4melissa, he's just saying that you shouldn't muddle Carl Jung's beliefs to make it seem like Jung supported cannabis. That's all. You're the one who is angry.

I agree. Recovering repressed memories can end up being very messy. If you and your parent / guardian are up for it, you could check yourself in to inpatient care to do this.

That just sounds like a high to me, but I was smoking primarily to ease my anxiety -- and the indica strain that I utilized gave me just that. Indica strain cannabis will give you that sedetary, relaxed, "I want to go to sleep" feeling whereas sativa will make you feel more energetic...

Wait, how does she know how your eyes were moving that night?

So, I've been taking Abilify for about 4 months with no anti-depressant to accompany it. Because I've had a decrease in flashbacks and night terrors (I've only had three this past month), my psychiatrist took me off my Abilify for this month. We have already steadily brought down my dose...

It's not shallow -- I get it. I experienced hair loss after my trauma, but mostly because I wasn't eating. I couldn't eat anything but soup so I dropped about 20 pounds in a short span, something like 1 month or a month and a half. Have you been having any appetite struggles?

DANCE! :tup::joyful::headphone:

You can always see which marijuana strains work best for you or if you want to see if a hybrid stain will work for you. If you do want to pursue it for medicinal use.

Medical Cannabis has been issued for the treatment of particular PTSD symptoms in the past. Fact. So, don't feel too bad. Many sufferers have used it to either sleep easily or ease anxiety and muscle tension during the day. As always, proceed with caution, mostly for the legal issues involved...

I have to talk about it because it's becoming a huge issue... it's been so for almost 5 months. I daydream about my suicide, whether it is a passing thought or a culminating nightmare that I can't seem to snap out of. I feel as though everyone would benefit if I just left their lives. My...

First, I want to say thank you for sharing your story and you sound like a very brave, strong person. There are people on here with similar traumas. You may not have much support, but I can say that I will offer you my support. Welcome to the forum.

Welcome to the forum and you will find nothing but understanding and compassion here. I'm so sorry for the trauma you experienced, but we're here to support you and listen.

Definitely. You finally feel grounded and connected to the environment around you through some medium that YOU control.

I don't believe in dwelling on or feeding into my trauma, but I will never forget that it happened. For more elaboration, I just mean that I refuse to play the victim my whole life but I will remember how I was victimized by my abusers and the system. No matter how much I wish that it didn't...

Myself and my friend are 23 years old and I would consider ourselves pretty successful and responsible young adults for our age. But, I was just completely caught off guard by her response.

I wanted to grab her by the shoulders, shake her, and scream, "DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS FOR ME TO DRIVE?! JUST DRIVE WITHOUT FEELING LIKE I'M GOING TO SHATTER INTO A MILLION PIECES?!" I dunno -- I've heard of people faking mental illnesses like in high school to make them seem more complex...

I confided in a friend that I have PTSD and the conversation could not have spun out of control even more than it already have. First thing my friend asks is, "Oh... wow... do you think I have PTSD?" And of course I'm taken aback and just say, "What?" "Do you think that I have PTSD? You...

@Hashi , reach out and see if you can purchase modeling clay in bulk from a factory. We have those services out here in Chicago -- plus it's cheaper when it's from the factory. I usually use spray paints and mixed media for my art (lots of x-acto blades and spray adhesive) but clay is definitely...

I used clay as a de-escalation mechanism when I start to feel stressed. We used it for the sensory 1-2-3-4 method when I can feel myself escalating into a panic attack. I still carry little cups of play dough in my purse. ;)

What does your T say about the rage episodes?

What do you mean that you don't work on things? If you don't mind me asking, do you talk at all in therapy or is it just a stalemate? What do you mean? What's happening when you're triggered? I would say that if you're triggered daily, then there is TOTALLY a point to work on it. Like a million...

I'm sorry that you're feeling this way, Secret. I'm here to listen. Are you still out of therapy and out of meds?
