i didn't see anywhere in his post he was actually asking for the label ? and having remembered a couple of Sonic Whites other post about being in Jail and what not, its not beyond the real of possibilities he does have ptsd , its certainly far to early to tell , from a new dr diagnosis. I was...

i know how big the place is and have travelled on many roads when they were still dirt - The Stuart , Nullarbor , when the Hume was still a two lane and what not - i dont think id be dropping in on someone that so offensive ! My grandfather was considered one of the pioneers of Australian...

can prove it through and through bud....was raised with what at the time was the largest heavy haulage company in Australia and travelled from the time i was a toddler until l left school , on average 3 months min each year - if you want proof can send links to old photos of loads and what not...

its a fantastic experience to show the kids the road - ive done it going from CA to MA , MA to NM , NM to MD. i hope you all have a great time , its truly a once in a lifetime experience. When i was a kid i regularly went on road trips with my father, sometimes for 2-3 mths at a time, I got to...

My second daughter had the same problem and would complain regularly , she went off to a orthopedic surgeon who stated that her tendons were the main cause of the problem as they were not stretching enough with her rapid growth and it would just take time...she is a lot better now but it went on...

Solaras point is probably the most valuable advice you could be given , if you have complex traumas you have to be very careful about how you approach treating them , in some cases both EMDR and Prolonged Exposure therapy are not appropriate for many complex traumas as working on one will cause...

i think its when you come to a point of acceptance and no longer feel shame or blame , you are also able to put it in perspective in the sense you will still emotionally react at times but with a view of being able to keep it from taking a life of its own

I had a similar situation with Prolonged Exposure therapy and an inexperienced therapist, it took a few weeks or even months to get things back on track and in perspective. I agree she should suspend the therapy thats causing the hyper arousal , it serves no purpose if it puts you in further...

If its that bad , may i suggest you look at what skills you have or could acquire and go it alone ...what do you have to lose ? Working for yourself can give you the flexibility to deal with it on your own terms

I have had the pleasure of being with a couple of people who were dying , they knew it and were ok with it - i too struggled initially , what do i say, what do i do ?, im not in the right space etc...you took a situation with a person at their most vulnerable, you showed care and compassion. You...

We all want someone to love and someone to love us , sometimes we really do have to take a step back and take a hard look at what our wants do to us. You stated you've been in your home for 15 years and i take this to also mean you've been settled in one place, you also have children and a...

i couldn't do it, i need to see a face , to be able to read a face whilst i'm talking - i need to know someone is there and the feeling of an empty chair would only highlight the fact that many times through my life there was no one there. But like anything , if it works for you , go for it.

i treat my therapy as a professional relationship , if they say something i find concerning, i call them out. If they say something thats not helpful or not for me, l let them know. If they suggest a different approach , i ask them to explain it in detail , so i can weigh the pros and cons. I am...

i wont let the monster control me , i have good days and bad days , but im finding if i keep pushing forward it does seem to minimise eventually. I haven't slept a full night for over a week now...with most i've slept in one night being three hours. I had a horrid night last night with several...

oh boy oh boy ....ive had an online presence since about 95 i think , i used to meet many people online then in real person. I used to live way out in the sticks , near a regional airport that only had flights every few days. I met this woman from Sydney , we chatted for hours at a time , phoned...

i dont assume to know the reasons for his actions , but step parenting is hard at any time and at 19 ....oh boy - he is old enough to be spoken to as an adult - talk directly to him in a adult to adult manner and let him know you dont like people behind you (i dont like people behind me and...

Before we can find a friend , we must be that friend to ourselves, Yes its hard but frankly what choice do you have, you are the only one you have ! I have family thousands of miles away , i have no friends here , great business relationships and what friends i do have that are close are either...

i think Solara makes excellent points and i would add simply that when we are really stressed and things are going wrong , we sometimes keep piling on...don't...take a step back and realistically look at how you feel, i tend sometimes to go into crisis mode because i think it should be a crisis...

im so sorry to hear your going through so much, particularly with a parent with ALZ. My father died from ALZ but i had the fortune to take 9 months off before he was fully hospitalized and oh what fun we had. He knew early on he was getting it , and when we were together he was lucid probably...

i would suggest a simple exercise, for every diagnosis he gives you , he must provide two positives of anything. I don't think its fair to rationalise it and let it continue, this sort of behaviour becomes draining , nothing more , nothing less. Its like finding the string that unravels and...

i understand and im sorry for expressing such a harsh bias in my previous post. I remember when i used to get triggered and felt so helpless. I know first become very much aware of the physical reactions and try my best to get these down to a manageable level . I have suffered from intrusive...

if i get reactions from being triggered ...yesterday i was triggered pretty bad...i ground myself and practice mindfulness , also telling myself it will pass , not easy but what other choices do you have - keep it simple and do the best you can..i hope things improve for you

Im sorry i dont understand ? from the way i read it , your taking wellbutrin and it may have triggered all this ? if so ...can it happen, absolutely - i simply cannot take meds as this is what happens to me....and waiting for it to kick in ? if i was feeling like this after 4 days id be tossing...
