    Feelings of abandonment

    I understand and feel all the ways you do... it's almost like I wrote what you just did. Please know you're not alone in how you feel. I'm not sure what more to say, but life gets better when you create positive change in your life and work toward achieving it. You gotta be kinder toward...

    My cat died

    What a good boy... he came here to do what he was meant to do. I believe we will see our furry friends again on the otherside. I'm so sorry for your loss, but it sounds like he was very loved and cared for.

    How do i "people"?

    Don't psych yourself out, people are going to disappoint you and people are going to amaze you. Just try to be yourself and go with the flow. You'll learn through experience. Don't overthink things and just focus on staying positive as much as is possible. Be kind to yourself and know you're...

    I feel like i'm hurting the people around me overwhelmingly

    PTSD is hard on us, and hard on the people who love us. I'm sorry you're feeling alone and abandonned... a lot of us feel that way, indirectly or directly due to PTSD. Your boss sounds like an incredibly understanding and patient person. I'd think, even despite your circumstances, if you are...

    Bad day/meds not helping

    You can't rely solely on medications to take it all away... imo... Are you doing any mindfulness or CBT type things to combat some of this?

    Undiagnosed Someone please help me

    I didn't mean my reply to be offensive to you. I asked questions to understand your reasoning behind getting involved and not sharing with your gf. We got off on the wrong foot apparently...

    Undiagnosed Someone please help me

    Why can't you talk to your girlfriend? Since you're an adult, can you just leave their business as their business? Why do you have to involve yourself?

    Realized i'm incredibly naive when it comes to sex

    No... that's not your worth. You gotta change that incorrect belief to change how you feel, to in turn change your behavior. Every feeling and every action comes back to a belief. If we believe that's all we are worth, we can't progress.... its hard though, I'm working on it too. If a guy...

    I just shocked my therapist and feel horrible.

    I'm sorry. But his reaction is one of pure *empathy* for you. What you went through must've been awful. But the good part of it is that you have someone who understands and deeply empathizes with what you went through...and he can and is committed to helping you through it! This is his job...

    Question for ptsd suffererers: sudden break up

    That's a good point. Still I feel it could go either way.

    Question for ptsd suffererers: sudden break up

    Depends where the feelings came from and if it actually relates in any way to who you are or what you do/have done. Is she blaming you for things you don't do, accusing you of being someone you aren't, and even when you try your hardest to convince her otherwise she is fixated on her...

    Question for ptsd suffererers: sudden break up

    Ugh this is that push and pull thing we tend to do. You're both under a lot of stress but you have better coping skills than she does having PTSD. If we feel we can't handle the stress of a relationship we feel compelled to flee. I can't speak for her obviously, but she might just need some...

    News Tiger, tiger

    No... but theres a poem that goes "Tiger Tiger" by William Blake... and a song by Tiger Army "Valley of Dreams" based on the poem which is pretty awesome... Unrelated. But made me think of it.

    Dom Violence I need advice!

    Um... wow. Was he inebriated in some way? His reaction seems totally out of left field. This is unacceptable... kill you and bury you in the backyard? Push you? Grab you? I think you need to leave this guy alone. Something's wrong and its not your job to figure it out or fix it. You've...

    On my worst "vacation" ever

    Maps are terrible lol. You're having several incidents of bad luck that are uncontrollable. Stressful... yes. But there are solutions, like even getting a cheaper phone to use just for gps (maybe return it later... why not). PTSD makes these incidents of stress much bigger than they would...

    Family's a joke

    Well she cares so thats a good sign. What's the reason she yells so much? Does her family communicate that way? Was she not heard as a kid or does she gets so angry she struggles to control it? Some people just yell out of habit because they've communicated that way for so long

    Family's a joke

    Does she want you to wait so that you can be present to help/support her?
