I have tried DBT, CBT, and all the others almost been DDT'ed....... Lol...The last one is a WWF move. Some people have better luck with some forms of therapy then others. Its good that there are multiple types of focused areas of recovery. Keep an open mind. Its easier for us that are in our...

Hello, This is an old thread but one that I hope is till active for you Mike. I am a 36 year old male Veteran and have PTSD. Four years ago when I was finally diagnosed by the VA and became 100% disabled my life changed in the most extreme way. I was working in an executive position that I...

My T is working on a similar thing with me. She has taught me that in stead of trying to STOP my anxiety all together, rather learn how to carry it with me. This is such a simple thing but something that I have never been taught before. I just want to crawl into a hole when my anxiety gets bad...

I think it would be a great idea to see what others think about "normal stuff". I'v spent a good portion of my adult life looking for what TV and media consider normal. I have craved that feeling of being loved unconditionally and giving that love back with out fear of loosing that...

Normal Stuff? Like what for instance?

Well for me I have been in therapy for almost 4 years on a weekly and then by weekly schedule. I just recently got a new therapist and she is much warmer then the other one that I had. For me this is a really big thing as I did not have a close relationship with a woman until I got married...

I feel like I am looking from the outside in sometimes. Its almost like you really do have two different lives going on. I have the one that does not want to be consumed by all the anxiety and depression and the other that just wants to sleep and not have to try deal with this stuff. Its not...

Field day got rained out for outdoor but they had some indoor stuff for the kids. Parents could not go but they had ice cones and hot dogs that kind of stuff. She was a little sad I could not be in the school but they just did not have the room for parents too. Im really looking forward to...

Its reassuring having meet my new therapist and the fact that she is so caring. Thats what my other therapist of 4 years was lacking. Not that she was not a good person but I really need the caring support if that makes any sense. My daughter field day is today in about a half hour. It was...

I did and she is awesome! I felt sooo good after meeting her yesterday. I could talk to her all day. My prayers have been answered. Feeling so blessed. All I need to do is figure out this IBS stuff. Its very troubling to say the least. Thanks for your support.

I wish I could go a month with out issues for my IBS. A week would be great. Even two days would be good. I have issues most of the time. Its horrible with the tummy troubles that end up with me in the bathroom for over an hour at a time. I thought it was from my PTS but have just recently put...

This is not an easy thing to talk about. But I have really bad IBS. I think. I have to be protected 24/7 because of it. Not sure if this is common with really bad IBS because I have never talked to anyone about it due to it being so embarrassing. Any help with this sensitive issue would be...

I have been down the same road you are going down. I was the assistant director with only the executive director of and organization above me. I was really passionate about my job. Most things that I do I give 100% just because thats who I am. Well when I was finally diagnosed with PTS I was...

Sally wishing you all the best in your journey. Do you work for the VA? Or just the Feds? My last job I was the assistant director of a Veterans organization . It was time for me to call it quits. My therapist at the time was not for me going back to work. I was kinda burned out too. Im glad I...

Well the VA system needs all the help it can get! Glad to be getting as far away from it as possible. What ever happened to people being nice to one another and respectful. I never had any issues in school growing up. Because I was fearful of my father not the teachers. Lol Feeling fearful...

omeone Its finding the balance between progress and over stimulation that's key for me. The VA health care system is not the right place for this guy.I tried and I tried harder. But after over 4 years I have to do what's best for me. If that means starting all over. Well that's just what I...

Hang in there. I wish I was going back to work. Make the best of the situation. Im one to talk. I am freaking out about something much less then going back to work. Your much stronger then me. Happy for you. And like SeanGeo said don't worry about what others think. Its your job not theres.

Im not a fan of those forms. :( And the how many beers have you had in the last 2 months. ( Im a casual drinker, socially.) Well how many have you had? Im thinking I have no idea exactly. Know I am stressing about figuring out about beer. She was just so adamant about it. Those forms are not...

I am often humbled by the extent of sacrifice men and women have given with integrity and honor and at such a cost. Trying to quote with no success. Lol I'll figure it out. I am blessed to have friends that will actually, literally fight for me to the end, as I would for them. I've dedicated...

I have been a member for two years but never used the site. I'm a Us Army Infantry Veteran that is 100% service connected for PTSD. You will never see me write all those letters again. I call it PTS and most of my military friends that understand it do the same. In my opinion it is not a...

Sorry Im on my iPhone and did not read everyone's posts. (Concentration Issues) But I did want to say that I was a frequent flyer with the Call Line and most likely spoke to everyone in NY at the center. Its like any other service provider. They get burned out and some should not even be there...

Thats so true! They do not have high standards for them selves! Because they do not need to! In the US the big shots have messed up the healthcare system so bad I am not sure what is going to happen. (Sorry Another Post) So these winners can just continue to roll you around with all your issues...

Merecats thats funny. I have fired so called merecats for asking that question. (What can I do for you?) Are you f'ing kidding me? Thats a nogo for me. I am finally getting out of the va health care system in the United States. 4 Years of medication and therapy. All it did was make me feel...

This morning I figured out that I have IBS. I have been dealing with PTSD for the past 4 years. Along with my ptsd symptoms I have IBS symptoms. They are very similar if you looking into it. As a veteran I think it maybe a unique situation due to military issues. There are some great people out...
