    For People Who Are Thinking Of Going To A Psychiatric Hospital

    Deb, I appreciate the response. I never thought of researching the ones in my area. That's not a bad idea. That way I would know, just to ease my curiosity/fears. A plan is a cool idea, just so it becomes less of a phobia. Thanks :) I appreciate this post <Edited - removed unnecessary...

    For People Who Are Thinking Of Going To A Psychiatric Hospital

    I saw a documentary once about a psychiatric hospital, and if I was depressed, that probably depressed me even more. I guess my fear of psych wards is the medication part, that I feel like its just all about meds all the time. I worry about them just shoving meds down your throat and labelling...

    Thoughts-flashbacks-insanity.

    Thank you so much, for relating to me. Sometimes I have a hard time reaching out to my T, because 1) I feel like after being in this way of life since age 5, it seems so painful to try to feel good just for 50 minutes a week with someone who cant help me outside, when I'm really alone. It...

    Is It Possible That Ptsd Can Make A Person More Gullible?

    I wish I had advice. I am very gullible and apart from being gullible I am very obedient. I tend to act like a child, and if people ask me to do something I do it because im scared of getting in trouble.. Its really annoying, and puts me in positions of revictimization very very often...

    Intrusive Thoughts That Cause Physical Reactions

    Sometimes I get an intrusive thought. If its a short one (a short memory), or like an external sound that reminds me of something suddenly (and for about 2 seconds) my eyes will roll to the back of my head, and I might cringe a little, or twitch and then the memory goes away. (I must look like a...

    Thoughts-flashbacks-insanity.

    I don't even know. I've had flashback after flashback, and I'm so tired. I don't want to be in a good mood. I just want to be numb. I'm tired of pasting on a smiley face. In my house its like a sin to be in a bad mood. It means punishment for me. I feel like I'm in flashback, all the...

    Flashbacks Last All Day.

    Thank you for all your responses. I find it interesting that you say that only part of the brain believes it. I guess that's the difference of when I'm having a flashback at T. I "know" its not really happening, somewhere in my brain. I'm thinking of talking to my T about how hard it is in...

    Flashbacks Last All Day.

    My T said it sounded, from what I was describing in my symptoms to her, that I was having emotional flashbacks. These are all day. The triggers can be anything. How can I function :( It's so hard. I had a flashback in her office during T, and she brought me back and then said "see you next...

    haha omg. Sometimes I get that swallowing thing, I don't get anxiety with it much until I realize something stuck in my throat.. (happens a lot actually.) I've choked somewhat several times, its scary. I kinda get what you're saying..I often feel detached though, like I'm walking and my eyes...

    Think I Might Just Cry The Whole Hour

    I know :( how this feels...I usually repress it a lot, but it is really healthy to let it out. If you spend 15 minutes or a whole hour crying, its because you need to....and you need not apologize You will stop, at some point. The pain can feel overwhelming and unbearable..but your T can help...
