    This may sound whiny

    I know depressed people say no one cares for them but their perception is distorted. But what if everyone really seems Not to care? What if you've run things by people in your life and they see your point? I was fine for so long. Then, 2 years ago, my ex started a custody case that lasted over...

    I can't sleep. what helps you get rest?

    Some nights I can't fall asleep and on the nights I do get to sleep I wake up more than once. It's been a couple of months now. I mentioned it to my P-Doc and he increased my Gabapentin to try to help but it hasn't. I see him again tomorrow but I'm so tired. I have tried meditation and melanin...

    I Disagree With My Psychiatrist

    Ok. I don't respond to others on here as much as I should so I feel a little guilty posting my own problem again. But I would like open honest opinions. It's a little long. I'm sorry. I was diagnosed with PTSD last year about July. I disassociate and have panis attacks. I have had some...

    Am I Hallucinating? Do I Need A Doctor?

    Part of me thinks that I should just call a doctor if I'm even questioning this. Then the other part of me feels silly. I have had a rough few days. I started taking gabapentin a few weeks ago. I love it so I don't think it's a med issue. I just need advice. Since Sat I have had extra anxiety...

    I Abhor The Word "coping"

    That's all. I've had a really rough few months. I have even taken time to write farewell letters to my family. I'm moving passed that but I don't want to cope. I do not want to struggle to learn to cope. I want to work to thrive. So I'm currently very depressed but trying to take a new...

    Ever Just Want People To Be Depressed With You

    I know everyone tries to be encouraging and hopeful. It comes from love. It may also come from worry that any other response will make me worse off. But sometimes I would really like a giant complaint fest. Just a period of time to say what's crappy for me and have the other person reply with...

    Self Help Therapy

    I am not sure if this should be here or in relationships but I think here makes more sense. My sister and I are close in age and grew up with the same crazy mother. I have been talking with her about my therapy lately and encouraging her to go for herself. In our talks we've realized that we...

    Conversations In My Head

    I dissacociate. I always have in certain times and honestly I assumed everyone did until recently. Lately I've been more fragmented than usual and it's been interfering with my life. Part of this newer experience has been conversations in my head. Not auditory hallucinations, but people in my...

    Xanax Making Me Overly Emotional?

    So I haven't been on here in a while. I got my PTSD diagnosis less than a year ago and I've been trying to wrap my head around it. Anyway, this week my doc gave me Xanax (3 times a day) to help me stop dissacociation so much. I started it yesterday. I have been more anxious. This morning I...

    Uncontrollable Emotions

    Last year I lost my job but did find another. Within days of the jobs loss my ex started up a custody battle. During the custody battle my daughter was at the doctor a lot as she was getting diagnosed with a genetic condition (not life threatening and it's under control now). My ex used her...

    I Really Didn't Want To Ask This But It's Bothering Me

    I disassociate, that's not new. What is new is a "blinking" feeling or jerky type thing. I am having a really hard time explaining it and I don't like the way it feels. Sometimes I feel like there is a "glitch in the Matrix" or like time is jumping, less than a second per jumpy feeling. Once...

    Does Anyone Really Relax?

    My therapist wants me to work on really relaxing. He says when I relax that I'm not really every relaxed ... or not like people who don't have trauma. I don't like the relaxation techniques. I don't like feeling like I'm not aware of the room. I feel like I actually hear more when I'm trying to...

    Losing Hours While Completely Inactive?

    I can go to do something and realize an hour or more had passed without me knowing. The thing is, I don't appear to have moved the while time. I have no memory of the time. It can happen at my desk or any where I'm alone (I work from home). I assume this is dissacociation but does anyone else...

    Family Not Helpful - Am I Being Too Needy?

    I have been having trouble for close to a year now. It started slowly and I asked my family for help. I felt like I just needed simple things, like their presence. I did ask for help with house work at times because it just became an overload and felt like someone helping me organize would get...

    I Connected Today

    I don't know where this post would go. It's not REALLY and accomplishment but I wanted to say it anyway. I cried today. This is not a thing, I'm a crier lol. But it was because I have been reading though posts on here and I share so much with everyone. It was just awesome to see that some of...

    Meds .... Yes Or No?

    This is my second post on here. I just joined. I am trying to figure some stuff out here at home and I find that no one in my family/friends can really understand what I'm trying to say to them. I get it. Some things are hard to explain without sounding insane. I was doing great for about 6...

    Can't Handle So's Moods

    I joined here to get some perspective but it's my first time on a forum. There is some background but this is a relationship question. I have had an extremely stressful year and a half. Finally, I just quit being able to hold it together. I'm doing counseling sessions again and working on...
