I'm wondering whether other people have noticed weird stuff related to PTSD and PTSD symptoms. Things that may be positive or negative, but are definitely odd in some way. Any weird stories that you want to share? Here's mine. . . I work near a wooded area, where there are lots of little...

Prior to my current job, I rarely lasted more than 4 months at any place. The PTSD roller coaster would take me for another ride and bye-bye job. Somehow, with lots of help, I've been able to ride the roller coaster and make it through the harder times without losing the job. I've been...

Not sure why I am posting this. . .maybe looking for advice. Unfortunately, work is not a healthy place for me for the last year or so. Everyone at work has been as supportive as can reasonably be expected, but I am pretty much symptomatic all the time, requiring Xanax to make it through most...

A lot of what I work on with t is negative and unreasonable self-talk. I'm wondering if there is interest in a thread where we share some of the unreasonable things we tell ourselves, to help others who may be telling themselves the same kind of things, support each other and, hopefully, be...

Food issues may seem to be a relatively minor symptom compared to others, but it has played a major role in my life. I have an instant gag reflex with many foods and with specific textures of foods in my mouth. I may eat something and like it, but if I find out it contained an ingredient that...

My Google search skills are not very good this week, it seems. I'm in an ongoing 'discussion' regarding whether recovered memories are real. I'm looking for help from everyone on finding internet links to studies related to recovered memories. I am primarily focused on physical and/or...

I have a good t, my wife is amazing, my workmates are understanding. All of them are doing the right things to keep me functional and productive in the real world. Keeping me functional is a good thing, my kids and spouse need me functional for monetary support, I'm needed at work to get my...

I am curious about how many childhood trauma survivors had religion play a role in their trauma. Personally, I was abused by the equivalent of a pastor who had a long history of being a sexual predator that the religion covered up for literally decades. . .allowing him to continue...

I haven't found anyone talking about this yet. I experience full body paralysis, I can't move any part of my body for a period of time. The last time it lasted almost an hour with the only thing I could move were my eyes. I'm pretty sure this isn't a physical thing, but part of the flashback...

I'm struggling and hope someone here has advice. Two months ago, one of my staff found child porn on a client's computer. I took the responsibility of reporting and forcing the client to report and take action against their employee, who was also a family friend of one of their execs. (The...

I am a 43 year old male. I have been on anti-depressants for years with, basically, self-diagnosed depression. Anxiety issues got bad enough 2 years ago that I was afraid I could not support my family much longer. I began therapy. I busted someone for child porn a couple months ago. I had my...
