It seems like my vacations are spent with a higher state of anxiety level then at home. I don't know if that's a fear of the unknown. Not knowing what's going to happen next, or what but vacation is always high stress for me. I think living with in-laws even if they were the nicest people...

My Big issue with any relationship is trust. I fear that if I trust them I will get hurt somehow. My boyfriend of nine years tries to give me emotional support, but I am always waiting for a shoe to drop. Like this can't really be real. He can't really care for me. But I stay with him. He...

I would agree with Loloma, to seek help. Also I found reading on the subject helpful for me. I couldn't list all the books I've read but there are many on the subject of abuse and PTSD that have coping skills that can at least give you a start. The basics like deep breathing skills and...

I think the people who abused me are mentally incapable of understanding that they even abused me. So for them to apologies for something they still don't understand as being wrong, I'll never get it from them. I have to figure out how to forgive them and let it go and deal with the aftermath...

Thank you. I will continue to try and hopefully get new ideas. I am totally burnt out on therapy though. I've been seeing different therapists since I was 16 I'm now 44. The last ten years has kept me out of the hospital, and I've dealt with a lot of stuff. At this point I just have to...

Thank you for all your responses. It seems hot baths are a common thing, however my anxiety in the after noon, a bath wouldn't work for. But perhaps I should try them in the eve. I do talk to my boyfriend at the peak of my anxiety in the afternoon and it does help....I just fear it puts a lot...

I got the medication. I do the deep breathing. I exercise. Eat right. I paint, and read and write. I don't know what else there is to do for this constant anxiety about every stupid little thing......Even if there's nothing at all. How are people dealing with it? The doctor says it's PTSD and...
