bec, there is some truth in that.

I like your story, and once again congratulations.

I was once as bad as it gets. A psychiatrist told me I could not take another hit in life, I would kill myself. I have not had any symptoms of PTSD now for almost 5 years. My life is as dynamic as anyone I know. My story is on this site, I'm sure many have seen it. If you have not, it can...

I have made no secret I think ptsd is curable. I have walked through this process, and I think I could help others do as I did, and have similar results. There is more to this than ending the perpetual flashbacks, nightmares, startle reflex, and the other symptoms of PTSD. PTSD has...

If I were asked to come up with a program for PTSD, it would include a 12 step program. It would be similar to the program Bill W. authored for A.A.

I can relate. You did good.

I think that was very well put, Cyndi. I like how you stated that like grief, PTSD does change us. Boy does it ever.

. I disagree. I try to keep up with research in this area, because it is an area I am interested in. I have not seen any research that supports what you are asserting. I would be interested to see any articles on this subject

Yes, that would be just fine.

I'll get this myself, if I eat something with a lot of sugar. And I have a bit of a sweet tooth. I've never read of a link with PTS, BUT I don't discount anything. I've learned if I eat a high - protein breakfast, I can get through the rest of the day no problem.

I believe having PTSD is traumatic itself. If that is the case, then would not that doesn't that make PTSD a progressive disorder? I hope I can word this sufficiently to convey my meaning. The symptoms of PTSD, the dissociation, the dysfunction in my daily life, was unbearable. In...

It was by accident that my attempt to learn to play a stringed musical instrument, had the result that it did. That I was so obsessed by an irrational wish, might give some insight how deranged from PTSD I had become, how separated from reality my thinking was. As I have stated, the ability to...

TL - I truly hope you find something that will work for you, you are worthy of a much better life. I'm a guy myself, I know there are some real jerks out there, but there are a lot of good ones as well. I have noticed with men and women, many of us do not have very good radar with members of...

I have a .45 within arm's reach. PTSD or not, I have been seriously beaten multiple times in my life. I understand the savagery and cruelty that possess some people. I will not willingly let it happen again. In addition, as the man of the house, I feel a moral obligation to be able to...

After being on those meds for over a year, then stopping, wow! And for a person with PTSD. My guess would be nightmare city. Must have been bloody awful. Not good.

Many medications, indeed most medications, used as sleep aids suppress REM sleep. If you take these for a period of time, then stop taking them, you will experience a phenomenon known as REM rebound. This is why you experienced such a large number of intense nightmares after coming off of the...

We have a particular brand of ice cream in this area of the U.S. - Blue Bell. They know how to make ice cream. They have a new flavor, snicker-doodle cookie dough, something like that. The missus picked up a half gallon, but I have not been home yet. That's gonna be some good stuff.

I don't know if you have ptsd or not. I think it might be good to go in for a bona-fide professional diagnostic evaluation. I have been tested multiple times with the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory, and I think there were other tests done as well. It's best to know exactly...

With my luck I'd probably get run over by a Rolls Royce.

We survived the hurricane, but my house was severely damaged. Not as bad as lot of folks, and we survived. Just got power last night. We were isolated from the word for several days. No power and debris covered roads. Things are slowly getting back in order.

I made a mistake, it's not yet a cat 4, it's only a cat 3. Nonetheless it does not look good. I live about 100 miles inland, we are expected to have heavy rain, and winds 75 - 110 mph. For now, we are gonna just hunker down and ride it out.

We have a Category 4 hurricane headed for my front door. :eek: Should be here in about 48 hours.

For me, it puts me in a very unpleasant state of mind to wish harm on someone. So I try to accept what happened, realize that was part of my story, and just let it go. Ultimately we are only on this earth a short time. All we really have are our family, and friends, and today. I do not...

We might have a hurricane headed our way. I've had enough of these bad boys.
