I can't believe this bullshit. Things were going at least smoothly. And then, all of a sudden, this psychopath comes back. I tried sleeping last night, and I was real, real freaking cranky. My brother has a child and his GF live in the house, and every damn night they are really, really loud...

This is a huge one, and it's not so simple to solve, but I've been able to sort of identify the problem. I remember one time I had a pretty bad meltdown in front of a class. I was filled with so much anger and hate at the moment, and I let it all out. Eventually I remember the next day the...

Oooh, I know this feeling. I've never really had many stable personal friendships (at least not since elementary school) because of a lot of factors. One thing that has somewhat helped me was finding some pen-pals. There are various pen-pal sites that you can google and set up a profile. What I...

My rage tends to be provoked. Usually when I'm near a stressor, I can get really pissed the f*ck off easily. The immediate anger tends to "wear away", but it never fully dissipates as I've noticed. Usually it's still there and if one little thing pisses me off I'm back into full on rage mode...

@rightkindofme I've learned that corporal punishment should be best avoided. In fact, my dad has actually realized this. If I ever have a child, I want to treat that person with respect and dignity. Wow! I'm definitely not alone! I think the problem that all of us have consequently suffered as...

This brings back some dark, dark times. My brother sometimes still acts in a very similar way. I would have to assume this asshole probably sees every piece of shit that comes out of his mouth as the right answer, and that he cannot lose an argument. That's what it sounds like. He knew you...

I don't think I'm alone when I state this. Whenever I look back at what has happened to me, all the abuse (physical, mental, emotional, verbal, etc in many different forms), one thing that always strikes my find is this feeling of having my childhood stolen from me. I was never given a chance...

I will tell you this right now: I'm a very paranoid person. I have been for a long time. As I've posted before, my treatment at school really affected me into developing a PTSD. The major problem that I still experience though are not just the dissociative episodes, but also the constant...

And now I've returned to the forum. Sorry for my absence, internet bill wasn't payed on time but now isn't a problem for the time being. I should mention my face (and body) has been clearing DRAMATICALLY since I've really made more of an effort. Literally, I've stopped breaking out, and I'm...

@joeylittle - I still don't have an official diagnosis, but given my autism diagnosis (as well as recommendations from a counselor), I should be able to get independent studies.

I no longer have to go to high school (a MAJOR PTSD stressor). My family has agreed to instead take me to independent study. Basically, I attend a different school once a week and I just do some work there. It counts full for my graduation. People can obtain this if they have certain issues. I'm...

Actually, Accutane probably isn't likely. My main problem is my upper body acne. My face is fine. I think I'm just gonna let it clear up, adjust the diet (I talked about this), and maybe use some product.

I understand your rant (I hate those people), but let it be known my acne is a lot closer to your's, with cysts. Yes, I have gone gluten free (though not corn-free; in fact, some corn products are one of the few foods I can eat that my skin doesn't hate), and honestly I plan to keep it that...

As usual, real life disabilities and differences in thinking are used as jokes or stereotypes. Autism and schizophrenia often bears an even stronger brunt when it comes to jokes and stigma, but this looks the same. I'd really just ignore it, as offensive as it might be. No need to give these...

Perhaps your husband doesn't have very noticeable acne. I mean, he is an adult (then again, my brother has VERY noticeable acne, and it's not a pretty sight). Believe me, it's probably a LOT different. Overall, I'm a very self-conscious person, so I kinda freak out over these kinds of things...

I wan't sure where to put this. Today my mom is going to sign us up for new healthcare. Not only am I going to see a therapist that may help me with PTSD, but I'm also considering getting a prescription of Accutane. I have really bad genetic acne. It's not so bad on my face but my upper body is...

Shinedown - Devour Take it and take it and take it and take it and take it all Take it and take it and take it, until you take us all Smash it and crash it and thrash it and trash it, they're only toys Try it, you'll like it, don't hide it, don't fight it, just let it out Steal it and shoot it...

I've been having more than a number of healthy conversations with him and it seems that ties between us and him have been thawing, and it's been incredible. He can hold on to a stable job, has very stable relationships, and is very optimistic for the future. I really appreciate the work and...

Absolutely awful. I had a lot of trouble going to sleep and when I was sleeping I remember having a nightmare about my SpED teachers who were supposed to "help" me go around trying to chase me and put me in a prison cell. I was running frantically and I remember attacking them with my own words...

My mom and dad have been separated for over 9 years. Part of the reason my mom and dad separated was because my dad had really bad alcoholism (he's been sober for 2-3 years now though). During my childhood, I remember so much domestic violence taking place between my mom and dad. It was so sad...

Yes. It feels like f*cking hell, although my experience with PTSD guilt may be different from others on here. I feel guilty for treating other people like shit and being angry at them because of my PTSD, and just not knowing how to manage all that built up anger. Yet at the same time, there's...

Welcome to the forums! I myself have to live with a narcissistic-ass brother who has very little capacity for empathy, and has an incredibly f*cked up perception of the world, and is probably responsible for 65% of my trauma and issues in life, yet with little empathy comes absolute lack of...

I had yet another nightmare that I don't remember clearly. The funny thing is, my mom gave me some kind of medication for me to help me sleep, and this seemed to mellow my perception of it and sort of numbed what was going on. Otherwise, it would've horrified me. But when I woke up, I at least...

Strangely hopeful. I'm usually not an optimist, but for some reason I'm feeling that the future has a lot of good things in store, despite the potentially treacherous road ahead. I'm also feeling a sense of determination: a sense of actually living live and feeling good.

Heh, yeah. I don't know since the whole "relaxation drinks" kinda woo me a bit, but yeah. I know my brother DEFINITELY needs some de-toxing though, given how absolutely shit his diet is (his diet is all junk food; this is a 25 year old, by the way, with bad weight problems). At this point I'm...
