I feel like I wouldn't like me if I met me.

Lately I've been feeling like a falling bomb.

Thank you!

Thank you for your kind words, Red. My therapist told me that this will be with me forever (no doubt) bit we have been working on skills so the thoughts aren't intrusive. Also we have been doing some "rephrasing" so the guilt is not on me. For example, in the past I said "I want to feel better...

Mods/admins- please feel free to Move this if it's in the wrong spot. November of 2014 I was arrested for simple possession of mj. My charges were Spm, speeding, following too closwly, and DUI (I was not smokIng at the time of the arrest).. To make a log story short, I got a lawyer and he...

If you can, before your hearing, try to get a reputable lawuer. Public defenders, they work for the solicitors office, meaning they will work with you but they are hired by the .people who are against you: the police, etc.

In sorry that you have a neighbor stalking/harassing/making inappropriate comments. The best thing you can do is ignore him, don't get a rise out of him... My guess is that he wants fire to be added to the flame. But like the poster above me stated maybe You should talk to hm and make your...

And cats!

How did I forget listening to music?!?:wideeyed:

If I have no one to turn to, il either play guitar or uke (very therapeutic for me). Or I'll draw, write in my journal. Sometimes I think about my therapist, and the insight and "words Of wisdom" from my last session. For me, videogames is great, as it lets Me temporarily leave this world and...

I mean, we can choose to move past our traumas, but it's going to take a lot of work. It's something that sounds easy, in theory. Just "move past it" and "don't dwell on it." My trauma, to me, is something that's always going to be with me. I want nothing to do with it, but it's all I can ever...

Sometimes I have nightmares that I don't remember right away, or sometimes at all, and that's another reason why I wake up anxious.

Sometimes, for me, nothing will simply trigger the anxiety. Sometimes I just wake up anxious. But (for both you and me) probably all the stress, memories, etc will all build up and compile into anxiety. I think you should tell your therapist, even though you may not know the exact "cause" of the...

Hang in there, Paxil has one hell of a withdrawal. If I could recommend, try a few more weeks tapering down if you can, rather than all of it in one week.

It's good that you have started to let the memory run its course, and then letting it go! In theory it sounds easy. Letting it go is the hard part.

Thanks cat lady! It does make me feel better believing that she is in a better place. However, I don't really have a belief system. I like your screen name though! Cats are the best! =^.^=

She is really good therapist, actually! She deals with trauma, as she's disclosed with me before, she has had her own trauma from her childhood, as a result of a car accident. I've brought up the idea of EMDR with her, but she's not qualified for it. My best friend, who also has PTSD, has had...

"Having PTSD doesn't excuse you being an asshole" -my girlfriend I...didn't know how to respond.

Thanks for the support. Each day, each moment, is a struggle in its own. I'm glad I having a loving family and girlfriend for support. But even with all that support I am in despair. I don't know where else to turn to.

Almost three months ago, I was coming home from my drug/alcohol counselor. It was almost 830 pm.. I was almost home, right around the corner.. ....then I hit something. Or. Someone. I sat in my car, dazed for a moment. My first Thought was "My airbag went off; I hope my car isn't totaled. My...
