Norma Welcome to the forum.. there are so many great people here that have helped me already.. I'm a new member. From what I'm learning, talking about what happened is really important.. (at your own pace). I have children too, and I'm sure you want to take away the pain for him.. you're...

sorry Irish My brain is apparently still fried since yesterday.. I typed that entry for YOU, and accidentally put Norma's name on it.. It was directed at you.. hope you're hanging in there, as we all are trying to do. :loopy:

hi Norma Welcome to the forum.. I wish I had words of wisdom for you, unfortunately I'm feeling the same way right now.. I was only diagnosed about a year ago, and am still struggling to understand it. Coping is minute by minute right now.. It sounds like your partner needs to get informed...

Just got back from the shrink.. :crazy-eye boy am I exhausted. Stopped at the bookstore and picked up a few that you all have recommended.. oh yeah.. and a 'relaxation cd' .. ha ha.. I'll believe it when I hear it. I feel sad, worn out, frustrated, hopeless, angry, fed up, you name it. My...

Deja Vu Wayne, other than your name and your quad bypass, I would swear that you're really my husband incognito.. Identical!! I was fired unfairly from my job (damn PTSD) that was last april, my husband's mother suddenly passed away in july.. constant turmoil in household with blended...

ok.. Here I go again.. I hope its not a ramble.. its a confession/realization, I dont know what. My dad left us when I was 11, my mom (who passed away when I was 22) was strong and independent. She, without any help, financial or otherwise from my dad, raised us to be the same. "Dont ever rely...

Thank you.. I wish I could help you guys the way you help me.. elvis.. I feel ya.. I'm sitting here in tears, AGAIN. I'm supposed to see my shrink today, not real thrilled about it. I dont think she has the experience with PTSD that I need. She seems to be more about 'family & marriage...

Hi Julie, welcome to the forum. Take a little comfort in knowing that you have a support group here.. no judging.. just people living with the same thing and helping each other through it, day by day. :redface:

Veiled.. more than you know, thank you Veiled.. you make sense.. I guess first I have to figure out and admit what was traumatic for me. I'm so used to stuffing the feelings and just 'sucking it up'. I have so many holes in my life.. things I cannot remember.. I think just making myself...

thank you Elvis & Theresa.. thank you so much for your response.. for a minute there I thought everyone was stumped by my question or else everyone thought I was nuts. I'd give anything to be a tidy little onion right now!! I'm looking back at all of my 'events' right now too.. there are...

frustrated & hopeless me too.. I'm sorry.. I wish I could make you feel better.. I wish I could make me feel better. I'm so close to the 'bottom' I cant see the top.. I know its there somewhere.. just keep hanging on.. and know that you're not by yourself.:frown:

"I will survive", "Silent Lucidity", "You dont own me", I try to listen to something peaceful, or something with strength. (Not 'angry' music..):music:

If there have been multiple 'trauma' events in my life, how do I know that the one I'm being 'treated' for is really the one causing the problem? How do you know which trauma was really the beginning? (I'm so confused!!) :doh:

Thank you Mouse.. my poor husband is really trying to understand.. I think the problem is more me. There have been contributing factors over the years in our marriage.. but it over the last few weeks, something inside of me has 'shut off'. I cant work on 'me' when there is so much negativity...

yeah, uggh Yeah, I said to my husband, do my boobs look bigger??? I got the usual.. 'yeah honey, they look great.' It was pretty funny.. I got horrible nightmares from Ambien, Seroquel didnt work for me.. but the Xanax ER seems to be helping for the most part.

ahh sleep I was sooo bad yesterday, I spent the entire day in bed.. Xanax after Xanax, trying to keep the panic away between catnaps. I dont sleep well at night.. I cant turn off my brain. I have very vivid dreams, sometimes they make sense, and other times I have know idea where it came...

Hi Red Welcome.. I'm new here too.. pretty much the same feeling about treatments as you. Although I haven't had anyone recommend voodoo stuff.. hey, at this point I'll try anything. The best thing about this forum is that you have found people like yourself. You dont need to feel like...

oh, got it k. I got it.. thank you..

new at this veiled.. sorry.. which doc do you mean and where is it? I'm still trying to work my way around this place. Thank you

Just when I thought I was starting to feel an eek of myself coming through, I got slammed right back to bottom. I'm on the verge of leaving my marriage, feeling like I need/want to be alone. (Yet terrified at the thought of it) I tried to explain PTSD to him, he even read a couple of entries on...

I'm you Elvis.. I feel like I'm you, or you're me.. other people seem to have had far worse things in thier lives, I feel embarassed with my issues, Its like I dont feel worthy of feeling this badly. Reading this forum is good and bad for me.. the best thing about it, is that I dont feel...

bad Bad day, bad week.. the worst.. cant eat.. cant sleep.. want to move out.. I'm soooo done. uggh.

I've been grinding my teeth for years !!! I never made a connection til now. wow. Thank you !!

wow Elvis.. I with you.. right where you are. So many feelings.. yet I feel nothing. I'm scared, antisocial.. even with my own family. This week is the worst in a long time, Xanax here I am. I feel like all those little icons to the right, rolled into one big ugly one. The only bright spot...

I'm sorry Poet.. sometimes there is NOTHING you can say. You just have to give him space. I'm sure he feels like crap every time he lashes out at you. What he says to you cant be taken back, and you are hurt even though he didnt mean it. I've been and am on both sides of this. You're right in...
