SIDENOTE RESPONSE: What if the sufferer wants to be with them so badly, even after numerous fights and break up threats from sufferer and supporter. Even if the sufferer needs to sort it out themselves, isn't being alone and separated even more so from the world harmful? Especially if a...

It's been a very exhausting day after a long night last night. I met with my therapist this afternoon and spoke to her about this. It seems pretty clear that they have no idea how trauma works and that coming to terms and getting over it isn't an option. T says that I felt calm after ending the...

I just confronted my parents about my childhood experience that could explain my ptsd. It took some prying on their part since they know nothing of my life over the past three years other than I am with a man that has two kids from a previous relationship. Mom knew there was something going on...

Do you know the name of the site for the stress reduction courses?

I've read about and watched lectures on the causes and how fight flight kicks into overdrive after triggers are present. I have the knowledge but not the skills. What are some techniques you use to overcome the feelings of anxiety and lashing out at others when you are triggered? When i do I...

Yes and that draw undermines anything I'm trying to say or think. I should have something to say. Some sort of response but then comes nothing. I've noticed this my partner has also but until I confessed to my therapist I was doing it that it became so obvious. It's my defense as much as I hate...

I want to make things right. They were for about a year with all four of us but now I can't think straight without a warped reality. Being a step mother is very difficult on its own. Recently I've learned that the very thing I want the most, a family, is also the very thing that is causing my...

I have finally pushed my partner to his limits. His children would come over I stay with us a couple days a week. It was half the time because I pushed him to have the kids 50 50. Since that time I have grown bitter of his ex wife and his ex mother in law. I greatly dislike them. This has and...

It's important to keep a look out for yourself and stay away from triggers or people that cause you pain. But what if they don't know they caused you pain? My parents were alcoholics and angry drunks when one started yelling they woul go at it. About what I can't remember but I don't think it...

I understand that disassociation is the brains way to keep trauma at bay. I also feel many motions at once and so many of those contradict each other. I love you I hate you I want to go out oh god I can't imagine being around others. I feel so many at once and I can't always pin point what they...

Thank you all for the warm greetings. Currently I do have a second appointment set up to see my therapist again next month. Other than my partner I don't have anyone else that knows or that I want to know about my partner moving out and my diagnosis of PTSD. I have a tendency to push people...

I recently went to see a therapist for the first time. It was hard. I feel intense social anxiety and talking about my feelings and life make it even harder. She said I may have PTSD based on my behavior emotional state and childhood past of alcoholic parents. My partner of 4 years has...
