So, I am well aware of my wife's trauma history (though I keep on finding out new aspects of it each day). She doesn't trust clinicians, so she has never been diagnosed. I am as supportive as I can be, trying to cope wit my own symptoms. Without going into too much detail, some things that...

My wife, who also has many signs of ptsd, and a trauma history, doesn't trust anyone she doesn't know to watch her daughter. She wouldn't even consider respite, which the counseling agency offeres, despite the fact that most of the people she does know are proving to be unreliable. I'm tired...

I recorded an exremely low budget (practically no budget) demo for a solo instrumental guitar project for the holidays. Most people day they like it, but then ask me if I can play something they can sing along to.

As a follow up: this is getting out of hand. I couldn't handle working till 2, and getting up at 6:30, psychiatrically, but I'm having great difficulty finding a job with hours that will allow me to pu my step-daughter on the bus, and allow me to keep my sanity. My wife's parrents still refuse...

I feel ashamed, hopeless, depressed, helpless, unsure about myself and my future, lost.

Quick note: my new insurance that starts in January covers the surgery

I'm on Harvard Pilgrim through NH state healthcare market place. I'm having to switching to a new one through with the new year maybe I'll have more luck with that.

Oh, and my in-laws did help more before we moved in together, but now it's like "She has a new dad, we can completely withdraw support" even though I've never so much as had a younger relitive.

Oh and I do go back to bed after she's off, but for whatever reason I feel guilty sleeping through the day, even if I do work a 10 hour shift subsequently... go figure

In answer to some of the questions in the thread: before I met her she worked evenings, and my in laws would watch her at night (they were on days at the time). So my wife could get her off to school then. As far as before or after school programs: we're working on it, but because of the...

Hi, I've posted on this site from time to time, I never really know the best category for my topics, this one does involve employment (though it involves other things too). I cant seem to find an employment situation that doesn't make me feel guilty or depressed. I have a degree in...

Never diagnosed, refuses therapy. Though has a history of emotional and physical abuse by her dad and x husband.

hello fellow "myptsd" account holders. I had posted a while ago that I thought my then fiance, now wife was emotionally abusive, using mostly guilt to control me. After that things settled down and I thought maybe I had jumped the gun, or was seeing something in my own life just because I had...

There is music going in the kitchen, but I have no control over it. Also I can only move around as much as my job duties let me. Things move pretty fast, and I cant be away from my work station for very long. I'm kind of starting to get comfortable with at least one or two of the people. I'm...

Wasn't quite sure which heading to post this under, but I've had long standing issues with working and I was wondering if anybody had had similar experiences. I'm currently working part time at a restraunt, washing dishes. I have a really strong urge to quit based on anxiety I experience when...

I feel anxious, isolated, dread, useless, also hopeful about a future endevour

It does come and go for me, deffinetly. I guess now I'm still in a position where I'm still just trying to get by from day to day, but some days my outlook is better. Not sure if it's quite the same thing you're talking about, maybe it's similar. But I had a really tight group of friends at...

I cant speak for everyone, but I would guess many people on this site are no strangers to feelings of impending doom, depresonalization, distrust, or other interpersonal anxiety. (I'm fairly new to the site myself). I know this may seem like a go to response, but I have had a lot of luck with...

Hello, As my title might suggest, I feel defeated. I have a masters degree in counseling and music therapy, and a bachelors in music. I only finished the 2nd one because my internship supervisor decided to pass me even though I had to leave for psychiatric reasons before I had enough hours...

Sorry, delayed reply. For the most part i don't think about any one thing in particular. It's mostly intense anxiety attaching itself to pretty much anything I think about. Money, is deffinetly a big one, but I don't think you need an anxiety disorder to be anxious about that. I can think...

Yeah I'll give both a try:)

Hello, I've recently started working part time evenings, and my my mind doesn't do so well when left to it's own devices home all day. I've only been on this site a couple of times now, but I'd love to chat or thread back and forth, or whatever works for people. I'm pretty isolated in general...

Hello, I posted probably a month ago now. I have a bunch of stuff going on related to emotional abuse. Today is my fiance's last day off from work for a while and she wanted to go on a hike. It was also her daughter's first day of school, so she wont get time to herself/ourselves till our...

Oh child care is a whole other story... Anyway thankyou everyone for your support

I just don't know how, at least not in immediate terms. I also haven't mentioned she has an almost 9 year old daughter with low functioning autism, who I'm currently watching till she gets home. I guess I have to take some if only a little planning time.
