Thanks Anthony. Glad you checked out my blog. She's an anxiety saver, that's for sure. Never had my anxiety this under control. Feels great! Manic

Thanks James. :) She thanks you too! Manic

Wow! I have another dog that weighs that much! He's like a horse. Hehe. That's definitely what I love about dogs. I could be dissociating really badly, not know where I am or whats going on and she's there to ground me. She is the sweetest thing. And the best thing about her being an energetic...

I can definitely relate to episodes like this. I remember when my episodes started as a young child my mind sort of 'invented' this other person/personalitiy. Her name is Katie and she will come out sometimes when I can't function/break down or I forget everything, such as where I am, who I am...

I just bought a new puppy. I have been thinking for the past year about having an emotional support puppy. I finally made it happen. This puppy is fun, smart, cuddly and she has a bit of a hard past so it makes us feel a bit closer! She's part border collie and I don't know what else. The poor...

In my personal opinion, no one has the right to cheat on someone their in a relationship with. It's just plain wrong, no matter what. I am a PTSD sufferer and that does not give me the right to cheat, steal or hurt anyone, does it? Manic

Hello Ernie, I'm glad you've found someone in your life that understands and supports you. I was just wondering though, how is it that you know you have C-PTSD from being raped? C-PTSD comes from recurring trauma. Something that has happened time and time again or for a long period of time. Manic

My boyfriend is a wonderful, very supportive man. He supports me in every way with my PTSD and OCD. Unfortunately, he's a very sexual person (of course he's a guy! LOL) and because I grew up being molested and then was raped, I'm just getting used to sex being a normal and pleasurable thing...

Well step one is opening up and talking to others/asking others for help. Step one done! You should be proud of yourself for having the courage to post this thread. I have the same issues with have flashbacks or odd memories of things I didn't remember happening before. It's hard but it's a...

Let me start of by saying welcome to the forum! Good for you for seeking help. I understand how hard (and sometimes frustrating) it can be to deal with repressed memories. I'm dealing with that myself too. But you need to remember that whether or not you remember the exact memory or whether or...

I agree with what was said above. It's bad enough to have this happen in your own home! I went through abuse in my home, in my room and in my bed so the whole house was scary. I didn't even have a safe room to go to! After talking to my therapist about this, she explained to me that I need to...

Thanks for the suggestion! I have the same issue with waking up feeling like I never slept at all. Very frustrating and exhausting... Hope things are going better for you! Manic

I would love to post a photo of my dog but she's camera shy! She will literally turn her butt to the camera and hide her face when I point the camera at her. LOL My dogs and my horse have really saved my life. No matter what kind of day you have they're always there to cheer you up. And they...

All part of the beautiful healing!! Rest up. Manic

Bringing this thread back to life to announce that today I finally got to ride my horse for the first time! She was so good and calm! It was a fantastic feeling for us to go for a walk together! We fit so perfectly and it felt so good. I can't wait to go for nice long rides with her! She's the...

I can't help but say with excitement that I'm not alone! I always felt this exact same way and haven't been able to find the words to describe it so I have kept it to myself. When I've tried to explain it people look at me like I have 4 heads. I wish I had the answers. I'm in the same boat and I...

Good for you! I understand how difficult eating can be but that's a huge step! Keep it up! Set a goal for yourself and try to do that more and more often with different recipes. Congrats. :) Manic

No. I wasn't on any medication other than Xanax at the time. Now I'm on Xanax and Prestique. I'm still getting very scary/weird dreams.... I'm going to check with my doctor to see if maybe the medication could be the cause. Manic

Then the quote is even more perfect for you isn't it! Lol! Manic

Aww! Thank you so much Mercy and Pebbels. You both made my day! I'll pass the message along to her. Hehe. Manic

Mmm. Thanks hun. I'm very lucky to have her. I've seen her only maybe once or twice in the past week. I miss her so so much! I will post more pictures of her soon! Once I'm better. :) Manic

My health is in terrible condition right now. I've been sick since July 09! I would get very ill all of a sudden, get treated, go back to work and a week later I'd be down again with either something different or the exact same thing. This time my throat and neck has swollen up and I'm having a...

Hahahaha! I like this! If only I knew that trick when my parents would ask me... Manic

I have very strange/scary nightmares but I never thought my meds might be the cause of it... I wonder... Manic

I have been taking Prestique for two weeks today and a couple of days ago I began to notice minor symptoms such as appetite suppression, fatigue, etc. No severe side effects and no positive or negative effects anxiety wise. Manic
