My mother smoked cannabis while she was undergoing chemotherapy and radiation therapy for breast cancer and it alleviated her symptoms. I live in Illinois and next year, medical cannabis will be legal. I think patients with PTSD qualify for medical cannabis. I will consider it. However, because...

On THAT Road

Replace the word "the" with the word "that" in any well-known movie, book, band name or slogans / phrases. Some examples: That Taming of that Shrew, That Who, On that Road Now, you try. Some of these can be really funny. Bonus points for creativity.

It's alright, I just want to make sure that you're okay.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to trigger you but I am investigating these organizations because I'm so appalled by these institutions. I work at an institution for violent and at-risk adolescents, but we have licensed psychiatrists who are compassionate and everyone on the staff is told to treat each...

I take 50 mg of Seroquel and it knocks me out. In fact, I have a seroquel hangover the next morning so I set like 3 alarms to wake up for work. I take it for night terrors. I started taking it about a month ago and also started at 25 mg. I started my anti-anxiety / anti-depressant at the same...

I actually watched the deposition tapes of Newton and his wife. Last night, I actually kept watching recordings about KIDS and Straight, Inc. because I couldn't get over how twisted the entire phenomena was. Taking children out of school, sitting on individuals to restrain them? That one really...

Welcome to the forum, Woof! You have an incredible story. I hope you do find your refuge here and that you feel comfortable here. Also, I've been watching some documentaries about Straight, Inc. and about the investigations surrounding its practices. This stuff is nothing to joke about -- the...

Is this typical for PTSD? Am I just going to have really heinous reactions to people whenever they judge me?

It's so funny you say that because earlier in the year I slightly opened up to one of the girls. I said that what I said about education may have seemed a bit pretentious and arrogant, but it was because I had a few years working in a paraprofessional position for students with behavioral /...

So, this was my finals week and now my semester is over. I have two more semesters until I graduate. I'm in college to become an English teacher. I have a very obnoxious, slightly crazy and creative personality just because that's just who I am. I've always been that way because my passion has...

Unfortunately, @Definitely..maybe, the only healthy alternative to weed that doesn't have all the undesireable side effects of the prescription medication is air. So... buy small.

Don't do that. Wait until medical marijuana is legal because patients with PTSD qualify for medical marijuana. Also, it is way less harmful than smoking that crap.

There was one time when I dissociated in the car (I was the passenger) and when I came to, I didn't know where I was.

Whenever I dissociated, people say that I tend to be in a trance and whenever they say my name loudly, I tend to snap out of it. I haven't dissociated in quite some time *knock on wood* but I don't realize when I am dissociating until I've snapped out of it.

Okay, so I got a good chunk of my homework done tonight. =]

I start Prolonged Exposure Therapy in the new year, but I don't know if I'm going to do EMDR. I have to talk to my psychiatrist about. EDIT: I have a therapist and a psychiatrist. They're in separate locations, but they work closely together on my case.

"First Snow" by Emancipator [feat. Ooah remix]

Dear Friends of the Forum: I'm at the end of my semester since we don't receive a Fall Break. My semester ends this week. I have a mountain of work to do and the more I think about it, the more anxious I feel. I'm starting to recognize my waves of euphoria that slowly trickle down into my...

I suppose this is all apart of our healing process, but I suppose we can all benefit from this: My therapist has been teaching me to identify any self-deprecating thoughts and chiding myself for it. To make up for it, I have to come up with an equal amount of compliments to give myself. Learn...

Alright, let me ask you this: Are you a good friend to yourself?

I think it is alright for you to explore these questions and reminisce about past friendships. However, I would not use this as a reason to not explore new and deepen current relationships. Friendships are beautiful phenomenas in which we dig roots and intertwine with one another because we find...
