I have now been told that I have PTSD! Why?
I have had anxiety and depression since I had a breakdown 16 year's ago when a woman I thought was a friend, stabbed me in the back ( not literally!) because she wanted to be me ! Goodness knows why ! Long story! I fought hard with the help of an OT and I would not be here but for him and people here

I sight needed
I had a craniotomy 2014. Acquired TBI. My husband is a veteran. He too has ptsd but there is no way he will admit it. I have ptsd too. The horrible world situation is too much for me. I can no longer discuss it with him. It is triggering. But he does not stop. He discusses with his brother daily. I have

just found this poem I wrote
Hi all I don't know if this is appropriate but I just came across this poem I wrote a few years ago, during a really bad spell of RLS. I am on meds that work now, so it is not as bad. Please pass over if not interested. I just remember wishing someone could understand so I wrote down my experience

PPP and menopause
My sister experienced PPP after her first pregnancy. It took around 6 months to establish a medication routine that worked for her, and she has managed her subsequent bipolar diagnosis for 17 years. She started experiencing menopause symptoms and started HRT, and altering her meds, and then spiralled

Returning to work
My wife has recently been discharged from the MBU and we've had our first few 'proper' days together with baby at home. Feels a bit like what would have been many, many weeks ago when baby arrived if the PPP hadn't taken over. Mum is doing really well with baby but we are taking things day-by-day, hour-by-hour

Postpartum psychosis
My daughter gave birth to her baby boy in march (our 1st grandchild) I was at the birth and almost immediately saw a change in her. She was begging for help and asked not to be discharged she wasn't ready, but they discharged her home anyway. The birth itself was traumatic but she started fading away

Tired
Hello I have Complex PTSD, depression and serious anxiety problems. I am tired of dealing with all of this everyday. I would never inflict harm on myself or others though. I joined this group so I could maybe have people to talk to........if I can help others, that would be great too!

Feeling Shame...
My PTSD symptoms include an overwhelming shame. It can be overwhelming at times. Part of it is shame for the things that happened to me, and part of it is shame for the things that I truly did. I know we "sufferers" can manifest things differently, and for me my shame is overwhelming at times. How
