That's a good point. Thank you!

Thanks TroyW and Recovery girl! And TroyW, congrats on being sober!! Over9000, I don't know...the feelings I receive with the "confusion spells" are anything but pleasant... Which is why I worry about playing the game. But I wonder if it'll help in some way....

So... I get confusion spells (disassociation, I think?)...and lately when I get hit I see a past video game I used to love and play. My guess is that it was my safe place and I return to it in my CS (confusion spell). Well... it's been driving me insane and I'm finally getting a new...

No, though I feel much safer here. I just thought it would take more time before Georgia, itself, would become a trigger. I also realized I had my first flashback where I could actually feel . I didn't see anything, but I could suddenly feel the humidity and I started to feel warm and sweat...

Oh, sorry. Georgia was where a lot of trauma was. My last trigger was police lights, and the incident was in Georgia, but now just looking at pictures from when I was in Georgia is becoming a trigger. I only left Georgia in August, so my question is, is it normal toalready be having PTSD problems?

I was looking for a particular picture and somehow it led me to all of these pictures from Georgia. My anxiety shot through the roof, my chest hurt, my hands shook. I only moved from there August. Is it normal to already have PTSD problems with it? I'm gonna get my parents to buy me a Serenity...

How I see it is like this, she holds out the phone to you and you only see that one phone. Well, there are other phones, they are just harder to get to. Which is the case in life, I guess. We do the things we find the easiest and the things we only see in the moment. After the moment, suddenly...

Now it's not helping that I"m experiencing my first heartbreak.

@KP that's neat about the turtle, I have some rings that I got that I had wanted to possibly use as something like that... but they don't really hold any value like that. There was a ring with the Serenity Prayer written on it, but I thought that was writing "I've got problems" on my forehead.

@arfie , I have memories come to surface, so I see what you mean, this one was much more vivid. Much more...there. I wasn't quite lost in the memory, but I could feel all of the emotions, unlike a memory which I only feel a small amount. I have a locket with a piece of a scented candle...

Ugh... I wrote this whole thing out and then it deleted it all...guess I'll try again... Happy Thanksgiving from the US! Hope everyone had a great one! So, yesterday my mom and I went to the store to get our ingredients for today. On our way home a we got pulled over for a tag problem since...

Welcome, I understand with the suicide and getting things off your chest. I was raised never speaking of my trauma, so once I finally could, I started to just sort of spill it out to whoever I could tell. And with suicide, I agree that it isn't a cry for attention. I feel the same way a lot...

@mytai, It's actually more like being detached. I see things play inside my head, not out, so I don't feel like it's actually happening, it's more like watching a movie clip in my head, but it's random. Usually video games I played previously. It's never a tragic situation or anything...

This is mostly me venting but any replied you can offer would be great. I just go through another full-blown possible disassociation spell. I usually try to push the images out of my head but I wound up trying to identify the images I saw. I couldn't, I have some guesses, but it's mostly...

I personally find trauma to be what affects your brain. The mind is a fragile thing and different things will affect it and produce "trauma". The mind is also a very personal and individual thing as well, so as someone (maybe more) wrote above, different things will affect different people.

Alright, so, unexpectedly my mom tells my dad about my "possible" disassociation problems. (See my other threads for details) Well, my dad tells her about how he had the EXACT same thing around my age. So, the next day or so we get to talking and he tells me about them. His are mostly the...

@Solara, I agree. With all of it. @ BloomInWinter, you're right. I do not know if she actually cut herself or not. My mom brought up that point.

Thank you all for your replies. I can understand her being a bit upset, part of what the moderators know is your IP address. The moderators are basically undercover, so nobody knows he is one except for me and her. He looked at my IP address, which was mostly what angered her, but I kept telling...

I am absolutely broken hearted right now. I put all of my trust into one person, one. I thought I was safe with somebody in another country far, far away, but I was wrong. I told her everything. All of my thoughts, everything. Well, in the chat we use, they have to have moderators and we...

Thank you all for the replies! If our insurance stuff goes through....I'm thinking about seeking out ...this is getting sort if annoying..naturally. I'll definintly out these ideas. Thank you again!

Hey, I understand about not wanting to tell parents. I'm looking into possibly seeking out help because my dissociation and flashbacks are getting so out of hand that I'm almost always confused, but to do that, my dad would have to know and he's the one that caused this. Also because I'm afraid...

Hi, I'm 17 and have a lot of the same problems. I was actually just crying about it when I decided to come on here to distract myself. I'm sorry and I hope you find answers.

That's a good idea. Mine sort of became one for me. When I'm having anxiety, petting her , (oddly just her, not with my other dog) lowers my anxiety and calms me.

Solara, strange, I can't handle true silence. When it's there I usually get ringing in my ears. If it's silent in my house, I always have the tv on or music.

I've been having simular problems. I assumed it was flashbacks or dissociation. I'd be doing something, anyrhing, and suddenly I'd hear words or a commercial run thorough my head while seeing a video game I played like eight years. Completely random, but always leaving me feeling weak and...
