It's been quite some time since I last posted and up until recently I've felt relatively "normal" and happy. I had my occasional bouts with depression and my T switched me from my Celexa (it started having no effect and causing issues with my stomach) to medical marijuana. It's helped...

Some of you may know I got another job after my grooming one. Long story short, it was really stressful since day one because of typical new job stress, my inability to handle stress normally and the fact my boss is a real jerk to put it nicely. I started to vomit every day before work and...

So today I started a new job at an office. It's been a while since I had a desk job and I'm not used to it. I was nervous this morning and puked up some bile (completely "normal" for me) and I figured that would be it for me. After about 4 hours into my 8 hour day I started to get extremely...

I used to be able to withstand a lot of physical pain. I once had a surgery with no anesthetics and barely winced. Ever since my trauma it seems that if I so much as touch something the wrong way it's excruciating. Has anyone else had a change in their sensitivity to physical pain?

My husband got denied a manager position at his job but they then told him they have bigger and better plans for him. For that I truly am happy for him. He deserves it. They want to send him out on the opposite side of the country for a week to go to this company get together and that's where my...

So I've had knee problems since I was about 8 years old and every doctor blew it off as "growing pains". Well I am now about halfway into my 20s and the pain sure has been growing to an unbearable point. I have alway been terrified of doctors since I was never a healthy baby/child so my nerves...

Now I'm not saying that it wasn't a terrible thing that happened and that we shouldn't pay respects to the people who perished that day but I find it very cruel that the media and other sources replay footage from it constantly. I know as a PTSD sufferer if someone kept showing me replays of my...

I got this idea from a website and I really like the idea of sharing positive things about our day. It really helps to boost our confidence and make us take a step back and focus on the positives rather than the negatives for once. I'll start... IMMD when my husband told me how beautiful I was...

I finally got that grooming job I was applying for. It's been a hectic week since I started but I'm pulling through. I feel like I'm a little overwhelmed at times and that I am about to buckle underneath myself but I've been strong. I hope I can keep this up. I really enjoy what I'm doing...

Since I have been taking my medication it has really helped level me out to the point where I feel comfortable working in a slow paced environment so I have been actively applying for jobs. Yesterday there was an opening at a local Petsmart so I applied for a groomer/bather position. Today I get...

I was recently put on Celexa and I've noticed that I have been drained of all of my energy to the point where I can hardly roll out of bed in the mornings. Does anyone else experience this? Is it possible this is happening because my body is still getting used to it?

When I was seeing my previous T I was working from home and had a schedule of whatever I wanted. That has since ended and I am actively searching for a job but at the same time will now have psychiatrist appointments at least once weekly with my new Dr. How does one juggle their time without...

I apologize if this is in the wrong section but I have been wondering if it is a good idea to push myself to watch certain things that usually trigger panic attacks, nightmares, flashbacks etc. For example, should I start to expose myself to certain movies or shows that may talk about or have...

I was diagnosed with PTSD a year ago although it is believed that I've been suffering from it for the past 3 years or so. I was undergoing cognitive behavioral therapy but unfortunately it was not working well either due to myself or my therapist and I not "meshing" well enough. I am seeking...
