Glad to see you here. Welcome. You are definitely not alone.

you fit both here and there. I speak for myself but I'm sure the others feel the same. You aren't intruding. We just want you to get well so you'd benefit from that forum also. I forgot to add. I'd make sure you block him on facebook just to be safe. I'd hate to have him contact you.

I took the assessments first as you did then presented them to both my doctor and therapist which sufficed for them as a diagnosis. As for your parents I also understand, I moved back home at 26 so I'm a little dependant on them. Whether this is your situation or not or you just would rather...

I hope this finds you feeling better. I've been on the depression rollercoaster since my teens. In this site, I find solace (( hugs to you all)). I understand how you are feeling. Part of the PTSD I have comes from an incident when I was 10. I'm not going into it just yet but suffice to...

I just lost a dog my family raised from birth ( his brother was my dog). It hit me hard. We grew up together. So I totally understand. My emotions are raw and I feel vulnerable. So you are not alone.

I had a bad incident about a year ago. My boyfriend was breaking up with me ( totally respectfully , none of this is his fault). I lost it I started calling him my abuser's name saying 'why don't you just f***ing hit me, we know you like doing it.' Then I took his hand and put it to my throat...

congrats. Hope those insults went straight to what's left of his heart. If I faced my abusers i doubt I'd handle it as well. you should be proud of you and your children.

cool. Is there a way I can train my dog? He'd be perfect. He, as yours does, does many of the functions anyway. But It'd be nice if I could take him more places.

actually he's a a Rat terrier. they have some similar foundation breeds. I like to think they are cousin breeds. I'm glad I'm here too. But thinking about that night hurts me. I feel guilty and angry and don't know how to deal with it.

I'm dealling with the far and anger. Guilt for not leaving sooner. realizing the abuse was not my fault nor did I deserve it.

I have trouble being open about it also. My parents know about it but they don't beleive it. That's why I come here. no judgements. Everyone here is caring and helpful as we are all in the same boat. Many of us have had the same experiences.

I hear ya. I've been there. I even googled the guy who assaulted me to convince myself he wasn't here. I'm between therapists as I left an abusive situation. I take it a day at time.

I went through all kinds of tests ( at one point they thought I had porphyria) It took me doing my own searching to put all this together. Keep your head up.

welcome to the forum. This place is warm, supportive environment. We are in various stages of healing. I wish you the best and don't hesitate to ask.

the anger monster plagues me often. I fly off the handle sometimes. it's scary. I have a hair-trigger when it comes to percieved threats. Even somebody pushing me in the store can set me off. Needless to say shopping can be difficult. i'm tired of the comments like ' you aren't the same...

I was stressed from work and bills and the time. I was having flashbacks ( I slept 4-6hrs a night). I just wanted it to stop. I couldn't even go to work without feeling threatened. I was so confused and had no idea what was going on as I ignorantly felt PTSD was a military thing. But my...

I don't blame you. I was afraid to go to sleep for the longest time. I'd wake up screaming. I mediate sometimes. Oddly just telling myself over and over before bed that I'm alone in my room and I'm fine works sometimes.

yeah , i was on buspar and that seemed to help but I wanted to try not taking it. I'm going to a new therapist som maybe I should go on it again.

True. I miss cuddling and closeness. But I'm afraid to let someone close again. For fear that they'd physically harm me or kill me. Plus if my own parents can't believe me, how I am I supposed to convince a boyfriend? It sucks, I can't sit on the same bed as my without shaking and he's NEVER...

you're right and I appologize. I left out an important part. I do get hungry but I won't eat. Especially when stressed. But I like losing weight, even though I have a BMI of 20 and I am at the low end of normal for my height. My life was out of control for so long it seemed like the only...

About a year ago., I tried to commit suicide. I was overwhelmed and angry. i drank way to much and tried to cut myself. Luckily, it didn't work. Then I decided to call the ambulance. I was terrified. I was undiagnosed at the time and I had no idea what was going on.

I'm proud of you. It's difiicult. I was in your shoes. It scared me. But I got into good therapy. It saved my life. You've taken the first step to help you heal.

I have an issue with food. I'll go days without eating and when I do eat, it's not much. I'm scared. I was wondering if this is common. My therapist thinks this a substitute for my drinking. That I'm grabbing for control in my life.

my parents are like that. They don't understand what's going on my head sometimes. Tey say 'well, you're over reacting relax.' or 'you're making it up'. It's kind of frustrating. I'd rather be left alone most times but my mother thinks I should socialize more. But I rather not.

me neither. He's definitely a therapy dog for me, even though he's not certified as one. Plus I'm convinced and i trust his judgement .
