    Music To Change Your Mind

    I liked all of those. :) Especially Walk On. I love Neil Young. My cat liked it as well, he was pretty much head bopping along to it with me. :) Thanks

    PTSD? I Don't Get It

    Hi Patrick. I'd like to share an experience of mine for you, to give you something else to think about. (as if you need anymore!) I was diagnosed with PTSD 7 years ago, and at the time I had all the symptoms. I was having flashbacks, not sleeping, panic attacks, dissociating...

    What Are Your Coping Skills?

    Cragger, I wish I could stop to take note, have the ability to analyse myself like that when I am in a stressfull situation, but I do not even have the chance. I go right into full panic, or flashback, and do not have the ability to reason at all. It would be very helpful if my brain would...

    Music To Change Your Mind

    I just thought of some songs that are REALLY great for when your mind is running on and on, and you can't get it to stop. I have a lot of issues with my mind running when I am trying to sleep, or when I am alone. These songs have saved me from disaster many a time. I find this list is also great...

    What Are Your Coping Skills?

    Thanks for your comments everyone. I would like for external support to be a part of my PTSD, but it just isn't possible where I am right now. The medical system in Canada, and especially where I am living is slipping, so for now ideas are good. I like the idea of practice, and am surprised...

    What Are Your Coping Skills?

    I don't think I usually react like that from anger. What usually happens is that I get triggered, and I try to run away from the trigger (which is usually my husband freaking out on me). He gets pretty bad at times if he is angry and sometimes goes WAY below the belt by bringing up my rapes...

    What Are Your Coping Skills?

    I am just wondering what skills others use to cope with their PTSD symtoms. I have had PTSD for 7 years now and I don't feel that I have any solid coping skills at all. When I am under extreme stress, such as being triggered, I tend to just go totally crazy. I do things that I am not aware of...

    General Dating A Woman With PTSD

    I suffer from PTSD, and I lash out at my husband a lot. Usually because I think he doesn't understand. Sometimes this is true and he wont be able to because he hasn't experienced what I have been through, but most often it is because I myself do not understand and cannot explain what is going on...

    This is a Mess - I Need Answers

    Sallysellsseashells, My husband is very supportive when I am having a flashback. Actually he is very supportive, and is my rock through all of it. He defintely sees it for what it is, or at least he truly understands what it does to me. When I start to flashback when him and I are having an...

    Sense of A Foreshortened Future

    I have a sense of forshortened future, but I also don't think I will succeed in anything. I feel like I am stuck in time. I have mentioned on here, that I feel as though I never escaped from my trauma, and that I am stuck there. Perhaps for me at least that is why I can't see myself graduting...

    Cognitive Impairment

    That same thing happens to me all the time...or I will walk into a room, and all of a sudden have no idea why I am there. My short term memory is non-existent, and my brain function is much lower than it was. I need about ten of those beep mechanisms, didn't know they existed..I was gonna...
