My ex traumatized me with various abusive circumstances such as battery, assault and rape. And he knew I had trauma issues already. He was diagnosed with intermittent explosive disorder which I guess means he can't control his impulses to explode and it was just a matter of time before he...

Ok so I go to a lot of AA meetings and the first thing they notice is that my eyes glaze over and somewhere in the middle I am truly in my past and I try to get out of it but it seems futile. They have to lightly tap me on the shoulder or say my name a lot of times before I answer. Even that is...

I have been diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder and Dissociative Disorder. It's tough when you have others in your head and one of the switches and you become an entirely different person. This is part of Complex PTSD. I would like different peoples opinions and stories on how they...

So just over a year ago, I was in a four year relationship that was abusive. I was trying to be compassionate and take care of a guy who was an epileptic, how had intermittent explosive disorder and antisocial personality disorder on top of that. I was trying to be caring, but he would lash out...

Hey I am on SSDI for my mental illnesses of DID, PTSD and MDD. I was on the ticket to work program and worked with my employment agency until I had a relapse, but sometimes I feel guilty because I am not working and everyone else is. All I do is concentrate on my art and just try to work on my...

Hi guys, I wanted to tell you how I missed coming here to ptsd forums. Well I guess I want to rant about something and I guess get some feedback. Am I being immature by telling my father that I want to take time off of seeing my father for recovery reasons? I said it just like that. It is...

I think this poses a big problem with psychiatrist today. I went in for a dissociative episode and they marked me with a minor mood swing and stuck me with saphris and all this other drugs that I don't know may or may not be safe for my particular disorder. I feel drugged out have of the time...

Besides, PTSD forums, does anyone keep a personal, ptsd, or personal blog about themselves or about live in general on the internet, and if so, what do you usually rant about? Is it about your past, current events or what is really going to happen?

The day before my birthday, which was October 6th by the way, I woke up went to the bathroom and was looking out of the window. I saw that our neighbor was having a huge birthday bash for some kid. I looked to see that one of the people looked like his mother. I shouted from the bathroom to tell...

I know now at days everyone is so busy who has time for chat? But I would love to chat with people in the chat room, especially on here. I know I go on to facebook and I am likely to get my friends whom I can chat about friend stuff, but on here I feel safe to chat about ptsd stuff and the...

So yesterday was a little distressing, and anxiety provoking to say the least. I crashed my boyfriends car. Luckily it was only at 2 miles an hour, but I guess that wasn't the most anxiety provoking part. The part that got me good, was the passenger next to me. She could not keep calm. I...

Ok so, I have, PTSD and DID, which is dissociative identity disorder for those of you who need to be informed. Now, I've been working with my therapist for quite a while and integration has come up sometimes. I know it has not been our immediate goal, but to do EMDR, I have to get everyone in...

Just letting people know that this may trigger some people, but I feel that I had to express this in employment. I've had a lot of trouble in the past with my employment, I mean I've worked very hard in the past all the way up until the trauma had happened. But it seems like work and certain...

Not that I am advertising here, but I have been trying to do something with my life as an artist. So I am selling my art online. Or at least going to try. I mean there is no risk. It's on a site that is theft proof. But I do mostly digital art, and paintings. I have done in the past...

Hi my name is Eve. I have friends, but they really don't know the extent of what I have been through. I know they are non judgmental at least some of them are. At times I feel pretty left out because, when I dissociate it's like hiding a bad fart in the room. No one wants to talk about it or...

Hi all, I hope I can express that I am glad we have a place like this out here on the vast space of web. And further more I would like to take the time by introducing myself. I am a sufferer of PTSD, DID, and MDD. I try not to stress over the DID too much, because I actually kind of grown...
