whatever ...i was blunt but i dont think it was an attack

its obvious your a compassionate person and maybe the lack of despair you felt for your birth mother is coming out another way, who really knows. But its not disrespectful to forget , its sad to witness the death of a stranger but at the same time it may be a pointer to some things that arent...

are you seriously trying to help this person because it seems to me you apologize for unloading on her and then continue on, she is asking for advice and possibly support and im sorry for being so blunt , but id feel 10 times worse after being confronted with this. This is simply piggy backing...

i think that says it all, in our quest to understand and get better , we do tend to analyze everything which in many cases is entirely natural , however at times we also use logic to analyze our experiences and in doing so can miss some very important points - remember there is no logic as to...

As you stated you have started your own company and am making a small income, do you know how difficult this is to achieve , even for a non ptsd person. You ought to commend yourself and stop beating yourself up. As for whats happened with the Vocational rehab , i would consult an attorney or a...

i had been through similar experiences , i had never seen what love truly is and felt it was a foreign concept that belonged elsewhere. Luckily through my life i was able to challenge myself and develop true friendships that involved a form of love , relationships hmmm well i feel love and know...

why....it could be a good thing , she obviously feels it is of no benefit to you , and just think ....no feeling crap whilst you adjust to a new med , no feeling like crap when you stop it - I was given a plethroa of anti depressants a few years back and not one helped me, they all made me worse...

you are still you , it is a label and yes a very painful one - it takes some of us a while to accept our true situation. But there is no running from the truth and the more you deal with your issues the less important it becomes. I was not given that label until i was 48 yrs old , i have lived a...

The mental health system has many safeguards and what not to protect you and your rights , you need to be aware of them. I was put in a phsyc hospital many years ago to deal with my drug addiction, i had been clean for a few years and relapsed due to the stress of being an alcohol and drug...

i would definitely bring it up , it sounds like your hitting some tough issues and this may be the result of that , but either way , you state you trust your T and not addressing it would be like constantly sitting on a nail. Do yourself a favor and address it before it gains a life of its own

i tend to agree with Solara on this, i do research things but at the same time , i stay very focused on whats important. Researching to me takes two streams , i research the things i enjoy like art , and technology. The other stream is my health and im very careful when doing research as you can...

i would say one simple word....relax , you are under stress from starting a new job which is recognized as being a major stressor , i can relate to how your feeling, when i go under enormous stress , the first things that come to mind are always my traumas or unresolved situations from them...

it makes the world of difference when your drs are behind you

welcome back Luminous , i see you've activated the protect the site police, i hear what your saying and can only say , the best thing you can do is see a therapist or psychiatrist, when you havent been diagnosed , you really do have no point to start from, it becomes a game of maybe. Many people...

that makes sense , in fact when i was in Sheppard Pratt they contacted my pain dr and told her under no circumstances was my pain to be under medicated and every step must be taken to ensure i dont slip into serious pain as it triggers a series decent into full blown ptsd symptoms

Im not an expert either , but what i would do is search out a civilian therapist for answers , it could be anything and asking a question like you have will result in a myriad of responses , which im sure will leave you even more concerned or confused. Just search someone out , explain your...

there is no healing involved when you have to use a drug to deal with your issues, you have set up a very negative way of getting information and i can almost assure you that not only have you ensured the relationship remains sick , but you have also opened a gate that you will not be able to...

if a grown man cannot make a clear and responsible decision , then its best you move on , indecision only leads to uncertainty and conflict

i always find the chemical imbalance theory interesting, its been a theory for decades now , but not once has anyone been able to identify the so called chemicals an how they are imbalanced. Its similar to the disease theory of addiction

im a bit of a hardened cynic , and tend to believe that if all the problems described were eradicated , then we would probably find issues with happiness and have a whole range of other problems. if the sun shone all the time it would create a desert , and if you was safe and happy all the time...

i think what people dont realise, is that feel good drugs like mdma , work in reverse after a while , sure its amazing the first couple of times , but eventually its not so amazing anymore and your left with the paranoia , and a host of other paranoid reactions

why would you even want to talk to the guy is beyond me, the hardest part about fronting a perpetrator is they will 99% of the time deny everything, its not worth the pain and frustration it can bring, i would suggest if your looking for closure , that you look within and only concentrate on...

yes i do it all the time, i get upset and feel a great need to talk to someone , to express it , its clear in my head , but then when i start try to share it, i find i either devalue it or just not really get into it. Its like i want to talk about but then when fronted with a willing ear , i...

no offense but 2 reasonable donations and a premium membership , i think i will wait it out till the next round and hopefully those many that dont donate can use the opportunity to show their appreciation
