I have been seeing my therapist weekly for 5 months now and have been working on some heavy content. I have two more sessions before she has a holiday for two weeks and then I for two weeks. So no therapy for almost 5 weeks. I am a little worried about how I will be in those weeks. What do...

A part of me is suicidal, is actually plotting. Not sure which part but it is fighting constantly about giving in. The rest of me is fighting against this feeling by trying to reason - I am worth it, I have so much to live for, my children and husband are my world etc. My Psychiatrist has...

i just wanted to say to everyone how amazingly strong we all are! PTSD is the pits and all these symptoms we experience are damn hard.
