Sufferer Hello Everyone

[Pixielicious]

possibly a little out of context? I meant 'live with it' as in a sufferer as a more reliable source than...

Hey, it's ok. No need to apologise but thank you anyway.....I know what you meant lol
I just gave you a nano atom version of what it's like to be invaded with a disorder like PTSD.
I'd rather have cancer, anything but this.
I have two choices... End My life, or learn how to lessen my symptoms.
I have chosen the latter.
There is no cure for PTSD, not even proper medication.
I think we PTSD sufferers are kinda like the outcasts of the mental health society.
Most of us are mentally stable, we don't have a mental illness at all.
It's kinda like, we had mental breakdown, shutdown, and the shock of whatever happened to us created PTSD. Perhaps it's some kind of an automatic self defence mechanism to protect our sanity, or as in my case, the reality of what was happening to me personally was just too much to bare.
You ever seen the horror film IT?
At the end of the film they fight pennywise the clown who'd turned into a gigantic spider. The most dangerous thing it had as a weapon were its eyes. The Deadlights. IT sucked your sanity, that's why it was so dangerous.
I liken that to what I have seen.

Fin.

I read a few weeks ago that there is no cure for PTSD and it annoyed me because it was a pharmaceutical company pushing some drug. I hold little in medication as a cure and see them more as a temporary relief rather than a problem solved. However, should research discover that PTSD is neurological rather than psychological then I am open to persuasion on this matter.
I do hope that it is only a matter of time though!
horror films are not my thing. I prefer mostly comedies, p

I found IT to be extremely funny tbh lol
The book was a hundred times better imo (Steven King)
Yes... I was horrified and shocked when I was told there is no cure.
It felt, still feels like a death sentence to me.

I like comedies like naked gun etc parodies love em.
Billy connelly is quite funny... That is when I can understand him, ...och,Aye lass! :joyful:

"there is no cure" sounds like an exploitative sales pitch to me and I despise things like that. There may be no KNOWN cure but this is still comparatively early days and a defeatist attitude is not helping anyone. I very much doubt that a single cure for everyone is likely but no cure for anyone seems equally unlikely. Dont give up hope ;)

Red Dwarf did that one too. I am a fan of observational humour

I never give up... Especially Hope. Me and Hope have an amazing relationship.....I Wouldn't be alive if I ever gave up Hope.
There is always Hope. Always.
And I so agree with you about the pharmaceutical companies... In fact I could go on and on about it, but this isn't the right place for it. :inlove:

I like to be in control of my actions so I do not drink alcohol and I am very anti-illegal substances. I will admit to taking a few lemsips this week though but it was necessary to concentrate in college. I am there to learn :)

Yup that too, observational humour, but only if it makes me laugh hahahaha that's an oxymoron lol
Sarcastic/silly/slapstick/parody/spoofs.
Red dwarf was quite good from the little that I remember of it...

I hardly ever drink, nor do I need it in my home. Not a druggie either. I hate the feeling of being controlled by anyone or anything.
I don't have much sanity left, so I have to be careful that I don't destroy what little brain cells I have left lol I want to remain intelligent :)
