You haven't seen the last of me...Cher. Powerful lyrics that make you feel bolder in life

I am so sorry that you and your family are having to drag out this obsessive behavior from your ex. As we all know...they get off on control during the abuse and HATE giving it up after you get away from them. I wish I could say "trust the system" but you have to be on your guard with them my...

The last time I had to go to court and take notes against my ex (for molesting our three boys and abusing me), I started to shake so bad I couldn't read my own hand writing. After a few shaky lines I started the audio recorder on my phone and taped it all. It helped my therapist better...

Mytai..good luck tomorrow. I am glad that some form of justice of being served for you. I hope that your coping strategies are helping. You are more than that. I used to do the same because I felt pain was the only thing that was real. I will be thinking of you tomorrow and sending all my...

@LostAgain.. please be careful dearest..you are a very important person in this world and you deserve to feel safe in your own home. Document what you can and be safe. I didn't get a lot of evidence against my ex and still after six years I still have people say that I lied. Even after they hear...

I would completely agree that is has destroyed my ability to have a relationship. We argue and I know that what I am fighting for is right but then I start to question if I am doing the right thing. Am I right or should I just be quiet before I get hurt again. They tell me that I don't have an...

I can understand a lot of what you are feeling. Sometimes the overwhelming abundance of "normal" life tends to weigh us down harder than most. I never thought that I would survive a lot of my problems...that I too didn't have the strength. But I would look at my children as they slept and...

Thank you. This was very interesting for me as not only do I have PTSD, but three children diagnosed as well. Their therapist has them all scheduled for a neuro-psychological exam in the next few weeks. This is a great thread as now I know what questions I can ask the doctor about the testing.

I had a conference with the special education teacher at my son's school regarding "behavioral problems" due to his "issue". She kept asking me if the therapist was sure that it was PSTD (not misspelled...that is what she called it). She proceeded to refer to it as PSTD six more times until...

This year I am celebrating the 14th anniversary of my 29th birthday :p

Hello and welcome. When you are ready we are here to listen. Plenty of patience. Best wishes for you in the meantime.

Hi...you are doing the right thing by asking yourself these questions before you get married. But I would have to agree with the others that you need to talk to someone. If your fiance doesn't know about your past do you trust him enough to tell him? I can't say anything about the relationship...

Thank you. Actually very helpful. I thought it was just me. And there is actually lots of therapy...almost too much (state mandated). I wouldn't mind a weekly session, but they have anywhere from 3-5 people a day three days a week. It has been causing major chaos. Actually started having...

I am trying to find out any input I can on what everyone thinks of these two. I had taken the benztropine for a while when they put my kids on it I had to stop and think though. They don't really help me much, and they have been causing some more headaches. but my main worry is that they had...

Funny you mentioned this. I have 3 boys with PTSD and they keep telling me that it is ADHD. They gave my oldest stimulants saying that it would help calm and focus him. I have never ran so much in my life as I did with a child hopped up on adderall and misdiagnosed. I was just reading the...

Hello Veronica. I can understand completely. I am a Mom with PTSD and a parent to three boys diagnosed as well. They are all a few years younger than your daughter but let me be the first to tell you...it is not an easy road you have ahead. As much as I would like to say otherwise. The first...

Hello. I hope that things will improve for you soon. There is also a National Resource Directory for service members, their families as well as Veterans that can link you to a variety of national agencies...local and state agencies and philanthropic organizations that can possibly help with...

Culture aside, what a jerk! But you can run into that anywhere I would expect. My motto has been that 'If your life is so perfect, then why do you care about mine?' Most of the time it is just some ignorant person that is trying to make themselves feel better after they are pushed around or...

I can completely understand how you are feeling right now as I was there just a few short days ago. I only get child support from our abuser and he manages to control that as well. I have three children with PTSD as well as having PTSD and MDD myself. I agree with the others that it is...

Hi, I am Amy. I moved to New Bern about 10 months ago. I don't know if you will get this but I would love to help out any way I can. Just message me and I will get right back to you.

Hello, all. I am Amy and I just relocated to New Bern, NC. If you are still looking for Drs. I was doing some research and they have a couple of PTSD specialists in the Charlotte area. If I can help please feel free to send me a message. I not only suffer from it but care for my three boys...

I'm sorry to hear that something you should be enjoying has caused such pain. It is hard (I've found) to realize exactly what your triggers are until it pops up in life. We always have the mental list after the fact of what are triggers are and try to avoid them but something new can show up...

Not really a joke, but someone might get a giggle...I was talking to my youngest sons teacher one day when I was called in for a conference. They staff was asking me about his problems when the teacher pipes up with how she had been trying to look it up but could find nothing related to PSTD...

I have two of my boys on abilify, and one on sereoquel. They started on it a couple years ago and were doing okay. They gained weight and still have some nightmares. After being taken off of it for a while their symptoms increased and the mood swings were crippling. Both are back on it now and...

I took prazosin for about a month. I also have narcolepsy and take adderall during the day. The took me off and switched me to clonidine..then another,lisinopril, and will be going in for a different one tomorrow. I suffered a mild stroke due to interactions, and chemistry. But I am glad to...
