Thank you for sharing your progress with me! The last few months were just so intense- with my triggers and flashes constantly breathing down my neck. I’m usually a very emotionally “tough” person, but PTSD just makes me feel so weak and out of control. There was a two week span where I was...

You said your flashbacks are like those on tv.....mine are getting more intense (they seem like what they show on tv). The last one was so intense that my eyes even saw me being back there. My reality was visually switching back and forth between the night, and the present. It was more...

I totally get this right now. It’s like when you know you needed to tell someone something important, but you can’t remember- except it’s like your own brain is trying to tell you something you can’t remember. I’m dealing with what is hopefully the worst part of this ptsd from a specific...

First of all, this should have never happened to you! I’m so sorry. I am a Christian who grew up with a father who was a music minister in our church, and he also happened to be a sexual predator. I never stopped believing in God, but I was very pissed off and confused for a very long time! How...

Even with a sense of purpose I still have moments or even days when I am just ready to not exist. Right now I am struggling to be ok with just being. Hopefully this part passes.

You’re amazing! It takes strength to push forward and go out and do things knowing that you may have a sudden trigger. I went to a birthday party the other day and had to hide in a dark room after a stupid balloon popped. I felt like such a disappointment. But, I’m trying to push through and...

My husband and I just went through this- and I guess are still having issues with it. Sometimes my mind feels so clouded and overwhelmed with everything, that I almost go into a zombie state, and I seclude myself from him. Knowing that he is very sensitive to my emotions and everything just...
