I've been tackling my issues with anxiety and the physical aspects of PTSD the past 4 months or so, and now I want to address my outbursts of "rage". I'm sure i'm not alone in that I have rage when I experience anger. Has anyone had benefit from anger management therapy having PTSD? We're not...

It wasn't until I started prozac about 2 months after diagnosis that I think I may have broken a permanent panic attack. I've never not felt light a heavy weight is on my chest, and a tickle down my spine like falling. It wasn't until about a month after starting the prozac that it kinda...

I just did some homework to find the address of the children's shelter I was in as a child and took a little walk with google maps/google earth to take a look. I then took some walks through some childhood neighborhoods. I thinks its a good way to face some things when you can't yet afford to...

It's been about a month since my new therapist "guanteed" me I have ptsd. Like most, I doubted that, believing it was only for soldiers. Honestly, I felt guilty even considering it to be true. "I don't belong with those brave people who sacrificed themselves in war!" I thought. They...
