Trying to get off Olanzapine
Hi, Thought I just offload some thoughts about my meds. I had PP over a year ago now following the birth of my son. I’m on 10mg olanzapine and 100mg sertraline. I’ve been fully discharged from the mental health team and my mood has gone back to normal. I just want to come off the meds but the consultant

I want to recommend EMDR and Prazosin for PTSD
They both work pretty good! ESPECIALLY EMDR, it even helped me with my fear of heights and now I can ride roller coasters! Prazosin is an RX for flashbacks.

Do we ever recover from the trauma of psychiatric hospitals?
I know that we recover from postpartum psychosis, but can I ask do those who end up in general psychiatric hospitals , ever recover from that trauma? The reason why l ask is I locked the trauma away for some 20 odd years until I couldn't hold onto it any longer, to me it was a whole month of a very

The staff were very harsh and I felt as though no one sympathiesed

How do I stop imagining my abuser is everywhere I go?
My previous counselor flooded me and opened the "bag of worms" about my past trauma without teaching me coping skills for my ptsd. She then wouldn't talk to me because she got too emotional about my past. I was left experiencing horrific side effects of my ptsd. After a few months, I now have a great

Blowing up because I felt backed into a corner
A little bit of background info- I live in the middle of nowhere, I don't drive, I have PTSD with panic disorder and agoraphobia. I have to rely on the kindness of others to get the most basic things (I haven't gotten my mail in over a month), far too much is out of my control. I had an appointment today
