I started taking Venlafaxine XR (effexor) in the fall of 2015. I quickly worked my way up to 225 mg. Well, starting in late 2016 (Nov/Dec) I had trouble remembering things. Fast forward to Spring/Summer of 2017, my brain is SO foggy. I cant remember common things and words often, I can NOT...

@enough I'm not forcing religion on to anyone. The question is simply asking if anyone has ever found healing IN religion or faith. My traumas were mostly centered around religion as well, specifically Christianity. I wasn't brainwashed but I did grow up with the fire and brimstone type speech...

PTSD can have a numbing effect on emotions, even the ability to enjoy romance and become intimate. This does not happen to every sufferer, but it does happen to those with PTSD and CPTSD. Does she have the numbing effect on her emotions?

@Tornadic Thoughts I'm not really sure how people use nature to bring healing. Do you just spend time in nature? I'm not an outdoorsy person, so I am genuinely curious!

**PLEASE NO HURTFUL OR RUDE COMMENTS** I 100% support seeking medical and therapeutic help for healing from PTSD & CPTSD, depression, anxiety, OCD, etc. But in addition, has anyone ever found solace, peace, comfort, and/or healing with faith in a God or higher power? Please share your...

Okay I understand.. Thank you for your time and knowledge :)

How do you get in to the Neuroplasticity?? And thats awesome. Olive oil is amazing! much healthier than vegetable oil!

@StormySea I 100% relate!!! That part of my body/spirit that experiences love, romance, happiness, etc, has a on/off switch apparently, and mine is set to "off". I can not fall in love. I can't even experience a simple crush on a guy. I'm 21 years old.. EVERYONE tells me "You've got your whole...

I enjoy cooking my own meals as well. They just taste so good! Growing up my mom always cooked a lot of food from a can.. I go to the grocery store and buy the fresh produce (Snap/green beans, corn, asparagus, onions, peppers, fruits). I then sautee/bake the veggies instead of boil! Tastes SO...

My mind is kind of blank when I'm asked this question.. At the same time I'm just thinking about how much I'd love to experience romance again! Sometimes I day dream of meeting a sweet, caring, man who enjoys the same things I do, and falling in love. PTSD has robbed me of that experience!

@Sietz I'm sorry to hear you're going through that. I don't exercise really. I use to, but I can barely make it through a workout because I just don't have the energy needed to push through. Eating healthier is always a good idea. It's definitely difficult, but I believe in you! & I have yet to...

@Fadeaway What if I seek help and never find what helps me heal? I worry about that!

Well, I was training brazillian jiu jitsu, working out at the gym 3 days a week, and consuming the same or maybe a little less calories a few months back. I now live a more sedentary lifestyle because when I was working out, I couldn't make it through the workouts barely, and my personal...

@Mal Content I made the thread!

Over 10 years ago I began taking adderall. It caused me to quit eating for a year or so. Then I went through multiple traumas over the period of 7 years where I quit eating each time for months at a time.. Now I can only eat one or two meals a day. I get full very very quickly after eating very...

New to the forum! I have struggled with PTSD for many years. Everything really started in 2009. I won't go into deep details right now, but mine has been centered around religion, specifically Christianity. I will say I 100% accept advice centered around faith, but I do not appreciate the...
