Those arew the most inspiring words I've heard on here yet, Leigh. Thank you so much. I think I can hold my head high and brave through it. At least you've given me hope to!!!

This would be me today.

Also Oliver Queen on Arrow, (season one) to some extent.

It's a horror movie, but what happens to the girl in the movie 'Honeymoon' is nearly exactly how I reacted to what happened to me.

This!! A thousand times this.

It wasn't at all in your second post and that was what I was referring to. And when I see claims like that on national news, I do my research on it. There's a full version of the video that isn't chopped up. I never asked you to delete anything. I simply requested a trigger tag, which...

I do have a fantastic relationship with my therapist and he's always asking if I'm ok or if I need a break. Exposure therapy (from what he said) can be a long road for sexual assault victims, so I guess it's time to buckle in. Thank you for your comments and support. It's helpful to know...

As my therapist puts it, PTSD is something you learn to manage and live with, knowing eventually that you're safe. As there's no current cure, I've focused on therapy getting me to a better place in my life.

Whispering, that's not at all what I was referring to when I mentioned this trial and that doctored footage is a few months old. Also, if you're going to be triggering on more than one thread, please be considerate and flag both things as triggers. Rumors, I just wish he would have been...

Was anyone else upset that all the kid got were a bunch of misdemeanor counts? The prosecution even proved he sexually assaulted that poor 15 year old. I'm so sick of people getting away with these kinds of acts. It really upset me and now I'm still kinda unsure how to deal with my feelings...

Cold shower, large glass of ice water, cool rag on your neck and deep breaths. I hope it passes quickly.

That article was incredibly informative. Thanks, Friday!

I have a large, black no line Phoenix on my upper left arm, it's wings fading into a lavender color. Symbolizing that I rose from the ashes and I always will.

Cersei Lannnister's "well f*ck you too then." mode is how I'm feeling.

Thank you all for your words of wisdom and guidance. checking out a local meeting tormorrow.

I gained 50 lbs on Zyprexa and ended up on Phentermine to lose the weight. I sued the doctor for malpractice because I never needed an antipyschotic.

What physical ET are you referring to, if you feel comfortable explaining. I feel like it would be really hard to do with my situation but I would love to hear what it does work for!!

Thank you everyone. Friday, I'll give that a read.

Has anyone been through this type of therapy? I did straight CBT for 5 years and we've recently started exposure therapy via writing that my therapist reads and we discuss. ( I have issues verbalizing what happened without becoming physically illl). It is all very new to me and I'm kinda...

Dissociation was my main coping mechanism for years. I had the mindset while medicated that, "it didn't happen to me, it happened to someone else." allowing me distance from the trauma.

I let my now husband know up front. I was a mess when we met. He's been nothing but supportive and I thank my lucky stars for that.

I suppressed what happened to me for two years until I had a nervous breakdown.

Nah, don't think of it that way :)

Levo is what I read the study on. I guess it's better than negative side effects!

When I was pregnant I had to be on BP meds. Does your thyroid medication help with any mental ailments? I have read studies that it helps with depression but I've never met someone who it's helped.
