    Going For Ect

    Well, it's finally come to this. I've been on a dozen different medications over the past three years, I've been in CBT/therapy for five years, I've tried EMDR, I've tried hypo-therapy, I've tried getting on my knees and praying it away, all to no avail.

    How Do I Stop The Nightmares?

    Every night, I have terrible nightmares related to my trauma. Some of them are twisted memories, and others are completely new torments. I have a lot of trouble falling back asleep after nightmares, and often am up and out of bed by five a.m. after an hour or two of tossing and turning. I can't...

    Sufferer Bullying Victim With Ptsd

    Hi, everyone. I'm Anna and I have PTSD because I was bullied throughout middle school and high school. I'd really rather not go into the details of my trauma, but it was bad enough that I had to be hospitalized for suicidal ideation. I have a history of non-suicidal self-harm, but this time I...
