Well, I get your concerns about meds- I tried lots of different types and couldn't handle the side effects. That is until I got desperate enough to try something else- cymbalta. I think it works differently than most anti depressants ...I've recommended it that many times, I think they should...

Yahhh for you! Well done :tup: when I say progress chart I mean it in the most basic sense, I edited my goal response... Scroll up to see...

I know!!! I always appreciate what you have to say :)

Hi Jemini, Sorry to hear things are so damn awful for you- you don't sound pathetic at all. You're just hurting. I was feeling very much like you not so long ago. Are you on meds? Or getting counselling?

Cheers Kahlan!

Haha! Awesome! Looking forward to it :)

I was listening to the radio today and the news woman said someone in Australia was allowed to wear a spaghetti strainer as a hat for their licence photo, because they claim to be a member of The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster... I laughed!!! And it was genuine laughter!!! I didn't...

Hi and welcome Courtney... Looking forward to getting to know you!

I'd like to know too! I know humour and meditation just before bed helps regulate emotions a bit better during the night. Want to do an experiment with me for a week? Just before bed we could do two exercises: 1. Laughter yoga - maybe just 2mins? Check out...

How is everyone going? I made my self a progress chart in reply above

Well done for making that tough choice :) ...I struggle a lot with understanding my needs, I've found that understanding why this is difficult helps. In my case, I was told all the time that I if I wasn't serving another person God (and the rest of my family) thought I was selfish. Whenever I...

I understand! I don't like people to know how vulnerable I feel, so I put a brave face on and act like I'm ok. I guess we're just too good at putting on an act sometimes... I'm working on letting my vulnerability show at times, so I can get the help I need. Maybe you can too? You deserve to get...

Good luck! Try cymbalta if Zoloft doesn't work. I've tried so many different anti-depressants, and the side effects have been unbearable until I tried cymbalta. It works really fast too :)

I struggle with birthdays... It just reminds me of how unloved I am by my fam- the people I never should have had to question re: safety and love. Maybe you can just celebrate a happy un-birthday when things are going a little better for you... Maybe the day you started actively moving on from...

Hi Bell :) thanks for sharing!

Oh Naturebaby, that's severe! I know quite a bit, and am happy to help :) Sounds to me like you may have some food allergies... The first thing you need to do is get on probiotics. For the first month, you need to be taking at least two a day 10mins before you eat. Second step is to eliminate...

YAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!! SO proud of you! It's going to be an incredible experience :tup:

Lol! I know I guess... Just in case someone got upset at my post :whistling: By the way, that workbook looks amazing!!! I'm in! Hopefully I can get it online...

Try not to be hard on yourself! If you're anything like me you were just doing your best to be positive and stick with the job... But in the process neglected to realise your needs weren't being met. Our basic needs for safety/emotional security were neglected at some point in our lives, I...

Hmmm... I guess I was feeling a bit intense when I replied- in my defence I had just woken from an awful nightmare. It's still early hours of the morning here. Too early to be awake :sleep: I think most people know that posts and replies are given with the best intentions... That's whats most...

Hi and welcome... Glad you're stronger now :) I'm in Australia, but happy to get to know you online!

Isn't the game MA? Or R in the USA? What was a child of 8 doing playing it in the first place? I think that the game most likely did influence his actions... Although, I think you are right Ayesha- there are other factors involved. One of my first thoughts after reading the article was: why was...

Yes!!! Get on them :) ...digestive issues is common for people struggling with PTSD, and since serotonin is created in the stomach- it leads to major problems if the digestive system isn't working properly. Some probiotics are definitely better than others, so make sure you chat with the...

I like that you're challenging the stigma associated with PTSD! ...and YAHOO for you- finally getting in to counselling! Just curious, how does the two therapists work? Do they know about each other? I have some very strong thoughts about being labelled etc... My main issue is that all...

I left my last job spontaneously too... Looking back, I realised that I should have left a while ago- I could have done so without the drama. Maybe it was similar for you? I guess the point I'm trying to make is that all anyone can really do is learn from our mistakes :) you're bright- keep...
