Best thing to do is go see your regular doctor and get a referral to see a psycologist,

I have most of what Fridayjones listed, worst would be the tremors and dry mouth, I'm not sure if anxiety is in that category but it goes along for the ride

I stopped drinking four months ago and avoid going to clubs, I didn't have a drinking problem as I drank to get numb, now I take medication best of luck with AA I went once and thought it was rubbish.

It's very difficult to know how to reply to such a text, I had a similar situation with a friend on Facebook and he had just returned from deployment and had been drinking and told me a story about something that had happened and how he was feeling about it, I froze I didn't know what to say as...

As a Parent I think the child may not but the adult bloody should know the difference, We have allways kissed and cuddled our kids, my son is 19 now and still gives me a hug when he sees me, I grew up the same way, I can't understand why adults do such things.

I sometimes make hurtful comments about what my wife is wearing or her hair, I don't mean to do it and I know I have hurt her afterwards but I just have a nasty part of me that comes out sometimes, I can't blame my PTSD for that I have been like that all my life

I told my psychologist about the site and what I get out of it.

I'm Not upset at all I just can't see how someone else could be a indirect suffer of PTSD, my wife could be stressed by what I am going through but she has no idea what I see in my head, I was there I was the one covered in blood holding something dying from horrific injuries, how could she see...

I was diagnosed and am aware of the process,

Ok this is a topic I have questions about myself, I have suffered personal grief with the death of family members, both parents and my brother, and that is grief. I was never bullied as a child up to my teenage years as I loved a fight, I suffered workplace bullying and it was very stressful and...

I have gone to bed early to avoid the fireworks because my flashbacks are triggered by loud bangs, my anxiety is escalating now after someone in my street started new year early. There is no way of escaping the noise

You are not using your real name so why worry

Anxiety is the worst part of PTSD for me, when I first went to the doctors I was given Diazapam 5mg for quick relief but it wasn't really working for me so then I was given Zoloft 50mg and that worked but I still had really bad days so after a month my dose was increased to 100mg and I still...

I have no guilt

I have intrusive memories all the time and it's just the image of the traumatic event, Flashbacks take me there and I relive the event, mostly as dreams, when I wake up I don't know if I am in the present or the past, The first think I do is look at my hands because they where covered in blood...

Sounds interesting

I had a detailed flashback three weeks ago on a Saturday and woke up not knowing where I was, as in present day or 30 years ago when my trauma happened, I'm back to normal now so this time it was three weeks of anxiety some time off work and some long therapy sessions, and medication.

I work until 11:15pm every night and I get home at allmost midnight, I watch TV for 2 hours to unwind and go to bed, it seems to take a long time to go to sleep but like today it's 6:30am and I am awake and I consider that a good nights sleep, I get up for a hour and feel tiered and run down...

I only relive my trauma and wake up like I'm still there, it takes me a while to realise I'm at home in bed and safe, Then my anxiety kicks in and I can't do much that day.

Hi Laurie, I am in the same position at the moment, my medication is helping but my anxiety spikes about once a week and all I can do is take more pills and go to bed,

I tryed to go through theraphy without meds but the more I got into details about my trauma the worse the anxiety got, I folded after a month of very little sleep and extreme anxiety, I almost feel normal most of the time now with slight anxiety that spikes on bad days but it's better than where...

I have been married for 25 years and my trauma was 30 years ago, I can't imagine my life with out my wife, she supports me and gives me space when I need it, it's takes two willing people to make it work.

Welcome, You are not alone, I have had my trauma locked away for 30 years and it's been eating me up inside, three months ago I started theraphy and it has not been easy but I am starting to feel a bit better, For me the anxiety is the worst part of the whole process,

My down days are the best days to go in and say it as it is,
