It sounds to me like you might have Pre-menstrual Dysmorphic Disorder. PMDD. It is most likely not related to your trauma at all, but just things in your body changing, possibly from the starvation you mentioned, or other homonal factors. I would see a doctor. There are things they can...

I've been there. I had it bad this winter. I went 8 days without one minute of sleep and started hallucinating. It got to the point I though I would die. For me, when I realized what it was that was bothering me so much, I was able to get a little more rest. (an hour or two per day at the...

Fire, This whole thread hit me hard, which is why I haven't replied before now. I am sorry for all the horrible things you see so often. Stories like the one you last described are why I no longer watch the news. I rarely know any of what is going on in the world around me. I am just unable...

Riggs, I can see your point. The logical part of me knows that what you say is true, in many cases. I guess I just wonder how many people were in the subway that day that could have stopped that woman from being raped, there was definitely more than one person witnessing it, and even 2...

By definition, there is no cure or adequate treatment for terminal illnesses, and they end up causing death. So, do I think PTSd is a terminal illness? No. It doesn't have to be a death warrant. There are treatments available, and I have to hope that it can be cured (in a way). I guess the...

I was just re-reading my last post, and realising that I should have said "I believe that if rapists were castrated, and set free on society that they would likely find other ways of degrading their victims...using objects to rape, more extreme violence...ect." It doesn't just happen to women...

Well, this one is deep. It's a pretty sensitive subject for me, as I have been failed by the justice system in my country twice. Also, it is easy for me to say "Kill all the rapists" because I've been a victim and have to live with the effects everyday. Part of me thinks killing them would...

"I have PTSD" that part's not the issue for me, it's everything that goes along with it.

"If you're feeling a little useless, offended, or depressed...Just remember, you were once the fastest, and most victorius, sperm out of millions"

But, at least you called. I am not saying go out there and get beat, I am saying do something, whatever you can to help. I still think the self preservation thing should only be to an extent though, I am sorry, but "we were afraid we might get beat" wouldn't have cut it for me if I was the...

*snort* I think the next person that tries to give me a stupid platitude like the ones you've mentioned, or something like "you just can't let it ruin your life" I might actually scream at. I got the "you can't let it ruin your life" one tonight. Right, because I am letting PTSD keep me there...

Fire, I like how you can be completely serious when the occasion calls for it, and still find a way to make me LMAO before you're done your point, I can actually picture Bo with a gun...LOL! Thanks. Mina, I've heard both of those theories before, and after extensive studying in the social...

I'm sure many of you have seen the show "What Would You Do?" or others like it, where situations are staged in public to see how bystanders will react. The situations range from children bullying each other, domestic violence, child abuse, and so on. What I always find shocking, is the number...

Blues, do you know what it was about Kung Fu Panda that triggered you? Sorry if that's prying, but I find it interesting, and also it might help you to try to understand why, if you don't already. I'd have a hard time giving a list...for me, most movies or books that have a rape scene are...

I think Bec hit the nail on the head, you definitely do not want to trap a sufferer and force them to have a conversation, that will just end badly. Trust me, I've been forced into a talk many a time and ended up seriously losing it. Letting your sufferer know that you need to talk to them...

I've just stumbled in here, I don't even remember writing all of this..I LOVE LOVE LOVE it though. This is possibly one of the best ideas I've had, and now that I've remebered it, I am going to continue with it. Today's story, The Attack of the Longhorn Cattle, and trough swimming. When...

This is my POWER SONG. The lyrics are just so relevant to what's going on with me right now. I investigate a power in me that always has been lying latent to gain a spiritual and physical invulnerability I am flying from windstorms and thunderbolts, they will never capture me She searches the...

I am grateful for all the same things I was grateful for the other day, plus: 1) My voice (and that I am starting to use it to help myself, rather than just sing) 2) The people who are helping me see my self worth (and that I am finally able to listen) 3) Letting go of myself with wild...

I am proud of myself for finally waking up, and getting the guts to say what I am really thinking and feeling. For a long time, I was unable to open up and be honest with myself, which kept me from being honest with others about what I was really thinking and feeling. Recently, I have been doing...

The thing about the bureau makes me slightly ill...you must treat antiques with care. Yes, listening to us ladies is almost always a good idea.

I am grateful for: Ken May Joel Jen Dixson mommy my kitties BudNiko and Thomasina friends I've made here friends in real life being able to finally say what I've been thinking for so long. flowers it being green outside sunshine thunderstorms tastebuds (actually all senses) having some hope...

My day has been GREAT! I have been using the Law of Attraction for the last week,(thought I have known about it for almost 2 years) and it has already helped me get through some very rough stuff in the last few days. Today I woke up well rested and ready to take on the day, after affirming to...

I just thought I would pop in to mention the best way to ensure you never get another Jehovah's Witness at your door. Tell them you are what they consider "an Apostate". 'Doesn't matter what country you are in, this will get them to remove your address, and/or phone number, from their lists...
