2quilt, Thats a great idea! Very smart. I was in a similar situation before and I wish I would have thought of that. You did the right thing Tiger. Good for you. Very brave of you. Hang in there. Keep us updated! Manic

Welcome to the forum, Fozzie. I'm also in the area and there doesn't seem to be much for support groups around here, unfortunately. PTSD and certainly C-PTSD doesn't seem to be very recognized unless part of law enforcement or something along those lines. Even then I don't believe it's...

Thanks so much everyone! It feels really good to finally be able to post in the 'Accomplishments & Success' part of the forum! She really is a joy. She's sad the snow is gone though! She loved to play in it. It was adorable. But once the ground isn't so soft, I will be able to train her to ride...

Welcome to the forum, Lizzy. I agree with She Cat. This could quite possibly be dissociation you're dealing with. I hope you find the answers and support you are looking for here. Take care. Manic

Cat, It is NEVER stupid to call a crisis line. That what they're there for. They're not only there if you're suicidal or under certain conditions. They're there if you need them for whatever reason. Don't ever feel silly or stupid for calling a crisis line. Take care of yourself. That's what's...

Thanks for your opinion... I'm nervous to start it because it seems like its still in the testing phase and it has had many different reactions for different people. Although any medication can do different things for different people but I just don't know what to expect, especially because...

So my doctor just gave me a prescription for Prestique. He thinks it will help a lot with my general anxiety. I am still on Xanax to help me sleep and help with the panic attacks though. I'm reading up on Prestique and I don't know what to think. For some people, it made them feel much worse...

Thanks everyone! And yes, Anthony! She loves the snow! It's actually hilarious. She's like a little puppy. She kicks it, bounces around in it, rolls in it, etc. Its adorable! Manic

Thanks everyone for your support! It really feels good to try to earn her trust. I know soon I will. And what has been said here is true - in me trying to earn her trust and helping her, she is earning my trust and helping me. She also gives me a reason to get up in the morning on those days...

Another thing that really brings me closer to her is that she has trouble trusting people and has anxiety in the dark. I have to earn her trust and teach her how to be ridden again. Because of my PTSD and my trust issues with people, it brings me that much closer to her. Hopefully we can trust...

Ever since I was very young, I've adored horses. My walls, books, blankets, clothes, etc were covered with horses! I started horseback riding lessons when I was 5 and have been riding ever since! It is my number one passion... The only thing that keeps me sane. I worked in stables just to be...

Welcome to the forum, millicentcat. Good for you for making this step to getting help. Ten years or sixty years... Denial is sometimes too easy. I hope that, in your time, you can share your story with us and find the answers you need. You are not alone here. I wish you the best of luck...

It's great to have you back, Luna11. I hope you're doing well and taking care of yourself. Yes, the site has changed quite a bit but we are all still here. Great to hear from you. Manic

Happy Birthday Amethist!!!! May your birthday be a wonderful, relaxing day, free of ISH's singing.... OPPS! That last part was a typo! Just kidding ISH! Hope its a good one Amethist! Manic

I wish I could tell you why but man I'm clumsy sometimes! Some days are way worse than others. I think a lot of it has to do about when my anxiety is bad, my mind is in a different place and I just cant concentrate on what I'm doing. Knocking things over, stubbing my toes, tripping over...

You know... I'm glad you said that, ISH. Its weird to read because most don't think that way though. I guess its hard for a sufferer to admit that as well... I'm always afraid of being selfish... For example, if I get triggered, I feel very selfish. Thanks for the site, blarnystone. Manic

If you are able to find the title, ISH, I would greatly appreciate it. I'm going to look for both books. :) Thanks everyone. Manic

Thank you... Manic

I know there has been some similar threads on this subject but I couldn't seem to find any answers to my situation so here goes one more... I grew up being sexually and physically abused by my father, I have been sexually assaulted by a few other men, including one that stalked me and assaulted...

I miss all the chat buddies! Hopefully we will be back soon! We can have a little e-reunion! (Awwwww) :) LOL Manic

Happy Birthday, Anni! I hope its a great one! You deserve it! Manic

Thank you, everyone! That helps quite a bit! Manic
