Most likely, yes. If you've got more specific concerns, please share them with me by posting to Contact Us, thanks.

I find the topic interesting, because it's pretty impossible to really 'solve'. I wrestle with it, because I don't invoke it as often as I have a legal right to, and I'm not quite sure why I don't just use the law the ways I'm entitled to. So, reading up on the details of how this works in...

Hi @WinterResearch - you've posted the same study as @LJS ; so I've locked this thread and removed your link. If you have questions, please ask them via Contact Us. Thanks.

I'm curious, does the program you were approved for also offer any grants or funds? Or, they've approved you, but your insurance won't co-pay?

You're making a lot of sense. What do you think about pausing the current EMDR work to prioritize getting some clinical clarity on whether or not you're dealing with ASD? I just think trying too many things at once can make it hard to tell what's what.

Hi @baltimoregator - welcome to the site. Can I ask - has your partner abused you in other ways?

No one here is a doctor or qualified to diagnose, so take this if it's useful - I think it would depend on the severity of the situation, and the degree to which you yourself (as a child) were in fear for your life. I'd caution you to be careful of the comparisons, though - I understand what...

I'm really glad to read this - having an advocate is a helpful thing. Before the visit, you and your husband should try and sit down and talk through the timeline of your current symptoms; when things started getting very bad. You may find that there's more of a straight line towards being...

An essential element for me is making sure I'm using therapy as a container for the stuff that might leak out into my interpersonal functioning. And actually being very mindful about how I frame what's going on with me, when I'm asked how I am, and I don't want to just give the...

I do disagree - but speaking only as a treatment for depression. I think the follow-up wave of companies conducting research to get protocols approved for other diagnoses...that's where I'd agree, there's an overreach. But the science behind the mechanism of action for depression is sound, and...

Very well-put. I think that's exactly it.

I strongly identify with this, and agree - well done!!!

I've had TMS for depression. My understanding is that the protocol for PTSD is slightly different, though the machine does what it does. For depression, it did help me a little, but not in a lasting way, and I'm not sure why. I can tell you that it's pretty uncomfortable, physically - you...

Hi @andreeab - welcome. I'd like to ask - you said you're working with a therapist. Have you been diagnosed with any mental/physical health issues beyond CPTSD, and do you take any medications?

I'm sorry, I can't recall - are you dealing with a single trauma event, or multiple traumas over time (in terms of the EMDR work, specifically)? I think that can make a difference, as far as how many years practicing EMDR the therapist has. BUT - it's also very possible for someone to be...

I think one of the toughest things about addressing mental health is that there's a great deal of overlap between disorders, and no completely empirical way to arrive at a definitive answer. My own way through that is to try and focus on what is most real and immediate for me - the things that...

Bouncing off this quote, but replying to the thread - Because of the existence of the FHA - the presumption is that the individual with the assistance animal has the right to bring that animal into their housing. The burden of challenge rests on the landlord. The landlord must engage in good...

Sorry, I'm having trouble following... Is it related to things in this other thread of yours? Your title says "getting punished for other people's actions", but it sounds from your post like you do think there is an action you are responsible for.

Don't be mad - just go get help. Hope has nothing to do with any of it. @Weemie is right - you may not be dealing with PTSD at this point. But it's not unusual to struggle after major shit goes down in one's life. Figuring out how to confront and ultimately accept and then more forward from...

Well, once you add self-medicating (with alcohol, recreational drugs, herbal remedies, foods, etc.) - it starts to look like a much larger percentage of the population is taking some kind of substance to help them with anxiety. I also think it can be harder to do the things that take longer to...

I gave it a try, but couldn't get through the entire thing. I'm not sure what that means. (@LJS - you might consider a 'skip to the end' option, if you want to retain any useable data from a partly finished submission) For any members considering it - it didn't get especially difficult...

HI @cyb3rbirdie - welcome to the forum! And thanks for pointing out that English is a second language for you. If you ever think something might be getting lost in translation, please feel free to ask for clarification. If you need help one how to use the forum, you can reach moderators by...

Welcome to the forum, @Warrior767 - glad you found us and hope this is a useful resource for you.

People who do this are usually not nearly as talented or capable as they say they are. The only exception to that in the medical field IMO might be brain and spinal surgeons...they seem to be genuinely hyper-competitive and have an excess of confidence. So unless this doc is going to be...

Since the OP is a troll, and the post is made-up: locked.
