First ask yourself are you really in love with this guy? Sometimes it tough to combine the two together with sex. Sex and emotion do go hand in hand in a relationship that's normal. BUT, if you are taking antidepressants or anti anxiety meds, they have a cause of sometime desensitizing you to...
Oh ok then, I don't live with my PTSD sufferer either, it's bad when you long for affection yourself and you don't get it. It's like you are not alone but in a sense you are because a lot of the times sweetie, you will end up doing things by yourself because they may not be in the mood to do...
I am sorry @Spouse 123. Sometimes it can be very difficult to deal with somebody like that. I don't have PTSD but I am a supporter of it. My army man has PTSD and right now he is not speaking to me. See, when somebody suffers with this condition, they don't really understand why things are...
Hello Becca. Have you been going to therapy to see a doctor for mental health? Are you currently taking medications for your situation? Please do not try to backslide into that point when you feel like hurting yourself because if you do guess what? You won't be able to talk to your friends...
That will be great sweetie because I don't want you to get so consumed with it until you cannot fuunction in doing basic tasks ok? I myself and many other supporters are here for you :-)
I am sorry that you are going through this. I think you may need to go to your regular doctor and talk to them about being referred to a mental health counselor and they can maybe start you on some meds to calm you a little. In the mean time, try to stay away frkm negative things or people if...
It seems as though people can't win for losing. Most pharmaceutical companies promote drugs to help people but they mostly talk about the benefits and not the risks of the drug. If the risk outweigh the benefits, then they want to go public with the information. I feel bad for the...
Yes, people who have not gone through something like mental illness or addiction will not understand. to be honest I have been through both dealing with somebody with an addiction and dealing with somebody with a mental illness. So I got a double dose of stuff but guess what? I'm still here...
I don't see mental illness as a weakness. Just a little set back that's all. Just like if somebody hurt their ankle, they will start to limp right? So because the ankle is hurt, it puts a limit as to how fast or well the leg can perform. So until the ankle heals, the leg will have a set back...
Oh wow honey, my heart goes out to you hugs to you as well. PTSD can really ruin the lives of people their friends, children, and their partners or spouses the same way that addictions ruin lives as well. They both are a disease sometimes there is treatment or either a cure but for this case...
@ Medley, you are so very welcome, I really needed that kind word from you right about now. Because I'm on an emotional high right now and I'm really feeling and missing my PTSD man. I love him so very much and I will continue to pray for him, you , the rest of the supporters, and sufferers as...
Yeah, mine I'm beginning to feel that way about him as well. honey. I don't think he is going to give me another chance either. He said he will talk to me after my project is over with but I'm not sure if he even will take me back. He might just tell me that he thought about stuff and it is...
That's good to help with the migraine headaches. Also caffeine can help as well. Drink some coffee or drink some coke or pepsi as those have caffeine in it also drink mountain dew.
I'm not a doctor but I feel the doctor should have given you the 5mg of Celexa because it has to be a weaning off period for certain medications. You can't just stop taking the medication all together because some of the side effects can get so bad that you can die or end up in the hospital...
Well baby, I guess the best thing now for you to do is cut your losses in that aspect and try to move on and try to heal yourself. Sometimes it's just too much water under the bridge and sometimes those feelings never come back for that person. Why did you push him so hard in the relationship...
@ Waistinglight, I know how you feel baby, but don't push him to come back and don't pressure him into trying to talk him to come back to you. If you do, you're only going to cause him to hate you and not be around you at all. He may block your number so you can't call him. That's what mine...
How long have you been with you man and how many times did you two break up? If you both have tried numerous of times and taking a break numerous of times, then I guess the both of you got exhausted with the whole relationship thing @Waistinglight. But you must also remember to take care of...
Sometimes it is tough to forgive yourself when you do something that you should not do. Sometimes when it comes to certain situations, you just don't know and people make mistakes but, we learn from them as well.
Honey, a person with PTSD does not process information the way that we do, let's just say, that it's reverse process. They can't handle the average day to day tasks or conversations because it drains them, it takes a toll on the central nervous system which consists of the brain and spinal cord...
