I am broken. The abscence of joy. Life has been difficult the last weeks and darkness blooms. I look back and see pain, I look forward and see nothing. The nightmares are back, and I am unable to sleep and feel and think and breath. I look at love and feel despair. I fail to remember my dreams...

Hey. I was in that situation for many year and it only got worse. In the end it turned out my thyroid was ill, something many people with PTSD experience. Total long shot, but maybe check it out? An inexpensive bloodtest clears it up. Since I am on my thyroid medication I am alive. I mention it...

And so the past has ended. All that is left to do is finding the strength for another journey. I do not know where to find that strength, but I hope it will find me. That is all I can do for now and I want to do it well: Making it easy for strength and hope to find me. And, after all, is this...

It sounds like you maybe could have something physical going on. PTSD can do that. Ask your doc about that. I wish you all the best. Demanding help is a very difficult and very wise thing to do! :hug:

Thank you! @void My thyroid is acting up and my hormone levels are down in the dumpster which is an awfull feeling. Zero energy, immense depression and hopelessness. Its not my first rodeo though, and I know its all temporary and basically a f*cked up illusion. Getting reminded of this thread...

Thank you so, so much! Very appreciated. Remembering me of this thread could not have come at a better time, as I am quite sick right now and that was a good lift! :) :hug:

Hello, I would like to tell you guys about Kratom. Kratom is a herb that is legal in most places on the world, and I think its pretty amazing. In smaller doses it has positive effect on mood, energy on concentration and it helped me a lot. You ingest small amounts of ground up plant matter. Its...

Why are you asking me this question, that has nothing at all to do with my quote? Disproving a claim for a trend is not establishing another. The same as disproving a lie does not automatically create another lie.

Thank you for all the awsome posts. Really, really encouraging and hopefull stuff.

I. So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”Gandalf II. What's important is that you choose life... and then live. Naomi Hunter III. When we hit our lowest point, we are open for the greatest...

Hello. Naturally, this forum mostly deals with the negative experiences with therapy and therapists. I am in the process of finding one and it its horryfing, absolutely terrifying to me. Three meetings, three disasters. So I thought I'd ask if any of you would like to share your positive...

Except Whig "theory" is a political perspective, while I encouraged a scientistic. Or put another way: Whig theory is about proving a prejudiced belief, while the optimistic skeptic's view is about disproving the theory of declining humanity. One is a logical approach, the other isnt.

This forum is a support forum. To support is wanting to help. The heart of people trying to help others with the same affliction as themselves, is the hope that ones suffering can help alleviate anothers. It is a great source of strength and hope, and a vital part of accepting ones situation...

@anthony Doesnt this kind of thing fall under fair use?

I feel strongly that this thinking is the majority. Go to any random forum in the internet, and this is how a vast majority argue, all the while thinking they are a minority.

I think she put me on ignore for my post in this thread. Sane discussion might be impossible. Wierd.......

Welcome! I wish you all the best and hope you find what you are looking for. I believe, there is a special website made for people suffering from combat ptsd. Let me look...ah yes. Link Removed Maybe look around there as well? Might be better suited.You are welcomed here as well. :hug:

Nah. The nice, kind people are quiet. Nice, good things and deeds are quiet. Heroism is quiet. You dont notice them. Violence is loud. One abusive asshole is louder then a thousand paragons of virtue. I love mankind. I really do. And I believe it is a personal obligation to not allow the bad...

I feel like a quick glimpse in the history books shows that humanity as a whole is continually improving. :hug: It is an upswing graph with many ups and downs, but the trend is upwards. I dont know what your generation is, but I personally dont feel particulary raped. I believe one tends to...

@Saint Nik I feel your intent of trying to be helpfull is very clear, so if people are offended I believe it is the kind that invites discussion. Its not like you delibaretly tried to hurt anyone. You made yourself vulnerable by trying to put your point of view into words, when the safe thing...

I am not going to discuss the topic anymore, as I explained in my post. I just want to say I truly enjoy the level of discussion here and am amazed by the mature reaction of everyone involved. I was feeling very anxious after writing my post. I was afraid of people being insulted, lashing out...

@FridayJones I get what you say about humor in those jobs. I myself coped with humor during my two years caring for ill and/or wounded kids from warzones. Humor was essentiall and very natural. Came as easily as breathing. The only people not using humor at that place were bitter, angry people...

This thread is highly confusing to me. I feel it is, well, ridiculuosly tactless to try and victimize the police in a thread by somebody suffering PTSD from police abuse. Come on guys, you all suffer PTSD and can see how @Ed Norton's link must make him feel. There is being rational, being...

Hey all. Thanks for all the posts. Sorry I could not respond earlier, but I am having very difficult time concentrating and being calm last days. Lets see how this goes! There is so much to say here, I cant possibly respond to it all now. @Kefira, thanks for the kind words. They are very...
