I started at my new job about a month ago, and I've already called out twice because of fatigue, and gone in a couple hours late 3 times because it took me more than 3 hours to just get out of bed. I'm having trouble eating because I'm just too tired to throw something together before and after...

And I'm watching those pieces fall off one by one. Actually, it feels more like it's a hundred at a time. I hate to admit it, but I'm scared. I want to get better, but part of me would rather just keep shoving everything back into the depths of my subconscious. Right now, the former seems to be...

When I don't dissociate I laugh. Anything from anger to fear provoked by someone I'm with, or even empathizing with someone I just saw get hurt, can cause it. It's not a nervous laugh -- It feels like I just heard a really funny joke. I have almost no control over it, and it happens at the worst...

For over two years, I had a "friend" who would consistently sexually harass me. He's an ex-boyfriend of mine, and I broke up with him because of sexual harassment, but continued to maintain contact with him because of a mutual friend -- our mutual friend was someone I only ever got to spend time...

I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced any sort of allergic reaction without any environmental cause (such as skin/respiratory irritants or food). I've heard of high stress levels being connected to histamine release, but I'm the only anecdotal case I've heard of. I've been strung so...

I've been working full-time since June, and it's become evident to me that I can't deal with the stress and physical work of a job. I work 40 hours out of necessity. I can't afford not to work that much. My life has become work and lying in bed. Though I sleep very little, I can't get myself out...

Hey there! I've been doing pretty well lately, though I guess that's relative to how I was 5 months ago... Anyway, recently I can foresee things getting worse, so I've been having more flashbacks, anxiety, and more vivid nightmares. I have two sources of PTSD, unfortunately. I don't know when...
