Yeahhhhhh Im not really eating much anymore except for my binges because of my medication. Im so scared of gaining. Controlling what i eat, or especially not eat, is taking over so much right now. The binges are triggering it big time. Im just happy my husband is usually home so i wont/cant...

Well, she referred me to a specialist psycjotrauma team because Im too much of a risk. So the waiting begins again....

Its working for me right now. I think i have to go to a higher dosage though. Dreams do get more vivid, be prepared for that... but it does help me during the day. Although I also adopted some longtime not so healthy coping skills. The sideeffects are plenty and horrible. Binges, weightgain...

I'm really sad to read how many people are self harming. I'm glad to see that many of you don't cut yet. Please, never cross that line. I've struggled with self harm for 10 years, and I did cut the last few years. I've been clean for about 4 years now. Yes, I say clean because it IS an...

Well, I'm back on it. Had a terrible flashback last night so my doctor thought it was good to start medications again. We're starting at a low dosage, 50 XR just before dinner and a regular 25 mg before I go to sleep. I usually wake up before 7 in the morning, I don't think that will be the...

@Kieth Moody Yes, I'm starting counseling next Wednesday. He's already said he needs to talk to someone too, to deal with the situation right now. Luckily, over the years we really learned to talk, express what we need, and come to a middle ground. But it's still difficult because I'm a complete...

@Living in the 70s Thank you so much for your message! I am waiting now to start therapy again, its in two weeks. About water, when my ED was at its worst I would constantly drink water, so I really dont like that anymore. Honestly, I think I know perfectly well what to do. Im embracing this...

I have this tendency to make plans for everything and to map everything out, trying to stay in control. I realize that's what I'm doing now, predicting what it'll be like. When I'm being realistic I will probably start crying immediatly because I don't want to live with the realization i've...

I have some things I am extremely disgusted about, about myself. Not ready to talk about those things just yet, I've never told anyone. I did however, just the day before yesterday, confess something to my husband. I met my husband in group therapy years ago. We weren't romantically involved at...

@Sietz I guess so. The last times I went to therapy I wasn't really sure what my problems were, or at least I couldn't describe it very well. It is a conversation... but I feel like we can skip that one. If i have to let it be a conversation, who says how soon the session will be over and how...

Hello everyone, I was wondering if any of you have some tips about starting with a new therapist. I've been diagnosed with PTSD about 8 years ago, and I'm 6 years therapy free. I've come to realize this is because of my coping strategy: working working working. I've crashed, so in a couple of...

This part of the forum is so inspirational. I'm going through a really bad patch. Sometimes it feels like I'm not going to get through it. But in the past years I've accomplished so much that I am so proud of. I got a job in 2012. Managed to build up my hours to fulltime and get promoted three...

I don't know if it's derealization with me. But I experience the same thing everytime I go outside now. It scares me, so most of the time I just stay inside. When I do go out, everything seems unreal to me. Weirdly silent. Like i'm in some kind of dream. I think everyone is looking at me and...

@Living in the 70s Thank you for your kind words. I've been there in a big way as well in 2007. I don't want this anymore. It's just now my coping strategy that I used for years and years has failed I seem to resort to every other coping strategy out there (and I'm not referring to the healthy...

I hope I am welcome here, I've read a few posts and my disordered eating is the opposite. I don't comfort eat. I don't eat to be comfortable. I know it's totally the opposite, but I hope I can still be a part of the conversation here I've been struggling with eating lately, for a couple of...

I have PTSD, he has ADD. I recently had a relapse with my PTSD, the past six years went quite well. The thing is, I litterally initiated everything. Finances, groceries, householdwork, dates. Its not that he didnt do anything, but I had to ask or tell. Worked fine actually, but now my PTSD has...

I've had seroquel a couple of years ago, still had flashbacks. Did manage to randomly fall asleep and once hallucinated in group therapy that the therapist was standing at the gates of hell. I also gained a lot of weight. Still, that almost numb feeling was great at that time, when I was at my...

Thank you so much for explaining, It's freaking me out when I dont remember stuff

Is there any way someone else could have edited this topic title? I don't remember writing the hospital admission part and I havent been admitted to a hospital. I don't generally make mistakes like that, I'm really confused, did I really type that? I have been thinking about how far I'll let...

What started it... I think my body and mind couldnt take my lifestyle anymore. I was unstoppable, I had to do everything perfectly. I was never alone with my thoughts. When driving or showering I was constantly reminding myself of the things I had to do. I didnt have any rest physically or...

@Sietz Sounds exactly like the therapy I've recieved. I'm not sure of the English term, but it was something like Clinical Scheme Therapy. Never used much of that actually. It was mostly responsibility based imo. I'm not going back to that, I've been referred by my GP to a psychologist that...

Hello everyone, How to introduce myself? It's weird to introduce yourself with your most private things. I'll start easy. I'm a young woman, married, house owner, a great job as a manager. I'm rational, prepared, and in control. Or at least, I was, untill a week ago. When everything came...
