Hugs to all our American ptsders who I'm sure would have to be shaken up by this badly, thinking of you all. Now the gun debate again right? Which will only result in everyone feeling offended and pissed off and nothing will change anyway. Just throwing my own offensive opinion in for the...

You are spot on. I've been thinking about going for emdr, so you recommend it? How long have you been doing it now? Be super interested in your opinion of it, and how it works

Have you been developing any coping strategies for daily life with your counsellor? If so spend your last sessions reinforcing those perhaps. And just spend more time here :)

Thats sounds pretty intense, and not much different to the cbt I used to work my way through flashbacks years ago. Also similar to how I treat my anxiety (not always successfully lol) But the depression and disassociation I've yet to talk myself out of haha

Yeah, you better get a lawyer. This will be sticky. Interestingly though, you say the ukranian law cannot be applied to your son right? Well I also know that a judgement placed on a custody agreement in one country means squat when the child is in another country. So your son is...

Ocd sounds like a real pain. I dont have any experience with it, what treatments helped you with it? I'm betting that if you are strong enough to work your way out of ocd, then most of your other symptoms would be a walk in the park!

I read all this the other day. And struggled to believe this was a real case and that the submissions were really written the way they were. Probably the thing I found most difficult to believe was that this frat boys Father spent all that money fighting for his sons right to freedom, hiring...

You make mistakes too. Not everything that was wrong here was on me.

They really are a joke aren't they :( Seems a rather serious situation with you having been so unwell for sometime now, you'd think the specialist would have taken more care prescribing to someone in your condition. We place too much faith in our doctors I believe. Hope you will be giving...

Hard to know when to call quits isn't it. I had 8 years worth and while I changed and grew a lot in that time, I still walked away with a mountain of baggage I wasn't ready to tackle yet. Only just starting to identify much of it this year, and its been 10 yrs since I saw my psych.

Is it necessary to disclose your condition upon applying for a job? I personally wouldn't. Because I would assume they would look at someone without issues over someone with them. That doesn't mean you wouldn't receive support once you are settled in the job and have shown your worth. My...

Awesome decision :) You wont regret it, I feel like you could definitely use some tlc and good support while you pull yourself out of this hole. Best of luck @sonicwhite, keep us all posted!

I love this. And I believe it lol

Throughout my life I've avoided doctors, hospitals and even my own medical issues like the plague. Mostly because I have an intense fear of not being believed or taken seriously and every experience I've been forced to have with our medical profession has resulted in me feeling like I have to...

Yeah, Eves right, rehab might be of assistance. You need some care right now. As for feeling good, you'll need to change your perspective. When I quit drinking I tried to replace it with external things that make me feel good. Doing something nice for someone. Achieving milestones I could...

Lie down with him then. Put him on your chest so he can feel your warmth and heartbeat. Is he fed? Dry? Let him cry a little while, breathe deeply and focus on bringing your own heart rate down. This used to work with my youngest who had a sensitive stomach. Which reminds me to mention...

They say its the whole 'live in the now' concept that Buddhists preach that helps to bring contentment. Think only of what needs to be done now, and never focus on yesterday or tomorrow. I've tried it. Worked on it for a long time. But succeed? Sometimes I can pull it off for 5 minutes...

As much as I love my kids, I do not miss these stages. But I miss their sweet smell. Watching them sleep. The excited feeling at every single milestone (who ever thought before they had kids that one day you'd be standing around a pot with poo in it, cheering?) Those lazy mornings in bed...

I used to wish my kids Dad could feel what I felt for just one minute so he could grasp how much harder to change it all than he thought. I eventually realised that he just didn't want to understand, not that he couldn't. Everyone CAN if they try. Some are just too absorbed. You dont need...

Sounds like an awesome kind of healing to me. Get your therapist to help you work out what's most important so far as the impact your trauma has had on your life, an impartial view will help heaps. So far as reading it yourself or getting another too? Thats a HUGE step. It could be...

Rage and disassociation were my only company in my early 20's. CBT was the only thing that helped. Meds made the detachment worse, and talking about my past over and over again made me more furious. If you cant always identify your triggers (which can be hard when you are in such a bad way...

But not too much magnesium!! Too much makes toilet visits rather, errr colourful I learned ahaha. They say to try get as much of all your daily needs by diet as possible because supplements aren't absorbed as efficiently by the body, but man! Imagine how much we would have to eat to get those...

Yep. This. Not only is b12 deficiency linked to most of the symptoms you just described but it also exasperates the anxiety and depression we carry with our ptsd. I've had some super random symptoms crop up just lately, at the same time my anxiety is reaching the point I struggle to control...

You would think he would know by now. And by your tone and manner also. But you know, how girls feel doesn't always compute in the mind of how boys feel. He's thinking that swinging his wang round and singing im too sexy is the ultimate appropriate mating ritual and cant understand why you...
