I am so aware of these codependent behaviors. I have made this guy is the center of my life. I even talk to him about my issues. I want to change and learn how to be strong and love myself, but it almost seems impossible. I am 46 and I still have the painful emotional flashbacks, the fear of...

I am in the process of trying different meds to help with the depression and anxiety. I was so pleased initially when I returned to taking Zoloft and had Risperadone added, and Trazedone added for sleep. I felt better within a week, I was sleeping better and felt so much more hopeful and the...

I deal with fear of abandonment issues. I have been 2 weeks in counseling and have experienced emotional flashbacks whenever this fear is discussed. I have a vague memory of a time as a child when I was left behind at a store...my family took off without me. I just had that memory confirmed by...

Hi all. I have been struggling with the "letting go" of someone and find myself in a tough position and would like feedback. I met S (sufferer) in an online game this past Oct. He "dumped" me for a few weeks the end of Dec, beg of Jan and went off to play a different game. He then brought me...

Hi all. I came to this forum looking for info about PTSD as I have been in an online gaming "relationship" with a guy who, at the beginning of "getting to know" each other shared some of his personal history and the fact that he had PTSD. After 2 months of an in game "marriage" he "divorced" me...

I have been reading a lot about the pushing away and isolating that sufferers tend to do, and relate to the "walking on eggshells", not knowing if you should contact them or not, etc. etc. I have greatly appreciated all the input from both sides. I know everyone is different in how they deal...

My story is a bit strange. I met a guy through gaming about 6 months back. In the beginning he shared some of his history with me when he was drinking, about having PTSD and trying to get disability. He also is a recovering alcoholic that had fallen off the wagon. After he sobered up we...
