I would think some good journal entries to have would include what you think and feel during the times you self harm. There's a lot of different reasons people do it so identifying the unique thoughts and feelings tied to yours would be important. Maybe also because of the nature of what you...

Considering you got gas all over your self not exploding making it a good day is a pretty literal statement ;)

I saw a thread about sunsets and thought "hey it's a full moon where are those pics" So show me your full moon! (I realize someone may now post a pic of their butt so if that's you just be sure you're ok with everyone seeing it ;) This is mine ^_^ my husband took it tonight from our house...

4-6 hrs of work depending on what sets off your symptoms can be an eternity. Even before I was fully diagnosed just in therapy because something wasn't right anymore I couldn't get my therapist to clear me for a job dealing with the general public (I had been self employed for five yrs at that...

Thank you all for sharing! Oddly other than child abuse or child murder news I can handle the worst of the news no problem and not handling child related stories has always been a problem I love children even ones not mine by blood and struggled to have the now two bio ones I do. (Trust me if I...

@KwanYingirl That's fascinating if you find a link to the study would you share it?

I don't watch the news I frankly haven't since childhood I found it depressing and biased then. I read on current events often and I can see how those upset even normal people let alone any one dealing with surviving those kinda of events. My question is on TV shows or even tumblr Twitter...

I know in my experience sleep disruptions throw every thing off and seem to make for more panic attacks. Have you talked about sleep meds with any of your Drs? For some people it's absolutely needed I've been told. I would caution against it if you live alone but as long as there's someone else...

My battle with keeping it on the light side is I was actually attacked by a crooked member of law enforcement to teach me a lesson, it screwed up my hand. It's 2014 and I can't use a computer for more than a few minutes at a time. I touch type on a phone or tablet but my degree in graphics is a...

Thank you I started on my path that landed me here today this week when my wonderful Monday was set off by a strong enough trigger to cause a full flashback (they are rare I know but it's not the first time first time was anniversary of the trauma and I woke up screaming and daughter help that...

I remember how I was and I keep wanting to be that person again. Not the person who crumbles over being on hold on the phone ( yeah it's a weird trigger but it makes a lot of sense when you know why), or being afraid to leave the house. Mostly I just hate the fear and the rage. There's a...

I do that I blow off steam by hitting something but when it's you vs wall you tend to look worse than you intended >_< - when you look forward to an apocalypse and have a plan for it but forgot your phone in the car with your grocery list and are about to melt down right then and there so...

Did you know all the major comic publishers have all current and a lot of past comics available on tablets and smart phones through apps? The cost is decent on old stuff a buck or two most issues and the ones I use all offer packages of arcs or graphic novels compilations usually a bit cheaper...

Alan Moore is godly him, Neil Gaiman and Tim Seeley are my favorite comic authors though the last one is a personal friend so I admit bias there ;) I've been a marvel, and DC's old offshoot vertigo comics junkie as long as I can remember. I got into Manga my freshman yr of high school and Heavy...

Many places have help just for women who've been through what you have. I would call a woman's shelter hotline they are anonymous and can point you to services in your area. Even if it's just a support group for survivors of sexual assault and abuse it's still a start and people with experience...

I always took life's ups and downs in stride. I didn't have a great childhood and once as an adult had a social worker look at files from it and ask me "how hard was it", I wasn't sure what she ment because honestly I had no basis for comparison. We were poor my selfish self absorbed lazy mother...

I'm afraid all of the time too, my PTSD comes from an unlawful assault and imprisonment by an officer. So the people who are supposed to protect us make me go into a blind terror rage. Since that trauma which caused it all I've had my ex husbands mistress suggest killing me and how, a garage...

I am really horrible at grounding and I probably always was so that's not really a new thing. Just being someplace quiet helps a lot since probably half of my triggers are sound related. Now finding anyplace quiet in a household of six on a busy street in an ok but could be a hell of a lot...

I know the feelings you're talking about, youre not the only person to carve through life not letting the bad in it destroy you and get side swiped by something that makes everything come crashing down. I was in the process of divorcing a husband of ten yrs almost for his infidelity when my...

I think This is the first forum I've ever joined or posted on. I'm not really sure what to say, I was diagnosed last fall while pregnant but the incident was 3 1/2 yrs ago. I feel very awkward even here talking about PTSD because I wasn't injured in military service and despite my gender it has...
