    Self Forgiveness

    Well. I think you should let it go and deny these things that the world conditions us by. Its very common and actually brings people into a self obsession when they try to convince us we need to forgive ourselves and learn to love ourselves. Listen to the word,'forgive" really carefully. The...

    C-ptsd, Never Had Dissociation?

    I completely agree with you on this. I am not sure who you were responding to. I am just replying because your comment came after mine. I just want to give you reassurance and confirm I agree with you and did not imply or intend it is a personality disorder. Though it is coded as itself as a...

    C-ptsd, Never Had Dissociation?

    Responding to the original post thread. It is true there is no code for C-PTSD in the DSM-V. There are some Psychiatrists who have given the diagnosis. As I have seen interviews with Psychiatrists of the Psychiatric Association with their clients. You can look them up on line and easily find...

    Poll Which Ptsd Symptoms Bother You The Most?

    My trigger panic attacks. ( I am not sure how to put it, or separate it, or describe it.) Maybe it should be described as day-terrors.

    Poll Do You Have Secrets About Your Trauma That You've Not Divulged To Your Therapist?

    I have been with my PTSD "T" for over a year now. He is male; so I kept some things from him and tried to seek out a woman, T. That did not work out so well. I tried to seek out another woman, and that search did not go so well. I went to go seek out another woman and found a program, and I...

    Analogy: My Ptsd Feels Like...

    My PTSD feels like I have a horrible monster living inside me. It gets out sometimes, and rips apart my insides scratching at the wall of my body inside, bringing me into its mind of the horror inside itself. People come to my cage and cannot see me, the cage or the monster. They are so far...

    Is It Possible To Heal (completely) From Ptsd??

    My experience is: I believe P.T.S.D works a lot like average physical injuries. It all depends on the trauma to the person. Though injuries heal; Evidence of the injury may remain, but not be painful. Some injuries may not heal correctly, and have continual painful effects.Some may also depend...

    Bouts Of Screaming

    I am not sure under what title to put this exactly. I guess it could be under panic attacks. I know what panic attacks are. It just seems a little off from panic attacks. Being that I have had different experiences with what happens with panic attacks without screaming. So this is why I do not...

    Poll Ptsd- Still Widely Misunderstood By People

    Yea I would say that to. I have isolated myself because of that. After hearing hundreds of these insults for being in pain and having PTSD it does that. People could say you do not have to tell people and keep it to yourself. Which is another insult. I mean. I don't go out and throw it in...

    Poll Has PTSD Caused You To Attempt Suicide?

    Just want to say those would be my words at times also. I do say that and think that many times. A while back ago I came to the thought that its not that I really want to die.

    Poll How Do You Cry?

    I used to cry quietly. I wouldn't say it was silent per-say. Maybe sometimes. Since a certain trauma about 8 yrs ago. I went into a shock and I just started crying loudly and screaming.

    Poll Has PTSD Caused You To Attempt Suicide?

    That was hard to answer. I think its missing a choice of a couple to a few times. It jumps from once, to many times. Reading it again...I guess your asking the question of an actual attempt of taking action to do it. ...and it relating to PTSD. (My thoughts are most people who attempt suicide...

    Poll Exercise And Ptsd

    I believe that exercise is good for PTSD. I used to get out and exercise. Not systematically, but walking around town causally going to certain points and keeping in contact with people, getting at least a mile worth of walking in and make sure I am not isolated. Then I went through more traumas...

    Poll Empathy/compassion - How Much Do You Have & Why?

    Way to much for me. I used to think nothing anybody does is going to change that. I have had extreme things happen to me for caring. Got really burnt.
