The first thing you have to realize , is the cravings for meth are going to come , thick and fast and they will not let up for a while, sure you'll have many periods when you dont crave , but they will always come when you least expect it. The cravings are born from a decrease in dopamine and...

Sonic all drugs have a reaction , particularly if you start regular use , the downers like Heroin will give you depression at a different level than say weed , weed can have different reactions for different people but any abuse will have its costs. Speed is deadly for reactions and the after...

i tend to disagree with your Anthony , i left my wife over 2 years ago and we both enjoy the friendship and neither of us wants to go back - when you have kids and share the parenting , it can make a world of difference to them if it remains on a mature footing, even if there wasnt kids we would...

i understand your dilemma , its not an easy situation to be in, but above all of this what is most important is your own health. I find it concerning that she states you are not listening , or rather not hearing her, how much listening do you have to do in order to satisfy her and i have found...

Why do i need a relationship like this , as it stands it sounds like no relationship at all , but rather a dependency or a need to have someone regardless of what you are getting out of this. How can you say you love here , when its clear that there is no hope of a healthy love growing in what...

No your not being paranoid, sadly when we lose one of our own kids, it takes a long long time to come to terms with everything - l lost a seven year old son , he was hit by a car , its nearly 20 yrs ago now but i still have times with my kids where i am scared they will not come home or be hurt...

And in all honesty mate...a Daddy never lets go

Laurie , through many years with my older daughter , it was hell. I didnt know i had ptsd and went from one disaster to the next. But somehow i held onto her and tried to do whatever i could and most times it was never enough. For many years she almost hated me but at the same time still wanted...

I tend to agree with you on this and yes i have been guilty of talking about marijuana , I don't think the forum should be free and open to anyone , particularly minors. Its always been a great concern because nowhere else are minors mixed with adults. I don't care what anyone says, i...

i can fully relate to how you feel and im not just saying that. One of the hardest things to conquer is trying to create a new normal. But we both know the end result , sure you will feel great for a very short period of time, but the difference now is your armed with some insight and no amount...

my first suggestion would be to let her go in some ways and really put that energy on yourself. Im sure you may understand that when someone loves you and you cant reciprocate , it becomes a never ending stress. Let it fall back into a friendship and just try and enjoy each other as individuals...

lm so sorry to hear about your loss Sammy , my thoughts are with you

i have tried several different SSRI's a few years back , it made me far more suicidal , and basically just off. I will not take them ...period...i think any benefits get far outweighed by the side effects and have been aware of these studies for a while , drug companies have also been caught out...

A young lady confidently walked around the room while leading and explaining stress management to an audience with a raised glass of water. Everyone knew she was going to ask the ultimate question, 'half empty or half full?'... She fooled them all... "How heavy is this glass of water?" she...

@Solara - outgrown the forum ? why is it you feel the need to be somewhat nasty ? does it go with your blindness that somehow you think your above others ? dont let the door hit you on the way out

what state are you in ?

i can relate somewhat , i made a conscious decision to make some pretty big changes and have been successful so far , but yesterday even though i had complete control of a terse situation , i found myself falling down the rabbit hole so to speak, i came home and it opened up like someone had hit...

sometimes people just cannot understand , it may be a safety mechanism for them , it may be that they too suffer a mental illness and are focused only on themselves. My mother does not understand at all, but im ok with it , shes had a tough time and has had enough trauma and tragedy to last a...

My Therapist communicates with my psychiatrist who i rarely see but is a fantastic dr and my pain management doctor has spoken to my psychiatrist and is very aware of my ptsd and is also a fantastic doctor, my therapist has the rights to communicate with my pain doctor but never has, as i play...

Hang in there @sonicwhite , i remember when you first posted, and you've come a long way , don't let things get to you, go and seek a second opinion, and from what you have described its clear your suffering - who cares about labels ...it still doesn't alleviate pain, just get support and help...

i sometimes tie a string to my kids toes whilst there asleep and attach something noisy

i would have put a blue dye tab in there :) nothing as therapeutic as a good laugh

Thank you for your kind response @DancingBull , it puts a better perspective on things. Sadly i think its going to be a long time before society either accepts or understands the PTSD. I know when i have shared it , the first question im asked is where did i serve, so i do understand your...

i had no problems stopping it or clonidine , but since i've stopped my blood pressure is always high , beforehand it used to be perfect with the exception of when i got upset
