I don't have that particular experience but I do know this my son has sensory integration dysfunction and high functioning aspergers...he hums alot. I think the humming is a way to sooth yourself and the yelling could just be pent up anger and frustration and that is your bodies way of releasing it.
I agree with your thinking..especially if it is working most of the time. It doesn't work that way. I think you would need a prn dose..or a take as needed dose of something. Like ativan or valium, if you don't have addiction issues. Maybe just being more conscious of it will help and you need...
Keep me posted..I am considering returning in sep. I graduated nursing in 1994..so it would be 16 years. I am not sure what to do, the on line sounds interesting too.
That is awesome..now you can also get some financial assistance..acsd and ssah..here in canada. I know when my son was dx and then given the special education he needed, it made all the difference. He was NOT integrated for years but the special class gave him the tools to move forward. He...
I won't be alone...but I am missing my Dad, my family and my old youth group leaders badly..I am hoping for a ptsd free day but I think you may see me here. As soon as my son opens all his video games, he will be off to his room. That will be the end of it..
Now that is why I carry my dog around everywhere and I love it!!! I have my son but he has special needs, does not show emotions very well and my mother is not emotional..at this time the dog is filling that lonely void.
It is very common to want to avoid symptoms, cover up the pain..But in the end you need help. I agree..go to an AA meeting or get into a rehab (if you can...i just finished a day treatment program) due to a substance abuse problem. It was the best decision I ever made. It will help you think...
Well it is here...it is this week. I had a stressful event that has brought a rise in my symptoms and I hope the crying stops by friday...I know it will! I have to again..be positive. My initial instinct is to cancel but I am not. I deserve this and there are people coming from out of town...

I think this is dissacociation but just wanted to know if others experience it. I remember doing EMDR and CBT...in my mind the words of a song would play over and over and it was really hard to focus on what we were doing.
Sometimes it is a positive phrase and it is ok to repeat it..other...

I am looking into renting a room at the casino for the night with a few girls coming from out of town..I cannot beleive how excited I am. When they had an actual reunion a few...
He is lucky to have you..
It will get worse before it gets better but he also needs to want to get better and beleive that he truly will. It is hard to fight the battle and fight the process and yourself. I wish you both the best of luck and healing. It has been 5 years for me or so and I...
Thank you for your kind words everyone...it will be fun!!!! I even emailed my best friend from highschool. We had an argument just prior to my back injury and stopped speaking. That was around the time I joined the forum. We even lived together in college. So..hopefully she wants to go! For...
Tonight I was on facebook and i deceided to post a general message on my profile. It was a message to see if anyone was interested in having a highschool girls night out at the casino in our city during xmas holidays. I have not seen most of these girls since highschool..that was over 20 years...
