I had an episode last night after I couldn't fall asleep. My boyfriend was watching TV across the apartment and I asked him to get me a Tylenol PM. When he brought it to me I dropped it and couldn't find it. SO frustrated, extremely exhausted and having to wake up in 5 hours for work I started...

Are you going to be sitting or standing? I would try ear plugs; you'll still be able to hear the music. You seem very self away so if you prepare yourself, you can do anything. I have a hard time in crowds but I just try to focus on my own positive energy and just know that no one can hurt you...

A lot of my family members were in denial when I tried to reach out for help. Even recalling abuse around them, they would quickly change the subject. It was only through therapy that I was able to learn that they are messed up psychologically in their own way. They can't handle the truth and...

I am feeling a lot better today. Next time I need to keep my feelings in check. I would love to be able to remove myself from situations. Meditation sounds like it would help me. Thank you.

All day I've been feeling off. The city is covered in smoke and I thought I was sick when I woke up. Last night my boyfriend fell asleep in the couch and I woke up alone which is the worst for me. I feel abandoned and like I'm the little 8 year old waking up to her mom missing and maybe dead in...

Hey Courtney! Looking forward to seeing you on here. Feel free to message me anytime!

Welcome to the forum! You are not alone here. Therapy can really help if you are ready to give it your all.

You also have to be willing to walk away if he won't respect you.

You're not his mother, he's not a child. He is an adult and should't depend on you for everything. It sounds like he bullied you into saying what he wanted to hear. I know it can be hard when he throws such a fit, but that's his problem. You are allowed to change your mind and it needs to be...

Yes it was in Nevada. It is entirely possible, although there are a lot of bad people here. Thank you @KrispyKreme, the first step has been the hardest. I appreciate the support!

You guys are right, there was nothing that I could do and it wasn't my fault at all. I'm just happy that I had enough sense not to return again. Its hard to trust that God or karma brought him to justice, but I hope so. It just feels good to let this experience out and start moving on from it...

When I was a little girl, about seven or eight, I had a friend Kevy. She wasn't the brightest girl and had some problems at home as well as her mom had died. One day she told me that she had something to show me. They were building apartments outside of our suburban housing complex and she...

I have felt like this many times before and it can be hard to pull yourself out. But it is possible and you are not alone. Try to distract yourself and feel some peace. You deserve it!

He only calls me that once in a while when things are at their worst and he always apologizes after. It's just so hard when I wish he knew what it was like, I think I might turn him off from learning about it further.

He has his own troubled past and I think councelong scares him. My own therapist has asked him to join session and he won't. We always can talk about issues after the fact but never see eye to eye it seems. All I can do is try to manage better... The rest is on him I guess.

My boyfriend and I are just about at our two year anniversary, and communication between us about PTSD still isn't good. I've tried to tell him about it and explain, but all he sees are the symptoms and thinks I just act like a crazy child. I have PTSD from child abuse so I guess I do act like a...

I know it's working when it is easier to talk and be open with my feelings to the people around me. When it gets easier to be alone for extended periods of time. It can be a very long and slow road to seeing a difference, I have been in therapy once a week for almost 3 years and I am just now...

Thank you guys! :)

Yes! I live in Reno.

Hello everyone! I'm very excited I found this website. I am 20 and have had PTSD since as long as I can really remember. My mother was an alcoholic and put me in many abusive situations. My father wasn't there very much because he thought my mother would raise me and do a good job. I am in...
