Clarity Community Group
This group originally had been formed to lend support and to have open discussion on the topic of dissociation. We have since opened up to all aspects of PTSD, BPD, DID, BIP, Depression, etc. Basically our group is a safe supportive (non judgemental) place for open discussion on any somewhat related topic. We do not discriminate. We consider ourselves to be...
It felt great to have less migraines, then they came back and don't seem to want to leave. I am highly motivated to avoid triggers. So starting again to examine what I am doing that could be contributing to migraines again.
I am happy to say I am having no more suicidal thoughts since I stopped taking Phentermine for weight loss.
Apparently going on and off that drug triggers deep depression and suicidal thoughts. I am sharing, just in case anyone else tries this drug. It feels great when you are taking it, but for me, it had horrible withdrawal symptoms.
I did lose weight but would binge eat after stopping to try to survive withdrawal. Thank you to everyone who helped me through those suicidal periods.
I am finding that I sometimes get ptsd triggered, and whole days go by and I don't have any idea what I did that day. Sometimes weeks. I feel content to stay home because it feels safe.

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Let me ask you this about your migraines...could they be related to the neck injury you suffered from those back to back car wrecks? I ask because I found out my migraines were related to my neck injury, not totally due to the head injury. Over the past two months I have under gone a procedure called a Rhizotomy. Here a neurosurgeon took fine needles and cauterized secondary nerves in my neck. These were the nerves sending pain signals from my damaged neck to my brain, hence the 24/7 migraines. I am still in the healing process but I can say iam feeling much better! You and I went through such a similar situation I can't help but wonder if this procedure might help you to
Hugs for Kathy!
I'm a woman of few words these days, but wanted to send you hugs and let you know how glad I am that you got off of that drug. I take a lot of medications, and do believe in them, but they have to be used carefully and reflectively. You are very wise and brave to make the changes you made. Lots of love.
