I wonder what's happening at her family's house. From what you said she seems to back away when she comes back.

It might be because of insurance issues. Since its not really a "visit" your doc might not be covered by his liability and if anything happened he might get in trouble for it.

Sorry, didn't mean to make anyone feel worse. I was just in a down mood and it kind of spoke to me. With my friend in super isolation mode and me having major depression, it just piled up too much I guess. Just wanted to share my feelings a bit.

I wish I could give up sometimes, make it easier on both of us. I just can't right now. I care too much.

I think it depends on the person. I prefer a woman therapist. I know that my friend with combat ptsd prefers a vet.

I dont have much feedback or advice but, I feel the same way. I hate the way I look and wish i could be put together like my friends, but I also feel completely insecure when I do dress nice. When I wear makeup and dress "normally" I feel like everyone is staring at me because I'm too dressed...

I love fresh, clean sheets. A clean bed just seems to make me feel a bit better. I love the smell and comfort. And watching my cat, she's very relaxing.

Sometimes generics aren't exactly the same as name brand. I would talk to your doctor about it and see if (s)he can talk to the pharmacy/insurance company about making sure they fill it with the name brand.

I'm glad I found this site while looking up about ptsd. It seems to help a bit. So thanks to everyone and I hope that this year is great for you guys as well!

So I went out with friends for dinner tonight and I guess I should be happy I can put on a good face when I'm really just completely broken inside. I was driving to dinner and one friend asked me how I was doing and said that with all I've been through this year, I put off such a positive...

I've tried using tampons and just can't. I was on vacation once at the beach and couldn't get it out, my mom had to come in and pull it out for me. Never again. I felt it the entire time and it was aweful. About the underwear thing. I found years ago boy shorts that look like men's boxer...

That's why when I go to the movies I try to go in the middle of the week a few weeks into the run. There's fewer people.

I can't really remember much of anything. I get bits and pieces, like flashbacks, but have no real, full concrete memories. I've had people ask me if I remember events and I have no clue. They will tell me I said something, but I just don't remember. It's kind of scary sometimes. Like...

Thanks for all the advice. It's just hard because I know that he's struggling around the holidays and the same day that I saw him last was the last day he saw his main, weekly therapist. His therapist moved to another state to get a better va position and he was with him for 5 years and they...

The good does outweigh the bad, I think anyway. Just hearing from him everyday makes me happy and when we see each other things are great. It's just difficult not knowing when I'll see him again and wondering if he really doesn't want to see me or if its just him pushing away for a little so he...

I just want to vent a little. So I met this guy online about 7 months ago and he has combat ptsd. We email back and forth nearly every single day and see each other when he feels ok to do so. It used to be about once a week, then it was once every 2 weeks, then once a month, now it's been...

I agree with waiting on a name until you see it's personality. I was just thinking the other day how calming cats are and how much mine have eased my stress and been there for me. Especially when you're not feeling well and they look at you with their big kitty eyes. I melt haha. Yay for kitties!

I pick at my face, lips, and fingers. Lotion on my hands and Vaseline on my lips helps a little. It's harder to do when there is a barrier of some sort. Try cutting your nails short or perhaps a manicure would work for the biting and pulling of the skin. I know they get the rouge pieces of...

I do it a lot. Sometimes I just have to remind myself to breathe.

Oh sorry, wasn't sure where to put it. Thanks!

So my friend has combat ptsd and he was going to therapy once a week and he has emdr therapy every other week. He has been seeing his main therapist for the past 4 years, but he is moving to another state to get a better va job. I asked my friend if he was gonna try to find another one and he...

How do you know when they want to leave forever or just for a time when they say pretty much the same thing when they are pulling away?
