Rowing would be PERFECT, that’s tough stuff!! Get those clothes off that thing and go at it? I’m so glad you feel welcome here

Hey, Osiris! As a person that also doesn’t like to do medications, my suggestion even though it’s tough to do each day for me is heavy exercise. If I exhaust myself, I sleep heavy enough I don’t remember my dreams or wake up in sweats because my body chooses to repair vs. sweat, shiver and...

I'm grateful for 4 month old puppies, my one year old puppy, did I mention puppies??!! lol

I'm grateful for crushing it at work today after several days of just not being able to concentrate.

Totally understand and so sorry. That is the complexity of PTSD, if it wasn’t what traumatized you, you can swim in the pool.

@Lionheart777 , you bring up a good point that might be helpful to this person. I still live with symptoms of PTSD as well, even though I’m now not living the nightmare of cutting myself to the point of passing out, breaking TVs, and having panic attacks to the point of pooling drool on the...

First off, I love your name and love that you are asking questions. Good for you, it shows your spark. While I don’t believe in god helping everything and blah blah blah, I believe im the beauty and strength of people. You are still here. Some days, that might be the one thing at night you say...

Yep Zoogal- just wanted people’s other possible experiences with this or suggestions on how they have alleviated really high situations with at risk people while in public. He literally made us all feel like he was going to shoot up the place. It was heavily alarming and I’ve never been in the...

@ladee- " nature is my church" I almost cried when I read that. I said that twice just today. She is the most beautiful mother and teacher of all in my option.

Healing in progress and others, again hope I'm not sounding like I'm mad hating on your choices. I just through my life's travel have seen how much doing something through the church where people are saying this is the way to do this whether it be wisdom or their own experience- It's so...

Not sure how to make this as short as possible- I've been on here for several years and I used to be REALLY sick. Nearly ruined my marriage, cut myself a few times, broke a TV, drank myself to sleep WAY too many times, and wouldn't leave the house for three weeks at some points. Panic attacks...

Ive been in therapy in and out so many years of my life...some of it was christianity based (my mom’s push) then Buddhist based with meditation, and then with zero religion/practice what so ever. I haven’t been to therapy in a year because the zero based has gone so well. In my experience, I...

First- through therapy- Ive found sometimes basic care is the best self respect you can give yourself for the time being. Whatever place you are at - go you and keep going. Second to answer the question- I do things that vary all the way to forcing myself to workout more, schedule massages to...

My husband and I are getting tight on bills and I need to jump into a job before my usual summer seasonal job--I'm really having serious anxiety and having a hard time finding jobs that fit a person with C PTSD. I need a flexible schedule, I like working alone, I can't take high...

Hi- Im a sufferer and stumbled upon this on highlights hopefully this helps a bit- I agree with all said here and unfortunately in all honesty I drink 3x more than he does and Im a female. As long as he is seeing a therapist, this is totally normal and you shouldnt worry. Self medicating is...

So proud of you!! Pat yourself on the back. Even with a rude person’s actions, you protected yourself, took breaks and got through it.

I feel what you are going through, I have been avoiding family get togethers for years, especially Thanksgiving and Christmas because that requires me to fly and I'm still not great in very stressful, overcrowded places like an airport/plane. I tried every excuse in the book this year and my mom...

THAT I can totally relate with. Ive done SO much trauma work and after nearly having to consider divorce because each time we had sex we were coming from such polar opposite places- me: after my therapist made me open my rotting can of worms of my child molestation, mental abuse and college rape...

I think something really pretty is going on here at the end and I want to make sure everyone including myself takes a tidbit of it-- I think with this website while we all know we are here as sufferers of some general sort, maybe we still need to communicate with this support group just as we do...

Thx @Justmehere - I was and am still quite easily triggered by my weight. It's a VERY long story. But thing is, he knows that. So why further poke the bear? Support me, don't shame me. And- The whole part of this website is, we have some problems. Lets try to work through them. But when your...

Scarlet can you call a family member thats a good listener? GOOD job scheduling an appt with a T. I hope it helps as much as mine did with this. But it sounds like you just need to speak with someone now to release some of this out of you between talking to the line or the t.

@Scarlet13 — OH Im Sooooo sorry.. the phone line situation is seriously frustrating. I agree with others that we have to try to understand they are doing the best they can, but I hear you on how critical people responding is to people on the opposite end of the phone. I wrote on a post about...

@somerandomguy - I would say yes to both on your question. He has been overstressed at his job for months, many nights comes home and has had a pattern of taking some cruel “verbal shots” at me, while Im going to therapy where one of the biggest things we are working on is to start finally...

I am someone that's been in several years of therapy now, some I don't know how they got approved and my latest, who is more based in Eastern therapy, spirituality and healing and amazing. My spouse really triggered me this week by saying after dinner when I stated I was going to grab a...

I have sat in my words for two weeks now. (aka live special moments for them.) i have really tried hard to back my crap up. As much as an artist, metalhead, woman who wants more Portishead in her life, I am probably the "crazy bird lady" of my street, (im Not an old bat?) but believe me, it...
