So glad I was actually able to make a difference so many years ago! I know I am not around as often and only pop in and out but to all that helped me through the years including you Herc...a big thank you!
About eight years ago I applied for cpp in Ontario and was denied. So then I applied for a disability tax credit, appealed and won. I appealed the cpp too but lost, that was 8 years ago. Does anyone know if I reapply for cpp now that I qualify for the disability tax credit will they take it off...
It still happens to me.....all the time, especially if I am stressed out or someone is yelling at me and then I go on to do things like organize and forget where I put everything.....drives my son and boyfriend crazy! Bottom line..its ok during a therapy session but if someone yells at me I shut...
IMO..it has slowed my recovery..some days Im too sore to cope with anything! Even getting into a shower when I know I shoud be taking care of myself some days just moving I want to cry..a day like today...the weather has changed, its raining and damp and I feel very sad and defeated, this is not...
I have both a physical disability....degenerated and torn discs, kinked spinal cord along with PTSD...it definitely has been a battle, an uphill battle. Good luck with you healing.
Feeling the same way, even though my life has taken a turn for the better, I am loved and supported but I am tired, lethargic and apathetic...I cannot wait for christmas to be over!
As some of you may remember me and some may not my symptoms are increased memories and therefore I want to numb out. I have had a control over this for almost three years with a few relapses. My mother who I have been sharing a home with and she has been both verbally abusive to me and my son...
My nightmares come out when my stress levels go through the roof. I do have prescriptions though. I know you want to stay med free and that I think is great but I take immovane and it has an amnesic effect so you don't remember if you dream or not. I took them every night for a very long...
I usually remember the nightmares...I only stay at my boyfriends on the weekend...I told him too wake me up and he just tells me its ok and reminds me where I am and that I am safe, that helps. At home...I swear my dog knows..I will wake up with her pretty much sitting on my head! I find that...
I have done this too many times to count. I know it is not healthy but I still get torn between feeling lonely and then wanting to isolate and shut the world out and then not wanting to be alone because I feel so lonely. I guess for me it has become a viscous cycle.
By 30..I was married two times. I think it often causes relationship problems unless you have had therapy and are working to improve this and relationships in general.
I do it, for me when I do it, I feel good. I have a bit to spend but I think it activates the endorphins that make you feel good. I call it retail therapy...it is something that makes me feel good and sometimes lets us forget and get out of the mindless chatter that at least goes on in my brain.
After sending in my information the sheet came back with I am not disabled enough? I also have 8 herniated/torn discs along with PTSD. I have been on disability 8 years....because I honestly cannot work, I want to work, I am a nurse and worked hard for that. Does anyone have any suggestions or...
I have a morky..half maltese..half yorkie. She is my best friend and a reason..if I nightmare, I generally wake up with her sitting on my head and licking my face to wake me up. That is her picture on my profile. The best decision I made and it helped me with my PTSD.
Thanx Gloria....me too! Society really is not the problem for me...I don't care what others think at this point as long as I am happy that is what matters. My mother on the other hand..a year later she wants to kill me and him. My relationship with my mother has always been up and down and she...
I laughed at alot of these posts...actually one of the original posts that listed what PTSD is like...can you imagine if that was actually on our profile?
I wonder who would pick me up....I don't hardly sleep through the night, sometimes i cry and choke in my sleep, I shake when I get nervous...
OMG...I forgot about this post....that was like a year ago. I had 4 teeth pulled in three sessions, with three fillings. I did one without medication and cried and shook the entire time. All of the other, I had conscious sedation and the last appt my boyfriend sat in the room to make me feel...
