WaHoooo!!!!! Happy Day to you Anni! A different perspective makes all the difference in how we feel about PTSD. Savour the goodness in your life. PTSD isn't the enemy. Its an inner voice calling attention to long neglected injuries. It is not covienient and that is what it is easy to get...

Looking forward to hearing more from you! O

Insomnia is hell, I know. Eventually your body will shut down. I would suggest getting a different doctor or if need be go to an emergency room. Keep yourself as calm as you can, warm blankets that sorta thing. Beware of how clumsy you can get when you are really tired, it is easy to get hurt...

Great to have you here, and I'm looking forward to getting to know more about you. O

Looking back, I would consider myself to have been a sex-aholic in the past, using surface level pleasure to bury my feelings. Very intresting. I often wondered about this for myself when I was "younger". I had this very strong impulse to seduce every man around me. I then learned that I...

I guess you look for a link somewhere? Sorry I'm not much help! I can't figure out most of the stuff on here. O

Hello! This place will be great for you, I am sure. Only share what you feel like, ask what you want. There is a huge amount of wisdom and support here! O

Married twice, egaged I don't know how many times. TONS of boyfriends-not trying to brag-I find it kinda sad. FINALLY I have a great guy. He stuck with me, and that has made me love him all the more. It wasn't until I picked someone the COMPLETE opposite of my father that I got it right. O

YOU are halarious! What a great attitude, and you are right, cats make verything better. O

I want to add a congrat! You sound like you have a great attitude and that willhelp you tremedously. Your T's sound very capable too. Eyebiter makes an excellent point, there will be storms ahead, but don't worry, they do pass. Looking forward to hearing more from you! O

Welcome! I am glad you are here! I think you will fit right in! Are you afraid of this guy? It might sound like a dumb queestion, maybe it is. But if you are sincerly afraid then you need to go to the police and have this addressed immediately. What kind of work are you at? Is there secruity...

Ever seen the movie The Edge? Three guys lost in the mountains, being stalked by a Grizzly? Each one reacts differently. Very intresting to me. Anger can be a tool to survive or a weight to hold you down. Flight can be a retreat to safety or a retreat from growth. Hmm O

Your family will feel much worse if you do not get the help you need. Chat rooms and online friendships are risky. Ask yourself why you keep going back to them. A very good book for you to take a loo at is called The Gift Of Fear, by Gavin De Becker. It talks about how you can learn when you...

It seems to happen to most of us. I took a drug called Cesamet. It is a sythetic form of Marijuana, and it helped with nightmares and sleep came much easier. I like the body pillow idea, it cussioned the blows on my husband. O

Maybe its a Canadian thing! Mine tickled too! O

Band-aids get infected. I personally think of meds as scaffolding, it helps hold you up in the right spots and, when you are ready you take away what you don't need until one day... you are standing on your own. Saying "you should have" this -or - that is not helpful. You begin now, and the...

Happy anniversary!!!! I do not think that telling your wife would just be words. If you tell someone who loves you and knows you, they care and it pains them to know the hurt you carry. It also can be relieving for them because at least they know what is happening a little better than before...

I have made a goal that for the next month I cut my potions in 1/2, snacking only on fruit or raw vegs. O

You have a RIGHT to be heard. In screams and in words, in tears or wails... What ever sound you choose to make-you have a right to have it heard. Do not be afraid to share that here, you will not be judged but praised for the courage it takes to let all that horrible pain out. I will listen! O

This too shall pass..this too shall pass...this too shall pass... O

As I understand it, you are still fairly new at understanding PTSD am I right? In the begining it can kinda feel like walking into a room that is filled with all the food you have to eat in one year. Daunting! But really all we can do is sit down and take one bite at a time. PTSD in the begining...

I really do not know. There are may be day teatment programs offered through CAMH, but I am not sure how you could go about getting refered to one. One advantage on this forum is that 24 hrs a day, 7 days a week you can be in contact as needed with support. We are not Pro councilors here...

Type what ever you want. It is just an invitation to say what ever you want here. Some people start from scratch, some start with what is on their mind for that day... It always helps to get thoughts out of our heads and let others know what is going on. Communication is vital to get through...

When I am pissed I think of kicking puppies and dead kittens. That usually brings my anger down a bit, cuz then I feel sad... O
