Just need to talk about this...
This is a venting post. It contains some potentially upsetting info: I am so tired of being stuck with rage toward the people who abused me: teachers at a school where I was a boarding student. They are still out there. One of them is in the process of having his teaching credentials revoked after

Hello Everyone, My PTSD symptoms have gotten vastly better over the last year after doing EMDR therapy and finding a therapist who understands me. The problem is that the aftermath of my trauma goes on and on: I was sexually and mentally abused for months by a teacher at a boarding school just after

Stress & anxiety
I have suffered from anxiety and depression for over 15 years. It was controlled just fine with Meds until about 2 years ago. Now it's all going down hill. I also have chronic fatigue syndrome, severe GERD, fibromyalgia, TMJ, IBS, and carpal tunnel to name a few. Over the last 2 months it's really gotten

Counselor Today - Countering
I had a bad day today with counselor. She countered all I told her. Who needs that? I need validation. I know that my parents had a different viewpoint - THAT was the problem! I will explain that I need validation about things that happened to me, that they were wrong and that I was right to feel

Working to heal
Hello world- thanks for taking the time to read this. I am new to this site, and am excited to find a place where I can express my feelings (that is new for me and I've been told from a young age to suppress them / they just cause stress to others so best to stuff them). I've been on a healing journey

Accepting acceptance

Experience with prazosin?
I have nightmares as part of my PTSD. I read about prazosin a medication that supposedly takes away nightmares and helps you to sleep. I asked the doctor to prescribe it and he did. I tried it for the first time last night and had a great night! Should I be taking this or do EMDR or something else to

Think I need the tablets now.....
This EMDR is so tough at the moment. Still suffering PTSD from an experience from years ago that has re-emerged with the therapy I have had from the recent trauma. Have started on the citalopram as I am so scared about how I'm feeling, trying not to slip back into that black hole.............
