You're not an idiot. I've been doing what you've been doing as well. In my case, I've been walking half an hour down a highway to get to my bus stop instead of taking the municipal buses which could drop me off at the bus stop which I walk to. They could do it in 20 minutes. So why do I risk my...

I'm feeling really, really, really shaken. :cry:

I've been getting good night's sleep since I started my Prozac. Right now though, it's 2 AM, I'm in my closet with my teddy and blanket with the closet door closed. I think it's a safe bet to say that my insomnia has returned, and so has my fear of night.

Again, I might show up, if I'm awake at that time.

May be there. If I get too triggered though I'll leave.

I cut it out. Decided it was too personal.

I started this thread because of something I read on one of the Wikis. It said that we remember traumatic things easier than happy things. To that end, I'd like to share happy memories. Memories that make us smile are just as important as memories that made us numb or cry, maybe even more so. So...

I don't want to do my homework. But I have to do my homework. So I will.... right after I weigh myself.

You know you have PTSD when... -Making progress doesn't mean no flashbacks, dissociation or anxiety, it just means you didn't avoid going to do something. -You have to email your teacher your work and apologize just in case you didn't show up for class, and then apologize if you did... only to...

I made another smoothie this morning because my apples were starting to get brown. I chopped off the brown and this is what my recipes did! I thought it was better than dessert! Really chocolatey and full afterwards. Heaven in a Blender (Makes 1 1/2 large cups or 3 normal cups) Ingredients...

I feel happy, but also kind of sad? :confused: Does that even make sense? I feel childlike, a good kind of childlike but every time I feel childlike at all it's scary. Maybe I feel a bit fuzzy... Hmmm. I need a hug. (((Hugs all)))

I'm a PTSD sufferer. I've noticed that when I get anxious or I feel fuzzy, I often ask people if they are okay. Mainly it's because I want them to get the hint and ask me if I'm okay. I can't really tell people when I get triggered or when I'm anxious/on the verge of a flashback, I'm not able to...

Welcome to the forum. I've had someone attempt suicide in front of me, so I can understand a little bit of what is going on. It hurts I know, but whatever guilt you have is wrongfully misplaced. It was his life, you could not have helped. He had to want to help himself. I hope you'll find...

Hi everyone! So, my eating habits are terrible and I'm trying to eat healthy. My grandmother moved in with us in October, and has been making me eat breakfast. Now I can't live without it. I've also decided that I need more fruit in my diet, since my fruit just consists of a glass of apple...

I've started having breakfast. At first my grandmother and I would fight. "Eat breakfast jen!" "No!" "You have to have something." "Okay" *grab breakfast bar.* Now my Granny is gone for a month and I miss our "spats" (It's all good... it's gotten to be a routine. Wouldn't really call it a...

This happens in times of high stress when my PTSD cup is already overflowing. Thursday was a really tough day for me. I was foggy, and my friends waved at me like "hello" and I looked at them confused. I remember saying "Where's my Mom? Where's my Mom?" I also think to myself when I'm...

I always liked Barney, and Veggie Tales. I felt so safe watching them. :) Arthur is amazing too. I know people say it's for babies, but I like those shows. I guess Barney, Veggie Tales and Arthur is for my inner child because there's minimal conflict, but it's still good.

Well, when I had my second traumatic event, I didn't know that I had been re traumatized. But the symptoms of the shock were there. I experienced something which could have lead to another re-traumatization, but my therapist and psychiatrist quickly swooped in and prevented that, but I did get...

Thanks. I felt like maybe this didn't belong... since I technically felt like I was in a fog during the whole thing, and I had flashbacks afterwards, but I guess the main thing is that I did it anyway.

I went to my English professor during her office hours alone. It was an oral presentation mark and it was for five percent of my grade. I remember crying after my meeting, but I must have done something right, because when I emailed her today saying that I didn't know if I showed up or not but I...

" I am asking when I read posts and sufferers are talking about their upcoming anniversary in the same manner as you would a birthday and counting down the days." (Sorry, quoting doesn't work on my IPhone, so I just copied and pasted a part of Nicolette's post. I hope you forgive me for making...

I just came back to this thread to say that I had an appointment with my DSO at school. (My teacher made an appointment after I'd had a flashback... I may have also accidentally told her not to hit me...) Anyway, that was about two weeks ago, and I just wanted to say I think I sort of understand...

It's a place where you can gain knowledge. I always say that most fear comes from not understanding. If you understand your disorder (or another's if you're a supporter) you're already on the right track to healing. It's a place where you don't have to be afraid to ask as many questions as you...
