  I am sitting here, shaking with tremors, as I type. I am having a "bad day" with my emotions as I keep getting flashbacks in my head of the memories of my childhood and how they were surpressed for decades until a few years ago when I began to communicate with other CSA (childhood sexual abuse) and incest survivors on various support groups. The actual diagnosis was finally revealed in that I suffer from PTSD, something that I thought was only experienced by veterans or survivors of other...

  I am new to Daily Strength and had not discovered this group until just now. It is sad to see the need for so many of us to be here but since we are here, let's reactivate the page and get to know each other. I will write an introduction and submit it when I have a little more time. I hope that each of you will do the same. There is strength in numbers. Let's be each other's strength!!! - CSAJourney

  As a man, it is hard to "out" myself about my past experiences with going from boyhood curiousity to molestation, incest and various rape situtations that have haunted me for decades but only recently been flooding me with recently diagnosed mental illness conditions and symptoms. Only over the past few years have I been waking in the middle of the night from flashbacks, nightmares, sweats, chest pains and other symptoms on a frequent basis requiring medication (or at least trying) and therapy...

  I would like each of you to know that I understand the hell you are living in which bring you to be part of this support group. I completely sympathize with all of your fears, feelings and frustrations. I know that I have had PTSD for many decades based on childhood sexual abuse but chose not to focus on it and was able to live a relatively "normal" life for the past 50+ years until a few years ago when a horrible series of panic and anxiety attacks forced me off work and into therapy and onto...

  I feel like the only person on the planet who is basically afraid of everything. So many people can identify one or more specific phobias but in my case with a panic and anxiety disorder (and depression, OCD, SAD, GAD, agoraphobia, PTSD, and more) my panic and anxiety attacks pop up consistently and have clearly handicapped me from enjoying my life. Now I can look back over the past decades and see mild cases of panic attacks but not to the extent they are affecting my life now. The more I get...

  I was just approved for long term disability through my employer. I have many conditions (GAD/SAD/OCD/Anxiety/Depression) but the award was granted based on "Agoraphobia with Panic Attacks." That's true but I don't know that is the primary disability, but, I'll take it just to end the anxiety over waiting for approval. I have been approved for two years and hopefully SSDI can kick in to offer permanent disability or my therapy/medication plan can allow me to return to working for 8-10 years...

  I am a married 58 year old "bi" guy. Most of my experiences were with men; however, I have been married 14 years to a wonderful woman but I just don't feel a "click" romantically or physically any longer and I have found a few males that I enjoy (unreciprocated) sexual experiences with. The problem is that I can't climax when I am with another person and only when taking my problems "well in hand" (pardon the pun). I know that I don't have ED or anything but just a serious anxiety problem when...
