Sad and frustrated at the loss of my original families love for me!

Welcome and I know it is scary, you are not alone in your struggles here. I have some similarities to you, however nobody is the same, please feel free to let me know how I can be of help.

No I did not report it to authorities. In fact for years in denial I thought it had not happened, I mean how could another juvenile relative I knew and loved like a brother rape me! My family still says all abuse I endured is my fault and I deserved/encouraged it. As an adult coming out...

Welcome, I thank you for sharing.

Welcome I know you can find support here.

We just both shared our horrible childhood histories almost right off that bat. I went first and Her shortly after and I am not assertive when it comes to my in depth "detailed" story.It was crazy we just instantly knew we could trust each other! We are never that honest with anyone. It was a...

Mods feel free to move this. I am just wondering how and if others feel like there PTSD is related to childhood "Brain Injury" or if their "Behaviors" are. I have always cried more than normal and been very antisocial even as young child and very afraid of females. I did not know My brain...

I can only trust my "life story" in full detail with my spouse who was also the victim of a very rough childhood. As for friends and family they seem to prey on me and I seem to set myself up for it. Isolation and surrender are almost as comforting to me as self harm is distracting...

My parents and even Grandmother had favorites and played mind games with many of us. My Grandpa was a little gruff outside but really soft inside, however He put others including me first and only got mad if I didn't take my seizure meds. He loved me! Think trips to the ice cream shop and...

This is a daily struggle for me lately and was weekly struggle as a teen. You are not alone and you have been given great feedback here. I am having a really hard time getting help, but I still talk to my family at least. Talk to anyone that will listen!

I feel empty inside and alone.

Any one have experience/success with this with "Major Depression"? I will try it.

Therapy is an elusive goal for me in a very rural area on a fixed income. It is happening "I Think"; but at snails pace.

I get extreme anxiety from sirens and from the town EMS/Disaster siren used for fires. In addition since being in an ordinance enforcement role and being threatened by a person with a firearm I literally "take cover" behind a vehicles engine block area when strange vehicles go by and I am...

I know I have real value in this world when I hear how much my family depends on me. I know how to love others and enjoy being kind.

Welcome and thank you for sharing.

Welcome to the Forum!

I believe and have been told by a Nuero-Psychiatrist in the past that I have both Epileptic and Psychosomatic Seizures. They are scary and yes they are both "in in your head". I have partial seizures, which affect my upper body and I also have trimmers in my arms. In addition if stressed out...

Me and some family members volunteer to server others with similar financial issues a few times a month. And another family member is now an Emergency Services Volunteer. When doing the group activity, again yes I feel safe and even happy (until I realize I am not just with my family) as it...

I learned other than a "safe" user name on a forum I really don't trust well any more. Between seeing people suffering as a volunteer emergency responder years ago (along with my own suffering) and seeing cruelty to children and animals as a "Dog Cop". I feel safe at home and choose to go out...

How can I show my wife I don't mean to push her away? She is very supportive in general, yet this PTSD "monster" is coming between us! I have extreme guilt about the fact my disability canceled hers out due to bureaucracy. She no longer has medical coverage and I do. She also gets...

"Raj" is funny on my wife's favorite show and it reminds me to find healthy ways to turn my "rage energy" towards healing. Denial is so fun though!

I am grateful my wife puts up with me good or bad.

My seizures are caused by the head injury my sibling gave me when they through me on a cement floor head headfirst and enhanced by a birth defect. Some rage there as I was lied to for years and told that there was no known cause for these seizures, then treatment was taken away cold turkey...
