Welcome!

Welcome and I hope you find some comfort here. I do!

I miss the long periods when I could block out my dreams! If I do sleep lately, it is not very pleasant and daylight is my friend. Last night was the worst one yet.

Praying for you all! Praising God for a believing relative who is helping me and my child get some needed medical care for seizures.

Welcome to the forum.

My PTSD Diagnosis came from a counselor and my Major Depression from a Psychiatrist. I felt better knowing and labels that are given in a professional manner don't bother me. Their are some negative uses of the labels I have been given, which I may discuss in another post at a later that...

True honesty can be hard no matter what it is, but it is always best. Manipulation from my better half makes me stuff real emotions. It is a safety thing for me.

Welcome and go at your own pace.

I answered yes. And I really have forgiven two out of many they have made amends they have been victims their selves and shown remorse, shame and done it repeatedly with out repeating the abusive behavior all the way to excepting civil, criminal and moral cost. However their are others...

My mother and grandmother have and had fondness for medical care beyond the norm. They singled out of their many children only one to truly give darn about. If they could not be cruel they could not be happy, if they could not be ill they could not feel alive.

Things that make me angry? Oh today not in general. Telling a "possible" remote therapist that I can't use the local one because he says my teenager who caused breathing problems for nineteen days by separating my ribs as a result of physically assaulting me last summer does not need...

I have said I feel emotionally imprisoned. Which turned out to be correct during later marriage counseling. My wife can be very cruel with words but has improved 90% after past counseling. That is a desire to change what came form her own tortured childhood abuse. Now she knows when she is...

Thanks Alexia feeling desperate today.

Sending positive thoughts your way and and also agreeing with others you are doing a good job! Helping others at food bank is one of my favorite things along with what i call space walking i pretend like their nothing and nobody I just walk focus on the sunlight or wind or just birds a...

I keep reaching out for help with a GP and directly and indirectly with family and no help. I feel like every breath is sand but yet not a full on panic attack, does that make sense? I am fighting to stay calm and yet my head pounds even with the seizure med's I am on. Been trying for two...

No I am disabled from my birth defect and these other wonderful issues. Do skype counselors deal with SSDI? Family and fixed income + rural area make it hard to get decent counseling especially in Rural Area.

Welcome I grew up in a rural area if we didn't all volunteer at some point nobody would put out the fire or drive the ambulance. All EMS is real. And I really care about others, welcome.

You are working through things in your own time that is good! My family not a girlfriends family would not let me have time to work things through and picked my original therapist for me. He said after a partial session you were abused so you must be homosexual. Any n in my view can be what...

Has anyone dealt with rural therapy issues. I am in Idaho and it is bad! I have to drive a couple hundred miles or get tele-psychiatry which nobody, including GP sixty miles away is working out. A local counselor wants to use my home to counsel me instead of an office so my family would be...

PTSD effects me for sure I only go out with my wife and teenager's or usually not at all. For a few years I actually was able to function as a part time Animal control Officer/Reserve Deputy. Then my Epilepsy and Flash backs came back almost together after a guy threatened to to end myself...

You are brave and strong. We are all here for you! My symptoms did not start until my mid twenties over ten years after the most violent event in "mind" and yes after disclosure.

Welcome to the forum!

I am 40 and only go out with my wife and children and only for very brief periods. I don't trust "real world'"friends as my childhood was not great. If my parents are still saying my abuse is my fault and my other abusers are innocent as well how can I trust others. My wife and I get along...

I don't call them at all.

I get daily flash backs since running into my abuser about a two years ago. Well o.k. one of my most physically violent abusers. He strangled me when we were both teens after assaulting me in my sleep. Telling me I would watch his and my parents die horribly then he would finish strangling...
