting Hurt In The End

    Sounds like you are in the family of hell. My only advice would be to get out while you can. Aaaaaand, whenever a victim comes forward I never ever get involved in their personal matters. It is way too tricky out there. There are moms who are prostituting their own daughters with no mercy. You...

    Tms Effects On Ptsd

    Wow, that is something I was not aware of. To stimulate the brain with magnets sure sounds strange. But if it could treat anxiety and depression, both of which can afflict PTSD patients, it may be worth investigating. I assume such techniques could be used perhaps for patients that are not...

    Relationship Balancing Needs

    For a PTSD person it is not really isolation. PTSD is a huge fight, a fight that saps mental and physical energy. If a PTSD sufferer does not have freedom in assessing personal needs, does not get enough personal space, or who thinks his or her freedom is stunted by someone then it can get...

    Dealing With Possible Break Up/moving Out

    Yeah, would suggest relationship counseling too. If an ultimatum is set there is a serious problem for you guys. But you will have a place and you have your own work, so those are big pluses for you.

    Dom Violence She Crushed My World, And Now Is Trying To Destroy What Is Left

    It sounds like she may have mental problems. As a new mom I went briefly through some postpartum depression too, but this scenario sounds very different. To me postpartum depression was more of a silent malady in which the mom is slightly depressed but usually overcomes it. But when someone...

    Pre-planning Emergency Visits

    Yeah, I will create a medical ID card. I just hate spending money for things that I can create on my own. And I hate the fact that so many of these bracelets are sold for high dollar. Not a rich person so making my own medical ID card just makes sense.

    Social Interactions Sometimes Make Me Feel Pressured

    Yeah, I can relate. I see so many fake people and would never want to relate to them. When I see someone that shows their vulnerability, not fake acting!, then I can relate to someone like that. There are many that attempt to fake the vulnerability of a real victim. But they come across so...

    I'm Scared Of My Own Brain

    You have to gently guide yourself away from everything now that upsets you, sort of reset your mind. All visuals, all written materials, all of that needs to go into a drawer or other safe place for later. You have to sort of clean your mind, detox your brain. To me it seems all the visuals of...

    News Stockholm Incident

    I am not desensitized about these events at all, everyone of those events shocks me deeply. What cowards such people are I surely understand, because people that stalk me actually use those same techniques ( their cars) to harass me. I hate criminal cowards who need to rely on others to do...

    If You'd To Title Your Life? What Title Would You Choose?

    I was wondering, in your Avatar which country flag are you displaying? I love learning about new countries.

    If You'd To Title Your Life? What Title Would You Choose?

    Geez, that is a really fun question: The sneezing dinosaur: because my views are so called old fashioned and I have a lot of allergies, hihi My life I would name, hm: awareness of truth, fighter for truth, announcer of truth: to never tire to let the truth be heard, I think that sums up my...

    How To Deal, 'minor' Panic Attacks In Public

    You should not have to feel bad for anything. Should not have to feel bad for having PTSD, but we all do. You label yourself as effed up and that is sad, that makes me feel sad for other PTSD sufferers. We are ill, not effed up. Only criminals are effed up. To get awareness of PTSD, real...

    Struggle

    Yes, the silent war, you are in it too? Iam in excruciating mental pain and dont know why. It is in severity the likes of which I have never experienced before. Why am I being pushed towards such mental anguish, such imeasurable pain? Why do I have to face immense mental strain when I am...

    Going Back To My Abuser

    A victim can be controlled mentally by a skillful abuser. And it is tough to deal with that, similar to a child that a predator wants to show a puppy or kitten to. To get away from abusers and to stay away is a huge battle. You will need more strength to get away from them.

    Cop With Ptsd And Struggling

    Lawyer sounds nice at first but the real tight rope walk would come later because many crazy people out there that call themselves normal will attempt to make fun of PTSD sufferers. That is all the criminals have done that caused my PTSD.

    News Antibiotic To Possibly Treat / Prevent Ptsd?

    I would question the link of bacteria to PTSD. Of course it could have other effects in the body, but what exactly or how exactly would it influence PTSD? Dont know....

    How to be social?

    Cant be of much help because I shy away from strangers. You may excuse yourself to the restroom and if all else fails excuse yourself from the party early with a health complaint. After all if you dont feel well mentally in a situation you do have a valid health complaint. That can be disguised...

    Thinking Of Filing For Disability For Cptsd

    Would you have a possibility of working for yourself, having an independent career? I will always strive for that, the workplaces out there are hell, full of abusive people. There are days when I just don't even want to look or talk to people because they are simply horrible people. They...

    My Health Issue Is Real, Your Cptsd Is Fake

    There is a huge stigma attached to mental conditions. A patient of course has absolutely no control over that but is judged for it regardless. I got PTSD from being stalked and you would not believe all of the horrible lies I have to listen to about this condition, often from complete...

    Dom Violence I Left

    You will have to be vigilant, many exes will turn into stalkers. You are aware of it so you are a step ahead of the game. Do not trust others readily because a vicious ex may attempt to befriend people around you. You would be in awe if you knew how far a jealous ex will go to make "their"...

    Childhood Childhood Memories Are Ruining My Daily Life

    It is very common to go through that when watching other innocent children. Somehow your mind will travel back to your own childhood. Childhood memories are very powerful and when you see an innocent child you automatically think of yourself as the child at that age: then you think how could a...

    I Think I May Be About To Be Fired By Therapist. Not Sure What To Do.

    It does sound like that T is very busy and may be encountering a lot of traffic in the office. But if a regular session can not be held and even a phone session is not available due to time constraints, why could the T not simply offer to give advice on some questions via E-mail? At least that...
