At this point I'd even talk to a higher up about her attitude as well- it sounds like she's turning it into a bit of a hostile work environment, and you don't need that extra stress! I work at veterinary office, and when I started having some real trouble and realized it was noticeable to my...

That really is a fantastic idea!! Thanks for sharing! Glad it made you feel so much better. :)

I'll check. Not sure about doing a partial inpatient- I'm holding down a job (but just had a doozy of a set back- last weekend was not fun. at. all.) my therapist hasn't mentioned anything about it.. I'll ask her and see if she's aware.

Thats true. I'm hoping to find more of a support group-type thing to go to instead of a partial inpatient thing. I'll keep poking around. Thanks!

Yea. There are times when I'm completely fine with any intimacy, and other times the uncertainty, the nausea, the "dirty" feeling is there, and neither of us really know what to do about it. I start to get this helpless feeling sometimes, like I have no control. Its incredibly frustrating, isn't...

Does anyone know of any PTSD groups in Maine?

Not really even sure how to phrase what I'm trying to ask. So... I get flashbacks. They only last a few seconds, thankfully, and sometimes are only partial (which is really confusing sometimes, trying to figure out why a certain smell or sound suddenly throws me off kilter). The full flashbacks...

Me too, something like that would be interesting to get insight on! A treatment center for PTSD- wonder how that would function and what types of help they would provide. If anyone knows, post it! I'm up in Maine, USA.

You've got a pretty amazing story. Stay strong, and keep up the fantastic work you're doing with yourself! And congrats on your little 6 month old. He sounds adorable. :)

Thanks, its been a bit of an up and down for me. Had a really bad weekend and I'm still recovering today- little pissed with myself, because I'd been doing pretty well and hoped I wouldn't have more days the last couple.

Its good to know we're not alone, at least. I blanked most of yesterday- after I posted here I tried taking a drive, which usually helps. This time it didn't help at all and when I came home I was barely upright. My boyfriend convinced me to sleep, and then spent hours helping me remember little...

I thought I was getting through everything and starting to get my life in order again. Starting to work through everything, work past flashbacks and work through anxiety. Also, I don't know if this post fits here or would fit better in the anxiety/panic attack forum. But, anyway, here goes...

Hi- So after 14 years of being misdiagnosed with bipolar disorder (and they didn't seem to appreciate it when I brought them evidence of why it /wasn't/ bipolar!) I finally found an awesome therapist and a set of doctors that were willing to listen enough to figure out what it was- PTSD, along...
