Oh but I’d like to add, that I am still needing to close that chapter with the therapist. I will see him soon. Thanks for your reply.

Hello, it has been some time since I have talked to the therapist about this. Last time we talked, I was still trying get passed the guilt. I am passed the guilt finally, and dealing with anger of being treated badly. Now I feel like I am truly at the last stage of letting go of that bad time.

This type of anxiety and hyper vigilance can definitely stem from ptsd. If some one has a bad experience, it is common to perceive threats inaccurately. These words come personal experience. My perception is definitely skewed because of a few bad experiences.

My posts are long too, so it’s ok :) I hope feel better soon with whatever is getting you down.

Hello, I am a 28 year old stay at home mom. I gave birth to my 1st child and I take good care her, but I am struggling with something that I thought would work itself out. When I was 17, I got talked into having sex with my sisters boyfriend, who later became her husband. I trusted him enough to...

... Thanks, maybe I should try that. Also, I had feeling that med started with a "k" lol

Just know, you aren't alone. I feel the same way in public when people look at me and I have also blown up at people, and even what seemed like anger, was actually being overwhelmed and anxiety. Some people won't understand that anxiety does, many times, lead to anger, because of all the...

Hello, I am some who suffers from anxiety, especially after being a new home owner and new mother. The biggest remedy for this anxiety is exercise. I exercise everyday and I'm beginning to feel pain in my joint, especially in my ankles and knees. I'm only 28, but I know I'm overdoing it, because...

i always thought my low self esteem and obsession with my appearance was do to my schoolmates bullying me, but at 27 yrs old, I've finally realized in group, that my mother also played a negative role in how critical she was with my appearance. When I felt ugly, she never told me that I was...

You're absolutely right. I have to accept that I will be judged, but lots of times people's judgement will be highly inaccurate. I can't take everything personally as if it is always truth.

Thanks you guys. Logically, I know it was her dealing with her own demons and wasn't the demon. It just set off a bad reaction in me. The group counselor even explicitly told her, "well, she's not your brother, ok?" I understand any type of anger makes her think of her brother, it was just...

Thanks for empathy and hugs.

You're right about the xanax, I forgot about the rebound anxiety. My doctor has me on klonopin now, which I don't think is any better. Im also on Latuda, but I really wish he put me on Prozac. I don't want to be sedated, I want to get better!

After giving birth, my depression had returned and I am suffering from pmdd(pms times 100) We were talking about explosive outbursts when one may kick or hit things out of anger. I talked my experience, I kick and hit thing I know I will not break and only end up hurting myself, because I get so...

Luckily, I have a lot of support from my family, but them having to constantly help me lately is a great source of guilt and shame. I stay over at my parents house a lot now. It feels like I have practically moved back. I wanted to do it by myself this time. I had only myself to carry before and...

Recently moved into new house, and gave birth to baby girl shortly after. Postpartum depression occurred and obsessed about her dying. Lots of stuff sets me off. I can't watch the news anymore. I have stopped watching most tv. I fear any talk of death that much. Lots of things at house undone...

I think you may be right. My doctors have kind of hinted at OCD, but never really officially diagnosed it. I am on 50 mg of fluvoxamine right now for this issue, but have just started taking it. I am hoping for less of these thoughts and that the medicine is effective.

I worry about them being in car crashes too because they happen all the time. I think I would worry so much about my mom dying, because she is the glue that keeps our family standing. She is strong and was always there for me during the worst parts of mental illness. I feel like this is why you...

Hello, I am extremely fearful of losing my loved ones to the point of obsession. Thoughts of their death pop up constantly and with great detail that it drives me to tears. When I was a child I used to cry many nights, because I was scared my mother might die somehow. When I married my husband...

Thanks She Cat. I definitely like to do nice things for them. I cook and help with the chores, now that I am okay now, when they are down I can actually help them now. There is not a day that goes by that I am not grateful. I apologize if the post may have come off as privileged sounding to...

You are right. I guess I kind of get stuck in the past a lot. I know they are not hurting anymore but I guess I mourn for their past selves? Ugh, I'm sorry I know that doesn't make much sense. We have all gotten over that part, I just need to leave all that in the past. Thanks for your reply :)

I used to suffer from a myriad of mental disorders which included bipolar disorder, major depression, and an eating disorder. I struggled with these for years from about 16-25 all the while under the care of my mother. I am 27 now and have stabilized. I am weened of all my medications for almost...

Thanks everyone. You guys are right. I am eating well and my baby and are healthy so far and I do intend to keep it that way. I just wish that at his age he would have the maturity and insight to not be so critical of people's weight.

When I was around 16, I noticed that a lot of my classmates were becoming more concerned about weight loss. I had never been very self conscious about my weight, so I asked my mom if I was someone who needed to lose weight. She answered no, because I was at a normal and healthy weight. She asked...

Yes definitely good points. My offenses up until that point were so small and then out of nowhere I do THAT and now I am a adulterer. I thought I would NEVER do anything like that in my whole life. It really did go against my core values and that's why it shook me up so badly. I cannot tell you...
