Lee, firstly, I'm a bit new here, but I want to welcome you to the board. I too have a stalker, and I have also been raped. I drank pretty much every day, for three weeks after seeing him following me again; when the restraining order expired. I ended up in the hospital, being quickly detoxed...

I know it is much easier said than done. I'm anxious right now, but I'm trying to calm myself without resorting to eating a bigger dose of my prescription.

I wake up anxious just about every day, through my Clonazepam dose, too. I repeat positive statements in my head and try to calm myself down. I remind myself that it is a safe space, and that I love and respect myself.

I don't own the house. I am not sure as of yet about what to do or how to handle this. Thank you for commenting.

I woke up in an anxious state today, though my medication, because my abusive family is around. My mother's husband verbally abused me some more today; was incredibly negative against me and my new therapist, said lots of mean things, and then when I went out for a drive with my bf, he road...

I have non-combat related PTSD, but the symptoms are similar. I send empathy and online hugs, if you accept them.

Berlinda, I have many of the same problems, and I empathize. Hugs if you accept them.

I am surprised that they don't have you on ASV.

This happened to me right before my nervous breakdown. I went to a sleep lab and they found central sleep apnea. I am now on an ASV PAP and full face mask, when I sleep. I also wear a pulse oximeter with an alarm on it while I am in bed. I even went for a stress test.

It is not the table. It is the kitchen itself. Have not been mentally strong enough to eat in there for a couple of months.

I was making sandwiches to put in the fridge, to have for breakfast, and when I looked at the table, I had a flashback of my bf's late sister; who died of a drug overdose. I saw her, and her son sitting at the table, and it was back to the Thanksgiving they spent with us. That hurt so much. I'm...

OK, cool. Going to go out for a car ride soon to get out of this Hellhole for a little while.

Want to see drunken pic. Where is it?

OK.

I mean I can't even PM a link to who I am. I do not want to get kicked off of this site. Let me put it this way... I have albums out.

I just smiled. Thank you. I wish I could show you who I am, but site rules forbid it, right?

I have only been able to live with/near a couple of kitties. Most make me so allergic.

Exactly, and I don't know what I would do without this site. I am so deeply thankful I found it. You are a rock to me, also. You are so supportive, and kind. I thank you with tears in my eyes.

My mother is one, and has been one for years. I drank to stop panic for quite some time, before I got on the med I am on. The irony is that when I lived with my ex, who beat me, I never drank or had panic episodes, even though it was Hellish. It was still better than being around my family.

Thank you. This video is so true of my life, it is scary.

I tried to link to a YouTube video about adult children of alcoholics, but the site refused it. The title of the video is: Emotional Hunger and Adult Children of Alcoholics

He doesn't drive, so we go out together to get things. Doesn't have the shits, has the opposite, and some flulike symptoms. I'm feeling so sad today. I took a tiny rescue dose of my anxiolytic, but it barely helped, and my family is a HUGE problem. They show up for the weekend, tomorrow.

I can't drink on my anxiolytic, but for now, that's probably not such a bad thing. Off topic question? Are we allowed to put YouTube links to videos that connect to our experiences?

Because of my PTSD, I reached out to two priests, but they treated me as though I were just some nut who walked in, and it didn't feel right. Haven't been back since.

I feel the same way. I have food issues from anxiety and depression. I empathise. I sometimes have to force myself to eat twice a day, and honestly, it's not much. Can't really tolerate most fruit and veggies since my gallbladder was removed, too. I lost abour 35 lbs in two months from the...
