Not sure why I’m posting other than the fact that I feel the need. Maybe this will ring true with somebody. I feel like I’m out of phase with the real world right now. I haven’t felt like this for several years now. It all just came over me over the last 3-4 days. I’m going to try to put this...

“She Ain’t Goin’ Nowhere”, by Guy Clark, King of the Texas Troubadours

Further note: might not have been a sugars problem. I have to perform at a tribute show tonight. Two songs I played for 20 years. I don’t know if I can leave the house the anxiety is so extreme. I wish we had mental health care here still…

Thank you…🙏🏼

@Survivor3 i have many physical ailments after 40+ years of various work and a couple of congenital conditions. The chronic pain from those is tough as I have other conditions that limit what I can do for pain. After the steady, ever changing list of psychotropic meds I was on in the 2000’s I...

Glad you found your way.👍🏻

For me it varies. I find edibles less likely to cause problems and 90% of the time it puts a buffer between me and the circular thinking, etc. When it gets really bad, though, I find discontinuing for a week or so is best, until the worst is over. FWIW, I find meditation and deep breathing are...

I was misdiagnosed with bipolar II some 15 years ago and spent three years being prescribed Abilify, Seroquel and Lamictal (one psychiatrist discontinued Abilify and then convinced me, in my benzo overdosed state to try Aripiprazole as though it were something new). The balance problems...

Hi. Some time recently the fridge in my flat went on the blink (too cold) and my insulin was compromised. I was already my regular uptight from stage fright, but when my sugars went through the roof I straightened it out ASAP. Seems like the episode has plunged me into extreme anxiety and a deep...

A friend in Tallahassee (FL) sent me pictures of frozen iguanas…wow! Up here in Eastern Canada…ice under the snow everywhere.

Best of luck to you. Between my age and the political/economic climate where I live there are few options. Having exercised all and still not having the basic requirements met it’s hard for me to stay positive. I hope that isn’t the case for you.

Retired at 55, health reasons. Victim of spousal abuse, blah blah. 65 now and have no idea why I should keep on. My occupation put me in some bad places and I seen and lived through some things that have left me empty and tired. Even my grandchildren don’t bring me out of it Just can’t see...

Stargate SG-1…sort of partly distracting from the stuff in my mind most of times…tv is not too good, I think, when you got PTSD. Hard to live in th moment when you are concentrated on a pretend life…

I live on the other end of Canada. Have lived in three Atlantic provinces. There are no resources here whatsoever. The image of Canada as a fair, prosperous place to live has become an undeserved one. Sorry to hear your story, I am in much the same situation (PTSD, heart disease, diabetes and...

Tru dat

Hi. I’ve been treated for just about everything now, depression, anxiety, bipolar II, borderline personality disorder. I was finally diagnosed with cPTSD 2 years ago. Throughout the late 2000s I was in the “care” of Nova Scotia psychiatrists. As a result I spent 2½ years on an overdose level...

Is there anyone else here who is living on Canada Pension Plan Disability because of PTSD? I am… Trying to survive on the pittance they provide is totally demoralizing. We are about to get some relief (hah! believe it when I see it) but it’s been a year coming federally and years here in NL...
