monster..., that sounds like a great idea:) I will try that.

I will have to stick to relaxation and grounding techniques. The nurse suggested drugs but only if I had someone who would make sure I got home allright and stay with me for several hours and I have no one that I could ask. No family that lives near here and no friends. The only people I know...

I am sorry if I am replying to something that I shouldn't because I have PTSD. I haven't been in a relationship since I found out that this is what I have been suffering with all my life so maybe my view is a little clouded. I have needed space, I isolate myself and I have been in your...

Thanks for the pep talks. I think I just needed to vent and acknowledge that I am having issues with this. It helps to know I will be able to look outside of the machine. As long as I will be able to position my head so that I can do that I will probably be okay. It is in my medical files...

I have a Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) test scheduled for tomorrow. It is a scan of my brain, ironic that I have had abdominal pain for almost 2 years that doctors can't figure out and haven't asked for this test yet. One doctor noticed that I blinked one eye slower than the other a few...

Hi Jyar, I can rellate to what you are going through. When I began to have children I had panic attacks because I knew what could happen. I had a traumatic event when I was 5 but I blocked it from my memory I only had emotional responses and to me it seemed irrational. My ex-husband also had...

I don't know what it is about these things that makes me dissociate. Maybe it is the distorted vision around the spots that are clearly focussed. I have gone in to the store where I bought my glasses and had another adjustment made. It is a little better and I will try this for another couple...

For the first time I need to wear glasses. I have been using reading glasses for the past couple of years but whenever I spoke to someone or did anything other than close work I took them off. A month ago I saw an optometrist and found out that I needed distance glasses too. It wasn't a...

(((((((NightHawlk)))))))) I am glad that you finally have a diagnosis. It just plain sucks but now you can learn how to deal with it. Eliminating that unknown factor is a huge step forward. Even though there are few options at least the ones you have now will be targetted to what is wrong...

Hi Nighthalk, I have been wondering how you are doing. I hope you get some answers soon. I know what it is like when everyone knows something is wrong but can't tell you what it is. If you want a pocketrider for the appointment count me in! I miss being able to get into chat but my computer...

Hi Paz, There are a lot of people on here that haven't been formally diagnosed. It helps if you are diagnosed because then you can get the right therapies for you. It is great that you are already talking to a therapist. The trauma that happened to me happened over 40 years ago and I was...

People turning thier backs after witnessing something seems to minimize the crime. At least to me it had that affect. It couldn't have been that bad if no one did anything. When I was kidnapped a man came up to the car. I saw him when I moved the coat I was hidden under and I assumed he saw...

I agree with the two that have already replied. Talk to your pharmacist. My pharmacist has refused to give me medications because they interacted with other medications I was already on, that the doctor was aware of but my doctor did not know there was a serious interaction. I think of them...

Hi Muse, I have been there too, a lot of years ago. My children are all grown up now and having their own children. What Leah said I couldnt have said any better. I quoted a part of her response because it is so true. Prioritizing is what helped me through. I made lists and I had to be...

Hi jjh29, It sounds like you really need some answers. It is very frightening when things likke this happen, it worries me when it happens to me and i have had to make some life changes when it became too much for me to handle. There is a thread called "Dissociation Explained" started by...

....roses.......

When I was married my husband said that I would hit him while I was sleeping. It was before I could remember what happened to me. Now I am divorced and sleep alone and I do sometimes wake myself up from a sound sleep, when I can sleep. It is worse when my PTSD symptoms are bad. It may be...

Perhaps the image had exactly the effect the owner of the site was hoping for. By making a viewer feel anxiety and panic, it would perhaps make them sign up for classes. It sounded more like a self-defense class instead of a support group.

I wonder if the purpose of the image and the "hitmen" is to give women exposure to the situation so that they don't freeze if the situation happened for real. As hard as it was to be on this forum at first, the exposure I have had on here has helped me immensely in understanding what happened...

((((Amethist)))), I am so sorry your family is going through this. I felt so helpless when I got the news about a family member. Please take care of yourself while you are taking care of the rest of your family.

I hate that I am feeling this way. I don't know if it is the medication I just started or a continuation of the depression that started getting worse a couple months ago. I do want to say that although I have often thought that I would welcome the end of my life, I don't want to do anything to...
