    In my own experience you can only 'guide' your body, but not stop it right now. Your mind and body with come out out anxiety attack eventually (Like a bad flu). These tips have helped me to get out of a mental hole I digged myself 1. If possible, take a break from a stressful situation (even...

    Anger/ rage/ hatred/ resentment as part of PTSD symptoms

    I hate crowded places especially after covid epidemic. I do most of my shopping online and I prefer to go to stores outside the rush hour. I can be in the crowd (like a fair or Sunday market) but if the people feel stressed or pissed it makes me anxious. Also the window side seat in an...

    Anger/ rage/ hatred/ resentment as part of PTSD symptoms

    For me it helps a break if I notice that I have feelings including anger, resentment or bitterness. It's frustrating for me how our culture teachess that particularly women should not feel anger or resentment. It encourages denying these feelings, which makes them worse and don't let us...

    Landlord trigger

    I doubt any former landlord has the energy to start tracking people after they have left the country. What is possible though that some countries have debt registries which may show any owed debts if the landlord has decided to take the owed debts into formal debt collection. These debts that...

    Landlord trigger

    Can I ask are you talking about the same land lady you have talken about previously? Does she know about your history with trauma/pstd? I am just wondering whether she is not getting the full picture why you are late in rent. That you are doing your best but you do have an illness which affects...

    Relationship Husband asked for divorce while deployed, unsure how to proceed.

    You made a good point that outside from the deployment one can't fully grasp what's its like out there. And also same from the supporter's side as well. My point for OP is that she also needs to take care of herself (particularly now when circumstances likely prevent fully dealing with the...

    After leaving a toxic workplace, I landed in a new one-- scared and losing hope

    Scale of adverse life events to put catastrophising in context?

    Also avoiding triggers like click-bait articles and trying to incorporate something pleasurable in my daily living helps me to keep anxiety in manageable level . Routines help too. Still some days are easier than others and I think I just need to accept that as part of my current situation. I am...

    Relationship Husband asked for divorce while deployed, unsure how to proceed.

    One friendly note. You as his spouse are Imho owed to know why your husband suddenly wants a divorce. I get he is in a very high stress environment but his actions sound pretty rash and even cruel towards you. Would it be possible for you to talk a counselor? In order to get a bit more mind...

    Extra anxious and hypervigilant when people comes home to my place.

    @Hope2 Do you feel similarly in a public place like library, coffeehouse or gym? Or is it easier when it's not 'your place'?
