    Isolation and ptsd . how to cope when it's both a trigger and coping method

    Homegirl, you have no idea how much I get where you're coming from. Loveable isolation combined with agoraphobia is a bitch. I would say that I was both afraid of being alone yet afraid of strangers for a month after my trauma. I was wrongfully arrested and held in a jail cell for 4 days with...

    How Do I Develop A Positive Relationship With My Weight?

    I think a concrete diet plan that doesn't involve counting calories and daily cardio would benefit you a lot. Remember, as we all learned from "Legally Blonde" --- "Exercise gives you endorphins. Endorphins make you happy." May I recommend this book [which helped me lose 70 pounds in a healthy...

    Nightmare About My Father

    Sorry, I just got a chance to reply to this since I'm on my laptop. I want to thank you all for replying and giving your insight about my dream. Ironically, after my trauma, I tried to reconnect with my father for support. Of course, he didn't show much support for me. Just recently, a great...

    Nightmare About My Father

    I did not take my seroquel before bed last night. Although my father is not related to my ultimate stressor, he was physically and emotionally abusive when I was younger, especially when I had to go visit him by myself. Last night, I dreamt I was in something that resembles a classroom...

    Recognising The Small Positives

    Trigger While At School Today

    Alright, cool. I'll keep that in mind for the next time. My bad. I didn't know if that would come off as too needy or anything. I definitely just stress-ate a swirled frosty from Wendy's just now. Sorry, I'm not sorry.

    Trigger While At School Today

    Sorry, I'm still new to this and I just wanted to make sure that no one on here looks at me like I'm a criminal because I'm not. I don't know if this is my paranoia just grabbing ahold of me but I just fear judgment and I'm pleading that no one on here judges me. I was and still am innocent. I...

    Trigger While At School Today

    Yes, I called the office and left a message that I want to schedule a phone conference for tomorrow. I have been anxious around any tv shows that show people getting arrested, but I didn't think that this would have resulted in a full-blown panic attack. Thank you for replying. I was noticing...

    Sufferer Hi,recently Diagnosed After Violent Attack

    I know it's rough especially when you don't want your PTSD to affect your family. I'm actually facing that battle right now, especially since I'm in a household that just wants my PTSD to go away. The feelings of guilt don't ever help the PTSD. You're not alone. Welcome to the forum.

    Trigger While At School Today

    After my class, I walked downstairs to the cafeteria to grab a drink before I drove home. A student from the criminal justice department came over and asked me to come view a project a bunch of senior CJUS students have been working on. I like to stay tied to the university's community and help...

    Sufferer Newly Diagnosed And A Bit Scared

    It's fine, I'm not offended. I just don't want anyone to get the wrong impression of my family because they are doing the best they can. It's just that they've never been accepting of any psychotherapy whatsoever, so I was anticipating some resentment when I entered treatment. I know that it is...
