| | 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. |  | |

irritated because I can't sleep yet again.
tired self explanatory
disgusted that every time I get woke up I can't go back to sleep.
Upset that I jumped and yelled when my daughter touched me while sleeping
hopeful that my son is going to start speaking to me after the silent treatment for 6 weeks.
grateful that I drove 8 hours without no major panic attacks and it was pouring down rain. |

What a great thread, you'all have made this. Not that I wish such painful feelings on anyone of us, as certainly I do not. In fact, I found them somewhat difficult to read, what with the reality of some of these feelings. Yet, I will say regardless of trauma it does allow many to identify and know that we're very much alike at times, in this way (emotions) and the most obvious PTSD.
Thank you all for getting this thread started. Also, Seeking Nirvana and Nie thank you as well for adding your felt positive emotions as well. I almost did later too, but they didn't last long enough for me to do so. I had been feeling some competency the other day after much house cleaning and some other accomplishment.
Tonight I feel, stuck, trapped, obligated, powerless and unable to communicate. At least when I can't talk or write about what's bothering me, bc I've tryed already lately and simply cannot, I can mostly simply say how I'm feeling. |

I feel confused on some things today, but confident in the areas I am not lost on. I guess my mind is feeling absolute which is good. I am a bit drained too. My mind is pooped but resolve is strong. |

I feel calm, almost peaceful- which I have come to appreciate these moments.
I feel grateful and connected to a friend I lost touch with.
I feel less fearful about exploring my feelings about experiences at work. |

I feel scared- my car was making a odd noise driving home from work this morning. I have to work again tonight. I feel tearful and I don't know why. I feel weak for still feeling like this. |

I feel very cold and frightened.
Probably because I had an enlightening meeting with my doctor, today, which has left me feeling as though my future is doomed.
