- I have been a little hit-or-miss on staying up-to-date on the board. Sometimes by the time I get back here there are so many messages and replies I don't physically have the time to sort through them all. That said, I was just wondering if anyone...
- Hey everybody,I've considered looking for a new therapist (to "re up" my grounding skills and pick up new techniques). In the past I have used CBT with great success; I would prefer to treat the illness (through therapy) than the symptoms (with...
- Hey everybody,I'm freaking out in my head over here and I know I have no reason to be but that isn't stopping me (HA! Isn't that the story of my life, lol).I almost died at the end of last year after I was given a common anesthetic for a routine...
- Hey everybody,I'm new here and this is my first post on this board. One of the people on the PTSD board recommended I reach out here after a post I made there. I'm going to copy what I wrote there:I was just wondering how many of you have...
- I was just wondering how many of you have experience watching others self-destruct?I have a person in my family who I keep in contact with because they are family. I am confident if they weren't family I would have nothing to do with them and I am...
- Hey everybody,I have two unrelated questions and thought I would throw them both in the same post (I hope that's okay!):1. How many of you have physical medical issues in addition to your PTSD? Do you find that stress exacerbates your symptoms for...
- I have had a really long day and could use encouragement.Would anyone mind sharing their favorite positive quotes and affirmations with me?
- I was just wondering if anyone here has PTSD as a result of being in a compound (think: Waco)?
- I am really struggling right now. I feel like no matter what I do I keep getting pooped on by the universe. While I know this feeling will pass, it has stuck with me all day.I had surgery in November and while it was supposed to be routine I...
- Hey guys, I've got a question for you all, and it's a serious one. How do you deal with anxiety???I have PTSD and you would think that in my 28 years I'd have dealt with anxiety before today but I haven't. I've dealt with all manners of emotions,...
- I am meeting with a surgeon in just over two weeks to discuss my need for brain surgery (for something unrelated to PTSD). I don't have medical PTSD but having been through a recent minor surgery that nearly (literally) killed me, I find myself...
- This may contain TW's on family abuse, generational abuse, sociopathic tendencies and suicide/rape.One of my parents has multiple personalities. This is something I have known since I was a little girl but is something my family does not openly...
- Hey everybody, this post may contain anger-related TW's.I know this is going to sound weirdly cross-postish (because DS has an anger management support group) but I was just wondering for those of you who have PTSD and difficulty controlling anger,...
- Hey guys (and gals!), I just need to vent for a second. Someone I know made a fairly terrible post on Facebook about strangers they assumed were Muslim and I tried to politely explain that given Islamic religious practices that under the...
- Hey everybody,I had a tonsillectomy last week and as am sure you know (if any of you have had a tonsillectomy as an adult) it's horrifically painful and sleeping is next to impossible.I had been taking Percocet (which I was supposed to take one...
