I thought about exposure but right now....NO WAY! I actually have a bachelors degree in Police Science. I got this degree because of my arrest. I wanted to be certain what my rights were, what protocol was, and how I could protect myself in case of arrest again in the future. Of course, that...

Oh ok, gotcha. I had read the DSM IV definition before. Boy, do I fit a lot of the criteria. I wish I didn't. Some people get off on having a diagnosis and seeing a therapist. After I left mine today, part of me never wants to go back. I've "handled" this for nearly two decades, why can't...

What does a "technical diagnosis" mean for me and my future?

I plan on it. I'm not sure where this will take me, but I'm terrified, scared and have this pit in my stomach. When my shrink asks me what my goal is for therapy, I plan on telling him that all I really want is peace. Silence of my fear, the chronic headaches to go away, the paranoia to...

I'm not even sure that PTSD is my diagnosis. I've only been to therapy once--today actually, and he said his first instinct is that's what I have. Funny, I never imagined myself with a psychiatric "diagnosis" before. It's a lot more scary than I imagined. It's like my crazy is officially...

I think you are already doing the best you can. Don't beat yourself up to much for the things that are beyond your control. I have to remind myself all the time that when it comes to my children, I have to first and foremost take care of thier mother--that's me! That is very hard to do...

Wow. I'm really sorry all this happened to you. As a child and as an adult, you didn't deserve this and I hope you get the help you need to move forward. Some of us have really crazy lives. Sometimes, I don't even believe that mine happened. When you think about it, I bet you feel the same...

Crazy. That's been my journey in life. When I talk about myself, it's almost like my life never happened. The story lines of movies or books, but not my story, or my book. Falsely accused of molesting my 10 year old brother back in 1993, changed my exsistence forever. Arrested, handcuffed...
