It's been almost 5 years. I'm back in the industry where I got PTSD, different job. I'm in a job probably a level below where I was when I left. I've been in this job for around a year. It's stupid difficult. It's a setup for failure because of quantity of tasks. In addition to that, I can't...

Call her. I had the same debate today. I decided not to wait. I called. It was a good choice.

I have had a really stressed relationship ever since my trauma. The problems were there before, but it really set off a ripple effect. I've been trying to work to patch things. I've seen efforts on my husband's part. However, we have one issue that isn't going away. He is a crazy picky eater...

I became a cliche. I stopped taking my meds for a few days. I felt better, but more than that I was tired and impatient. I thought it was over. I was ready to forget. Ready to move on. I had some bad reactions from a pharma manufacturer over a month ago. But even after i got better medication...

Ya, I've got a therapist. Was trying to post about a break through I had in hopes of sharing. Maybe I'll get back to it later. Ya, tonight I feel like dust. Good night's sleep should help. I've probably said it a thousand times, but this is so much harder than I ever imagined. I remember after...

Caution i talk about violence below. Please dont read if you could be triggered. That's happened to me before on a post. But I'll be PG. The thing that caused my ptsd caused me to have to hide. I was alone. I was just waiting for them to find me. Waiting to fight for my life. I was waiting to...

Ptsd is a disability. Mine is not debilitating enough to qualify for SS. Yours soundsike it could be. Look up the criteria. It's a long long process and hard to do with ptsd as it was a HUGE trigger for me. Maybe you can get a nonprofit to help you with the process. And lots of meds make you...

I read a book called "boundaries" my trauma. My therapist recommended it as i was being punished for being a victim by the relationships around me. I had always heard about having boundaries. I thought i had them. Then i read the book and realized i had no idea. My mom and sister have the book...

I'm so happy to see this here. There are so few support groups for ptsd. When my trauma happened, no one could accept it. People's reactions were just crazy. I think they were shocked that I struggled. I'd always been the strong one who made it through loads of ridiculous events when most people...

Responsibility has kept me on this earth too. I thought of a friend of mine and then realized I couldn't do that to her. Something I never realized till I saw someone else commit suicide, suicide hurt more people than I thought it would have. Also, it's expensive. So you would be a greater...

I hear you. So hard to trust people now. Even when logically I can tell that people like me, I still feel rejected. It's hard. Part of my issue has been that people I thought would be there when I needed them weren't. I had a support structure. It failed me. So I also have a hard time putting...

I am so sorry. This is terrible. I have been through similar issues. Before I even read the end I had concluded he was a cheater. Looks like you confirmed that in the end. I'm no expert, but it doesn't sound like he is cheating because of ptsd. It is probably things from his childhood, but that...
