| | 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. |  |

| |  Today Was Ok, I Guess - Lost For Words
Not much happened today. I had the day off, I fed my roomates' cats, I cleaned the house, I went to Mcdonald's. I coudn't get my friend on the phone. That made me feel sad and lonely for a long time. That just stinks. I keep getting egocentric when I go out to restaurants or out in public. Does that usually happen with PTSD? People had been violent in the past. Night and being alone can bug me- I keep feeling that someone might creep up and start hitting me. Well that really made me feel sad. I guess that's one positive thing about Post Traumatic stress disorder, my fear won't let me have boring days. [sacrasm]. I guess I'll take it "one day at a time" as the sign on my ziggy doll says.
I hope all of you are doing Fine,
Rob S. |

Welcome to the forum Rob. You sound pretty normal to me... for PTSD I mean. I have trouble with going out in public. I worry about people carrying weapons. I used to visually check people for weapons all the time. And I'm afraid to be by myself at night.
I think you have a really good attitude, taking it one day at a time. Thinking about the rest of your life all at once, and how to solve all your problems, can be pretty overwhelming, for me anyways. Again, welcome to the forum, glad you joined. :) |

Thanks, batgirl. :)
It really makes me feel better that people share the same type of experiences and feelings [of PTSD] that I experience. I really appreciate your replying to my post, It really encourages me. It makes me feel good that other people can relate to my PTSD experience and believe that I am doing ok. Thank You, I really appreciate It.
Have a Good Day, Rob | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
