Hi, I'm Kay. I was moved by what you said. Simply because I in a sense move through my days feeling "locked in my world." I have "my world", and then there's "the world." I isolate quite a bit. But even when I'm around others, I'm in my own world. And getting too...

Hi Anthony!
Good to hear from you again. Definitely anything new is stressful, let alone moving a long ways and trying to adapt to new people, things, everything! Is your follow-up like an all day session? Maybe it will help with all of the stress you have had. Let me know how it...

Hi Anthony and everyone:
Just a note to say I've finally got some EMDR sessions scheduled. I've got about 10 sessions (1 per week) starting in February. Now the ball is rolling!
Hey Anthony - - - How are you? I sure hope you are doing okay. You've been in my prayers...

Hi Anthony
So far doing okay. Having a few days where I've wondered if I should go back in. But I think it is the stress. Stress can do some weird crap. But the ER doc said get my but back in if I have the same symptoms.
Christmas? Almost there, almost over - - - hooray...

Hi Anthony and all friends!!!!
It's been awhile since I've shot my mouth off on here. Been lost in the busy b . . .s . . . of work and Christmas preparations.
Was in the emergency room last week for five hours on oxygen - - - I was being checked for heart attack, stroke, blood...

Anthony and Camry
I am an expert at being a grinch at Christmas time. I hate the part of sitting around talking about how wonderful the tree looks. And oh, the kids are having so much fun. And such good food too. Everyone puts on the "happy face" Christmas Eve and everyone is...

Hi Anthony:
(I'm going to try this again) Cleaned up my system last week; I got tossed out again.
Anyway - - - Even though sometimes I'm insecure when it comes to interacting with others, I like your way of thinking - - - if they can't handle the way I am, or if I'm having a bad...

Anthony:
Thanks for reminding me where I am, Ha! Ha! In the throws of PTSD. Doing better today. Saturday slept quite a bit. The most I've slept in a long time. Guess I needed it. Sunday went to work out, and then went out for coffee with a friend. Did some crafts yesterday too...

Anthony/Camry:
I agree with Camry - - - on a daily basis. Especially at home. My mother tends to be a very pessimistic and negative/critical person. And like Camry, I can't wait until late evening after everyone goes to bed so that it's quiet, and I can become c-a-l-m. I have for...

Hey Anthony:
Sorry I haven't posted for awhile. I guess, like you, not doing so hot. Nancy, my therapist, was questioning whether I should go in the hospital for awhile last week. Don't think I'm quite that bad. But we talked quite a bit about "feelings". In journaling, she'd...

Evelyn:
Hi! Sure sounds like you've been busy. I remember going to college full-time and working full-time; and end of semesters. Whew!
I was having a difficult time finding a therapist where there wasn't a conflict of interest regarding that therapist I saw for five years. I...

Hi Anthony! It has been a little while. What a week. I swear I've been going steady 14 hours a day; no sleep. Then when I do have a little time; I can't stay awake. Make up my mind! Have been feeling some depression. Have had some right leg pain I am trying to find the cause...
Molly: I can truly relate to your and Anthony's anxiety/panic symptoms. When I have an anxiety or panic attack, I very much feel like I'm about to go crazy any second. And I'm afraid if I go crazy, I'll never come back. My counselor has stated this is a very normal reaction/feeling to...

Anthony:
Thank you for your info. I'll try that process. Will have my brother help me out a little.
Been very busy; not sleeping; then sleeping all day. I've got four days off coming up. Talk to you then.
Thanks again,
Kay
I posted a long post and it was not accepted again. Don't know why. Message says I'm not logged in, when actually I have logged in. Anthony, any idea why this is happening?

This is the 2nd time I've attempted to post. I hope this one goes through. When I clicked "submit" I got a screen that I wasn't logged in. So here I go again.
Not remembering and unable to concentrate sound like PTSD symptoms. I can relate to those. Par for the...

Hi Anthony
Frustration - - - it's the pits isn't it? Once you're moved everything will fall into place. How many miles are you moving?
Ya, exercise is my therapy right now. It keeps me from sinking into depression. Now I'm restless and on the go . . .but getting lots done...

Hi Anthony
I read your post about what sounds like a trying day. It sounds like you made good decisions and got through it. Way to go. I don't like to move around either. Have moved quite a bit in my life.
I think I may have found a therapist to do the EMDR; however, it may be...

Hi Anthony
Sorry to hear about your "spat"? So you are moving? It sounds like that may be a positive move on your part.
Haven't been around this last week (especially mentally). Have been at meetings, appointments for clients, working extra hours. And when home, I am...

Hi all
Last week was out a few days at a conference for my job. Another night I didn't sleep all night. So when I wasn't working or at meetings, I was sleeping. This weekend was much better. When to work out today. Went to work for 6 hours.
I checked a few times last week...

Cindi:
Hi and welcome! I would be very happy to discuss anything with you. I have written much about myself in this forum. Feel free to tell us a bit about yourself. PTSD is a "B . . . ." Sharing with others certainly has helped me realize I am not alone, and also it is quite...

Evelyn:
Wow, you have some questions to think about. When I think of shock I think of feeling immobilized, paralyzed, numb and really "spaced out." I don't know for sure if this is shock, but I have experienced these things after traumatic events, times. And I know I have...

Hi Johnny
Welcome. Nice to see another new person here. This is the place to talk about your issues, PTSD or otherwise. I am fairly new - 2/3 weeks. I am still breaking ice. And know that you are not alone with anger or sadness. I hope to hear more from you. You can read more...
