    Anyone get sleep paralysis?

    Sleep paralysis rarely includes trauma stuff. So it sounds like a double whammy. Do not sleep on your back, sleep paralysis occurs mostly on you back somtimes side, but almost neveron your stomach and should go away compleatly by mid to late 20's

    News Reverse classism/being afraid of germany or germans

    I think wht @Justmehere was pointing out is that your stress bleeds into this thread, so I don't see it as off topic at all. But it is your thread. I think most people know that modern Germany is nothing like WWII Germany just like most people know that America no longer has slavery. Imigrant...

    Do you mention it when you are not x, what ever x may be

    The way I see it is you are basically saying, "I have an opinion about topic x but I dont have first hand experiance." Or you are giving people a heads up about what to expect from you. I think all of those examples had a good reason for saying them.

    Relationship My girlfriend's nightmares

    For goodness sakes don't try and wake her up. She probably didn't know that she was violent in her sleep untill you guys started living together. I was clueless until I my husband moved in. It was only because he told me that I knew. I remember nightmares but not the ones that make me thrash...

    Poll Does one partner want sex more than the other (in your relationship)?

    Ok, I just wasn't sure, as that is such a hot and emotional topic it seemed lime what you were getting at. I appologise. I probably subscribe to more emotional and ideological debate, but I am not one for right versis left paradigm. There is too much division and loyalties that prevent people...

    How do you define bravery as opposed to cowardice?

    Well said @Freida. If you are working on difficult things in therapy, it probably is a good thing not address a fear pf fireworks at that time because it could cause therapy to backfire by addressing more than you can handle at one time. @Never_falter I think you were brave on your bike even if...

    Hellish birtdayparty

    And what if he doesnt come to you? You have nothing to appologise for. Perhaps next time you could say that you dont feel well. He would look like a jerk to everyone else if he didn't take you home. Of couse it would be nicer if he did it because he wants to show you he cares about your...

    My symptoms feel too severe to be ptsd

    I hope that other peoples experiances here can be validating for you. There are times when when my skin just hurts to bad to touch anything because I am so overwhelmed and hypersensitive. I have heard people say panic attacks dont last more than 20 minutes but mine can last for 8 hours. Fear...

    What's wrong with me? :(

    @SilverLake I understand what you are aiming at, and it sounds good in theory. Unfortunately, even if one doesnt pay attention to the date, or doesnt connect a traumatic event to the cause of their PTSD, people still tend to become symptomatic around anniversaries. I do like your idea of...

    Undiagnosed Do i have ptsd?

    @Esterio exactly. There could be a very real possibility you have ptsd, we just can't make that determination. Also, it wouldnt affect job opertunities. It isnt an employers business unless you choose to disclose.

    It has never been proven to exist in the form portrayed in movies and stuff, but I was jusy reading that everyone has it to some degree. I cant rememember conversations well at all but I can recallthe imagery and the emotions and have used it yo locate missing things, I just cant choose what...
