I am going to see a specialist tomorrow about my stomach. Hopefully they will have the results of my last testing and can dx it. If they can fix that, maybe I wouldn't feel quite so awful. Blah...

Junebug, The main reason I am so worried is because this bout of insomnia is so markedly different than others I have experienced in the past. I feel completely wide awake, extremely hypervigilent, and like I have drank about 3 pots of coffee all at once. I can't handle caffeine, or any...

I was thinking it was a pretty deep conversation too...LOL. If you could follow along with it, you must be some kind of super genius. I have been medically tested and given genius level scores on two types of intelligence tests, but I couldn't do it...so wow. I'm surprsed you can think at...

Yeah, I plan to. I have started hallucinating...that was a major give away to me that I need help. The thing is, my doc just thinks I am a nutjob, and she never listens to me at all... Something is up with my body that is for sure. I haven't been able to eat anything either...it's probably...

Cragger, Glad you liked my pics. The new Coldplay album is their best one yet IMO. I thought a lot of their earlier songs all sounded exactly the same. The sound is completely different on this one as they admitted that they gave up all their old tricks and went looking for new ones. There are...

It's been over a week for me now, with no sleep. I'm getting pretty sick, and worrying about it. Anyone know how long a person can go with no sleep, before it gets seriously life threatening? I've heard people can die from lack of sleep, and given how I feel, I can believe it.

This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality. Embrace this moment, remember, we are eternal. All this pain is an illusion. "Parabola"-Tool This song is full of awesome, but this is just my favourite lyric from it.

Emotional Mucinex! LMAO! Best description ever! And, totally true. I agree with Patrick as well, and I can't make what he said any clearer, or sound better, so I'll just say, "Listen to what Patrick said" What a wonderful way of explaining it.

Wow A-RON. That was quite the post. I hope getting it all out is helping. All of the feelings and symptoms you mentioned I have been through myself. It's so hard. Congratulations on finding this forum, and being so willing to open up. That is a very good thing, at least you are reaching...

Great topic! I hurt myself today To see if I still feel I focus on the pain The only thing that's real The needle tears a hole The old familiar sting Try to kill it all away But I remember everything What have I become? My sweetest friend Everyone I know Goes away in the end You could...

I'd just like to second that. It is so nice to have this place to come to. Thank you.

Hi, I have read numerous posts on here from people who mention they have Fibromyalgia. I am just wondering how many others have Fibro and do you consider it linked with PTSD, or separate.? I have Fibromyalgia, and my PTSD symptoms affect it, but I do not consider it a co-morbid condition...

Hi A-RON, I have heard that cd many times. I love Dead Can Dance, That is actually how I was introduced to Lisa Gerrard. I checked out the song you mentioned. I really enjoyed it, so thanks for the reccomendation.

My day has been awful. I wrote about it in my dairy, though, and that purged some of the feelings.

This forum is meant to help with PTSD, but it is recommended that when your symptoms start to get worse you take a break. I think that is a healthy, moderate way to do it. I think it requires a balance, and if you find the forum to be healthy, and helpful, do not give it up entirely, but take...

Hi Missy, I've seen "Office Space" ( one of my all time favs), "Anchorman" (found it pretty funny), and "Super Troopers" ( wasn't really my thing) I tend not to be able to watch movies that I consider "braincell burners". For example, I loathe the movies "Mystery Men", "Master of Disguise"...

For me forgiveness is a rather strange one. I am an extremely empathetic person. To the point that it can be detrimental to my health. I actually can feel other people's feelings, especially if I am close to them, or if the feeling is particularly strong. I had a friend in high school who...

Funniest movie I've seen in ages is "Ghost Town" with Ricky Gervais. We all laughed our heads off watching it. I mean out loud, wake the kids upstairs, roaring.

I have issues with this as well. I feel I hold the responsibilty for what happened when I was in the group home. After all, I found him attractive when I moved in there. (Did I somehow lead him on?) I didn't say anything when my warning bells went off, because I was worried I was wrong about...

Thanks Cragger, it means a lot to me. I wish you luck in your endeavours as well. I found your list to be very interesting. Have you posted any of your Sutras on here? I'd be interested to see some, if you're into sharing. Also, do you enjoy cooking? Is it one of your talents? I'm...

also, sad, hopeless, and alone

I feel terrified. I feel very ill physically. I feel tired. I feel like I don't have anything left in me. I feel like I am slipping downhill into a place I know is too scary for me to handle. I feel anxious. I feel bitter. I feel like an idiot. I feel like I should just be able...

Wow, this is a thread I really needed to see. I use this manner of thinking a lot in my life. I am always putting myself down for the feelings I have, and trying to minimize my experiences by saying "other people have it worse than me. Where do I get off feeling this way, while others with much...

First of all, you're not being a sniveller. It has to be rough for all of this to come up after such a long time. You must be very confused, and with good reason. I wish I could say, "oh don't worry, it'll be a piece of cake from here on out", but the reality is it could get much much worse...

I sometimes get visions like this. They can be very unnerving. One I still get very frequently is of me diving facefirst off of something high. I don't know what causes it, but I usually explain it to myself as a type of paranoia. I think that it is common for this type of thoughts to...
