Notices

Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now.

Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year.

Retraumatization - how do you come back?

Posted 24-03-2008 at 08:11 AM by Cindy
This year at work I shared a classroom with someone who triggered me everyday, m-f 7:30 - 4 until Jan. 30 when he was officially dismissed from employment. There were atleast three times I thought, Oh - here comes the hospital again. I took 8 days off in Dec.

OK, survived it again. Now how do I get back from the edge again? I want to rewind to August. I just feel all blown apart again and can't get my feet under me for any length of time, not even a whole day.

Anyone...

Enlighten me!

For my first blog I decided to write my first and only published poem. I think it must've been influenced by my PTSD. What do you guys think?

Where is my Buddha?
Where is my light?
Where are my angels
that come in the night?
Where is my saviour?
Where is my hope?
Where is my invite
to drink with the Pope?
Where is my sunlight?
Where is my day?
Why does my God
seem so far away?
Where are the answers?
Where...

Critics of the Mental Health Industry

Below are a number of speeches given by professionals who are harsh critics of different aspects of the mental health industry. While they tend to be some of the more radical critics, they challenge their listeners to think critically about their world. I found the last two to be quite funny.

It is my hope these videos will help people think critically about the nature of their diagnosis and what it means for them. It is not my intention to try to discredit anyone's diagnosis or...

Warning: This contains my opinions on this matter. If you are not comfortable with political discussion or cannot do it in a respectful manner, perhaps reading the rest of this post is not a good idea. Having said that, I welcome comments and other points of view.

So...As the election of the US President affects the whole world I thought I'd post some musings here...

Let me start with John McCain...As far as Republicans go, I respect him more than probably any other...

Cool Joke!

Posted 02-03-2008 at 09:17 AM by Lisa
A linguistics professor was lecturing his English class one day. "In English," he said, "a double negative forms a positive. In some languages, though, such as Russian, a double negative is still a negative. However, there is no language wherein a double positive can form a negative."

A voice from the back of the room piped up, "Yeah, right.”
