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.

I get especially "jumpy" when the beg. of a PTSD flashback is about to hit, or if I'm confronted with any situation that may make me think about it. In fact, if I'm at the therapist's office, I can't sit and tend to move toward the door. I was told this is a "flight or fight" response...and I guess that since I'm only 4'11'', my body has chosen "flight."

I have found certain things useful, though, especially if I'm in a situation where I wish to have the semblance of being normal. Sometimes hoding something works...it could just be a pen, if that's all I have. Chewing gum also has helped. Pretty much anything that allows me to fidget without seeming "odd" tends to work.
