    Sufferer Ptsd + Depression In College

    Hello. I'm also in college and dealt with pretty extreme panic attacks shortly after my trauma. It got to the point where I would have a "fight or flight" response and, after being on campus for only 15 minutes, I would basically high-tail it out of the classroom and run back home. It sucks...

    Helpful Worksheets From Therapist About Managing Symptoms

    @anthony, I don't know if I'm posting this is in the correct place. Please let me know if I posted these in the wrong place, or just move the post to the correct forum. My therapist knows that I'm apprehensive about an impending background check for my teaching job. So, she's given me some...

    Sufferer Ptsd, My Friend, And Babbling Thru An Anxiety Attack

    Many people may categorize certain personality traits that they view as negative under the category "symptoms of PTSD," or they just notice that their personality has done a 180 since their trauma. But, don't worry, I understand what you're saying when you say, "I hope someone understands what...

    Mini-breakthrough: Affirming Identity

    Mini-breakthrough: Affirming Identity

    I went through a big regression last month, and something my new therapist had said to me TWO months back popped up in my head last night: "Now, do you think that your emotions right now are really tied to the PTSD or just stress?" And something kind of clicked as I thought about that... Now...

    DSMedley. Gives the idea that some of the therapeutic materials and supplements have worked for some sufferers or supporters.

    "Medley." A medley is a mixture of various things that conglomerate into one idea, or even an ultimate goal. Plus, it sounds friendly.

    Crumbling Apart

    Also, there are days that are so rough that I feel like I need a drink to just relax and recharge. But, I shouldn't feel like that. That's not healthy. But, I can't bring myself to go running or go biking because I feel emotionally and physically drained. I just want to sit there and suck down a...

    Crumbling Apart

    @arfie, your kind words brought tears to my eyes. But, I feel so isolated and alone. I even tried to contact some people who I thought suffered the same traumatic event, but they don't want to connect with me. And, it makes me feel needy and ashamed. There are times where I think that I don't...

    Crumbling Apart

    This may explain my behavior, but does not excuse it. I've hit a point in my life where my traumatic event may or may not negatively impact the rest of my future. I've been under a lot of stress from my professional life, college life, and social life. My symptoms have returned in full force...

    Other Who I Am?

    Get her out of here. @billie is exactly right -- this person is trying to lure us in for some demented reason. She wants to give us attention, use our stories for his "study" and become "friends", even though she contradicts himself and lists no credentials. Get out of here. You sound like a...

    Regression -- I Keep Wishing It Never Happened

    I'm at a point where my trauma could affect my career. So, not only are my symptoms seemingly returning, but the people responsible for my trauma still have indirect control over the one purpose I have in my life and there's nothing I can do about it. I've had some very bad flashbacks today --...

    Does Anyone Else Have Unintentional Weight Loss?

    I lost 30 pounds because I couldn't eat nor hold down food after my trauma, but the various antipsychotics I took made me gain some of the weight back. I'm working out now to make sure I just am healthy.

    It's Official.

    Really? I had the exact opposite experience. I didn't know that what was happening to me was considered PTSD. I felt lost, I felt crazy.
