    Other Dermatillomania ... any tips?

    I am actually going to the doctor tomorrow for a follow up for my ADHD and I'm going to try and keep up the nerve to ask her about it. I never fully explain it so doctors just keep perscribing acne treatments for it.

    How I Started Managing Symptoms Through Diet

    I don't think this post was meant to be offensive. A lot of food contains preservatives, hormones, and chemicals now days. Those things enter your body, then can enter your blood stream and effect your entire any system in your body, including your nervous system. If you look up any website on a...

    How I Started Managing Symptoms Through Diet

    I did not read everyone's replys, but I agree with @moonbeam. You are on to something though @annexthecelt . I work in health and fitness, and believe there is a link between physical health and mental health. I started eating Paleo last year, and when I stick to it I find I am in better...

    I Will Start With The First One I Recall ...

    Sounds like you had a very similar situation to me @shrinkingviolet. It was almost more frustrating to know that he was just walking around on campus like everyone else, and me not feeling like he even knew what he did to me. I eventually transferred schools, not because of him, to get into a...

    If Sex Comes Up, Can I Just Not Tell Him?

    I like what @rightkindofme had to say. Do what feels right. I personally have never told someone before having sex with them, and while trying to start a relationship with a great guy a couple years ago I triggered during sex and that led to the end because I did not know how to explain it to...

    I Will Start With The First One I Recall ...

    Thank you for the comment @The One Who Knocks! I appreciate the support. I am very much enjoying all I get out of this site! The real trauma feeling comes from not being able to connect with anyone. To think back and not feel like I can tell a story about my "first time", and not as much that...

    If Sex Comes Up, Can I Just Not Tell Him?

    I don't think it is something you need to tell him, but if you want some honest advise I do not reccomend FWB either. I don't know your personal story, I just posted mine today if you want to read it! I just think as rape victims we already feel such a disconnect to the intimacy of sex. After my...

    Hello @Frogs88, I am new to the site, and I might be able to help, but what is it you are thinking about telling or not telling him?

    Do You Find Using This Forum Regularly Helps Or Hinders Your Ptsd Effects?

    I was recently explaining some of my life experiences to a friend. He felt the need to apologize to me about a lot of it because he felt bad for me. I told him there was no need to that and explained it like this. My traumas are things that happened to me, like stubbing my toe, or spilling...

    Do You Find Using This Forum Regularly Helps Or Hinders Your Ptsd Effects?

    I understand where you are coming from @Cool Cat, I am new to the site, but have already found that some days reading others posts almost hurt more than help, but the chat has been amazing. For a long time I lived in denial that I was suffering, I told myself I was being dramatic because I knew...

    Switched At Birth Dealing With Rape

    i have not seen the episode, but i have seen that commercial for it. I was a victim of campus rape. People tole me it was just sex, that I was drunk and people mess up, they acted like it was just a drunk night out for me, but I did not think so. People were even walking up to me in the dorm...

    Thank you for replying @Matilda and @Candleflames it is always good to hear someone understands! My skin picking has been going on for a long time, my biggest problem area is my arms, and used to be mindless as well. I have had a couple traumas in the past several years, one was an abortion...

    Other Dermatillomania ... any tips?

    Barriers? Yes and no. If I can't see or feel my skin I wont touch it, however, like I said, I am pretty young. I want to be wearing shorts and dresses in summer, but I don't want people to see my skin, especially my arms.

    Other Dermatillomania ... any tips?

    Any sufferers dealing with this disorder have tips on avoiding touching my skin? Year by year it seems to get worse for me, what doesn't look too bad to me now would have looked terrible a year ago. I'm young and having the skin on my arms and legs look so bad is pretty humiliating, especially...

    Are Meaningful Relationships Even Possible With Ptsd?

    Hey girl. female to female I feel your pain in just wanting to be loved. I know what it is like to look back and not quite understand why you said what you said it did what you did. To feel like you are not yourself in those moments. It is terrifying and you feel trapped. It sounds like you are...
