I posted previously that my boyfriend makes more money than me, has discussed living together, I live at home because I have NO money after bills (12 bills, for the record)... He's once again mentioned living together. I told him we need to sit and discuss it with paperwork in front of us to...

My PTSD feels like.... a monster is hovering over me. Permanently.

I cannot take ANY antidepressants or SSRIs or anxiety medications! They all make me way worse or give me severe insomnia and memory loss. They also make me suicidal and angry. I'd rather deal with PMDD and PTSD than the side effects of medicine. I'm also not knocking those who ARE better for...

I suffer from PMDD and I put emphasis on SUFFER. During this time, I am so exhausted, walking up stairs to my bedroom is a chore, grocery shopping is torture, going to the bathroom to pee is painstakingly tiring. My body aches, one would think I had the flu. I also have Fibromyalgia and when...

I don't know if I can or want to tell him. We have one issue that has been triggering me something fierce and I'm sick of thinking about it and holding animosity and resentment toward him because of it. I am so....drained and broken and just sad. I feel no current connection because I just need...

I have tiny moments of being ashamed but not because of the rape, but more because of the virus. I've accepted it...all I can do is take care of myself and accept there's nothing I can do. I am sorry you battle shame! It's a tough thing to go through...and no two people will ever deal with it...

I know this post is old but it caught my eye! I developed a gluten intolerance as well as severe legume allergies. To the point if I even SMELL beans, I react. My aunt developed severe Celiac and she has done lots of research over the years. She explained people with this intolerance have it...

Ugh, RIGHT?! I do this thing where I'm mad at myself then punish myself by overeating then hate myself more because I'm stupid. I'm glad I'm not the only emotional dork when ONE thing can send me down a spiral of self hate. PTSD is garbage. It needs to stop wrecking our lives.

I don't know what my specific triggers are! Sometimes I just go into major panic mode without any legitimate cause. Not having control of situations is a major trigger, though. Not going to break on scheduled time, stuck in traffic, someone doing something instead of me, anything I can't...

how just one...tiny thing can change one's entire day or even an entire week. I typically hate Tuesdays. I just HATE Tuesdays. I was actually having a decent day for the most part and then my head boss accused me of something horrific and I just can't get past it. I know in my heart I am NOT AT...

I was going through some threads, hoping for some commonalities. Quite a few were found and I haven't even dug that deep! Someone mentioned an ex boyfriend making stupid comments. I laughed to myself as I recalled a friend I had for about 15 years, give or take. I was drug-induced raped in...

I think everyone is a little crazy, some just hide it better. Haha! ;)

That's a very way to explain what it's like. I may have to borrow that! I try not to speak with him when I'm circling through Emotional Hell because whatever I say isn't ME, it's my stupid thoughts. I avoid talking to him when I'm not my usual self because whatever I feel is angry and insane...

Been there, know the feeling all too well. I've also wondered "when do I ask for help?" Many people can have many responses and it can be quite confusing at times. Some say to call the second the idea comes into your head. Some say to call when you're making plans. Some say to call as you are...

Incessant noises; clicking pens, banging objects, tapping, loud chewing that continues for long periods of time. I don't like women with soft spoken voices, I don't know why, it just hits every nerve in my body and sends me into a spiral of internal rage. I could list every noise that triggers...

You may be right; it may be fears of being close. While it's disheartening that we think these things and have these behaviors, it's also nice knowing I'm not the only one. I sometimes wish he'd leave me and find someone without my issues, my burdens, but the idea of him leaving is terrifying...

Do any of you ever feel like you're sometimes not REALLY in your relationship? I love my boyfriend with all my heart. So far, we're on the same page with what we want in our relationship future. We've known each other two years and been together since January. He spent a year trying to get me...

It's honestly tough to know. I've recently discovered sudden death or death in general can create PTSD symptoms in some people more prone to developing the symptoms. I dealt with someone very close to me falling very ill and eventually passing after many years of suffering, when I was nearing...

After talking to him about it countless times before and getting nowhere, I finally decided to email him. I had previously brought it up in person 2-3 times, over text, and got nothing. So, I emailed him everything I was feeling and how I think things need to be handled. He texted me with an...

I'm going to give some time to pass when I'm in a more stable mindset before bringing it up. I don't know if he feels like he's letting me down, or that he knows he screwed up initially and can't fix it...like he's stuck in this situation and no matter what he says or does it isn't going to fix...

I was officially diagnosed with PMDD through my gynecologist two years ago. We had been discussing my behaviors and moods and symptoms of cycles for years and even though I had a hysterectomy, it made my PMDD flare up even worse (I still have my ovaries). Since I don't get my period or the...

I am the same. When I have a set idea in my head on when I will be somewhere, or how something will get done, or how I will do a task, and someone interferes, I get angry. I need the control and when I don't have it, I instantly panic. I lash out (not violently). For me, it is about control; of...

Everything you've said is exactly what I've been dealing with since July; he's so great other than this. This is the ONLY thing going on and I just can't wrap my head around it. I've met the roommate three times. His roommate moved in two months earlier than anticipated and he never told me, it...

I don't know! That's part of the overall problem. When I don't think about the issue at hand, I'm fine. But once I start thinking about it, the anger in me builds up and I start panicking and have anxiety attacks. It's so absurd and ridiculous what it does to me. I wish I were able to sit down...

I forgot to log in with my reply. The guest reply was me, ha! Can you tell I was tired?
