    What Are You Feeling Today? Not Thinking, Rather Feeling! Can You Identify Yours?

    I feel tired. I feel shaky. I feel weak and useless. I feel unsure about how my past trauma fits in with what I'm experiencing now. I feel unsure about where to begin.

    Poll Does Anyone Have ADHD in Addition to PTSD?

    I was diagnosed with severe ADD following my trauma. I am currently in medical school, and it is extremely difficult to handle both ADD and PTSD with the added stress of school. I had to take a year off because the overwhelming stress threw me into a very deep depression. I'm doing much better...
