    My First Tattoo

    I'm extremely terrified of needles and doctors to the point of being on the verge of passing out. I refuse to get shots unless they are necessary and never get blood work and had no problem with the tattoo needles. Maybe because they are encased and not giant and long? Good luck! Can't wait...

    I Can't Get My Period. Anyone Else?

    I take a seasonal birth control to get mine. I would go months without getting it and even when i wasn't having sex I would panic thinking I was pregnant. I agree with others, it could be stress, it could be weight, etc

    Please Wait In The Living Room?

    I'm a supporter, but I totally would have freaked out too. I wouldn't feel comfortable seeing her and her family's life out in the open. I understand the cost saving option of having a home office, but I would hope that she would find a way to keep life and clients separate. Working in the...

    What Do I Tell My "old" T? Or Do I Tell Her?

    If you end up liking the new guy I would at least call the office of the woman t and tell them you found another therapist. That way she won't wonder if something bad happened to you.

    Boyfriend's Work Christmas Party

    Could you take 2 cars or some kind of seperate transportation so if you need to leave you can and he can stay? You can always tell people you had a second obligation so know one knows anything personal. Most people do have multiple parties that time of year.

    Started Dating Again -- When And How Do I Share That I Have Ptsd?

    As a supporter I say sooner rather than later if you want to continue seeing each other. It helps to understand that when things happen it's not our fault. It was confusing at first when I didn't know. I didn't understand why he was acting the way he did. When he said he has ptsd things...

    Isolation

    I think a little over a week without email when he's working on writing or editing. Usually we email back and forth pretty much everyday, except weekends for some reason haha. We've gone 6 months without seeing each other before, which really sucks.

    Relationship Big Step

    I went to see S the other night for movie night. It had been about 3 months since the last time we hung out together. At one point he hugged me and said he loved me just the way I am. I think that was a huge step for him. He has major trust issues about relationships and this was the first...

    Talking To... Pictures Of People

    I talk to my dead relatives whenever I see the light coming through the clouds in a certain way. Obviously you know they aren't really there so I don't think it's a problem. If you really want to stop, perhaps putting one or two pics in a box and gradually add more to the box as you feel...

    Has Anyone Found A Way To Not Feel Anxiety, Rather Than Just Manage Anxiety?

    Oh sorry. Hmm. Good question haha. Just over time some things that used to make me super anxious aren't as bad anymore, but it's taken a few years. So I do think over time anxiety might get better with repeated exposure.

    Has Anyone Found A Way To Not Feel Anxiety, Rather Than Just Manage Anxiety?

    Remembering to breathe and taking deep breaths and trying to relax my shoulders, I carry stress in my shoulders. It helps a bit and can be done anywhere. Try and clear your head while you breathe.

    Relationship How Did You Make The Call To Get A Divorce?

    At the time I didn't know my ex had ptsd, he didn't get diagnosed until after we divorced. But one morning I just flipped out on him after he jokingly flopped his arm on my face while we were just waking up. We had differences about having kids and financial issues as well so it was a daily...

    Relationship How Often Does S/he Break Up With You?

    We aren't technically in a relationship, but mine has said several times that he doesn't think it's a good idea for us to see each other anymore and then in a few days things are fine. He hasn't said it in a while though. It used to be about every month at the end of the month. I used to...

    Seeing Therapist 3x A Week?

    I would just explain that you are going through a rough time right now and ask for an extra day. I say if you need it, go for it. Or maybe ask for longer sessions?
