| | 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. |  | |

Last couple of days were interesting.
Record for me, three panic attacks yesterday, not sure what triggered them apart from being stuck at home with bro dearest.
Okay, that is enough explaining. I know what triggered them.Ummm, today had an appointment with my social worker, she thinks that I'm getting the information side of things. Next appointment in a month. |

my days have been brighter since going of my meds. I finally got the nerve to ask if it would be ok to take my nephew to a movie. We went and saw open season and i laughed for the first time in along time. It was a great day |

Well, let's see. The Hawks lost yesterday. I worked all night and I am still awake. I did get about an hour and a half. I feel special. Ok, really I am tired and cranky.
When I said I was going off to bed a friend said that I looked tired and probably would have no trouble falling asleep. I think I kind of snapped at her when I said "tired? of course I am tired. What the hell does that have to do with falling asleep?" |

It blows, I am tired... My 2 yo is turning into a pig or some other type of wild animal. Her new talent is burping on command (nice), and keeps running around naked putting her panties on her head giggling the whole way.
The kids were just going nuts during supper and I bellowed for it to stop, I was losing my cool. Everyone went silent and the two yo grabs a hand of peas and throws them at me... Needless to say everyone was silent for just that second, started laughing and cutting up again. Guess they were having fun but it took forever to get supper down them. |

Not too bad a day today. An improvement on recently as I felt vaguely in control of my life. Got a fair amount of sleep last night, but the nightmares were there too (about 5/6 out of 10 on the scary rating, so could be worse). Still, I was getting damned fed up of lying awake and listening to the guy snoring in the flat below me, so it made a change to sleep. |
