I just don't know what to do it just hurts so much. I had therapy the other day and we were talking about exposure therapy and I got so flooded at just the thought of exposure therapy that we have decided to do exposure therapy to exposure therapy.I just wish I didn't care so much about what he...

I just found out he did it again yesterday I had a complete mental breakdown I self harmed for the first time in a year and a half. my anxiety was so high I could barely keep anything down yesterday I threw up so many times. my whole body aches today, I feel so drained and hurt and helpless and...

Hello!

I'm sure most the time I always come off as angry or hostile to him, but I try to always remember in my calm moments to go back and try to explain to him what my feelings really were. I have pretty much told him my whole life story (Minus most of the grewsome details) from the very beginning of...

In my opinion yes. I know personally myself it causes a feeling of I am wrong, I did something wrong, I'm not good, I'm not worthy and the spiral of no self esteem.

Arguments are a huge trigger for me. Even if I can sence my boyfriend is mad or frustrated at something that has nothing to do with me, brings me right back 10 years ago to the trauma.

Well my story is pretty much exactly the same as your girlfriends.The only real difference being that I laid myself out on the line 100 percent at the very beginning of my relationship. I told him everything, sparing the gruesome details of course. Coming from my point of view the only thing...

I'm trying very hard to lose the weight. I'm basically only eating about 1100 to 1200 calories a day at this point because 1400 wasn't getting me anywhere.Eeverything I eat is extremely healthy fruits, vegetables, lean protein, barely any carbs and when I do its 100 percent whole wheat. I still...

Because of my PTSD I have developed an eating disorder a long time ago. Mainly bulimia but I have had periods of anorexia and c&s. I wish I could talk about it in therapy but I only brought up twice and each time I have she mentioned inpatient Treatment and I really don't do very good...

I totaly understand. I am a new mom to a 10 month old. I also struggle with intense crying spells. I know she is still young but she can tell when I'm upset and she starts crying if she sees me crying and it absolutely breaks my heart. I don't know how to deal with it other than doing my best...

It is so hard to find places or people where I can honestly open up and talk about this issue. I always get the response of "get over it", "it is normal", "that's what men do". I understand that for many people this is true, however for me it is not something that I can handle in a...

I have been thinking about your question and I don't think it is PPD. Other areas in my life I am generally happy I am enjoying being a mother and spending time with her and watching her grow. Its just when I think about myself and how I view myself.

Of course PPD is always a possibility but I have felt like this pretty much since I left my ex. I am guessing it is worse because of how much I love my current boyfriend and how I feel betrayed by him looking at porn.

We practice a lot of mindfulness and non judgemental observation in therapy along with thought records, progressive muscle relaxation, breathing techniques, we have don it all. We have been doing it for many years. I have seen many therapists and many psychiatrists and have had many diagnosis...

I have discussed that exact issue with him several times he says its not that kind of thing and he doesn't know why he does it he just does. I went on my Facebook activity log because I wanted to look up all the recipes I had been sharing so that I could put them on my Pinterest . We share a...

I am trying, It's hard. I am such a negative person i guess. Always have negative intrusive thoughts.

My biggest problem is that there isn't anything about myself that I can say anything positive about. Not even an earlobe. That is why she having me start wIth objects for practise. But I can't even manage to do that.

So the next 2 weeks I'm supposed to be working on non judgemental observations of things so that one day I can practice it on my body. My therapist has decided the first easiest step towards working on some symptoms of my PTSD is to work on my self esteem. She used the term body dysmorphia. I...

The more the merrier right? hugs for all! :)

You have no idea how extremely awesome it is to hear this from a man. Usually it is man that give me the exact opposite, and sometimes woman too. I will gladly accept your hugs and give you some back thank you so much!

I am still trying to figure out myself whether or not it is a deal breaker. I am just trying to stay strong as a new mommy I don't want my daughter to see me week because of this. I don't want her to see us fighting about it either. I explained to him this time that it has everything to do with...

hi I'm new here I started posting in the PTSD forums about myself but I didn't get a very good response with my issues so I'm hoping maybe this will be a better place for me. I am just going to copy and paste my original post because it is so long . thank you in advance for any understanding and...

I don't get it, this is a PTSD forum. It is so hard to even talk about especially with the fact that my issue is surrounding something so normal for most people that affects me so horribly. Its hard for me to talk about and embarrassing for me to admit. to repeatedly here get over it, its...

No but it is his fault for lying to me and telling me he could be something that I needed when he obviously can't do that. I wish He would have been honest at the beginning. I would have chose to not get into another relationship after everything that happened. I had hope, I fell in love we had...

I understand porn is normal for some people, it is not for me. It is part of my trauma , it is the biggest trigger I have, is unacceptable to me. I explained all of this to him and the very beginning of our relationship and he agreed that he would not look at porn. I wish I could accept it as...
