| | 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. |  | |

| | Cass, yep... then I think your in the right place for now. If your anxiety is less where you are, then that is the place for you to be right now. You first cass... get yourself better some, then worry about moving and taking on life again. |

| | It was a beautiful, warm day so my hubby, my youngest and myself went to the park and walked on the boardwalk by the river. Tons of birds and squirrels out today. It was just nice to walk with my honey and my baby.  |

| | Good stuff Cathy... push yourself beyond your comfort levels is what you need. It will help you to improve your self esteem and confidence within to achieve and participate in life again, with the knowledge that not everyone is a bad person.
We all just went to the coffee shop, had some food, coffee and chat, then to the shops for some more food for the cupboard, and here I am.... Oh, put bub down to sleep before getting online. |

| | eh, today was kinda sucky. Got to the doc, found out I'm anaemic (well that's one explanation for the lack of energy)
Also had to deal with mums shit. She has been on my back about getting a job. I'm scared shitless of talking to people let alone having to work and deal with panic attacks.
Doesn't help I'm so self concious about the scars on my arm. I just feel like going :up-yours: and telling her to leave me the f alone.
I'm getting so close to exploding, my anger is seething. I need an outlet before I say or do something I'm going to regret.
ARRRrrrrrrrrghs
I forgot to get another script while I was out for my :pills: Grrrrrs. Not that doc wants to give me any more downers, but they at least calm me a little, enough to sleep on a bad night. |

| | Really p'd off because I forgot about the chat last night. Had a visit from parents and got a little side-tracked. Hope everyone is okay and I will alarm everything so I don't miss the next chat session.

| | it was an ok day, but i had a lady come to me after church, wanting to talk about her problems with her husband.(he abuses her, emotionally) i listened for an hour, gave her a hug and a card for a counselor (hopefully the both of them) and sent her off, she felt better, i'm glad, but i was shaking so hard i could barely walk. i think it was because the things she told me sounded so much like my daddy. i finally calmed down this evening, just hope i didn't say anything to make things worse for her.

| | Today was bad ptsd wise.
Had bad panic attack as I woke up, was triggered by bro dearest opening my door. I took hours to calm enough to leave the house.
Then realised that my BIL has my house keys so was locked out till this avo late. Been paranoid all day, spent most of it convinced that I was being followed. So i really wasn't, i was just on edge.
Top it all off, I'm fighting so hard not to cut. Seems the higher my anxiety level, the more intense my need to cut.
