Support Group
I want to start a local support group but my anxiety is gonna make that hard. I want to connect with other people around me managing anxiety, depression, and/or PTSD. I feel I need to do this. I think it will help my anxiety. Has anyone done this before?

Start trauma group tomo
So nervous! Often get triggered due to ptsd! I will have someone by me to make sure I don’t dissociate. So nervous because I hate not feeling in control and when I’m triggered I lose control. I’m also showing a bump with pregnancy now so don’t want anyone to think I will be a bad mum because I won’t

Toss and turn and so on.....
Even with the meds (hydroxyizine and xanax) my doc told me to take before bed I still toss and turn all night long. I don't stay up, I'm able to go back to sleep, but I'm waking up 10-15 times a night. I'm exhausted because I don't get any rest. Does anyone one else face this? I've not received a formal

Psychosis in 2009...still haunts me but I'm sill going!
Hi All, I'm Nicky. In 2009 after giving birth to my first child I literally "popped" on day 9 and was sent to hospital in an ambulance, yelling and screaming. I was nursed at home but my husband and his parents but I was always treated like I was mental. A psychiatrist put me on Meds and it took about

High risk of PPP - Meds & Bottle Feeding
I met with a Perinatal Psychiatrist yesterday who explained that the risk of me getting PPP is high, and it’s likely to be very severe if it happens. I’m currently well, and not taking any medication. To reduce the risk of PPP, he suggested I take lithium and low dose of haloperidol about two months

Oral Surgery- Pre Op Assessment

Worried
Hi I have had limited systemic sclerosis and so overlaps for a few years. I’m under a local rheumatologist and the royal free. I’ve never had any difficulty with Gi issues and had an all clear barium swallow. About 3 days ago I started to get a pain between my shoulder blades It’s like I need to

Could it be related to PTSD?
This is extremely personal but this community is amazing and completely supportive so here goes it. I've been doing some thinking and my life did not take a toll for the worst until October through December of 2016. During that span of time I accidentally came out to my parents who are very unsupportive

First meeting with midwife
I just met midwife for the first time (2nd baby), it seemed like she had many years of experience, but she did not know of postpartum psychosis. I’ll have to print out some APP guides and take them with me every time I meet with my healthcare providers, as I’m at risk. Really disappointing that there

New to site
I just joined so wanted to introduce myself. I have suffered with bipolar depression, ptsd and anxiety my whole life. I am somewhat better but now I really hate to leave my house. I live with my dog and cat and have no family around which means I do have to go to stores when needed. People don't seem
