@Echo I am sorry you are having so much trouble :( It really does suck, when your mind is so distressed that you would have trouble reading a line of a book, let alone a page... And the drugs really make people feel dopey, don't they?
Do you read books in bed @Echo ? I read for about an hour, then turn the light out and keep my mind blank from thoughts... Works for me most of the time :)
I kind of like this forum! The honesty and the passion you people have astounds me! Even if mum and dad won't talk to me much, but I guess that I need to be patient because I have many siblings on here :D
Ok I will be serious now! Everyday I see stories of courage and determination... I see...
My ex wife is taking a combination of so many drugs, She is taking 300 to 500 milligrams of Seroquel. Watching her on Axanax was not good... GP's can be so stupid these days :( No wonder she looks like the living dead). I surrendered to Zoloft for my head and LYRACA for my nerves. I had a bike...
After 18 years and no alcohol... Good going @Dr. Dreadloc . You must be under some pressure for you to want to have a hang over this morning :(
Could you start helping you and leave out helping others for awhile? The hang over path might bite you on the ass.
What interests me about confrontation is this... My brother and I were having a debate and we were discussing in our own way (aggressively enjoying ourselves). We weren't perturbed about the other or feeling threatened by each other. My sister in law was sitting beside us and was starting to...
It is easier to stay in our comfort zone, whether it be good or bad... Wouldn't your fear for happiness be fear of the fight to be happy and confident? Feeling good about yourself is a fantastic feeling and beats misery and fear any day!!!
You may not need to be told of your past, by some twit with a piece of paper or want pills and potions to relax your mind to be able to cope with the massive change you are trying to complete... But you do need a strategy and encouragement from someone to help you leave that past reality, which...
I don't know. Anger doesn't do me any favours and with depression... I hate feeling down, but at least I can dwell in self pity and feel sorry for myself.
It is pretty easy to see why you haven't kissed a guy yet...
As many others on here can very easily relate to your experiences @BrokenGlass, you must be feeling very alone! Growing up in a dysfunctional family is hard and when your own family teach you all the negatives of life, it doesn't...
You aren't being pedantic at all @Lucycat . My brain was going faster than my fingers and you helped by pointing that out, because reprocessing is an important part that I missed :)
@katiekat This maybe a PTSD forum, but we all see things differently and you are welcome to agree to disagree as much as you need! No one is here to look down at another!!!
This has puzzled me all day @erasjkhanson ... EMDR (eye movement desensitisation therapy). Did the therapist wave their hand (hypothetically) back and forth for 2 hours a day 5 days a week or did you do CBT or something along with it, because I know damn well that I could not focus on an image...
