Herman Is Good While Wikipedia... Let's just say I won't be looking for my license plate on it. I think those things may be true. I have CPTSD. But I also feel that if a child whose ego is not formed undergoes trauma, it may effect them in a kind of CPTSD way. So I believe it is a spectrum...

I think you have to establish a safe place first--whether it is real (home, a room, in bed under the covers) or figurative (one of my peoples in my head maybe with a stuffie). My new therapists office will hopefully be a place of safety... It's dicey because for me, places like my home, my...

I agree. I think Anthony has guidelines about posting about suicidal thoughts and gestures, but I'd say if you're thinking of making a post like that--to contact your therapist, your doctor, or someone IRL who can help you (e.g. a crisis line).

lol Jeffery. You must also remember that I've had mono all summer and my boyfriend contracted scabies from his mother. Sitting at home on the computer has been my one activity (I hate watching TV). My kitten is still in utero. I was going to go visit with my brother and his family, but the...

trapped-- If I could, I would give you a hug. And you would hug me and we would be like twins. And we would go through the world and it would seem less aggressive, less angry. We would be safe because we would have each other. She Cat is right. :poke: It is the ED talking. Remember, what...

You might have to get the injections, but the nightguard will always provide the protection for the teeth (not nec the jaw). I am making up an anatomy picture for my dentist so she can change my hard acrylic night guard to give my jaw a rest. (It will keep my mouth open at a certain angle...

Hi :) Abandonment is a big issue for me as well. I am constantly waiting to find myself homeless or worse. I never believe people around me when they say that they are there for me. It just doesn't make sense with all the abuse I've suffered. If they're there for me now, where were they then...

he doesn't even know what to do with the "estate" (she had dementia and was in assisted living)

I do not have a diary here. I do not have enough posts to have a blog. I do not know how to have a diary otherwise. Thanks guys. It does help a lot to hear your words.

I just want to re-iterate the concept of too much or too little. There is no such thing--its like having a head that is too big or small. It's your head! Trauma is trauma. When it happens, it changes the brain. When the brain has change done to it, that can be trauma and it sounds like that's...

Hi She Cat. You are right to say that. I don't know. How do people demonstrate their emotions without going over the top?? How do people talk in a reasonable way when all they want to do is sob? How do people get along when they can hardly speak at all? I don't know death very well. He has...

Get away from this person! This person is dangerous! How do you know if they speak the truth! If you want an investigation, go to the police! Be aware! Sometimes people who have gone through tragedy have it written on their forehead! (Today is the day of one step) Take Care of YOURSELF!!! YOU...

I posted about my bf's mom's death several days ago and got some really nice responses. But, like any death, it's NOT OVER. I have freaked him out every single day with my PTSD-ish reaction to her death. I never mourned my recent death in the family--my father has no emotions and I think my...

You know, I think this is all highly premature. Four months is the DSM cut off--not a fast and held true amount of time. And you're 19. If you're planning on joining the Army, I'd vote against it. If you're planning on walking in a garage at night, I'd plan against it. But working on your trauma...

My add and mdd bf struggles with this (he has some ptsd but not full blown enough to warrent a dx--but he's been through some awful traumatic and tragic times with his kids). He knows his kids are okay with their mother and her new husband right now (a 7 hour drive away yuck). However, he feels...

He talked to his ex-wife last night. He's going to give her some money (she has the kids--6). I do feel jealous because they have a history together, but I know he doesn't like her. This is my second death recently and my third if you include my emotional death back in October. In October, my...

Actually, you can by law request information about your medication. Every single hospital I've been in has some kind of patient group referring to the medications and almost always, one of the shrinks drop by. You can refuse medication. However, the law in the US can intervene and force you to...

Thanks, everyone. I saw a new t today and it was awful. We went to the mortuary--those are such strange places. He's going to have her cremated then cast her out into the Pacific. He'll be reminded of her every time he goes to the beach. We're trying.

I just want to add that my shortest stay was three days and my longest stay was over 3 months when I was getting ECT. There's a difference between suicidal ideations and being suicidal. A lot of times (at least here in CA) if you have suicidal ideations, they're like wa'ever. If you're...

I feel like an old clunker. Right now, I need a paint job, new tires, the transmission has slipped off the engine block, etc.. Therapy works through those things. Ultimately, I'll just need oil changes.

She was very ill when I met her, but it seemed like she was just plugging along. He gave me her first wedding ring as a gift. I changed out the stones, but it's the same. My poor baby is grinding his teeth in the night. He has add and mdd and I have Bipolar, DID and PTSD. I don't know how...

I was on it for a short bit. I stay on the way low side of anti-psychotics too. If it helps you sort things out, think clearly, and sleep better, then I'm all for it. I got a little chubb on mine.

Charles, I totally agree with Anthony. I want to add that just by finding this place and then having the courage to post this first post about what happened to you and how your family life is--is a BIG DEAL!!! Some people have trauma and they can't get to it for years because it's very scary...

I know this might sound overbearing, and I know that you live in an area where it's hard to find good trauma therapists, but it's a safe idea to concentrate on how she responds to you--how she responds to things you yourself have come to an answer about. I am saying this because I made the...
