- A bit of my history first. First time I showed signs of PTSD was while working in a call center back in 2002. I had a "customer" that was yelling and sounded like my mom - big trigger, flashback and all. I did not know at the time what was...
- I haven't been on in a while. But right now I am at a low beyond low. My husband of 16 yrs assaulted me last month. Not the first but definitely the last time. This triggered the F out of my PTSD - nightmares so bad my psych dr doubled my...
- I asked for a referal back to a program I have been in before. What I like about it is the opprotunity for group therapy. Group therapy seems to help me most when I start spiraling. Thing that P's me off is the physician assistant there always...
- I'm trying to get away from using Botox because of the expense and away from meds because I am now taking more for my asthma. I've had success with TENS units for muscle aches and stiffness in the past. In fact I really like my TENS unit. So I...
- It's almost 2 years to the day I lost my previous job. And now I've lost another job. I was hired back in July and now they said after 6 months, it's not working out. Wait? 6 months? I was only there for 4.5 months. Their math has been...
- For 5 years now I have been suffering from a severe allergy in the Spring. It is to the point that I have developed asthma. Background: I had allergies as a child and successfully went through desensitization. In the mid 1990's I developed an...
- It's that time of year again. The holidays always brings on the stress to the max. I get panic attacks and have to deal with too many questions. I am not a Christian. In fact, I am an eclectic Wiccan. For me, it's Yule. But for Yule we don't...
- I found this online and think it is a nice little guide to remind us to take care of ourselves. Good for when you are feeling like it's not worth the effort. http://philome.la/jace_harr/you-feel-like-shit-an-interactive-self-care-guide/play
- I am at wit's end. I have been fighting insomnia for several days, weeks. I have forgot when I had my last good night's sleep. Between the nightmares and arthritis, I am not sleeping. Even when I feel dead tired, I can't fall to sleep. My mind...
- With all the things I lost in life; my dad at 3 mos. old, my childhood, my sister, my mom (my choice- she is toxic), other people I loved, pets, my feeling of self-worth, my sense of security, am I becoming numb to loss? I just lost my job...
- I seem to mostly get migraines in the morning. I have been woke up by them as early as 3AM. They are getting worse as I get older (43 now). I am now going through months at a time were I wake up with a migraine every morning, then they stop for...
- I am usually very careful about meds. I do my husband's pill boxes and mine. Well yesterday I really messed up. Fortunately is was my meds not hubby's. I picked up the pop-out box for Sunday and just opened the end compartment and took the...
- I was doing good. Psyc. Dr. has my meds to the point the nightmares are suppressed and I started to take 5 mg of melatonin before bed. Was getting to sleep by 10:30 PM and sleeping until 6 or 7 unless I got a migraine at night. Well neurologist...
- I have been having migraines for a few weeks now and asked my psyc. dr. for a referral to a new neurologist. I didn't look at the referral until the day before I was going to drop it off. On there she has along with PTSD and depression, Sx of...
- Hi, I'm new here but have been dealing with migraines for a few years. Recently I have been having 3-5 migraines a week and finally went to the neurologist. Previously I was able to take vivactil for prevention and axert as a stopper med but now I...
