| | 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 am feeling apprehensive, distressed, and somewhat guilty. And like Hope said, irritated with myself. I feel a sense of dread, too, because I don't want to go to sleep. |

| | I am feeling tearful because I can't figure out what I am feeling - but it is an uncomfortable feeling - anxiety and shame and guilt for making someone feel bad this morning when all I was trying to do was figure out if I was feeling my own tension or somebody else's. Frustrated at not knowing what this feeling is and trying to double guess myself and others to figure it out. Disappointed that i am not doing better today - I so badly need to do better today. Disappointed at realising that one day of better, doesn't mean better forever. Angry that I thought it might. |

| | OK, don't hate me, but I'm having a good day today ;P I feel positive, good, peaceful and generous. I think it is mostly this group that has done this for me. If I haven't said it yet today, thank you Anthony for creating this oh-so-useful beast, and thank you to you all for your truth.
Shiraz, I know that feeling so well of, "I had a good day, everything's going to be so much better from now on", only to wake up in the toilet the very next day. I track my good days on the calendar. Over the past 3 months, I can see improvement, more good days, less tragic ones. It's slow, but it's happening for you too. |

| | A-Z I'm running the gambit today, this week, this month...depending on what I'm thinking about at any given time. Each thought has it's own life.
I had an organized fit the other night...just angry. Had to get it out of my system so I could put it behind me. This resulted in me busting open a pillow by beating it on the bed for over an hour. Then, angry that the pillow gave out on me, grabbed a bath towel and continued until I had it all out of my system.
My suffer hubby wasn't quite sure what to make of it because it was so totally out of character for me, that he just retreated to Warcraft (the bane of 75% of my anger) and left me alone, once he'd determined that I wasn't doing damage to myself or the bedroom.
Needless to say....I feel much better now!!
Hugs all around,
