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.

CJ, ever consider going vegetarian? It might take care of that food poisoning thing.

Yeah, it might. I have a very hard time digesting greases anymore. So I'm careful what I eat. Even then, to taste, is rare. I can get a hint, but that's about it. Unless I'm in a position where my back quits pinching the spine, and next thing I know my world just opened up, literally. It's like being in a dark room with a cyalume light. When you open the garage door, you see a rainbow, blue skies, birds tweeting, smiling children. So close to that. When my ability to taste comes up, I love it. It's just not often.

Hey Empowered,

Oh my goodness. My beloved voice teacher passed away a long time ago. I believe she mentioned the Tomatis Method to me. I would love to know more about it! Thank you, CS

Like Anthony, I've had some loss in hearing due to my military service; although it is not severe. But I notice that when my anxiety level increase, causing me to become hypervigilant and then my hearing becomes sensitive. At times it's almost like "super" hearing but I can't focus on any specific sound or location; it all comes flooding in at me. Usually at the same time, my vision gets blurry but I am acutely aware of quick movements.

Marlene & All, Great informative comments. Yes! I do not "Process" all incoming sounds etc. because some become distractions to others as I rule out possible dangers around me. It makes me miss content during a conversation because until I sort out the danger, the conversation becomes lower on hierachy of safety. Does that make sense?
