Wow what an amazing story! Thank you so much for sharing. Reading things like this makes me feel that maybe I can become this open. Thank you

Awesome oh brave one!!

I gotcha. Well try to look at it this way> You are actually saying it. You are saying "I'm in denial", which to me says that you really aren't but I think it's all part of the "process". Our brains have to have these breaks so that we can survive right? I do that all the time, especially when I...

The problem I have is that now I get angry because I could have done it a lot sooner. Then I have to tell myself No, you couldn't of, you weren't ready. That is a hard "pill" to swallow! Working toward not having regrets. It feels like a long road.

Hi there, I just saw your post from Last Spring talking about getting your job and how you aced it. So there is proof that you really can do it! My thoughts are with you today and hope that you look at your old post. It is inspirational!

That is totally BRILLIANT! It took me years and years and years (did I say years? lol) to ask for help. You are very brave and will have a better life because of it!

Wow! You are really inspiring! A real survivor and a very strong person! Thanks!

Thank you so much for your story and how candid you were. It gives me hope seeing someone having this kind of success

Love that quote!

Hi. Sending you Big Hugs (If you will accept them) I have also been in a position where I just wanted to end things. It is an awful place to be. Remember that you have been strong enough to survive your whole life up til now. You have taken care of yourself and you are taking care of yourself...

Nice. Thanks so much for telling me that. It's pretty incredible how we can go on for years but like you said not being ready is a strong deterrent. But what can you do, if you are somehow muddling through no one else sees how bad it is either. Almost like a catch 21. Thanks goodness we are...

Thanks for the encouragement to be myself. I think that out there we have to pretend so much to get by that it is exhausting. :)

Hi there, Wow that is a lot to deal with. I had an instance at work (when I was working, now on disability) when I was off work for 3 months due to panic attacks/anxiety. PTSD is so commonly talked of now and accepted as real. If you have a doctor or therapist/psychiatrist you would probably...

Thank you!

Hi there, sounds like you are really struggling. Would you be willing to go to counselling by yourself? It may just help you to deal with him and learn how to take care of yourself better. It's also nice to know that you have someone to go to. It is important to listen to what you need and what...

Thanks so much! I'm looking forward to it and glad to see that there seem to be a lot of long-time members!

I'm starting to find out some things that< if I can get myself to practice, may be helpful for symptoms. I am going into a weekly group at my hospital soon and they do not go through processing the past but teach tools to deal with symptoms. A couple of things that I want to explore are mindful...

Thanks so much!:shy:

Hi everyone. So grateful to find this forum and to have others to talk to and read about. Struggled all of my life not knowing that I have PTSD. Also depression, anxiety disorder and sensory overload. I was always searching. I've had years of therapy and years of making unhealthy decisions. I...

Can you please tell my what PMR is? Thanks. I too rarely go to malls or places where there are a lot of people. Also, people together in a small room for any length of time. It's like I just suck up all the emotion, let alone what the talking in close quarters does to me. I am still forgetting a...

Hi there. I just joined. I can't believe that I found this site. I have experienced auditory sensory overload for most of my life but it took a lot of years to realize what it actually was. I always just thought that I couldn't handle things. I felt inadequate and ended up quitting a lot of...
