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.

Look through here and see if there are any services that will help. These are free counseling services around Texas. If you want to send me a private message and let me know a closer location you are at I will try to find something more local free if you cannot find something on this site later. I know you are in the same vicinity of Texas as I, but in Texas that is still a lot of ground... http://www.spr.org/en/resourceguides/rg_texas.asp

You are so close to graduating!!!!! Congrats! Ok, stick it out.....but come online, vent here, start your diarie, and write, write, write. If you could find a counselor face to face, that would be AWESOME. Don't let this insult you, but I know that some religious groups give free counseling. A friend of mine still travels two hours to see her "free" therapist who happens to be a priest. Taking these first steps can be incredibly hard. (Isn't it amazing how hard it is to get an appointment for mental health? The referral process, the waiting list, the insurance crap... No wonder people don't get the help they need when they need it.) You can take initiative to take the first steps.

A bit of a warning: if you talk about your trauma, your symptoms will get worse. Talking about it won't make you feel better until you've dealt with it fully which means getting worse before getting better. You've got a fine line to walk and I hope you make it to the end....

The only thing that comes to mind in regard to quick fixes for short term gain, would be medication, though finding that right mix could make things worse than better... That is a short term solution to allow you to hopefully concentrate enough and get throught the class to graduate. Well done on the soon to be graduation.
