I've gained a total of six pounds since taking: Sertraline - 150 mg Clonozepam - 0.5 mg Saphris - 10 mg I'm thinking it's the Saphris, since taking it at night makes me really hungry and makes me want to eat.

Thinking over it, and watching videos of people with the disorder, I'm confident in saying that I don't have hyperthymesia. Like you said, @Fadeaway, it would probably be hell for someone with the disorder to have PTSD.

Then I did a Google-search, and not only did it erase my worries about not being able to remember every second of my life, but it educated me about a type of person. The Google search brought up a Wikipedia article about people who possess a sort of autobiographical memory, like a photographic...

Okay, thanks guys.

I've been self-conscious about keeping one because if I do keep one, it would be a sign that I would still need a journal to recover, that I'm reliant on it for help. Do people without PTSD keep journals/diaries, and is it considered normal? I'm not worried about it being discovered, but I am...

Sorry, I'm no expert on Hawaii's various hotels.

Not just for PTSD victims, but in general, I mean.

Not really. It just makes the memory end and make me realise it's only a memory. It might come back later, though. In any case, I'll try something else, or something...

At least once every day, I enter these states wherein everything I see and experience reminds me of the past. Eventually, I feel myself reliving my traumatic incidents, over and over in my head. My counselor once suggested that I try to relive these experiences differently, akin to what I would...

Okay, I've finished the series, and I have something to say: I can't help but relate many of my PTSD symptoms to the stuff in the books. Like in the books, Harry has this mental connection with Voldemort, and when this connection is activated, the former can see into Voldemort's mind. It shows...

Sertraline - 150 mg (once in the morning) Clonozepam - 0.5 mg (3x a day) Saphris - 10 mg (at bedtime)

I have a therapist I can talk to every other week, but when I get into an episode on other days, I usually try to handle it by myself without other people's help. I keep trying to convince myself I don't need other people in my life to talk to, so I can prove I'm stronger than the illness I'm...

On days that I do do it, I find that I relive more of my traumas than I would have had I not done it. If it's bad, how should I stop?

I go to college now, and I found that I just wanted to say the things I wanted to say to them, but couldn't. My memories and feelings were heavily repressed then, so getting them out just makes it so much better. Just wanted to share with you all.

Like, the flashbacks constantly bombard me with unpleasant feelings when I'm trying so hard to concentrate on reading a chapter of my textbook. So I feel like I have to read it again because I couldn't keep my concentration, and that stunts my progress. It's really hard for me; sometimes I feel...

I know symptoms related to schizophrenia can appear when someone has PTSD, but I've been aware of these voices for six years. My PTSD started around two years ago, though, so I'm certain that it didn't cause me to have schizophrenic symptoms. But I do think the PTSD worsens it.

Biology, Algebra, and History are the subjects that irk me the most. Because when I relearn things in my college classes, it brings back memories of learning those same things in their high school equivalents. And when I think of that, I remember my experiences at high school and how unpleasant...

Three times a day. @anthony Most of the meds I take warn against dizziness, which is the case with my Sertraline. It also tells me to call a doctor if I experience any mood changes: sadness, depression, or fear. I experience the latter two of these daily (depression and fear). Should I alert...

I sort of do. I'm 137 right now but I want to drop to at least 131.

People always teased me about my weight in high school. One of the most uncomfortable parts of their teasing is poking my 220 lb stomach. Whenever I would slap their hand to make them stop it, they would immediately withdraw it so their hands wouldn't get hit. They'd grin in triumph, and I...

I'm on Sertraline, Clonozepam, and Saphris. It's usually like an hour before I have to take my Clonozepam, that I get really depressed. I usually just lay in bed until the memories stop coming. Then, like an hour after taking it, it feels like I can do anything. My doctor told me that Clonozepam...

I remember that someone was sealing up my memory, telling someone that if I ever recalled it, very bad things would happen. And then I consented to having this memory sealed up, and I continued on with life with an ache in the back of my head. I was so afraid that I would remember the memory...

It was my cousin, Albert. He was always mean to me, and he kept calling me fake whenever I tried to act nice; he tried to show that I wasn't a nice guy by always provoking me until I lost my temper. But the one thing I realize from this is that him calling me fake transcended into a mentality...

@FridayJones I'm very, very sorry that you had to go through all of that.

Like when I'm re-experiencing an event, I feel like part of my brain is pulsating. And it's like only a part of my brain that's pulsating, not all of it. I've been having these for a while, and I'm curious as to what this could mean. I haven't told anyone, because I didn't think anyone would be...
