Hi everyone, So lately I've been having these very self-violent intrusive thoughts that play over and over in my head and almost sound like someone telling me to hurt myself. I don't think they're auditory hallucinations; they're more like my own voice repeating very rapidly in my head until I...

Hello everyone, Today I was discharged from the hospital, where I spent the last four days inpatient with suicidal ideation/close to an attempt. The day before I was admitted, I had heavily contemplated throwing myself into traffic, crashing my car, or cutting my wrists, and was incredibly...

I'm really upset. I was having a good week or two with significantly reduced symptoms, and I was generally having a dandy time. I thought I had finally found medications that would help me - I've been on the meds merry-go-round for about seven months now, and I thought that the Prozac and...

Friends, I share wonderful news: I have been accepted to the University of Alabama - Birmingham with a Presidential Recognition scholarship (tuition and fees) and an invitation to the Honors College!! I am beyond ecstatic. This is such a great step forward. It's hard to think that just a few...

Hello everyone, Lately, I've been feeling really guilty about not getting better quicker. I've been diagnosed since April and I feel like I should have made some sort of improvement by now, but it doesn't seem like I have. Whenever I talk to my therapist or psychiatrist, I get the feeling that...

My therapist recommended that I begin EMDR since my current therapy doesn't seem to be helping me very much. Has anyone tried EMDR? What were are your thought about it? What should I expect? xx

Hello everyone, Lately, I've been feeling extremely suicidal, with plans to either overdose on Zoloft or crash my car going ~90 mph. The strangest thing about it is that I'm suicidal at the same time that I'm not. It's not so much that I want to die but that I want to hurt myself in a terrible...

Hello everyone, So my mom refuses to believe that I'm suffering from PTSD. She believes instead that I have mild depression and GAD-- and I do have GAD and depression, but my depression is severe-- and that I don't have PTSD at all. I don't know how to convince her otherwise. I've been...

I mean just honestly Anyway, right now I feel like screaming and pulling my hair out and I'm trying really hard not to self harm. I'm having flashbacks of the event and I feel like my skull is splitting apart. I was raped by my brother's friend when I was around nine or so and was sexually...

I always feel like I'm overreacting or catastrophizing, etc whenever I think about them, but for months I've been considering getting a service dog for my PTSD. I didn't fully realize until I attempted suicide and was subsequently hospitalized how greatly I would benefit from a service dog. I've...

Hey everybody, I'm not sure what to do right now. I'm so anxious, I feel like I'm verging on a panic attack and I can't seem to calm down. I've tried grounding activities, writing it out, listening to music, and drawing so far, but my brain feels like it's about to burst. It's that strange kind...

Has anyone ever used Vraylar before? I've been on it for a few days and have been feeling this strange weakness and restlessness in my calves. Anyone else experience similar side effects? Has Vraylar worked for anyone? xx

I'm not sure if this counts as self-harm or not, but lately I've had this gross fascination with burning myself. Whenever I'm cooking, I intentionally try to hit my hand on the skillet or oven walls and see if I will burn myself. So far, I've succeeded about six times, mainly on my fingers and...

Hello everyone! My name is Miaoqing and I've been diagnosed with PTSD for about six months, though I have been feeling its effects for at least two years. In addition to PTSD, I suffer from panic disorder, GAD, and major depression. I was sexually abused when I was in elementary school, and...
