Sufferer Hello - Hoping To Connect With Others That Understand

[Chris0825]

Hello. I just joined this site. I'm a gay male from Pennsylvania that suffers from PSTD, anxiety disorder, and bipolar disorder. I was just hoping to talk to others in my situation. I've been struggling a lot lately and have been having severe anger issues. I hope to chat soon!

Have a great day!

Hi! This site has helped me a lot. I have Bipolar I & PTSD as well.

 

[Chris0825]

Really? That's awesome. I see a therapist and I just started meds, but I feel like I need more.

Hi Chris... I have PTSD and extreme anxiety disorder. I am working with a trauma therapist doing CBT.

Welcome to the forum. There is lots of help and wonderful people here. It's been a lifesaver for me.

Hi Chris, welcome to the forum. This site has been a lifesaver for me, too. Finally hearing that you're not the only one; finally finding people who understand so you don't have to write an essay about PTSD to try and get them to see every five minutes. I hope you're getting good help. Working with a trauma therapist makes all the difference, but this forum for the time between sessions and the lovely people here keeps me sane. Hope it helps you, too.

@Chris0825 what medications are you on & for how long have you been taking them?

Hello, bipolar , ptsd . Possibly borderline as well. I usually have my bipolar meds adjusted if I'm too angry as it's my hallmark mixed episode symptom. Everyone's different of course. Just something to think about .

Hello, everyone! Thanks for the kind welcome!

I'm taking Klonopin, Ambien, and Latuda. I've only been on the Latuda for a little over 2 weeks. The Klonopin doesn't really work.

 

[Jezanna]

I hope you are careful with the klonopin. I had horrible withdrawal from it. But that's me. I foolishly stopped without tapering.

Never heard of Latuda. Is it an anti-depressant?
