Yes, I think it's dissociative for me too. I am unaware of quite a lot of pain and at points none whatsoever and this was noted when I was in hospital when they were cleaning the clots and shards of dried blood inside very deep self-inflicted wounds before being stitched up. He was using what he...

Well done and congrats. :hug:

It's actually so stupidly simple a toddler could understand it. Any confusion is unnecessary and should not be further perpetuated - anything that has been said should be moved on from. All people deserve the same human rights, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, race, religion...

Misandry = The hatred or dislike of men. Misogyny = The hatred of dislike of women. Feminism = Believing men, women and all forms of non binary genders have the same rights - we're all people, we should all be treated equally. Nothing more, nothing less. Just like some men can be nice people...

I disagree with this personally, if you mean that it isn't possible to recall events from amnesia or if you mean that dissociative amnesia isn't possible. However, if you mean that you cannot "make" them come, they either do but I do or don't and there is no choosing - then I agree. Though...

Mine weren't recovered through therapy, they came much before that. They were incredibly vivid and distressing - they were full body (and all senses). I recovered some full memories and far more segments and abstract pieces. They were full body flashbacks and I re-experienced everything. I was...

I didn't see your post until after it was closed and then I read it all. I found the anons views (although coming from a caring place) were hostile and isolating. That's not really why I'm posting though. I don't have much of anything to be beneficial for you except two bits of info; the first...

Aside from being the quieter end of the day, I also think that to sleep you have to at least attempt to relax, which lets in far too many thoughts/feelings/memories.

I also have this, or at least my impression of what you've said. Unbearable, intense dread, terror and fear is one way of describing it succinctly, but really it's this feeling that any and everything is painfully overwhelming and all too much, it's crippling and devastating and it makes me...

The two disorders are not on the same scale, bipolar does not represent severe PTSD nor does PTSD cause bipolar. However the two disorders are frequently comorbidly (both at the same time) diagnosed. I'm glad to hear that you've found that a mood stabiliser has been really helpful for you...

Korra at the beginning of Book (season) 4 of "The Legend of Korra".

I second this - fear of what might happen if she doesn't do what he want's or feeling that she should do something to make him happy, especially as he's going through a rough time, coupled with bribery and/or mild manipulation are forms of psychological grooming and children can be easily...

I was just browsing the "coming soon" section of the cinema for my sister and saw that there was a Ted 2 being released later this year - remembering how much @anthony loved it and incase he didn't know - the sequel is soon to be released!

It's actually quite a normal physical response, crying and laughing are both on the same spectrum of emotions and are linked. You might appreciate the following information about it: (ref: http://www.prevention.com/health/healthy-living/causes-behind-13-odd-physical-body-quirks)

Your daughter's safety should be your main concern but also the safety/wellbeing of the younger son. Has the older son tried any therapy to help him learn how to redirect or address some of the symptoms of his disorder? If not that maybe should be considered. In the mean time, you can either ask...

Also (forgot this earlier), blamelessly, depression can cause the sufferer to be hyper sensitive to criticism and experience guilt and shame. It's possible for you to be worried about these things and seeing them much stronger than they are. Also to quote from Frozen (ugh lil sister influencing...

I think it just hurts others when they can't help you and their caring can get convoluted with being angry at the situation. If you're struggling a lot you can call the crisis team back and say you urgently need help, call the police or go to the hospital. Try to stay safe.

Are you quitting smoking?

Powerlessly trying self determination. Painfully traversing sharp discourses. Present tense suitably discarded. Panic, tremors, self-hate, dissociation. Paroxetine, trazodone, seroquel, duloxetine. Pah! This sucks, damn! Peppermint tea saves disquietude.

Move away. It's been a desperate long-term goal that's surprisingly out of my control and long-winded but all the right forms have been filled in. I've even had a response, now all I need to do is to send off letters from my T/social worker /psych and wait. The waiting is the hard part. My...

For example just this second she came into my room to give me a hug and kiss goodnight - sweet thing. But she also moved some of my things and closed a part of my fish-tank lid - not the end of the world but it buzzes. I said thanks but could she leave it open because it buzzes and her response...

She really is! Then I know that it does happen. Not as often as I think so when I'm down or triggered, but it does from time to time subtly and other times less so subtly. The problem then is that it occurs mostly when I am genuinely very unwell or around my Nan or my sister's father. My nan is...

I'm having a problem with my younger sister (she's nearly 6 and I'm 24) with whom I live. She has virtually no understanding of boundaries and is also really "cheeky", stubborn and strong-willed for her age. I'm not sure how much is boundary related, how much is being naughty and how much it is...

Yes, that one phrase is what you have to insist. It does work, but you maybe left in a waiting room for hours in the hospital after you get through triage. My personal experience was after a two hour wait in triage, I was left from 11AM to 6.30PM and was discharged by 7, to make matters worse I...

Yeah, the NHS is more about meeting targets and guidelines, than actually doing what a patient needs. Or at least can be if the staff are overworked and tired - the care drops out of what they're doing. They can either drop target meeting and get fired or drop patient care. Also if a patient...
