I LOVE scaring people, well mostly my husband, but nothing releases tension like a huge scream. If it happens again, scream as hard as you can and then see who's more embarrassed you or the other person. A loud enough scream could make them scream too! Seriously though, try and lighten up a...

Pixie, when a little bird first learns to stretch out its wings and get ready for flight, it feels a little weird for them too. Your stretching new wings. "Wings of new understandings". Enjoy the newness of the experiences and new thoughts you are having. Your growing!:clap: O

I think your T is right. You may be eager to know what your little one means but you may not be ready. I believe that our minds are very kind to us in a way. It only gives us what it thinks we are strong enough to face. Some might disagree but even with the most painful memories if you figure...

Stabilization can also mean being physically safe with oneself. IF PTSD is running wild and a person is suicidal they need to be stabilized before continuing treatment. This takes time and a person may stay in the hospital for some time just to be observed. Also to see if a certain type of...

There is a huge variety of degrees in any illness. How each person suffers is unique. Your trauma is unique to you. The thing we have in common is usually the side effects. You may run into someone who has had very similar trauma as you but that isn't the point. There is a ton of help here for...

Slow down! You sound like you are getting way ahead of yourself. It is completely normal at the beginning stages of Therapy to look at all that you want to figure out and freak out a little about how you will ever be able to do it all. Just start by sitting down in the Therapist office. Say...

Hi Pixie I am not one for letting sympathy over run wellness, so let me just say what I think is important. I know it can feel very daunting to think about how much further you have to go, but saying "sorry " and making :stupid: signs about your taking a teddy bear is not going to help you...

Maybe your Guy should Try an EQ test. Emotional Equivalence. There is debate as to the fact that the it is the EQ test that more actually ascertain a persons success in life. It has to do with how you relate to others, how you see yourself compared to others. Are you open minded and reasonable...

Hi Miss! Welcome to the forum! This is a great place for you to find support, even on a day to day basis. So, today is the day huh? I found that Anniversaries bothered me for much longer than I had at first realized. Before I really understood PTSD, I just thought that weird things just...

Finally! We are supposed to get a whopper of a storm tonight! I think most would agree that something mysterious happens every winter. Everyone seems to need to re-learn how to drive. They all forget as soon as the snow melts! S L O W D O W N !! I'm really looking forward to seeing my Puppies...

Hi Nicky There is really no need to say sorry for making your relationship a greater priority than this forum. Eventually everyone has to -hopefully. I guess if a person who loves me lied to me at first I would be furious. Then I would wonder their motives. Were they simply afraid of facing the...

Whatever you are doing, keep yourself a Top Priority. Make sure you do not neglect those who support and appreciate you. Looking forward to your visits here however brief they may be. If you don't have much time you can always use the SMILES-they say so much! :hello: O

Please remember that your inner child needs more than just soothing words. They also need to see you strong. YOU are the proof that they are safe and made it through the trauma. The hardest part is over. YOU SURVIVED, now you have to reassure them that they are safe now and that you cherish how...

It is good to ask oneself which is better.. To mean a girl at once or at last. The waiting for the right person will be worth while. It will never work if you force it. A dinner date can feel kinda formal-like your interviewing each other. That's kinda tough. How about next time going for a walk...

I live a few blocks from a Cadbury Chocolate factory and there are days when the air is so thick with the smell of caramel and chocolate that you can almost taste it. O

I would say that Withdrawal can be about stepping back and taking the time to collect ones thoughts. Isolation is hiding from oneself and their fears. IMO in both cases you have to give the person the time and space that they need. Without silence of some type we cannot grow or heal. If the...

I had this perfect moment, some time ago and haven't thought about it in a long time. Picture this.. A hot summer day with out a cloud in the sky. Standing next to a beautiful, sleepy horse. The buzz of insects flying around. THEN I slide my hand under the horses mane. Its cool to the touch. I...

I am thankful for my Children and my Amazing Husband. I am thankful for the day I finally thought "What if there is another way of thinking?" I am thankful for animals-Most of the time they make way more sense than people. I am thankful for the smell of rain, the sound of the wind, the warmth...

Fly dear Johnny, FLY!:occasion: O

Ok, so here's the rule. It cannot be for yourself only. It must include others as well... Mine? I wish the whole world would learn from its fears. And you? O

Hi She Cat, So you've been at this long enough to know that the anger is only healthy for a short period of time. Anger tells you that you were unjustly treated, repeated anger tells you that it is time to learn what is behind it and through understanding it, you eliminate the sense of rage...

Could be meds, could be anxiety. Try fruit-it is filling healthy and non fating. POMEGANITS are great for this. They are challenging to eat and so rewarding when you find the treasure of those little rubies in side! Seriously, stay away from all the processed sugar, it is bad for you.:naughty: O

We live in a stupid world that tells women that life is over after 25. The world can bit my cellulite ass. My boobs may sag from breast feeding, sometimes I think I could braid them if I wanted too. SO what, My husband says they are softer. He likes the back end of me just fine too! Lets face it...

:Hug_emoticon:Hi Pixie. Sounds like you've been hit pretty hard this time huh? I think that it is a really great sign that you are still trying to self sooth. Try not to panic because you haven't found the right method for this one yet. There is the important word. Yet. You will. Have you tried...

Hi C, Be Careful to not confuse self sabotage with just trying to remain active and functioning outside the realm of PTSD. If He has only had 6 sessions he is at the very very very early stages of treatment. There will be plenty of challenges ahead, for years to come. When PTSD is in full swing...
