As a Farm and Ranch worker, I tend to work a lot. Seven days a week. All that work really doesn’t matter at the end of the night but I throw things at it as needed. If it’s really bad, I pop a couple of propranolol while laying there doing my thing. I might take some Benadryl or L tryptophan in...

I get a slight feeling of unawareness if I am real spacey that way. Like a dumbed down affect from unawareness. Couldn’t help but notice a couple neurons firing in the way of intrigue. If it is OSDD-classifications, I don’t recall looking in a mirror in that state. That is more of a state of...

That very very much resonates with me as well. Especially the losing objects, misplacing things. There is entirely way too much going on in our heads. Left my own devices, I can be a mess and without God as I know it, if I actually remember it’s there, can help me ground. Curious? Do you...

I’ve gotten myself in pretty bad sorts before myself. I’d take note how much sleep you are getting. What about trying to get to sleep? Any voices? Onset schizophrenia I’ve read is very unpleasant to say the least. Voices come on like a freight train and literally prevents sleep. Inner chatter...

Yes I guess I was one of the other ones that had a bunch of stuff coming up.

These guys are solid. Been listening to them a long time as a way to relax and reset. Never ceases to amaze me the emotions that can be drawn out of music. Headphones yes??

Memory is strange to describe. A kind of patchwork. How do you describe, perhaps a slide show of layered images, sequential within a flash of thought. Our brains are mapping everything. I guess one might remember some endearing moments, some not, and some, really not. The scary ones I have...

Yes forgive yourself for having to act and letting her walk on you. You can forgive her too for not accepting you and being the way she is. However you want to do that up to you what you can do. In your mind or in person. Since she is a narcissist, it could very well be that it isn’t a...

Almost exactly what you said. Copy, paste, print. They will know exactly what a trauma therapist is and whether they have one or not. No confusion there. Mention PTSD and they will know you are in it for a long haul. Last office I went to, I filled out a bunch of paperwork and they asked me...

I got nothing. You nailed it ha ha. But no seriously, I have some thing I am listening to right now. Oh yeah.....

I am no expert but I didn’t want you to wait too long to know someone was listening. I think what you experienced is kind of common. Your feelings seem understandable. I think the first step if you haven’t already would be talking it over with a trauma therapist. They can help you orient your...

I know, I know. I feel like sometimes people are in sort of a scramble to get done what they need to get done and be as safe as they can. They see someone without a mask and they give you a wide berth or they complain even possibly offering you a mask… it is hard but the threat is real and I...

I second that. Face shields aren’t normally used by themselves to protect against something like this and there are some pretty serious advantages to wearing both. However, if you really can’t bring yourself to wear a mask, a face shield is a whole heck of a lot better than nothing. Provided...

I had it from March 6 to April 11 was when I said “you know what I think I’m just about back to normal.” It was very difficult because I live on a farm and I am basically the one running the show on the ground. Somebody else handles the business end of things. My first symptom was a scratchy...

I would like to know the same. Is it supposed to coexist and be quelled? If so how because nothing on the Internet has told my brain to slow down and consider my options. My brain short circuits and is overriding my better judgment. Perhaps that is something I will have to develop and learn over...

I hope I am not double posting because I hate that but I wanted to add that the best mask I have ever worn as far as comfort goes was the one that is sewn from the top to the bottom. I think the one I bought was black and it has like a pleat or it’s peaked all the way down. This accommodates...

In through the nose and out through the mouth yes and also the controlled breathing technique with the tongue on the upper roof of the mouth with pursed lips. I do that when I am really in the throes of things. However, I only ever found it as maintenance breathing and I don’t use it anymore...

No no you are good. I think I read it and it struck a chord. I think I was venting to that end. I know you never would.

I hear you. My stepdad lost his power one night when he was stoned. He tried to put me over his knee when I was 11. I asked him in front of the rest of my siblings “why do you want to touch my butt?” I feel like there was a fighter growing in me from day one. There were too many people around...

My brother and I experienced this has small children often at the same time. We were also hit with a belt. I would experience many other things in my life later on one of which would result in my onset. Therapy definitely pinpointed being stripped down from the waist and hit with the belt as...

Welcome Allison. There are so many answers here! I was diagnosed 11 years ago and used to frequent this site. Oddly, even after my onset, anger was not a big part of my life but I am quickly developing something that looks an awful lot like intermittent explosive disorder. I have been dealing...

One of my traumas that is of significance to me when I read this topic comes to mind. It was likely responsible for the onset of my condition. However many other Trumatic things happen to me in my life including guns being pointed at my head and such. The incident in mind was my first panic...

Haha! Costco‘s whole chicken dinner deal with cheesy Mac. I got to say, it was pretty fricken amazing really. Not all that refined but good in a tasty/comforting way.

Ugh. That is the worst. I describe it as a “full” feeling in my head, ready to burst from my forehead. Makes me want to squint. If I am in that state, my body tends to feel like crap as well. I will be anxious and might feel my chest buzzing. Maybe some typical light hyperventilation nonsense...

I can relate to it being about frustration. I frequent the Internet and news sites from multiple sources. I had to get all angles of everything going on because of so much bias and animosity from one side or another. There is plenty to be thoroughly absorbed in going on in the world right now...
