It is very important that you talk to someone. These are not issues that should be dealt with alone. It is hurting you a lot; some things we need help with and this is one of them. It is scary, but worth it. Reach out.

Hmm, I have never experienced this. As it does not seem harmful towards you, I would not be worried. It seems like a momentary coping mechanism when you're in such an anxious state. My guess would be it's due to wanting to disconnect from yourself and be somewhere else? If so, you could look...

You should not feel bad about this altercation at all. Simply put, your instructor was an impatient and unkind asshole. Throughout our lives, we will be met with such people. It's best to move on; a hard task for many but it must be done. Take deep breaths! Everything will be okay and I'm on...

It's summer vacation, meaning I'm back home to live with my mother. It's so weird; I go from being an open and fun person to reserved and on edge once I'm at home. My pent up emotions usually come out while I'm at college. The self hatred, sadness, and anxiety. When I'm at home I revert into...

I don't know if it's okay to share links on here, but I made a video on youtube about my experience with PTSD. :D I put it under the accomplishment thread because in a way I do feel proud of talking about this. It's like a weight has been lifted off of my chest.

Thank you so much.

My goodness. I am so so sorry Liesel that you are going through this. I can imagine how hard it must be since I myself have experienced being kicked out of my home for a while (few days ago actually, I'm 17). Scrambling for safety and something to eat was awful. It says you're in the US, so if...

Scored a 63, I don't have DID though. I dissociate a lot. The one about mixing up dreams with real life hit home. I always get that and it messes me up big time

Welcome, MommaRose! Despite how hard this year has been for you I'm so glad you're still here and being brave enough to get through each day. You've struggled with all of this on your own for years but you're no longer alone. It's great that you have a support system now. Stay brave, friend <3

Yes, to my baby brother in the past she has slapped him hard in the arm and also spanks him. When really angry she yells at him to shut up and to stop crying. At one point she has dragged him on the floor. I have another brother who is 14 years old, she has also hit him in the past, once using...

My goodness, I am so sorry that happened to you! Your mother sounds dreadful. I hope you were able to get away from her completely and not deal with that anymore. I am glad that you got to lay one on her and let out all that hurt... she deserved it for what she had done to her own child. Disgusting.

Yes of course, I only wish there was more to do. I recognize a similar wounded child within her and I know that's is why she acts so defensive at times. Her emotional pain from all the trauma is taken out on others. It's hard to stay angry at her when I remember this. Fortunately I do have...

I have bad anxiety so it is hard for me to go out but yes I will try my best now to do this! It's hard without a car though I'm sure I'll figure something out. Thank you for your concern it means a lot

thank you for your response, I really appreciate it. My therapist told my mom it would be good for her to get therapy after she threatened to send me to Switzerland with other family and blew up because I relapsed in self harm... she refused though and was offended by it so I don't think she...

ahh thank you for clarifying this with me, I was struggling with thinking I was a bad person for that since I am not usually violent and hate it when I remind myself of her

Hi, wanted to ask a Q regarding something that happened recently. I was on my laptop then my Mom called me to the living room and told me to play cars with my 3 year old brother. She was angry and said that I never took care of him and stayed in my room all day. (This was not true, I take him...

Thank you very much for your answer! I have been diagnosed with PTSD. I asked on here b/c a friend had asked me this while believing they had PTSD and I wasn't too sure. This definitely clarifies though thank you.

Do you need visual flashbacks and/or nightmares to be dx'ed with PTSD?

ASMR - Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response "a euphoric experience characterized by a static-like or tingling sensation on the skin that typically begins on the scalp and moves down the back of the neck and upper spine, precipitating relaxation." People make videos online (usually located on...

Sometimes I call my good friend and just listen to her voice. Laying down and imagining myself laying on soft grass on top of a mountain with a calm breeze. I talk to myself out loud about what I feel, see, hear, and touch. Listening to ASMR online. I also watch my fish swimming in the tank. If...

I feel bad about asking this because I don't know if I'm allowed to call it sexual assault. When I was about 9 whenever I played with my younger brother he would grab around my vagina or my breasts. I remember the first time it happened while we were playing in the dark he wrapped his hands...

Well I'm proud of you for having the courage to even attend these sessions. It sounds so hard what you're trying to work through with your T but you still try again. That's very admirable. And I agree with everyone else, be gentle with yourself. Some things take time and that's okay. Tackle...

I feel empty. I feel alone. I feel sad. I feel unwanted.

Thank you very much to everyone who answered above!! ^ Sorry I realize now it was quite obvious I was having an anxiety attack, I just never felt I had a right to call it one. I took the advice and went to my counselor :)

Today was going well until I reached my first class where we watched a movie which included violent scenes of abuse and murder- what my PTSD stems from. After watching it, I suddenly became very scared of everyone around me and couldn't handle people walking behind me. I saw everything as bad...
