    Sufferer Complex Ptsd

    Hi Jim! Welcome! What I recommend is if you'reoverwhelmed, just write out your own situation and see what people say. Ignore the other feeds perhaps for now. Also you may find chat a bit easier to handle. Good luck on your recovery! Also, as a fellow Canadian feel free to PM me if you have...

    Sufferer Do I Have Ptsd?

    Hi Mist! I'm just going to bed but I thought I would welcome you to the forum first! And in answer to your question, we can't tell if you have PTSD because it is a certain way your body reacted to certain stressors (among other things). However, that doesn't mean that you don't have to cope...

    My Ptsd...is It All Me? Or Is He Really Controlling And Emotionally Hurting Me?

    First off, *hugs* Second he is definitely manipulating you and physically harassing you-- no means no. This: "frequently reminds that no one will ever love me the way he can " is just awful and hurtful. You are 110% worth more than that! He is turning everything back on you but it isn't on you...

    I Deserve These Nightmares

    Of course you don't deserve them! You didn't deserve to be raped by not locking your door; you were in your own house! And reporting is a horrible process and if you didn't know who it was it would have been even more of a stressful experience. My boss reported my ex-bf to the cops and even...

    News Nicolle Wallace Jokes On The View About Ptsd

    Not funny or acceptable (I haven't watched it), but I agree that Sarah Palin is a traumatising person to listen to. People need to learn to word things better.

    Treatment Unavailable

    Luckyduck, not sure where in Canada you live but in Ontario there are therapy programmes covered by OHIP. I don't know as much about the other provinces and territories but I do know a decent amount about services in Ontario :)

    Relationship Ptsd Denial.

    I am so very sorry for what you are going through, and I'm 20 so I know how hard it is. However, the longer you stay the harder it will be to go because your mind will be so warped that you won't let yourself after a time. For example: I was coerced/raped by my ex-boyfriend and I didn't realise...

    Trauma Makes Somatic Excersizes Impossible?

    Hi Ciara I'm Emma! I'm the same. Is there any way you can guide yourself into it in baby steps? It would only be one on one right? Thinking that if your therapist makes any of the comments you've experienced you can fire and sue him/her may help. Have you told your therapist about your...

    Understandable; just pointing out that there are more options than living on the streets or doing what I think you're alluding to.

    Rule Of Thumb

    Relationship How To Give Him Security?

    Yes it is him but this is the kind of thing that does not get better magically. WHat I mean by that is issues like this take years to work on and only if you want to work on it. It doesn't sound like he does. I still think my emotionally unavailable ex bf is the one for me. I 100% love him and...

    Relationship How To Give Him Security?

    This is going to sound high and mighty and I really don't intend it to be. Unfortunately you have to realise there is a difference between loving someone and being right to be with them. I am madly in love with my ex boyfriend who has done much the same things your boyfriend has. I still love...

    Rule Of Thumb

    Ayesha I definitely agree that it is a very sacred symbol. But it isn't just that anymore. And how most of people see it is not as a sacred symbol. It really upsets me that people think that just because something once was acceptable it means it still is. I made that sound a lot more insensitive...
