Sometimes this topic can be a bit triggering. and when one person wants to joke, another may not. I am sure that Growing pains was in NO way wanting to make light of this thread. And I have to say that I am a fighter, always have been. And I did go to bars and pick fights. Not wise. Now I...

I cannot really say an answer to the test results being faulty, I really do not know. But years ago I read some where that people with DID can have alters with tumors, false pregnancies etc. The muscle structure in the face can seem to re-shape itself when shifting to different atlers and such...

As difficult as it may be to believe, once you are on the other side of this, You will be a much wiser and stronger person who has huge insights into yourself. I have a seven year old son too. You do not have to have it all together to be a good dad. Showing him that you are human and that even...

So this movie is e few years old. Probably more of a guy pick. Very violent, but I found it facinating. The story goes that this young man has been kept captive for years by some Horrible crime lord. The Young mans purpose is to attack, beat of kill on command of his master. The young guy has...

Cesemet is a synthetic form of marijuana. It was prescribed to me to help me with nightmares. It was the only thing that worked. I have never heard of anyone else mentioning this drug here, but... O

It has been brought up many times by many people here that PTSD can make you feel like you need to hurry up and get better. No one wants to feel this way. But If you look at it as a journey and not a reace it helps. Slow and steady is the way to go. we walk before we run. This must be...

What a great post. Way to go in fighting the negative and looking for the possitive. Well done. I get what you mean about your kids. I have 17 and 7 year old boys. They go hot and cold on me all the time. Sometimes I just want to say "Pick a mood!" I love them maddly. A good dog is more...

I wonder what you mean by Proud Owner... Is this sarcsim? It is only natural to feel resentful of PTSD, especially if we have not yet gained a handle on it. I do not share the view that PTSD is the enemy though. PTSD represents painful injuries that scream out that they need recognition and...

Not all progress is visible. The everyday stuff is a part of the reality of life. It can help us stay grounded. It is also a way of measuring the degree of your coping skills. "Life goes on"-THANK GOODNESS. O

That was my thought too! O

It takes time to find a med that suits you. I would mention to your Therapist that the meds make you ill. Don't worry, they are bound to have another type to offer! Therapist are usually pretty sympathetic. With hope, O

In my Worst dissociation episode, I overdosed. It was terrifying. I woke up in the hospital with family firends beside me and I had NO idea what to say. My poor husband and children were terrified too. Greatfully that never happened again, but it took years for my husband to leave me alone in a...

Happiness is an intresting topic. It kinda reminds me of romance. Some where a long time ago am man gave flowers and chocolate to a woman. From then on the bar was set and any man who wanted to show a girl he liked her, he had to have flowers and chocolate in his hands. Not all people even like...

When dealing with stupid and selfish people I remind myself of the saying "When people show you who they are, believe them". I had to ask myself why my sister, mother, father's behavior continually shocked me. The shock was more upsetting than the actual actions. I realized tha I didn't need...

I have had several close friends who were/are cutters. There is nothing poetic or healing about it. In fact they are not cutting at all to heal. It is more like they cut in an effort to release emotional agony. One of the Horrors of PTSD is that emotions can cause real physical pain. A cutter...

Yep And it is usually because there is something in the lyrics that rings true for how I was feeling. So I would go home, Find the song on the internet, Play it LOUD and it would go away. For a while they were two songs that I needed to hear over and over. Johnny Cash's HURT, and Dixie Chicks...

There are Human "Doings" and Human "BEINGS" In My Opinion. Most people fear what they do not understand and we live in a world where there are plenty of distractions for people to use in order to never have to stop and think about their actions. PTSD stops us and makes us reflect. I consider...

Hi there, I am glad that you are here. I think you will find many helpful opinions and very caring people to talk too. The question I wonder if you need to ask yourself is... What are you afraid to know? The fear of actually drinking and not rememebering it or just thinking that you are...

I tell my son that nervousness is just excitment that hasn't made up its mind yet. O

Stevie Ray Vaghn does a version of Little Wing that blows me away every time I hear it. If CPTSD could be music, to me it would be this. O

Hi Pandora, I'm in Ontario too so I know what you mean about the grey skies. Something you might wanna try is taking a walk at night. Winter nights are beautiful. Quiet and white. Things feel still you know? We are supposed to get some snow in the next few nights. Dress warm, walk slow and...

Way to go! O
