- Yesterday some great-grand-aunt or something of mine died (not surprising, that woman was in her 90s). So my grandmother called to tell me and my mother, and since I can't talk to her more than five minutes without getting into an argument it didn't...
- As most of you probably alread know, I like to keep my distance (emotionally). I was often in the position of having to take on responsibilities no child should and having to be the grown up, so I couldn't afford to be sick or hurting. I never had...
- My little sister recently came back from a visit to our father with her mother, which went bad (I bloody told them this would happen!). And now my father is throwing twice the dose of his usual bullshit at me.All along I thought that he didn't have...
- I am a survivor of multiple traumas. In fact, the amount of bad luck I've had in my life is rediculous, it's almost funny. Except it's really not.About some of them I feel guilty, although that's completely unreasonable. Those things were out of my...
- Maybe you've heard of this. Someone I knew (who also suffered from PTSD) once told me about this and I think I should share it with you guys.Kintsukuroi is a traditional japanese method of mending broken pottery with gold, making it more beautiful...
- I am very good at suppressing my emotions, to the point that I can't even identify some of them anymore. Whenever I get emotional or am in a situation where I should be, this part of me just shuts down. It's like a reflex, I can't really control...
- I've written yesterday about feeling completely exhausted, mainly because I'm worrying about a lot of people.Well, seems like life just can't give me a bloody break!I just heard that my favorite teacher suffered a heart attack today. He's in IC at...
- I've been quite busy lately and I missed you guys!Had a lot of exams and other school stuff going on, so I'm basically just running around, trying to help people who ask me about anything while squeezing in some learning to keep my grades as good as...
- For the last few months I've occasionally been having a new symptom (I think). I get this maybe once or twice a week.It's like my body having a panic attack without me actually having one. Like my mind and my body having different oppinions about...
- I know, I'm kind of the baby of this group (btw is anyone younger here?) so I don't know if you feel like this as well.I, or at least a part of me, often feel like I'm not going to accomplish anything worthwhile in my life, like I won't get very...
- I get migraines with aura and severe allodynia. I don't get them that often, only every few weeks.Also, the part that really sucks, for some unknown reason I'm completely resistant against any kind of painkiller, always have been. I've tried the...
- So, I'm probably overreacting a bit, but I read this aritcle and it got me thinking and since I'm sick I had all day to think so now I'm probably worrying more than I should...Anyway. That article I read was about the effects of PTSD on family...
- I reckon my PTSD really hates my immune system. Because of shit happening it has been acting up again the last couple of months and every time it does, I feel like I get sick every bloody time someone does so much as sneeze at me.Anyone else having...
- I just came home from that martial arts thing.It's a really small group, if everyone's there, there are 5 people (excluding myself and the trainer). Although it's actually for both men and women, I'm the only female, but that doesn't bother me (I've...
- 1. Just curious: How long do your flashbacks last? Mine can range from a few seconds up to several hours.2. After I have one I am hypervigilant and on edge for days. Do you experience the same? If you do, do you have any methods to make it go away...
