I believe you have grounds to break the lease. If you have a restraining order on a neighbor, it is not safe for you to be there. Go to the self help department of your court. Was there someone who helped you get the restraining order? Talk to that person. The landlord is not providing a...

Thank you. That doesn't quite tell me what I am looking for. Just the word diary is traumatic for me as I found husband's journal from his college days after he died. The things he did in college were horrible. Had I seen that before marriage, I never would have married him. How private...

I am curious. I had traumatic childhood, mostly buried until therapy 30 years ago. Moved on. Got a job, had good life. Then car accident caused ptsd, which was misdiagnosed. Again moved on. Then more trauma and life as I knew it pretty much taken away, legal abuse syndrome causing ptsd...

Well put. I would add I do not see any commonalities in areas that matter. Like the same car? Like the same race car driver? That is not a basis for a relationship imho. OTH, I have sworn off men and not had a date in about 10 years. Very happy to keep it this way. So my opinion may not...

I developed tinnitus a year and a half ago after a student grabbed me, jerked me around, pushed me on the ground, pulled on my hair the entire time. I have been told there is no test and no treatment. Then I read there is. But I can't find a place to give me an appointment and find out if I...

Think about the Bill Cosby situation. When women first came forward, nobody believed them. But as more women came forward, it was too much to ignore. If more women reported, there would emerge patterns of complaints against the same people. There may be others and your report added to theirs...

I have had people tell me I HAVE to trust them because I have such issues with trust and they are the person to help me and it starts with trusting that person. And then that person harms me in a horrible way, taking advantage of my trust. So now my rule of thumb is if someone demands trust...

What is a trauma diary on the forum? I don't think I will ever be able to do anything like that. After my husband died, I found an old journal of his from when he was in college and the things in there were so traumatic for me I can't bear the words diary and journal and such. But I am...

Have you talked with an SS Disability attorney? Someone like that may be able to advise you on whether you would qualify. I had a panic attack in class, mild, and did not know what was happening. I had been diagnosed with apd and was in another car accident shortly before this, so blamed it...

I did not think it was possible to find a man willing to have a relationship with a female with no sex. Unless he is gay. I don't think I will ever want an intimate relationship again. Maybe I would be less fearful of men if I could find a man who is safe and have a friendship with no sex. I...

It had a strong effect on me. Yesterday I saw an online video of the man who was shot by police and the jury let the police off. Then I saw an online story about this woman. So far, I was coping and not really registering. Then I went to a store and the manager harassed me about my service...

I have a long standing issue and need help. I went to a doctor after a car accident. I had signs of ptst, also pseudo bulbar affect, and auditory processing disorder. I knew nothing about these conditions. My doctor just insisted I needed ssri's (anti-depressants). She screamed at me, one...

I also have problems with mail. I understand this is a common symptom for people with legal abuse syndrome as the underlying cause of ptsd. I have had problems with phones since car accident in 1999, which is what started all the problems. I am much happier at home doing quiet things like...

I strongly disagree with you on the antidepressants and addiction. It is a matter of terminology and the drug companies don't want the drugs to be considered addictive, but they are. That is why it is so important to taper off them. Quitting all of a sudden can cause a lot of problems. They...

Do you have a support system, people who care about you and will help you? do you have a plan and resources? The first step is planning to be successful. If you have financial ability, it is much easier. When I got married, my uncle gave me $100 "in case I needed to get away". I had...

I don't know anything about your condition. If it is pain management you are seeking there are some things that help. First, take your mind off it. I know it is hard, but you need to find something else to occupy your mind. Take up a hobby, read, watch a movie. Try ice packs and heat...

Check out this website for some information on how to treat/prevent osteoporosis: (put in browser, can't post with web addy, apparently) OK. So, can't post links. Go to the website for the physicians committee on (for?) responsible medicine. They have info on osteoporosis. I have been...

Thanks!

We do have a lot in common. It was a path/journey for me. Started eating less meat without realizing, then made conscious decision to be vegetarian for health reasons. My arthritis went away at that time. Then gave up dairy for animals. About a month into this, my allergies disappeared. So...

Yay you!!! I am also whole food plant based (vegan). I think that is why I have been able to survive as I have with so much good health. I use coconut oil as facial moisturizer. Will have to try it on other parts of body as rub down. Also use it for cuts, scrapes, etc. Amazing stuff...

Yes. When I was dating my husband, my first boyfriend, he told me "I love you" far too soon and I was very uncomfortable. He was very controlling and I was too young to understand. No one listened when I voiced concerns about the age difference (he was 10 years older than me). He knew he was...

Congratulations on being med-free. After I was abused by docs and T, and learned was given bad drug with no info on side effects, I did much more research. ALL drugs have side effects. Not everyone experiences them. I did not want to gamble again. I trained myself not to take anything for...

I have always had a high need for safety/security. I do not like reckless activities, never have. I don't like sports. I like to be home and safe, doing quiet things like reading, gardening, cooking, sewing, crochet, etc. Noise is a problem for me. But after car accident in 2012, I was no...

I don't know how I do it. But I somehow push back and lock up bad memories for short times to be able to do what I have to do. But the ability to do that is getting less and less. Too many things to be locked up. Things that are very painful. I probably learned to do this as a child. Grew...

I chose years ago to stop going to all docs. My health has actually improved. Docs have traumatized me. I was witness to many people dying from bad medicine. I almost died from a different med and could have died from what killed my husband. His doc never suggested any precautions to...
