    Pets for ptsd?

    Hey all. I’ve been having a bit of a problem. I’m a cat person, and I would really profit from having one right now, but unfortunately I live in a small room (about sixteen square meter), and having one here seems cruel. However I think it would still really help to have a pet. Preferrably an...

    Hank schrader in breaking bad

    (Spoilers, don’t read if you haven’t watched the show but want to) Another die hard fan here. I think he developed trauma after El Paso. It’s not everyday you see people die in a gruesome way like that. And after, in the elevator, I think he was showing some serious signs of...

    Diazepam (valium) need some advice

    Thank you Tibergrace, that helps a lot..! :hug: My problem is, in part, that I’m headstrong and usually my first instinct is to face the anxiety head-on and just “power” through it - even if years of anxiety have thought me that this is stupid, I can’t beat anxiety by being tough. When I’m like...

    Micro-dosing On Psychadelics

    I experimented with micro-dosing last year. Micro-dosing is done with such small amount that the drug has no psychedelic effect. Even this requires a bit of investigation - a low dose still had traces of psychedelic function. Once that dose is right, you take that dose about once per one week...

    Diazepam (valium) need some advice

    Hey people, I was hoping someone who has experience with diazepam can help me out. Diazepam helps me with panic attacks and not to self-harm. Depending on the severity of my panic I take a bit less or a bit more. Considering dependency/addiction I’m careful with how much I dose. Sometimes...

    “friends”...are they worth it?

    I feel a bit messed up, so did not read everything but I´m glad you got it out of your system :) I just wanted to say, as soon as your friends are "friends" (written like that), they are not. Real friends are true and blue, they are hard to find, but I am sure that everybody eventually finds...

    Sufferer About me - childhood trauma, dv, csa - army & oil fields

    Hey Kevin. Finding a therapist that really knows their stuff can take some time. Keep your head afloat, look around, there are some. When you find a really good one you´ll be glad. I think complex trauma really takes longer than a year to get over. Eventually you find ways to manage it. But...

    Sufferer Cptsd, anxiety, depression, & psychosis - hoping to find those who relate, even a just a little.

    Hey. (Unfortunately) lots of members here have CPTSD with the symptoms you describe or a mix of them. You´re not alone, for people around PTSD can be hard to understand. Sometimes I feel as though people have an even harder time understanding complex trauma. I hope you get to take some steps...

    The Give Your Abusers A Piece Of Your Mind Thread.

    I don´t know if it qualifies as my abuser. But this piece of (...) is an abuser all-right. F*ck, what a piece of work. I´d like to shove something in his eye socket. He (the owner of this house) and his two sidekicks, sideshow general manager and sideshow scarecrow, have been bullying me...

    Readers thread: what or who are you reading right now?

    I read "The Circle" by Dave Eggers. My cousin gave it to me three years ago, finally got around to it. It was a good read - in the sense that I was able to read through it - but I didn´t like the style much. It´s about a world where a Facebook-like company starts gaining a monopoly over...

    Hiding your face in public

    The legacy of PTSD - for me - is that I like to go by anonymously. This means I don´t interact with people in the street - only shopkeepers - usually am not interested in sustaining eye contact, and am usually wearing either a hoodie, a baseball cap, and in winter a scarf over half my face, or...

    Sufferer Would having sex help with flashbacks?

    Take care of yourself flowerapple. I´m glad you reached out and glad to see the concerned answers. I think the others are right; you´re still young and you can get your mind out of the mess, but not by re-living it with unsafe people who have dishonest intentions. Be safe and don´t let guys...

    What Did You Learn This Year?

    I learned that you should not mingle with assholes, even if you think you can ignore them or reason with them. Just don’t. I learned that actions have consequences not just for you but for everybody else involved, who will face 2nd hand consequences from the action. To think better about taking...
