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 just found this forum today, searching for 'PTSD triggers' - I'm in the process of getting to know mine, triggers that is. I have probably had PTSD most of my life, lots of very very early trauma. But I'll cover all that (or attempt to) in another thread.

I live in Victoria BC Canada
I feel very alone in the world most of the time
I have a really good therapist

I've been holding it together for so long, just starting to come apart at the seams a little, but it's mostly good, gradually opening up to people. I'm looking forward to making some good connections here. So far it has been a lonely road...

Welcome Brella! Ah! the push/pull of the abuser, loving then cruel, a little building up then a lot of tearing down. My mother should hang out with yours, of course, they wouldn't be aware that they are looking in a mirror. If you are looking for triggers you will find them but is that your way of trying to isolate yourself from sources of pain? Many of us retreat further and further away from the world that hurt us which can create even more pain- the pain of isolation. I severed all contact with my mother for 4.5 years and I don't know that I accomplished any thing because her voice was already in my head. You will find the path that works for you and i hope you mind can feel free.
