| | 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. |  | |

| | I agree, you haven't done anything wrong. You're allowed to be frustrated and upset about things. Personally, I do a lot of venting, although most of it is in my trauma diary. In any event, it's totally understandable. You can feel comfortable expressing yourself. People really do understand and care. |

| | Sherry, its part of the process so please don't beat yourself up too much about it. Sure, if you did it without acknowledging the act, that would be one thing, but here you are, you make a mistake, you acknowledge it, you apologise if required, you continue. You have no idea how many people here do it, me included.... its more about the process and that we know and can admit when and if we are wrong. PTSD can make a person very vunerable and insecure, to say the least. Rebuilding that is part of the process, and we must all start somewhere and relearn. Your doing just fine.... keep working at yourself and it all comes together. |

| | well i got the right mri i went to the hospital this morning and got the right MRI. the poor women who gave me the wrong one was very sorry she made a mistake.
I guess i shouldnt have jumped to any conclusions.
But i compared my mri with the ones of some others that do and donot have ms and with the old ones and i am going to let them put me on some meds for the ms. Mabie with that i can start to get back in shape and try to move up to trying to make somekind of contrabution to this world a positive one.
now i have another concern a friend of mines daughter came to me upset not knowing who else to talk to, i dont know how to tell my friend what the girls are telling me about the things that go on when she is asleep or passed out from one to many drinks. I dont want to add to my friends problems so i havent told her. im glad the girls feel like they can talk to me but all i could do was say that if that is going on than they should tell a trusted teacher or school therapist. it really upsets me becouse i didnt think that kind of thing would ever go on in that family. they are trying to find out the truth but my friend dosent work and cant support her kids on her own. I let them stay with me over the weekend but after the girls told me my friend dosnt want them to stay with me anymore. the only thing i can do is pray for them and ask everyone i can to pray for them. i dont think the girls would just say stuff like that for attention i dont want to hurt anyone. and i know they are all hurting right now.:drugs: for my M.S.:crazy-eye |

| | yes i know and i have the girls with me for now the girls mother let them come stay with me for a little while, we talked somemore and the thing that were going on are not appropriate. The girls are being told that they dont have to go back and are not allowed to be around him at all. after what they told me and what i went through im thinking my friend needs to make a choice. the girls are so young 15 and 16,
they know right from wrong. I know they feel safe with me and at my house but this is just temperary.. i wish i could save everyone. but i know i cant.
but if i can just help one person from having to go down this road i guess that will be worth it. |

| | If you are implying sexual abuse the police should simply be called, friend or not getting upset. |
