My man is so amazing, there wouldn't be any competition. So, why waste the time thinking about it? I've got to obsess about my PTSD . . . until I find the bell boy to take away this baggage.

Thank you for the feedback, especially scout86. I was thinking along the same lines as what your therapist told you but wasn't sure. I was waiting to read a reply about trauma occurring during pivotal moments in brain development or your brain not developed sufficiently to accept such a...

I have to congratulate you for not laughing at him. The visual of an adult male throwing a coat on the floor and jumping up and down would be my undoing. I'd laugh until I peed myself! Sounds like he has a whole bag of issues hiding . . . .

As a child, I saw physical abuse between my parents. I have no traumatic effects from it. I have never abused or been abusive in a relationship, other than my marriage, which I don't count since he hit me, and I put him in jail, which seems like the healthy way to deal with physical abuse...

Your boyfriend sounds controlling. I'm sorry for the blatant honesty. You should be able to contact the people you want. If they are not good for you, it is your mistake and you will have to handle the fall out of your mistake. He may be absolutely correct in his concern; the people from...

I have a difficult time making friends because I do not like to open up to people. Also, I am very judgmental, because I was judged so harshly as a child. And, I think people are still judging me. PTSD controls my life, and I want it to stop.

Oh my God! Thanks for posting this! I do this same thing and thought I was just depressed. I will look forward to doing something, something a lot of fun. Then, once the event is at hand, I don't want to do it. Wow. It's PTSD! Thank you!

Thanks for sharing. Why do people with PTSD capture and release? I did the same thing with my ex fiancé and find myself in flight mode with the wonderful man I have now, who I don't understand why God decided to give to me, since he's beyond wonderful.

Wow. I don't know your exact situation, so please accept my feedback with a grain of salt. When your husband insults you, you attack physically. Do you think you're responding to previous abuse? I can only provide feedback based on what I've seen and know. I know a person who was physically...

I went to one therapy session. The PTSD was too much to handle. I was working as a Business Office Manager and felt so overwhelmed that I couldn't stand being by myself in that big office but couldn't stand to be around other people either. I felt a lot better after the therapy session and...

I have PTSD from my childhood. My one sister thinks I'm insane when I talk about it, since so much time has gone by. The other thinks I should befriend all those people, send them Facebook Friend Requests. Are you kidding me? I don't want their acceptance or approval. I don't want to be...

I think it's important that people understand your PTSD, because you need to work though the whirlwind of fragmented thinking in your head. Unfortunately, people without PTSD don't understand the effects or causes of it. If you say, "I was harassed and bullied by my fellow students and...

I am in my forties and suffered from PTSD from my childhood in silence. When I was in my mid-20s, a super man asked me to marry him. Instead of joining in the excitement of planning my wedding, I completely disassociated from it. I think my brain was in too much trauma to accept happiness. I...
