| | 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. |  | |

Sorry you guys are so sick! I've been wondering what happened to him.... Anyway, we are doing okay...so get yourself better!
Veiled...the fire ants thing has me creeped out a bit. Thank god we don't have fire ants up here....well, I don't think we do. We have an ant problem right here in our house, luckily, they don't bite.
doing really well here. Amazing what a great session in therapy will get you! It's also nice to hear from a professional that I'm doing well. I hope I can keep it up. |

Get well soon those of you with flu! Feeling very tired at the moment. We've been having a heatwave here for the past 3 weeks, and it's really humid and hot at night (compared to usual!). Combine that with nightmares and you have a recipe for hot, sweaty nights of the very unpleasant variety!!!! Roll on winter! |

Avoidence, avoidence, avoidence... one step forward... two steps back. :(
Called my Family Doc today... cancelled my appointment.
I was supposed to see him prior to my appointment with the surgeon.
But I just didn't think I could deal with discussing it today.
Both my Boyfriend and brother are working nightshift... so I'm left alone for the night.
I just want happy thoughts today,
so I rescheduled the appointment family doc for 1 hour before my surgeon appointment.
I'll deal with it all in one day.
No need to upset me right now, right? |

Get it all done at once like ripping off a band-aid sounds good to me. No sense in over stressing yourself, sounds like you have enough to deal with as it is. I think it is a good choice, best wishes and hugs! |

What works works YA, and each must vary according to their own needs. As long as you get it done in the end, how you do it is best suited to you, and obviously a good commonsense approach you have taken that is best for you. Well done.
Veiled,
Here is a list of some of the issues in withdrawing from Xanax, let alone going into Zoloft also: Quote: Neurologic: Insomnia, light-headedness, abnormal involuntary movement, headache, muscular twitching, impaired coordination, muscle tone disorders, weakness.
Psychiatric: Anxiety, fatigue and tiredness, irritability, cognitive disorder, memory impairment, depression, confusional state.
Gastrointestinal: Nausea/vomiting, diarrhea, decreased salivation.
Metabolic-Nutritional: Weight loss, decreased appetite.
Dermatological: Sweating.
Cardiovascular: Tachycardia.
Special Senses: Blurred vision.
| One of the side effects of the anti-depressant Zoloft, is depression! Go figure ha! Many anti-depressants can actually cause more severe depression, or agrivate depression, hence why it is usually better from what I have seen and learnt myself, to get rid of anything that is anti-depressant ASAP and manage the depression side of problems through healthy eating and daily exercise. Take pills for the anxiety and other issues if needed until you learn how to cope with them all without medications, or seek a naturopath for something more natural to treat depression, that doesn't cause depression as a side effect.  |

Thanks. It's amazing what a nice walk can do to ground you. Still tired, but my brain is working a little better now. One step at a time -quite literally! |

Hey Piglet... Mr. Bear says "Thank You!!!!"
I'm taking him out for a stroll right now.
Toss the frisbee or tennis ball for abit.
lol, he's convinced he's a frisbee dog,
but he's a big pitbull... not exactly built for jumping.
We'll just not tell him the difference :)
Anyways... he wanted to thank you for motivating me to take him out | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
