If you're currently suffering from severe identity issues- this man, Vinnie Paz, really has a way with sending a powerful, inspirational yet depressive message. Some typical vulgar language... But you know, passionate vulgar, not senseless like perhaps some of his other (otherwise brilliant)...

*A few quick disclaimers* -It's still controversial in my mind as to whether or not it's a completely "healable" condition. -I understand that everyone's trauma is different, everyone's body is affected uniquely, and everyone's healing journey involves a myriad of different obstacles and...

-everyone's experience is different -you can overcome your symptoms and return to "normal" life. But "normal" will always be in quotes because trauma changes the way you look at life, no one is immune to that. -for many, the trauma started so young that ptsd is all they know. -for some, the...

Day 7 of dropping from 75 mg to 50 mg is tomorrow. I feel great so far. I feel so good, that I'm considering staying on 50 mgs til my body yells at me to go lower. No need to force the issue, but I will talk to my P tomorrow for guidance. He's already recommended I stay on my prescribed dose...

i have an overwhelming need to wean myself off setraline. Been on 4 months, very gradually made may up to 75 mg daily. Worked very well (after the initial disorientation). My T strongly urges against this and my P says probably another 6 months on them atleast. I trust them. They want the best...

So I am feeling better now- started with 12.5 mg of setraline and settled on 75. Been on 75 for 2-3 weeks now and my first reaction is "I'm better, but it's a fake better." My P says probably 6-12 months before he'd recommend we start tapering off. Questions: Is it harder to wean the longer...

I didn't think it was possible. Took 10 weeks on Zoloft and 16 weeks of therapy but I'm finally feeling stable. Yes I'm still anxious. Yes I gained a ton of weight. But I no longer feel such an intense sense of lost and panicked. Such depressive thoughts. The hyper awareness has decreased...

I feel like I need to do more than just zoloft and weekly therapy. My brain is craving something, I just don't know what that something is. What works for you?

I'm feeling so anxious and afraid of the future. I went from being such a confident, heartwarming, and funny guy to a dodgy, irritable, hopeless wreck. The sick part is my hyper awareness of it all. I'm so aware of my body language now- how sheepish it is and how standoffish it makes everyone...

Thank you, @Mal Content for encouraging me to write about this. I am currently doing recruiting for traveling nurses. I'm on the phone for 60-100 phone calls a day, trying to establish relationships with these nurses, check in on them, see how they're doing, and ultimately get them to do a...

It's been 2 months since I started. I'm on 50 mg/day. I'm also on gabapentin. Feeling constantly anxious. Sometimes I can use that anxiety to motivate me to do good. Other days just staying focused is near impossible. Psychiatrist is ready to move on to a new drug. Anybody else start w setra...

It's my worst enemy, every morning. I routinely show up 10-15 lares for work, because I simply cannot bear the thought of getting out of bed until the "oh shit, I'm late!" Anxiety starts kicking in. Any tips? What has worked for you guys.

I'm realizing that the life that I once knew is over. I started a journal, wrote a Eulogy for my old self, and accepted that my life of smoking, drinking and partying is over. I want to good in this world. I want to give back for the wonderful 30 years I had on this earth before the trauma...

For me- weed was my rock. Kept me happy, made me feel amazing, and kept my traumas well suppressed. Then the major catalyst/trigger struck- and all of sudden weed no longer, well, worked. It made me even hyper-awarer. Made my thoughts ping around even more violently in my head. Will I ever...

I'm fascinated by our brain- and how it can suppress intense emotional pain until something triggers it. If you don't mind sharing, I'd love to hear what the traumatic event was in your life, and what -if anything- caused it to initially manifest.

Just as a brief history- my "uncle" molested me - it began when I was 18 and manifested at 30 (about 9 months ago) when a toddler innocently bouncing in my lap began arousing me. Years 18-30 were filled with love, then divorce, then nonstop promiscuity like strip clubs and excessive drinking...

I was just diagnosed in Tuesday. I don't want to believe this will last forever, that thought makes me want to kill myself. I'm 30. My "uncle" (no blood relation, moms best friend) started molesting me at age 18. It happened very gradually and I am very ashamed that I allowed it to happen...
