I'm writing this as I am in bed about to sleep. It's 01:12 and I'm do tired it's unbelievable. But due to many factors (nightmares, anxiety etc) I haven't been sleeping well. What I'm wondering is can lack of good quality sleep cause pains? In the last couple of weeks as my sleep has been...

First of all, what is this phone app? Secondly, you have proof and show your T and such what is actually going on. They have to believe you if you show them your proof. It's wrong that they didn't believe you, very wrong.. and I know how it feels.. So you're not alone. Hope this works out for you.

The majority of people don't like this kind of music, however, me and my boyfriend do and he said this song reminds him of me. So, I love it now.

To answer your questions izmo; I do like the majority of online communities, however, I tend to stick to sites like this one as I am confident that most of the users are nice and genuinely care. The problem I have with making friends, is that, at college for instance, I am not one to actively...

Thank you all for your comments/advice. I don't have any other interests - other than video games (or anything on my computer), and I don't have any friends. I'm not in college or school and I rarely go out, so making friends has been difficult. I hope to change that when I go to college in...

Thank you for your reply. My therapist is horrible. I hate her with a vengeance, which might be a bit strong, but she's ignored any of my attempts to progress and instead calls me a teenager and that I am fine. I asked to switch therapists and she referred me to a psychiatrist for an assessment...

I'm not quite sure what to do, I know for a fact I am getting overly dependant on my boyfriend. We've been together for 6 months, and for the first month it was touch and go. He didn't know anything about me and I was in a state of 'should I be with him?'/'I want to spend the rest of my life...

This isn't related to PTSD in anyway, but does anyone else get anxiety whilst playing games? I have just started playing League of Legends, my boyfriend is helping me and I'm finding it quite fun. I was too scared to play with other people though so I started out playing millions of custom bot...

Thank you both for explaining the treatment a bit more. I don't want to take medication, I don't think anybody wants to have to take it, but I do want help - with anxiety, insomnia, depression etc. But thanks for clearing it up. It makes much more sense - therapy to 'treat' the PTSD and...

I'm not expecting to get medication, or just have medication purely on it's own. I know that it would be needed in conjugation with other treatment - i.e. getting to the root of my problems. All I want is to get a proper diagnosis and get help. I've scared myself and my boyfriend over the last...

So to clear a couple things up. I'm not officially diagnosed with PTSD. My doctor thinks I have PTSD, as do I and so does my boyfriend. So I want to find a psychiatrist who can first of all, find out if I do actually have PTSD and prescribe medication if I do. I am not a bit therapy person...

Thank you digger1. I'm not particularly interested in charities, the few that I have gone to have been very condescending and a bit too blunt with me which I told them and they told me that was how they did things. Kas_Can_Fly - I've also tried 3 times to get a diagnosis (once with a...

So I guess I can say I am making progress. After a couple disastrous appointments with a therapist who seemed to think I am fine, I made a doctors appointment. I went this morning and mentioned PTSD and that I was finding it difficult to cope, and also that I didn't know what to do. She...

therisa - I haven't figured out anything yet, I'm still trying and usually what does help is calling my boyfriend or doing something else.. TimeToHeal - I'm not on any medication. And I'll try find some- hings that help, it'd be useful in the future I guess. :)

Thank you Justmehere. :) The college application has to be hand written and then taken in, weird college. And I hope so too, I'm going to try spend most of today on the drawing and hopefully with frequent breaks and taking 3 hours to do each part should be alright. Thanks for the tips, I will...

So for the last week or so, the days/nights have been really bad and I'm having nightmares every night and my triggers are almost all the time - it used to be very specific things (like the smell of beer) but now it's getting to where if I see anyone of the male specie it just spirals from...

Thank you all, I really appreciate the amount of advice I have been given. Just a little update, I guess. Good news, I talked to my boyfriend in the last couple of hours whilst he was here and he's being extremely supportive now after I explained to him how bad it was. We've made a plan for me...

Thank you both, I appreciate the time you've both taken. I have written down the majority of my symptoms, but I find it impossible to even think about what happened never mind talk about it or write it - I have tried both and usually just end up in a pool of tears. I can still give them the...

Oh, okay. I will have a look. Thanks.

Thank you Solara, I rang the doctors about 2 minutes ago and got an appointment for Friday so I guess this thread is a bit of a waste of time. However, I am still terrified out of my mind. But, I guess I'll go and see what they say and hope they don't put me down like the last two professionals...

Currently I am seeing a clinical nurse, who really only asks me about the weather. She's useless, doesn't think I have PTSD, which I am pretty certain I do. She referred me to a psychiatrist a month ago, and I had an assessment for depression and at the end of it the psychiatrist told me I was...

I do need to talk to my therapist about this, though I will admit, I lack the backbone to stand up to her. I don't feel comfortable with her, and last time I asked to change (my mother rang up for me) the therapist arranged for me to be assessed for depression, where I got laughed at pretty...

Yes. At my very first appointment with a psychiatrist, after numerous appointments with doctors and therapists, she first of all, barely listened to me, secondly, told me I was just being a teenager. And again at the second appointment a month later, even after I told her I have been getting...

Thank you Echo. I was distraught when she said I was just being a teenager. Yes, I have hormones buzzing around like there's no tomorrow, but I know that what I am going through isn't me just being a teenager. What makes it worse, is my mum seems to have the mindset of 'well, if the doctor said...

Hi, I am from England.. nice to meet you all. ^_^
