@Lidia : Yes, eventually I was able to trust that he wouldn't treat me like my abusers but it took years not weeks or months. It was very, very, hard for a long time.

I did a lot of on again off again with my now husband early in our relationship. I loved him but I was distrustful and feared being vulnerable. I have no idea if this is what's going on with him . Ask him. See if he will enter therapy with you. This may be a pattern and you will have to decide...

Yeah it's happened to me. I've heard a child's voice also. I'm bipolar so I'm uncertain if this was a hallucination in my case. I can call up a vision of myself right now but she imedietly heads for the closet I used to hide in. Sorry to hijack your thread but it's actually disturbing and scary

Trying to avoid violating hiipa (sp)laws perhaps if your in the states. Dr will have been trained if that's it and know how to be discreet.

Forgot to add to make sure this dog has zero food aggression issues it's expensive to untrained and believe me it takes one kid with a I scream cone or snack to make a food aggressive dog bite. Kids come into public access area all the time with food and the dog has to be 100 percent reliable...

I trained my own service dog here's what I wished I would have done. Hired a behaviorist to evaluate for me as they are unbiased. Also being a shepherd this dogs hips need a ofa clearance as well as the parents. I'm a dog groomer and can tell you how sad it is to see a stunning shepherd needing...

I am profoundly sorry for your loss. Might there be a grief support group for pets you can attend? They have them in the u.s. I've gone and they were beneficial.

I've been married for 24 yrs and I'm the ptsd sufferer. I've said some thing similiar to my spouse. It was depression talking. I strongly reccomend you going to therapy alone if needed. Let him know why and that you hope he joins you. As far as the possibly not wanting kids well I have to say...

Well two comments from me; first if you are able to I would see my reg dr and be checked for Athsma(sp) if it's purely anxiety as I do something similiar I hold my breath. I trained my service dog to alert me and was shocked how often I do it. I would try doing some breathing exercises when you...

I agree with solara. I understand your mistrust as I feel the same way and my mom can barely retrieve her own emails. Yet it still crosses my mind. It also occurs to me that my ab users are so narcisstic that it probably would never occur to them to check up on me. They are Too into their own...

I've had these thoughts myself. I'm going this week to sign up to volunteer with seniors . I needed to be needed and desperately needed to meet new people. I'm also working with my therapist on my personal mission statement to clarify where do I go from here. I'm starting early with empty nest...

This I realize is a quirky response but I would have gone to the dollar store and bought ten $ in pens and left them with her. Yeah I'm immature.

I just wanted to let you know that given the fact you thought she just had a sore throat.... Her death was not your fault. I'm going to say this again... It was not your fault. I'm saying this in case there's a small voice in your head playing the " what if" game. I can tell you from my...

All I can say is I had a therapist for 6 yrs who suddenly left his wife and announced he had a girlfriend and was moving in a month. I was floored. It ended up it was such a blessing!! I now have a great therapist who is professional and is caring. I never knew I could get good care. Try to stay...

I'm bipolar and I know how hard it is to sleep when manic. Glad your doc gave you something to relax. Did he change your mood stabilizer?? To prevent crashing I just make sure I commit to walking thirty min a day. But not excessively so I don't rev back up. I walk mindfully concentrating on each...

I hope you are careful with the klonopin. I had horrible withdrawal from it. But that's me. I foolishly stopped without tapering.

Glad to hear it. I'm going through a family member wanting me to part with a very loud parrot and I know how destabilizing that can be! My birds are staying as I'm taking my own advise.

Hello, bipolar , ptsd . Possibly borderline as well. I usually have my bipolar meds adjusted if I'm too angry as it's my hallmark mixed episode symptom. Everyone's different of course. Just something to think about .

I have a self trained service dog. I highly reccomend you teach a quiet command utilizing operant conditioning with a behavioral marker. Fancy way of saying clicker training. Your new service dog would be tempted to pick up a barking habit if this isn't addressed now. A big no no if in the...

This is so very common that my trauma therapist has his furniture carefully arranged so the patients chair faces the door . According to him most of his clients prefer this. I know I always know my exits', I'm always facing them if seated. And I try to never sit in a area I can't easily escape...

I just had a epiphany as to why I'm so sound sensitive. It's because I'm constantly "checking" to make sure there aren't any noises that signal danger. I get panic stricken when the radio or tv is on too loud.i never put it together till just now!

I text my insomniac sister who is very naive and make out like some urban legend is happening to me. For instance the one where the creepy black eyed kids knock on your door and try to get you to invite them in. I text these elaborate lies to see if I can fool her. Sometimes I forget to tell her...

The human brain/ mind is IMO the last frontier in medicine. So much is being discovered one cannot say there is no hope of recovery for even chronic ptsd. Is this depression I'm hearing in the post? If so there's lots of help for that right now! So yes I emphatically believe there is much to...

It can get easier the more familiar your job becomes. You might want to clue your therapist in on what your thinking. They've heard it before and a good therapist will give you techniques to help with your anxiety and hyper vigilance. . Mine taught me grounding techniques which has been a lifesaver.

Nice to meet you. Your sister and my sister should go out for lunch! How horrible to say that. I wonder would you benefit from a service dog so you could get out and feel safe? I had one he helped me a lot.
