I have been really losing it lately. This has been going on a few months which seems to coincide with a few things. One, my therapist started talking about narcissistic abuse. I didn’t know anything about it so I started reading. This caused me a lot of emotional discomfort. I thought all my...

I really lost it today with an A-hole. I just had the floors redone in my home and I am buying a lot of new furniture. Yesterday and today were supposed to be delivery days. Only one of the scheduled deliveries happened yesterday while I waited all day for no shows. At 6:00am this morning I...

I have questions about autism. The woman I have been dating I used to date 35 years ago. Sometime between then and now she was diagnosed with autism. We both have PTSD and talk about it often so she knows all my stuff. She suggested that I look into autism and I am shocked at how closely my...

I am struggling almost every afternoon with anxiety. This has been going on for over a month and I just thought about maybe it is the heat that is setting it off. Has anyone else noticed this? I just start feeling a little funky and just not all there. I feel some numbness on my face and...

I don’t have a clue what I am doing. I filed for divorce less than 2 months ago after living separate from my wife for 8 months. It was the most emotionally painful thing I have ever been through. I have been enjoying living alone in my little hippie house above old town Bisbee Arizona. I...

One of the best things I have ever done for myself is to exercise almost daily. I haven’t been able to do much this past week due to pain from a neck injury but this morning, after much procrastination, I got out on my road bike for a short ride. I only rode 20 miles but it really set the tone...

I am wondering if this is common. I never talked to anyone about the abuse in my childhood. It wasn’t that I was hiding it, the thought of talking about it never really dawned on me. When My wife and I first started living apart and my whole world went into hyper dysregulation an old friend...

I have always felt excluded, like a second class member of my family. This was true as a child and as I make progress on my PTSD healing journey I realize I have recreated that in my marriage and the relationship with my kids. By saying I recreated it, I mean I tolerated it until it became so...

I hear the word closure used a lot but I am not sure I understand the idea. I understand that as we deal with our trauma our view of it evolves, anger can turn into forgiveness or acceptance or murderous rage. But closure to me implies some sort of endpoint. Do our views on our trauma ever...

Hi, I am new here and new to my PTSD and Emotional Dysregulation. My wife and I separated a week and a half ago with no idea what our future will be, together or separate. She is into controlling everything and I am open to this considering she has tolerated my moods and anger for so long...

Hi, I am just starting my PTSD recovery journey. I also have a degenerative neurological condition that I have been dealing with the last 23 years. I get neuropsych evaluations every couple of years and one of those maybe 20 years ago ruled out PTSD so I haven’t thought about it since. Maybe...
