Hey HelenAngel,
Welcome! I found your page today as I am preparing to have blood-work done tomorrow to test for lupus and/or other inflammatory/immune diseases. I am currently 22 yrs old and I have suffered from PTSD for over 6 years now. I hope you are doing well and I would love to chat...
I just wanted to thank everyone so much for their support.
I know I haven't been on here in a couple weeks, but I have had a lot of things going on with school (Final projects, papers, bundles of stress, everything that typically happens at the end of the semester) Also, I got very sick 2 weeks...
That's it, this lady is "coo-coo"!!
So today was the "official" second appt and i was still upset from last week (actually i was extremely agitated) Anyways, I didnt want to talk to her and I was really distant, almost got up and left because I was sick of being in the room with her. So then...
I am so happy for you that you had that experience. I was inspired by this thread and thought that i would tell my roommate that I was a sufferer (not necessarily the details that i experienced)
Well the reception was not what I was expecting. She just kind of said "okay" didnt look at me or...
Hey Moey
I dont have much advice to offer, just the knowledge that if you ever need someone to talk to myself and the people on this site are here to help you through your emotionally painful rollercoaster ride. :Hug_emoticon:

I always knew I was a superhero!!! This just confirms it! lol :)
No I have a very strong intuition, gut feeling or "wisdom voice" as my T calls it. Within a split second, I can get a judgment of someones character that seems to be spot on. My bf also claims that I am sometimes cynical or...
Thanks!!
I never really had PMS symptoms before PTSD (but again i experienced my trauma at 15 so i had only been experiencing my period for a couple years) This post was very helpful in knowing that im not the only one.
Diana, I actually just began counseling this past tuesday on campus...
Hello,
I have noticed over the past few years that I have been having difficulties with dairy sometimes. One day I will be perfectly fine and the next, not so much. I never thought of it being related, but it definitely makes sense seeing as it seems to get worse when I am extremely stressed...
Misdiagnosed PMS Really a Side Effect of PTSD?
I realized about 3 years ago that I was having really bad emotional stress around that time of the month and played it off as PMS. At that time Yaz (a PMDD birth control pill) came out and was supposed to be this wonder drug that controlled what...
Beth,:Hug_emoticon:
Thank you, I really wish you could have been there to give me a hug. I would have greatly appreciated it.
Nicky,:Hug_emoticon:
Thank you so much. It was very difficult to finally write it down (something i haven't done at all since it happened) Over this past week our...
I never even thought of this being the case, but if it is, I have definitely realized that not only do I hate when I feel as if I have been let down, but it was the abrupt change in plans that sent me over the edge.
I know that there have been many times where I have found out that there was a...
Hi Alice,
I too suffered from horrible experiences around the age of 15 and though our experiences were different I very much know the pain that you have gone through over the past few years. I am very happy that you have found this site and I hope you get to experience the help and well...
Thank you everybody
I feel much better now that i have had time to cool down about it, even though I am still a little more stressed out then I would like to be (but wouldnt we all). I am going to try to stick it out for a little bit and talk to her about what happened, and if i still cannot...
I complete understand how you feel.
I never really liked being in large groups, whether they were comprised on strangers, friends or family. But now with everything resurfacing, I'm having difficulties just leaving my room at night to go to studio and get work done. Last year I used to spend...
Tuesday went so well with my therapist. It was the first day and I poured my heart out and then she said "I'll see you on Thursday"
Well guess what, today is Thursday and my session should have started 10min ago but when I called to tell her that I was there she said "oops no we will be meeting...
Nicky
I am sorry to hear about the loss of your sister. I too have pushed away many people who were not quite family but more of a second family to me and I have not had contact with them for many years now because I felt that they too betrayed me by maintaining a bond with my abuser instead...
1st day of therapy
Thanks everyone for your support and encouraging words. :Hug_emoticon:
Today was my first day of therapy and I was a wreck. I woke up about an hr before and attempted to get work done before, but my stomach was in so much of a knot that I was useless. I couldn't eat...
My bf frequently compares my memory to Dori the fish in Finding Nemo because i forget EVERYTHING that he says to me. Its a constant battle of me saying "you never told me that" and him saying ive told you atleast 5 times on 5 seperate occasions.....
I try to hard to block out the bad that i...
I have so many lists, so many schedules, so many calenders, so many reminders. I feel like I forget where half the days goes if I dont know where I'm going or what I'm supposed to be doing.
As some of you may previously know through chats, i'm undiagnosed and have yet to go to see a counselor. Well that is all about to change :) I finally got a call back this morning and I have an apt tomorrow at 9am!!
I'm relieved and nervous, not sure what is going to happen, but happy that...
Fatal Error
So i have been extremely stressed out all week and could not wait to see my boyfriend this weekend. Sadly enough, I was too stressed out to want to be intimate with him. The first night I pretended to be asleep. But the second night I tried to go along with it. The one main problem...
Thank you so much everyone! :Hug_emoticon:
I was so nervous about joining this and expressing myself because in the past no one ever wanted to listen, or they shifted around and gazed uncomfortably whenever I even brought up anything remotely close to what happened. But know i feel so much...
Why do people say "You were doing so good, I thought that you forgot about it?!?!" Is an event that was tragic enough to have you in hysterics and feeling like you were crazy for years really something that you can just "forget" about?!?! No I didn't forget!! As a matter of fact I think about it...
