I don't think you are crazy I have heard that this is how the flashbacks work and that what you are seeing is real. There is a great you tube channel that may help called trauma recovery university that has a lot of people going through what you are and resources. Self soothing might be good...

Just had it today; on my knees on bed to open door to room and whamo! Intense cramp behind left knee; excruciating and I couldn't move leg for a few minutes! Real or PTSD? Was held on my knees by an attempted murderer, related? Why would I torture myself with the pain? Stressful! Hate PTSD !!!

Wow! What an eye opener! Australia is different than U.S. Most doctor's appointments here do not adequately address lifestyle or diet which seems very different than Australia. Wish we could copy that practice! I see a lot of med prescribing and then more meds to treat side effects of other...

Sounds great! Happy to hear! Still don't feel the abuse disclosure is appropriate. Just saying.

I am sorry about not being able to read everyone's posts but just have to add my 2 cents. I am livid that your church is asking you to divulge such personal information without providing an environment to support the effects of divulging that information such as counseling.... Using info from...

I've been saying this and thinking this for decades and so much more... Cholesterol problems... I truly believe that exercise, a healthy diet, being in nature and faith are far more effective than meds but people want a quick and low effort fix. I truly believe many health problems can be aided...

Had a great group experience! Hope you do too!

You have been through a lot and u are stepping up to get better. The road is not easy as we all can relate to. People shouldn't underestimate the power of the mind in controlling the body. It's amazing. You have to treat yourself sometimes; things or activities you like, even just sitting in...

I feel definitely that PTSD can cause physical ailments! Have done a lot of research on it here and other places. I relive car accident pains and then I ground and they go away. I always question my symptoms as to being actually physical or PTSD. It's a lot of work to figure out! Found deep...

I am so sorry this happened to you!!! It was an accident!!!! Accidents happen all the time!!! It doesn't sound like anyone's fault- just an awful, horrible accident! Glad you are okay! You sound normal and healthy to me taking every step to stay well and cope with this trauma! May you have...

I went through some psychosis wondering myself, found out its PTSD. Dissociative. I thought people could be influenced by my thoughts. I heard and talked to voices in my head but they go away with distraction, EMDR and grounding also lack of sleep makes everything worse and increased stress...

I am glad they are observing you! Sounds like a serious accident and it's better safe than sorry!!! I find grounding helpful and I can tell dissociation now when I couldn't before. It's a weird subtle feeling that since doing EMDR and grounding is much more noticeable. Hope you will be able to...

Thanks u guys!

Yeah! Passed BSN!!!

Found I can only do 10-20 minutes of EMDR at a time ; dissociate too much, feel like I am entering another planet or matrix zone. Found small amts are awesome!!!!! Having a safe place and self soothing and when bad EMDR session saying it's just a side effect, one bad session, it'll pass soon.

Yup I reported one attempted rape but not others. I say fight; works for me every time; with your brain, strength or prayer. Scum went to jail for 9 years. Hopefully it helped other women or even girls. Csa is a different story.

? Seroquel ? Lunesta Your current meds with sleepy time tea Hope you feel better! Hugs

You did it!!!!!! Congratulations and celebrations are in order!!!!

It may seem like he is depressed but it may actually be the body still recovering from the attack. I thought my grandfather was depressed too but he actually had congestive heart failure after a heart attack. He had to have weight checks every am cuz his lungs were filling with fluid and he...
