That is something I will have to check into. I hadn't thought about that. Thank you.

I'm not sure if I could just pick one thing. I do know that when you have nightmares about the hell you lived through it doesn't start your day off to well.

Meadowsweet, I have tried trauma focussed therapy. I am very strapped for money right now; I cannot afford going back at this time.

I was in therapy for many years for my PTSD. I am not currently in therapy. I do have a support group that I speak to on a regular basis.

Thank you Nicolette. There are a lot of things going on.... I only talk to my kids about what happened when I have episodes (as I call it) with my PTSD. They attack me for something I cannot help, like being depressed or sad or withdrawn. It wasn't until this year that I even talked to them...

Thank you. I have lived most of my life feeling like I have let my kids down. It wasn't until the last few months through talking to friends that I have realized that I did the very best I could with the circumstances I was dealt. All I want is for my ex to be completely out of my life and to...

Hi everyone. I am also a member on the PTSD site. I just recently found out about this site and thought that this site may benefit me as well since I am a survivor of domestic violence and it is the cause of my PTSD. So, I am going to copy and paste the same introduction from the PTSD site...

Thank you. I will definitely check into the sister site. All of you are very kind.

What does a trauma therapist do? How are they different from a regular therapist?

Hashi, I have tried group therapy before and I do not do so well in groups. I am too shy, I have always been shy. So, I do not open up well in groups. But, thank you for all of you suggestions.

I have been in and out of therapy. I have tried every antidepressant known to man and I do not want medication. I do not like feeling nothing. I haven't taken a nerve pill for years until recently. I have been having anxiety attacks, nightmares, and depression. I honestly thought I was about...

Thank you all for of your response. I do try my best to stay as far away from my ex as I possibly can. But, my kids want something that I can't give them and that is for everybody to be one big happy group. Any time I have told my kids I could not attend something because I could not be around...

I was diagnosed with severe depression 20 years ago after escaping 6 years of domestic violence. And several years after that I was diagnosed with panic disorder. And several years after that I was told that it was PTSD all along. Unfortunately, due to my mental state, my ex gained custody of...
