- I heard a lot about B vitamins in early sobriety - people at a certain detox would get B vitamin injections in the bum. And people advocated taking them in sobriety. Has anyone else heard this?I'm mentioning it because I hit a small crisis a month...
- Hi, I was in PTSD from 1987. Things are a lot lot better now. I just wanted to say it got better for me, to encourage others. I have been trying to get nursing home work for the last 10 years. What used to happen was, I'd work part time only for...
- I am struggling with a long standing resentment. Being made to feel wrong and criminal for HAVING a resentment, just makes me feel worse. And worse. It's a natural feeling, and no one knows what the context is.Yes, I don't want to continue to...
- 20 years ago, in my early 30's, a lot of repressed memories came up. Suffice to say I was little, and it was family. I was in a shattered state in psych hospital for 3 months, while these memories surfaced. Since then, I've mostly lived in disbelief...
- HI, I don't know if I actually have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I've got something debilitating, though. I'm planning to go back to the doctors again, to see if they can find what's wrong.To start at the top, I just did (over 3 days) three 6 hour...
- HI, I am in AA and have been sober 7 years. I was also sober from 1987 to about 2002. Anyway, I went to a severely traumatic drug and alcohol rehab in '86. It completely f....ed my mind, I came out of there and had a mental breakdown. I'd been...
- HI, I'm not sure if I fit in here. I don't think I'm DID, but I do think I have something along those lines. It is a dissociative disorder. I have a 'me' who is so horrified by prostitution, she wants to kill me to stop me acting out on it. I have a...
- HI, I am 54, and have had a lot of therapy since a young woman. I've been stable in recent years, and thought I was over the shame. This week, I started work as an assistant nurse, in a nursing home. They really like me there, I was employed there...
- Hi, I was lying down this evening, feeling peaceful. so I thought on higher power and handing over or connecting.I became aware of my adult life - I'm 54 now- and how I've made some really bad decisions. Including drinking again, but including other...
- Hi, I'm a real cat fan, I have 3 at home. The lady next door has a cat, 7 months old. She went out Friday morning, and now it's late Saturday night. I don't know when she's coming home. I've heard the cat meowing. I've tried breaking in, I've rung...
- Hi. I want to say my experiences in AA. I really liked AA before I went to a certain drug and alcohol rehab, after a relapse. At this rehab, which had NOTHING to do with AA or the 12 steps, it was all about yelling and screaming abuse at each other....
- To start with, I get very upset when I hear on the news about paedophiles. I feel such anger and anguish, when they get light sentences. I also feel very alone at these times.So, ...good news! Here in Australia, there's a major investigation going...
- I was sexually abused, don't know how many times, as a young child. anyway, I went on my first date at the age of 14, and was so frightened. He held my hand on the way back to the car, and I felt such revulsion. It was fear. the next time he visited...
- I wanted to ask if anyone else is like me. I have had PTSD, and am no longer in a state of trauma. However, my disability these days is the amount of sleep and 'down time' i need. I'm on psych drugs, but I don't think this is the reason.I sleep till...
- I'm just wondering. Does anyone else feel that, within themselves, they lack depth. I've had this problem ever since my mental breakdown (PTSD). I seem to be able to relate to others adequately, including getting good work done in therapy. but, I...
