Was so numb for days, but today I am not. And it hurts, the good kind of pain. The one that gets you thinking, moving and dreaming for a different, better life. I know what got me out of lethargy. I always wanted to write, but I do not. I wish I could wholeheartedly claim that I cannot write...

Hello I hope you find what you need here! Your issues are pretty standard PTSD stuff, which is good, because that means help is available and you are neither crazy nor insane, but ill. :) I am gay, and people have a hard time believing because I look like a stereotypical guy :P funny world...

Hey So last week I discovered the concept of Soylent. An all in one nutrional meal, which is supposed to be cheap and affordable, and that you could basically live exclusively on. It is designed to give you everything you need, like the slime from the matrix. :D But not disgusting. There are...

Forgot to answer @Chava question: Yes, she was supposed to diagnoise me.

@Chava @owl1982 @Anrish @gizmo Thank you all for your kind replies! Thanks for the support guys. Much appreciated. Since that visit I am not doing so great. The nightmares are much worse then before and I feel hopeless, panicky and fatigued. Let my excercise go and feel like I am stuck in a...

Well, that was worse then I have imagined. And I was scared shitless of today. I have not had a single positive experience with medical professionals in my life *, so I was delaying getting professional help as long as possible. Today was my first meeting with a someone. It was for an...

30 minute interval cardio on hometrainer. Feel good now. Also: Today 6 month smoking free from a pack a day. Praise progress! :D :D :D

Finally managed a one hour workout again! Still dont feel too good, so I tried to not push myself to hard. Hope I am back on track now. For a moment I was sad about having to go easy, but then I saw how childish that is. Tomorrow a bit cardio, I hope :D

Still not feeling better. Extreme fatigue and muscle weakness is not a good foundation for a workout. :hungover: Luckily this is not my first rodeo on the thyroid ride. I feel I handle it much better then before. The first few times i crashed in hypothyroid state were much more scary. Only did...

@HighGeniusLowLoser Yeah, I can sympathize entirely. Was in a similar spot not too many months ago. First I need to say that your thinking about medication is distorted. One bad experience does not mean every other will be bad. Also: Very often medication is just used for a while, to get to a...

Still to sore for weightlifting. :( Screw you thyroid. :mad: Did 30 min intervall cardio on hometrainer instead. :tup:

Hello. I am sorry, I read your text twice but I am not really understanding the issue. I think it is problematic to give more weight to what your sister said he said, then what you directly see him doing. You see: The pot is gone. He aplogized, profusely even. He is avoiding any conflict...

So, couldnt do my workout today. I feel totally and utterly in the gutter because adjustment of my thyroid medication. The lack of energy, focus and, well, everything is hard to put into words. But tonight I felt a burst of energy and used that to do 30 min intervall cardio. Proud of that...

@Lionheart777 About 4 years ago I went to the shop to buy some stuff. Havent left the house for months at that time. When I arriverd there, after a 500-700m walk, I had cramps in the whole body, was out of breath, heart racing and basically felt like dying. I was 24. I knew then that things had...

That is just f*cking disgusting. @Md20 You most likely suffer from depression and anxiety, not PTSD. There is help for that. There is no need to validate your problems with the stamp "PTSD" when depression and anxiety ruined many people lives all by itself. These are severe issues. My...

Whats the point of going to therapy when you lie to your therapist? There are healthier ways to create boundaries.

@Jo Jo Thats a nice sentiment but it is decidedly not what OP was saying. Op was saying that he believes he worked his ass off and that he believes he feels better because of that, so everyone that is not feeling better, everyday and all the time, is a lazy, whiny crybaby and should be ashamed...

So, today I was bored. I am not usually a victim of boredom, but today it got to me. I decided to do something productive and did some cardio! 25 minutes of high intensity intervall training on the hometrainer. Want to do that 2 days a week now. That means I have one day a week without any...

My usual dumbbell and bodyweight excercises. Took a few minute longer, but thats okay. Had something between a mild and moderate hangover, but now feel amazing again. Now I get my 2 days of rest and continue training wednesday. Still trying to get my lazy butt to do some yoga or cardio on days...

One hour workout. Was good today, focused and good form. Feel amazing now. Just one more and another week done. How time flies since I started this. What excercise did to my mental health is nothing short of miracleous. My partner is also doing much more sports. Me, being a good influence...

Hey Just a thought that came to me, and am curious what people think. Nowadays we think of PTSD as an mental injury or illness but could it be, that it once served the purpose of changing people into better surviving extremely harsh conditions? The hypervigilance, the increased...

I disagree with @owl1982, but that is the problem with these kind of threads. In the end, we have so very little information that one has to go with the gut feeling. Otherwise one could only ever say "Sorry, not enough information to give meaningful input."

Honestly, this thread gives me the feelings. :inlove: It seems you two truly care for each other, and its sweet. My advice would be to give him some time. He needs to accept what has happened. It is obvious from what you wrote that he cares for you, and you for him. He needs to learn that he...

Feel very good. Did my whole workout in 65 minutes. Disciplined and in good form. Phew :dead: I have led a very, very sedantary life. I mean, it is not possible to have moved less then what I did for years on end, besides being dead or in a coma. That I now managed to stick to a workout routine...

I guess he feels ashamed and destroyed; damaged, by having PTSD. I can be a very, very shameful thing at first, to be confronted with this. From what you wrote it seems he feels like he does not deserve you? When I am down in the emotional gutter I often ask myself, if my partner would not...
