    You Know You Have PTSD When...

    When you go to a movie, find out halfway through that there is a terrorist plot (I'm a terrorism survivor), want to run out of the theater but simply control your triggers, and stay until the end. That is progress.

    How Did You Sleep Last Night?

    I slept again through the night last night. I think it is only one of a handful of times I slept like that since May. I am hoping and praying that this is the new normal for me. I wish sleep to all of you up throughout the night.

    Help- Advice Needed

    You sound like me except for the startle response which I don't seem to have anymore. It used to be bad, people would walk up behind me and I would scream at the top of my lungs. It hasn't happened in awhile. But as for the anxiety, fear, and worry I have that too. Still after all these...

    What Are You Feeling Today? Not Thinking, Rather Feeling! Can You Identify Yours?

    I am feeling tired although I slept through the night. Maybe reading my Human Behavior text book for upcoming school is what is to blame. A rather fascinating subject but dry when put on paper.

    How Did You Sleep Last Night?

    This is odd- I slept through the whole night last night. Then I took a two hour nap today. So now I'm wondering what is in store for tonight. Please let it be a repeat of last night.

    How Did You Sleep Last Night?

    I was wrong watching television while sitting on my bed has nothing to do with my sleep problems. I didn't sleep that well again last night. I woke up from 2 a.m. until 4 a.m. then fell back asleep. I'm starting to give up on sleeping through the night.

    How Did You Sleep Last Night?

    I slept through the night. Sitting on my bed watching television for a few hours before going to bed was causing my sleep disturbance. I think. I'll find out tonight.

    How Did You Sleep Last Night?

    Not well at all. I haven't slept this badly since after the last major trauma in my life years ago. I have no problem falling asleep but wake up from 2-5 a.m. and then am up. Or sometimes I fall back asleep. This has been going on since the end of May when my Mom passed away. I forgot how...

    Happiness Challenge Round 4. July 1 2013

    Three things I'm grateful for are my family, that my sister's party wasn't as crowded as I thought it would be, and that I got home safely. A positive aspect is that I actually went to my sister's house in NYC. It was on the outskirts and I'm beginning to wonder if it is time for a trip to...

    Flashbacks Associated With The Shower

    I too have shower issues. I took a bubble bath and it triggered them again. For the longest time it didn't bother me. I did EMDR on these issues and it helped. Now I'm in a bit of an upheaval in life so things are stirred up. I take really fast showers these days. I need to speak with my...

    What Are You Feeling Today? Not Thinking, Rather Feeling! Can You Identify Yours?

    I am feeling totally stressed and on the verge of a panic attack. In order to keep my health insurance I cannot work. I don't really think that I'd be able to handle a job right now. I couldn't last year and that was a simple job. So I applied for jobs last week thinking the insurance would...

    Goal For The Day

    My goal for today is to get through the day without letting my anxiety rule it. Which will be a challenge since I will be going to several stores to look at laptops. And I don't do well in retail.
