Thank you for the response. The doctor said to me the same about sertraline and recommended me to look also on the page e-lactancia.org for more info to calm me. I know that lorazepam is just to calm down the anxiety, prescribed for a short period of time. But I am very unsure if even this short...

Hi! I was recently diagnosed with severe depression, anxiety and c-ptsd. After years of fighting alone, somebody actually is trying to help. The psychiatrist was very nice, asking me why I didn't try to get help earlier. I told the truth, nobody believed me, when I was was searching for help...

I feel you totally ;)

Hello! It is a very supportive community indeed. A lot of people with such kind hearts, despite their own injuries – it feels like a blessing, being here and interacting. The very emotional and spontaneous confrontation reminds me of something from my experience. When, in a moment of feeling...

When you take a short walk and end up in a strange place, not remembering how the hell you got there. And when you check the time and realize it must have been much more than a short walk. AND when you have to turn on the google map on your phone to get back home. When your partner confides in...

I have a similar problem. I blamed my hormone problems mostly, but it turned out it's not the whole story. I had an occasion to separate from the environment that reminded me all painful experiences and to live away from it for some period. So, I didn't interact with persons connected with my...

Thank you all so much, you don't know how much I appreciate it. I've actually tried to search for help earlier. When I was a teenager, the worst were that heartaches that couldn't be explained, so te doctor said I'm just oversensitive and should take some calming herbal pills. Then, around two...

Hi, WishfulThinking :) I've been searching for answers lately and I concluded that my experiences weren't traumatic, compared to others' ordeals. It's just me, I am the problem, it isn't nobody's fault that I am as I am. I just see that people have real problems and I should just go over it, as...

"Your score of 62 falls in the range of Severe Depersonalization (25-75).We recommend that you be evaluated by a professional who is trained in the administration of the full SCID-D interview." - is that really depersonalization? Or just my personality? Maybe I didn't understand the test...

I've been in Spain for 2 months and I haven't had night terrors at all. Strange, at home in Poland I had them almost every night. Now, I have only mild nightmares from time to time. Last night, I had some bad dreams but they weren't intense, and I think only before waking up in the morning. I...

I have a depressive mood lately so I go to bed around 3 a.m. Last night I had usual nightmares about being lost, trapped and of course about dead bodies (have absolutely no idea why I've been having this 'dead bodies' issue since my earliest childhood), a few half-conscious night terrors...

Hello, Princess101. I am new here but I am amazed how people care here for each other, despite their own injuries. I am sure many of them read your post but for many it's hard to focus on reading and answer - precisely because they can relate to it and it's painful for them. I have no ptsd, only...

Oh, thank you all for your responses. I should be more courageous and take that atarax, you made me feel calmer about it. Nah, the doctor was just annoyed by me, he has so many patients and it’s surely exhausting – and I come with my silly complaining ;) I don't blame him. I’m not diagnosed...

Hi. I’m not a ptsd sufferer but I’ve decided to seek some professional help in the close future. Can't now because I will be abroad for a few months. I’m flying soon to my traineeship and will go to my family doctor asking for general blood testing, as every year. I went to my family doctor a...

You know, it is very possible you experienced a night terror – often you don’t remember it even if you appeared awake. It looks very much like a panic attack, sometimes you come to your senses after this with feeling you cannot breathe because of the big ball in your throat. I often scream...

Thank you, Abigail. I think that being sensitive is beautiful indeed – I just believe I have too much of it ;) I try to dismiss that deeply rooted feeling that I could avoid some things or be at least stronger. I think about others who endured some harsh moments and I don’t call them weak – I...

I want to thank you once more - it's great to meet people who actually care and devote their time to read :) Maybe you’re surprised that I’m writing on an English forum – it’s because when I write about myself in a foreign language, I feel less ‘attached’ and it’s much easier for me that way :)...

Oh, thank you so much for the response! So helpful, I must now think it over. I really want to improve myself, for the sake of others – I don’t want to hurt them. I’ll answer more later - waisted time on a headache ;) Thank you once again!

Hello! I apologize in advance for mistakes, English is not my mother tongue ;) I have been wondering recently about the difference between hsp and c-ptsd. I’m not sure which one relates to me. I’m told very often I’m just over-sensitive but I’ve accidentally learnt about c-ptsd and started some...
