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.

Congratulations Doobie... bloody well done. You have your head screwed on with this obviously from your comments, being hard yakka and so forth, because it is initially... but geez... really, well done for giving yourself a chance to heal a little better, without the dopamine of medications slowing you down.

Well done... and keep up the great work. Heaps of support here for you, whenever you want it.

Well done! Impressive. Benzodiazepines are the worst to get rid of and the easiest to get your hands on.

Strong work. Forty days must feel like an eternity and you did it. And today may work out OK as well! I'm not an AA person, but am totally open to whatever works. Sounds as though you are on the right track for you. Kudos!
