I have chronic aches in my arms and legs and even get headaches from time to time. I've noticed this happens when my symptoms flare up.

So that makes 4 job loses in a row. None of them have lasted more that a month. This company is a transdiciplinary clinic that treats learning disabilities. The director is a neuropsycologist so I thought this job would be good for me. I was wrong. The main reason I'm being let go is lack of...

sounds like intrusive thoughts to me

I sometime become fixated on something and not want to look away. is that the same thing or are you describing something different?

I have a habit of losing jobs. I've lost every one I've had so far. I never make it past one month

and no I don't know anyone suitable. I would like to get an older female roommate who is on social security or something. she won't do anything except sit around and wait for her check to come

job prospects are good. I might have an interview later this week. I have a career advisor who has been faxing out my resume. and my roommate is the one paying the bills at the moment.

my roommate and I don't get along. we argue like cats and dogs. we been struggling with the bills and the stress made it worse. his anger outbursts have become violent outbursts. he has thrown stuff at me and last night he actually slapped me. the neighbors overheard the noise and called the...

my symptoms didn't show up till years later. they showed up after someone pointed out that I witnessed and experienced was child abuse

i been noticing that i might be having problems with crowded areas. i'll be sitting there and then all of a sudden my heart rate will accelerate and my breathing will accelerate as well as if i'm not getting enough air. this will continue for a minute or two and then go away. this has happened...

What about the character Laurie from the remake Halloween? And the character Donna from Prom night? Everything about her was textbook PTSD wise

i usually just wake up and maybe if i'm lucky go back to sleep. is it weird not to yell or making any noises? cuz i don't most of the time.

f*ck no and that's how i want it to stay. my abuser knowing won't change anything. She gonna stay the same wretched woman.

@illusionist i was an adopted child so i know how it feels to be told that even your own real parents didn't want you.

i also got "you should've behaved better and not been so much trouble". really huh? I was never suspended or expelled, never talked back to teachers, didn't get in fights, i have a SQUEAKY clean record, didn't sleep around, didn't party or smoke or drink anything till i was 18, adults loved me...

Just curious to know some of the things people have said to justify abuse towards you and others. i've always got "she gave you a roof over your head and food in your belly. you should be thankful!"

there's no such thing as "family" in my life. just people who are related and live together. i only have contact with one family member and that's a sibiling. She's the only one who knows i have PTSD. And thats how i want it to stay
