PTSD symptoms

Good morning. I feel scared. Just had a nightmare. I want to get better but not sure if it's possible. I tell others it is. I know it is but I seem so deep in my troubles that it feels impossible to get better. I'm going to tell my therapist that I need help and I want to get better because I want to get over this. I feel overwhelmed and don't know what to do. I am starting to feel better just knowing this group exists. Thanks for listening.

I dreamt I was Robert dinero and I was a scary pirate that was trying to escape an asylum. He was desperate and there was more scary stuff. I think there's a part of me that is even more desperate locked away in there. Deep in a locked up place. Why are they locked up? Why were they male while I'm female? Thanks for responding Luna child. I know my therapist can help too when I see her. Also, i am not sure about if I want to be in my committed relationship right now. I'm so lonely in it. I wonder if I should keep my name on the housing list? I need to figure it out by Tuesday. I also dreamed that I attacked my boyfriend and tried to break his nose. I feel kinda terrible but it was a dream thank goodness.

Hi Andrea

Well I was gonna say what a sad story but it’s pretty enlightening to be honest.

You’ve come up and said some very positive words.I WANT TO GET BETTER well done nice one.

I wouldn’t say your half way there as the saying goes but yes you’ve made a start.

Now a little advice if I may.

Between now and your therapist what you think is going on in your mind as remember the therapist can help you but they can’t read minds hey lol.

Also push your therapist like crazy for what you want.it may not be easy or it may be handed on a plate.

By writing your words it will show the therapist your willing to work hard,you’ve taken the anisiative sorry for spelling to want to help your self.

Just don’t give up please.

Perhaps while writing down,write all your troubles down that seem to be snow balling you in sections there for it will be easy to read and decifer.

When I visit a doctor my psychiatrist who ever I always write down what I wish to say on either my iPad or phone.

Believe me they like this as it gets to the point for them but also gives you more time with them.

Again write in sections so the therapist doc who ever doesn’t get over whelmed with loads of info.

I hope this has helped you a little and helped you move forward a tad

Wish you much luck

All the best T

Hello ,I am new to the group. I just wanted to comment that I to Suffer from PTSD long with severe anxiety and depression.I recently fell victim domestic violence.My PTSD is so uncontrolled right now that even walking the parking lot is full of issues. I have honestly been religiously taken meds and attempting all type of help I could. This Incident just brought me to square one. I really don't know what way to best deal with this. My biggest anger is how people judge and brush this condition as not "real" or legitimate or blame you for being on some type of drug.I find myself having to prove my sobriety constantly. I really wish for some help will come to all of us soon this is real and the war we battle everyday just to be functional only we can understand.

Hi lakoritalv. I understand what you said. I think that others misjudging is the worst part too or at least doesn't help. Stay strong and do what you think is right. Thanks for commenting and welcome.
