I'm in counseling.

My heart is sinking. I wish I wasn't the way I am. I was triggered just over a month ago and was overcome by an emotional flashback that I'm just settling down from now. It's been hard on my husband. When this happens, a little girl takes over, and I'm not really in the marriage anymore...

That sounds very mean and hurtful. I'm sorry you carried the guilt around for so long.

I think what I'm asking is how can I leave this body and stay present at the same time? Probably not possible.

I'm looking for help, advice, tips, etc for being around people when I'm panicking. It feels claustrophobic just to be in my body, I want to get out, add noise, add people who want my attention and conversation, and all I want to do is run, snap, space out. Severely longing to be by myself...

IT sounds to me like from the get go this guy was after one thing and he didn't care whether or not you said yes or no. If you had clearly said no at the beginning he would have done the same thing that he did later on when you did clearly say no. He raped you. Whether or not the police would...

I hope it all works out for you.

1. I'm so happy 2. I'm so blessed 3. I'm excited about Sabbath 4. I can hardly wait to see my friends tomorrow 5. I love my house. It's so cozy.

I hope you all find rest for your souls. For years I could not sleep and I don't know how I survived the high anxiety that was my normal. I don't know how I kept a job, and raised my daughter. I'm just amazed that I was able to do anything. I am so glad that it has eased up. Over the last five...

I've learned to recognize this, and even though it can feel better, I often do things our say things I wouldn't normally say. I feel better but am very detached from reality, so I try not to think that everything's fine now and I'm all better (which is what I would do) then cube down from my...

Yes. I think this is how it is with me.

I don't know what I would have done without the dogs that I've had. One dog in particular... taught me how to love. Such a beautiful dog. He had such high emotional intelligence. A big dog... Rottie/husky cross. I really don't know what I would have done without that dog. I think he saved my...

I find that when I get tired, symptoms are exaggerated. Physical symptoms intensify - the stress in my body is painful in my neck and back. I know when I'm over tired because my muscles get so tight that I have to lie down. Sitting up can be painful. Emotional symptoms intensify - anxiety is so...

When all the while you are breathing you can't breathe you can't breathe you can't breathe and you know you have to eat but that walk to the kitchen is like walking through your entire life and you can't breathe can't breathe can't breathe, and when you look in the mirror you see a stoic face...

Hey there, My husband found this thread for me. He read me some posts and really related and found it helpful. We both did, actually. So, I thought I would join the forum and see some more, and share some. A counselor mentioned to me about 5 years ago that I was experiencing ptsd, but I've...
