I'm right where you are in figuring out things, I think, Sir! I'm studying "Shame" and how it relates to my childhood. I think you might be in the same boat perhaps? I've been listening to tons of audio books, and moving on from Anger management to Shame. I'm on a really good book, I guess...

I'm going to print this and carry it in my back pocket. thanks for the direction.

thats where I hope to be, Friday. I'll read that post, thank you!

Thank you Stacy for your input! Very good advice. I've been much more cognitive of my other "quirks" and symptoms now that ive finally been diagnosed, so maybe I can try my new cognitive skills on when I get angry. I'm learning. I need to learn what to do when it's about to boil over. It...

Thanks, Namenotdiagnosis, I appreciate your input. It helps to know of others having the same problem. I just bought 5 books on Anger management, and I think my T may help me find some group therapy maybe, we'll see. I'll let you know if anything helps. me. Best wishes

Sorry to hear that Thuha, I hope you have been able to work on it. It's a mess, i know. Best wishes to you.

I've been tackling my issues with anxiety and the physical aspects of PTSD the past 4 months or so, and now I want to address my outbursts of "rage". I'm sure i'm not alone in that I have rage when I experience anger. Has anyone had benefit from anger management therapy having PTSD? We're not...

I'm now trying zoloft and wellbutrin together in place of the prozac. So far,so good. watching for side effects. Prozac had a sexual side effect that I just cant live with, so i'm hoping it fades as the prozac works itself out. Or maybe I'll be stuck with the same side effect with zoloft. If...

I think i'm noticing music having more rich fuller textures. Maybe it's just me.

Thank you for your encouragement! Yes, once I decided to find out the problem and treat it, i was apprehensive of meds because my mother is fried from psych drugs. But once trying it, i'm on board.. Im surprised to see what its like to feel kinda normal, if this is what it feels like, its much...

Yeah, the prozac broke em up, and just switched to zoloft, and wellbutrin so hoping the success continues.

That could be so, but now i'm on meds, I have peace for the most part, and now have pretty obvious attacks that i learned how to breath through, so im making it.

I'm on 20 mg(still think its too low) of prozac, Angel. Started on 10, but felt I needed more...the sexual side effect is a deal breaker, so just got back from the doc and trying wellbutrin and zoloft. I can understand apprehension for meds, but ive been suffering so long and now that someone...

It wasn't until I started prozac about 2 months after diagnosis that I think I may have broken a permanent panic attack. I've never not felt light a heavy weight is on my chest, and a tickle down my spine like falling. It wasn't until about a month after starting the prozac that it kinda...

Update: Since last message, doubled the prozac to 20 mg, guanfacine at 3 mg, (4 is max for my weight). I can now feel the anxiety just underneith. Like panic attach just wanting to break the surface. I never recognized panic attacks before because apparently Ive been in a perpetual state of...

Those stories are familiar to me as well. My mother had some serious paranoia. At times she'd wake us up and load us in the car to move in the middle of the night. That happened sometimes monthly. As for contact with my mom, I am emotionally detached from her quite thoroughly, but I am her sole...

Iove this. I'm happy you were able to process it. Good for you.

Aw, that sucks! Must not be the right one for you eh? I'm 8 days in now and feel a little more what I think "normal" must feel like. Only negative thing I am noticing, and hope it's just a coincidence is sexual side effect, like a slight "numbing" effect on the body. I hope that particular...

Good point!

It turns down my hypervigilance when winding down at night so I can go to sleep. Otherwise, I need to drink a lot. Now that i'm getting medication from a P for my condition, It's getting easier. MJ is legal in my state, so I don't know if obtaining a "medical" certification is necessary or...

How do you go about finding a ptsd support group?
