Hi guys..I haven't been on in a while. I've been making some great strides with my PTSD, however I still have problems every now and then. Honestly, this is the best advice forum I have ever found. I went to something else, but people don't seem to "get" it with this disease unless they too...

My psychiatrist won't Prescribe more meds until I make an appointment. Which is tomorrow but I've been waiting all week. I take Zoloft. I'm noticing especially in the last few hours I'm having really obnoxious and petty thoughts. There's this person who I hate with all my being, on or off my...

I came from a difficult past like many of us. I started self harming when I was 8 years old, the trigger point was being molested. I showed signs of mental illness before that. I first used this forum last year..I had no life and nothing to live for where I was. Jump 1 year later and though I...

I had been experiencing a flashback for a couple hours last night. So I decided to write a long message to my friend I feel safest with about what I am going through. He only very briefly knows I have ptsd. He saw the message hours ago but has not responded so I take that as rejection and it...

I have noticed ever since sexual abuse 8 years ago.. I have found myself unable to connect deeply with more than one person at a time. I can maintain 2-3 friendships at a time. However only one of those people can be THE person. "THE" person is someone I connect with above all else,want to be...

I guess this has been a compulsive thought on my mind lately. How alcohol has hurt those around me. Let me start by saying I only drank alcohol once in my life, a small can of Heineken and that was it. Never again. But them I think of someone I care for very much..a friendship I should have...

In my past I frequently suffered from flashbacks regarding sexual abuse. I still do have these, however I am making progress with the help of medication and psychiatrists. However I also am recently overcoming severe anorexia. I am so glad to be out of the situation I was in. That was a scary...

I have been a girl of many different sizes. When I was 8 i got sexually abused. From there the weight kept coming on. Until age 14 i was 230 pounds with a BMI of 39 (35 is morbidly obese!). I am now 17 and 134 pounds. But..it just is not enough for me. I want to weigh less. Due to my...

Everything today I just kind of a blur..I don't know if it's tied to ptsd or something else but I just feel lost and nobody is around for me When I think of my day it started pretty good. My friend came over after he was done with work and stayed until 5:00 am. I went to bed at 8:00 and woke up...

Today when I was waiting for my therapist in the reception office there was also a little boy..he was a pretty happy kid. He was running frantically around the room and then started playing with some toys set aside in the corner..then my mind brought back something disturbing In the past few...

Has anyone else had something where someone completely unrelated to the trauma suddenly becomes a victim as well in the form a nightmare?.. So to be brief I went through sexual abuse. This was years ago and I have a friend who is in no way affiliated or even aware of my abuse, we're not...

Late at night I like to browse through missing people cases. This may sound strange but I am curious about those stories and the whereabouts of those people who just..vanished However I noticed whenever I look at these people..someone begins to watch me. He isn't real and in rational state I...

Soon I will be referred to a psychiatrist to determine what kind of medications would be right for me. I know being honest about all of my past, feelings, and lifestyle is vital in order to move forward. However I feel worried that I will get a "cconsequence" if I share my flashbacks during...

Yesterday my mind revealed what we could call a "repressed memory".I was previously sexually abused at the age of 8, and I remember everything from that. Now my flashbacks are going to when I was even younger. Since yesterday I've continuously had flashbacks of my mother's step father molesting...
