- I had a good night's sleep last night, y'all, so thanks for your support in helping me get through this bout of PTSD insomnia after all.
- Last night I didn't get to sleep until 3:30 a.m. in spite of taking 2 Prazosin as nightmare prevention and 4 melatonin as sleep aids. Lack of sleep brings on a vulnerabiliy to flashbacks for me. Despite a week of CKD pains from kidney damage...
- Today I had to get to the mall here in my city in Mexico so I could get cash from the atm machine so as to pay some bills next week. My Social Security checks for Feb. and Mar. were withheld by the government as were all such checks for all of us...
- Had to go for groceries so walked 1.8km at Mall but very, very painfully. :-( Tears in my eyes, literally.
- I'm the poster child for how letting a bad psychiatrist overdo Seroquel for your PTSD nightmares isn't a good idea.Wow, is my neuropathy pain harsh today from head to toe from that Chronic Kidney Pain he added for me on top of my PTSD. OUCH!
- I'm batting a thousand today Not only does it seem as if my Social Security checks may finally come, I've also had less CKD pain for 2 days in a row from when that bad psychiatrist wrecked my kidneys with a Seroquel overdose for PTSD nightmares. ...
- I saw today on my bank's site notice that I have two auto deposits pending tomorrow--my missing Social Security pension checks for February and March. It looks as if my following your suggestion here to do as the video link she sent me said paid...
- For those who may not know, I have Chronic Kidney Disease on top of the chronic PTSD we all share here now. A psychiatrist overdid it with Seroquel with me and ruined the nerves in my extremities since my kidneys no longer supply sufficient oxygen...
- Hey, y'all. As most of you know, I'm here because I was a childhood civilian veteran of 6 years of combat as a missionary kid overseas. One of the traumas in those 6 years was when I was age 9 and a guy hit my family's car with an improvised...
- For the first time since 2002 in retirement I adopted a pet--this time a lovely little white poodle who's very loving and smart. I got her from a neighbor here in Mexico who lives 3 blocks away. My poodle's brother missed her and sometimes...
- Half of my monthly income consists of my Social Security check. The other half is my state pension from teaching community college and my private teacher's retirement. I planned well for retirement and live paycheck to paycheck as planned. Living in...
- The stress of the Social Security check triggered my PTSD last night such that I lay in bed awake for 3 hours. At first I took 2 melatonin, then after an hour 1 more, then another after an hour, and another for a total of 5. Fortunately at least...
- I was invited by a congregation to speak about our Daily Strength PTSD support group here today--anonymously, of course, all but for myself. I mean, they wanted to know the details of how peer support works, what Daily Strength was, everything. ...
- I took the wrong bus back from the grocery store and ended up having to walk it home a good distance away from my usual bus stop back, so I wound up walking 2.7km instead of my usual 1. It hurt. I hope not to be doing that again any time soon. ...
- Last week I was having 5 flashbacks a day from my PTSD surviving combat as a missionary kid raised in a war zone overseas. My work with my therapist really helped me get my attention back to the present 5 times a day and keep moving forward.For...
