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.

Yer, Kerrie-Ann would totally agree with that sentiment... "never be without a dog"!

Its great the kids are safe. So how are you feeling today? Are the affects getting better from your visit yet, or still the same?

I'm feeling worse today. I just can't sleep, no matter how many times I try the relaxation stuff. All the walking is tiring me out too! Off to the GP this morning so that he can see that I'm still alive.

Pull out everything you can... think about what it is that is making you ill, what emotions are causing the anxiety, etc etc, and try and kick it back inline real quick.

You hang in there... your doing really well, considering what you just put yourself through again.

Piglet,

Anthony is right, I agree 'never be without a dog'. People underestimate the beautiful creatures that they are AND they love you and love you some more. I am sorry you are having such a hard time of it. I can't offer much help on the PTSD front but I consider that you are one tough cookie to put yourself back in the environment. Hopefully, as you get stronger, the impact that your brother can have will be so much less. See what happens then, when the power shifts. I am not so certain that he will be the cocky, bully that you have described then..........I think you will find the opposite. Hang in there, I hope you feel better soon.

Thanks for your support guys - it means a lot. Saw the GP. He's written me another sick note for 2 weeks, but put on it that I can work part-time. He thinks it's a good idea to go see the private doc if I can afford it.

Saw one of my work colleagues today. Apparently my lessons for Monday are already covered, so maybe the start back won't be as bad as I fear. You can probably tell, I'm feeling a little more positive right now. Must be the lettuce I ate at lunchtime (or the chocolate I ate just after.....).
