Hello. Welcom to this amazing forum. I can relate alot to what you said! But, to be honest, I can sometimes be one of those "positive thinking" bastards. :D :D :D But, in all seriousness, yes people have a hard time understanding, and that is very difficult. But here are people who...

Hello. I am sorry to say, but to me it feels like you are in a bit of denial. I hope I dont offend you. Two thing in particular jumped out to me while reading your post. Well, selfloathing is a pretty big part of depression. Is it really the end of the world that you let your training go...

I have a lot of trouble to be assertive in emotional situations as well. What I did to combat that: I planned. I got into the "intellectual mindspace" or logic, or whatever you want to call it. Then I wrote down what was going on. I play calming music and drink tea and write a letter. That...

Hello :) I believe you are victim blaming yourself. :hug: It is really, absolutely, and profoundly not your fault. I am no expert on the matter, but that I know for sure. I once read, that victims blame themselves to maintain the illusion of controll. But the fact is, they were without...

Im in a very very bad place emotional. Yesterday and today hopelessness and fatigue trumped everything. Did not do my excercise yesterday, just could not do it. Today, I also felt I just couldnt but told myself, I have at liest to try. Procrastinated it for an astonishing 4 hours, before I...

Hey, best of luck! You chose a good day, just today a video series got posted. Its for supporters. Link Removed Maybe they are helpfull to your needs. :)

Seconded. Most of these people should be ashamed. I cannot understand the lack of empathy and surpluss of narcissism that these sheltered people need to bring to the table in order to not understand this.

@anthony - I am very pleased right now. You see, I misunderstood. I thought you had said "Men are less emotional" and "Men have less emotions" and you even thought science would agree with you. I have seen that alot, you see, and its so wrong and deeply difficut, and emotional :D , issue for me...

I have been writing this post for 15 minutes now, writing-deleting-rewriting, because I do not want to be a troublemaker. :) Difficult stuff. Ive gotta bow out of this thread, as this discussion puts me in a very bad place. Brings up awfull memories. So, I am sorry if I am a bad sport in that...

Just wanted to say that rubs me the wrong way and hard. Maybe I misunderstand you, but that line of thinking I believe to be very damaging and it caused major pain in my life. From men who used it as an excuse to abandon, and women who used it as an excuse to abuse. Also .... its just not true.

What the everloving f*ck is that supposed to mean? I mean ... seriously? He did not even apologize?

Yo! I feel you. This is one of the things that I really, really hope therapy will help me with. This hypervigilance around people is just so destructive and obstructive... I cant even go to the cinema without me being a complete nervous wreck afterwards. Forgett socialising. Public transport is...

Thanks for writing that. Soon I will go to my first appointments. Just wanted to say, reading your post calmed me down,

Erm, I made this thread two years ago. It is really not a topic for me anymore. But thanks :D :D :D :D :D :D

I often forget parts of my history and life. A few months ago I finally accepted the PTSD diagnosis because of this incident: I was lying in bed, all nervous and could not sleep, and was thinking I was the dumbest idiot on earth for believing I could have ptsd. Me? With all the love and luck I...

I had a very, very hard time in school. Most teachers thought I was very dumb, but it was the PTSD making me unable to learn and remember. Could spent hours and hours and hours learning for a test, bamm, bad grade. Every time. My spelling and math is also atrocious. Nowadays, I think, I would be...

What helped me with my anger is a bit hard for me to put into words. But once I learned about PTSD and that the anger I have is just "a stream of information" and not my true self, it got alot easier for me to manage. Anger is not a permanent state, you know, at least for me. I imagine it like...

Fantastic thread, thank you. I mostly have the unrelated and vague nightmares. The horror ones, one you could make a good movie out of, have become rare. Instead my dreams are just about always very emotionally charged and awfull. Lonelyness, blame, anger, sadness, stress, argueing, crying and...

You are definately not insane. If you were insane, you would not notice something being wrong. :) It does not even have to be "by proxy" if your father was abusive. Once you got traumatized, stress can "trigger" the past traumas into PTSD, or so I understand. There has to be a criterion A...

80 minutes bodyweight and barbells. Got distracted halfway through, so I lost 10 minutes to my hubby coming home. Increased some sets from 3 to 4. When I woke up I "knew" I could not do it today. Took 2 hours to motivate myself and getting started. Keeping going is so much easier then getting...

It seems like you are still exposed to the traumatic environement. That would make healing harder. And those feelings you describe, they could be a sign of healing and accepting. I hope you are patient with yourself. :)

Guys, you all need to spend some time on gaming forums. The most horrid and awfull trolls are there, and it is a good internet boot camp. This is a very bad troll. Too passive agressive, too obvious and selective in what he responds too. I mean, look at his responses, he does not even respond...

Thank you all so very much. :hug: :hug: :hug: I was not doing well, but your posts helped me so much! I was reacting very, very threatened to something rather inoffensive. That woman just did not stop talking about the inpatient treatment. She was not mean, just uninformed and stupid and so I...

Help :bawling: Saw a social worker today, needed to because of the wellfare (is that the right word? i dont know) I get. She suggested I make a in-patient therapy instead of a outpatient one. She had never heard of PTSD though and her insensitive questions triggered me. I am a mess right...

Wow. Just wow. Thank you for your amazing response. I did not think that this drunken-insanity post would get any response and then, what you wrote, really is so helpfull. I especially agree that So, so true. I think that helps me the most, to realize how childish, or childlike this state is...
