Got it. And thank you for such a helpful question! Percocet 10 mg 5x daily (just switched from oxycodone 15 mg 4x daily) Klonopin 2 mg 3x daily (just lowered from 4x daily) That’s all really in the “opioid” area. I am taking Prilosec and a much of vitamins but that’s it. So what do u think? I...

Ok... but why?

Hey fellow travelers, I’ve recently started seeing a new psychiatrist who is so far phenomenal, the beat I’ve ever been to and I feel very lucky. He has suggested that I electively enter Cornell hospital psych ward in order to get all my mental and physical “Stuff“ sorted out. He thinks I’m on...

Great idea!!! Thank you sooo much!! And FYI, I love Australia. Half my family lives there... no wonder ur so kind ??

Thank you!! Ouch, I don’t like that. I have agoraphobia so not being able to go outside, forget smoking, sounds like a nightmare. But thanks for telling me, I’ll be asking my pdoc about that ??

W.O.W! That is fascinating and makes perfect sense. You explained it so well, thank you thank you thank you! I’m definitely going to bring a notebook with questions... The way you make it sound actually gets me almost excited to do it already. One thing that’s been bothering me is that I’ve...

Thanks!... definitely not the answer I was looking for but helpful ??‍♀️. Were you allowed to go outside?

Thanks!! Seems small but another small load off my head so ?? Not sure I understand the question. You mean with the psychiatrist? I have an appointment in a few days , yes... if that’s what you meant. I just wanted to thank you so very much for your EXTREMELY in-depth reply. It was sooo...

This may sound silly but I’m a smoker. What’s the situation with that? Am I allowed to? Am I allowed outside?? Can I bring them in with me? Actually, can I bring ANYTHING in with me? Like do I wear my own clothes or is it hospital gowns? God I want this over with already... too scary

Wow, thanks for all of that!!! Quick question: you said, “4–6 weeks would be too long, because of the post-discharge issues that come up from longer admissions.” Can you explain please? Specifically post-discharge issues? I’m not sure. I think soon, like in 2 maybe 3 weeks? I don’t know and...

I had a hard day yesterday. I saw a new psychiatrist and he seems to be fantastic. I am very lucky bc he’s a fortune but happens to take take my cheap insurance. I didn’t sleep at all the night before and spent 6 hours in his office. A lot of information was given to me and he provided me with...

Thank you! Your reply was honest and kind and compassionate. I’m so sorry for your beliefs in yourself but it sounds like your on the path to rectifying that so I’m happy for that :) Wow, you are brave. Thank you so much for sharing with me... it means so much. Like you said, you wonder how...

Right?! Exactly my thoughts! Thank you ?? Thank you for saying that. Hopefully one day I’ll believe that Well, it wasn’t just a child. It was my nephew who I love so much and would never want to hurt. It’s like something took over me. Re the T: it’s funny you should ask bc I can’t for the...

Since I was a small child I’ve felt this way. As though I can, at any moment, hurt someone. This is coming from a child who from the moment I learned how to walk, would carefully walk around birds so as not to scare them. I was always super sensitive so to have these “impulses” just never...

Hi all, I haven’t been on here for a looong time. I moved temporarily to NY and it’s not been fun. Where I originally lived I was prescribed opioids (for multiple herniated discs & arthritis) as well as benzodiazepines for my GAD. When I came to New York I didn’t have a T or P but I do have a...

Just read them. Very interesting. With regard to the trauma one, the article worked off of a controlled setting so it seems there may be a connection. Or maybe not :) I definitely agree with the stress related one. I’ve personally experienced it where when placed in high stress situations, all...

Thank you! I will look into these ?

Can you expand on this? What kind of puberty problems? What are they making into a problem now?

Thank you so much ☺️ I hope it gets easier for you On “Dr. Google” I’ve seen people say there may be a connection. But when I asked this doc he said no. Funny thing though, your story and mine are so similar. I’ve had multiple ones. Anddd, even had surgery to remove one but they just came...

About 10-15 minutes for the talking part and 5 for the exam and “rest of questions” which didn’t happen ? Thanks ☺️. I was wondering that myself. Will have to ask. Thanks for the reminder I agree. I know it’s my head that’s screwed up, not his. I suppose I really just wanted confirmation...

Thanks :) From hearing the whole story, I’m asking if anything struck you as wrong/insensitive or whether it was all just me being hypersensitive. Does that make sense? I’ve already decided that I’m not going back to him because for the past 3 hours I’m dealing with a major panic attack...

I know this is probably a stupid question to ask on here of all places but I guess I’m just looking for validation or something in that area ??‍♀️. So here goes... Does anyone else have problems with going to the obgyn? I had to go... pushes it off for far too long. Had an appointment last week...

Thank you so much for your words of encouragement. I’m so happy YOU have found someone who makes you happy ?. Just on a side note: do you think when both people in the couple have ptsd, that makes it harder because then there’s double trouble? Easier because you understand each other? I agree...

What does this mean please?

Thank you so much! It’s amazing how a slight tweak in wording can make such a difference! In fact, I like it so much it would use that verbatim except I can’t see myself saying “I’m on disability “ to someone I don’t know. Being on disability is one of my biggest secrets at the moment ? I...
