Okay, so I need advice, I previously posted about there being "2 of me", I spoke of violet who is , as I've come to find out, one of my alters. But violet is not what I thought she was (rather who I thought she was) and now there are more. First I spoke of violet being this free spirited...

i need help. I've recently noticed that it's almost like 2 different people are living in my body. There is ME, who is very anxious, has frequent flashbacks, and hates social interaction. Then there is "other me" I've named her violet. She is outgoing, spontaneous , she smokes pot, drives to...

myself and my doctor have decided that doing an inpatient treatment for a week or so would be beneficial to my healing (I've had suicidal tendencies) , I am very nervous about this. My anxiety is super high and I feel like I'm being selfish. I have a small child at home, who needs her momma...

Today, during my session I told my t I was experiencing suicidal thoughts, he suggested that maybe in patient treatment would be a good idea for a week or so. I was opposed to the idea and now I am home. How can I be an inpatient with a small child at home? I can't leave my boyfriend at home for...

ive seen my t only a handful of times..but already I have created this emotional attachment to him, as if he was a father figure or some kind of protector. It feels wrong... But I feel like I need to tell him I just don't know how to say it without sounding like some kind of creep. I'm 18, he's...

I can't go a day without it. It's all I think about (besides my daughter). Once my baby is in bed, and I'm alone, it's just me and my tools. It's peace, and blissful chaos , it's insane but so, effective... I don't know what to do. My t asks me every week if I've sh since we last spoke and...

I have decided that it would be extremely beneficial for me to have service dog to help me get through my day to day life. I've contact some organizations , but with no reply as of yet. I was just wondering if any of you have service dogs, and how you went about applying for one and if it was a...

My mother has not yet fully witnessed me in a flashback/dissociative episode, I'm 18 years old and I've only recently been facing all this. My psychiatrist suggested that my mother sit in on one of my sessions just to get an idea of what's happening and how she can help. I'm very close with my...

***I wasn't sure where to put this ***My father was one of my abusers. For 10 years he abused me. Hitting, kicking, beatings until I wet myself. He was an alcoholic, and all of these attacks would take place while he was either highly intoxicated, or sober and looking for a drink. He was an...

Tomorrow, I have an appointment with my psychiatrist. I love my psychiatrist, he's so gentle and caring and he is excellent with trauma. Anyway, on Monday, in his office I froze. COMPLETELY. I was skin picking on my fingers which he picked up as a sign that I needed to SH .So, he ran and got me...

I've seen my psychiatrist a couple times now, and all we seem to do is talking about grounding techniques, he has a very small understanding of my trauma, and we haven't really touched on it. I feel like I need to address it, lay it out for him so he knows what he's dealing with so then I can...

so far I've been meeting with him once a week, because for me, a lot happens in a week. but I'm just curious to know how often you meet with your T? I like that it's a consistent once a week meeting, and I feel very safe in his office so I enjoy going to meet with him, and I hope it doesn't...

Today, during my second therapy session I dissociated atleast 3 times, my psychiatrist picked up on it right away and helped me come back each time. I can't help but feel extremely embarrassed. He was great about it and told me "you're ok here" multiple times, but I just don't know how to face...

I'm very new to my diagnosis and PTSD in general (I had my first flashback a week ago). Has anyone been able to hear a voice of a person who is in the "Now" during a flashback? I had a flashback this evening and before it was over, I could hear my boyfriend guiding me through it, but I could...

Tomorrow morning, I will be going for my first therapy session. I have no idea what to expect, I'm very nervous, I have social anxiety disorder and tomorrow will be my confirming diagnosis for PTSD. As far as I know, when I have a flash back I go really stiff and stare blankly into space, or I...
