And I agree with "change". I tried working out shortly after leaving the trauma and was just re traumatized. I can't go to regular yoga classes because I will simply break and be traumatized again. The key is finding some style that works for you and don't get disappointed with yourself if a...

Yes, there are different types and styles of yoga, so find one that suits your needs. As part of my therapy, I have been urged to seek out Trauma Sensitive Yoga and also trauma sensitive meditation instructors, specifically those with experience dealing with PTSD so they aren't caught unaware...

We've lived through this for about 4 or 5 years before given a name. Once the name was given, my partner had a hard time accepting it and was dealing with his own work trauma that really shocked and scared him for about a month. I realize the trauma I caused and admitted that to him while...

Personally, I would not accept the request nor respond. I agree with other posters that the bully may not remember, and if she does she may not remember it the same way. While it may be tempting, trust I get it, the best response is none at all until you are able to move beyond that anger. I...

Guess I should add that my BP was 143/100 on Friday. Today it was 125/88.

First, thank you all for your thoughts, comments and encouragement. I have calmed down and learned a few things, and hope to continue learning. I suppose the phrase "panic attack" is my word to describe it as I don't have any other at the moment other than fight/flight. The true panic attack...

I joined last week after telling some friends what was going on with me for the past few years. Didn't know what was happening the next day but knew my fight/flight was activated on Tuesday. Wednesday it was nearly out of control and I lost myself on an "extended" walk. Friday, I was shaking and...

I think I can safely say you aren't the only one, and if not many people have the same reaction to this particular movie then others dealing the same topic(s) but portrayed differently would be the triggers. For me, I saw a trailer for a movie called PTSD and it sent me over the edge. I'm still...

I believe they are obligated. My own T was so obligated to continually tell me to walk away from my job for a very, very long time before I did. It's a fine line, but to save someone it must be crossed occasionally. So sorry to hear about this happening and I truly hope you find some peace! My...

A huge release of pent up emotions driving me to not want to do anything else but drink (self-medicate) and finding it hard to resist. I'm lethargic and lost. Scared but relieved at the same time to finally let go of these pent up frustrations. But also realize they aren't the root of the trauma...

I don't know if this helps any, but I had many moments of time loss and blackouts. My therapist said it was cognitive dissassociation because I was processing so much or experiencing/reliving the trauma and I had to be elsewhere. For me, not remembering was how I survived.

Just dealt with this very same issue myself this week. Still reeling from the emotional fallout. Two friends completely disappeared from my life and it haunted me as much as the memories of the trauma I had been enduring. I wanted to hurt them in some way and constantly envisioned ways of...

Hello, I am new to this forum and I have been dealing with PTSD for over 2 years now. I am a civilian. I did have a lot of trauma in my early life and was victimized several times, but honestly thought I had moved beyond it all and was headed in a good direction finally. I had been in therapy...
