Help With Sleep


My sleep is very.. not really good right now. I will get 3-4 hours nights then none. I am only taking Trazodone temporarily to get me through and it s not really working. I say temporarily because last time I was on it for over a couple of weeks I became suicidal. My therapist suggested that I go to the ER. I am afraid they will lock me up because of suicidal ideation. I m having trouble making decisions. Really could use some help.

All the weird behaviours and lame excuses and half-assed explanations that he gave me (and still gives me, occasionally), that didn t quite seem to add up when viewed through the lense of PTSD, now make perfect sense.

Has Anyone Here Survived Severe Me?


spent three years being bedridden barely able to cook, clean, run errands, often not able to at all. was abused thru a period of this time. I m going on nearly a decade of being sick, and it s had a profound impact on my life, and yet there are entire years which are gone for me; I am unable to access them. of course there s some ptsd, but some things are not worth remembering imo. my vague recollection of it was that was nothing more than giant void, a great period of nothingness.

Alexithymia?? (struggle/difficulty With Verbal Communication)??


I recently came across the term Alexithymia while reading a book.... it is a Greek word that lierally translates to mean "no words for feelings." The book then further explains that "people with alexithymia experience emotions but experience great difficult explaining to others how they are feeling. They are unable to give depth and detail to their accounts beyond a feeling of being upset or bothered....people struggling with this are unable to translate how they are feeling into words....

We couldn t differentiate the diagnosis based on their performance on this test, lead writer Kelly Ryan, PhD, clinical assistant professor, Department of Psychiatry, Neuropsychology Program, University of Michigan Medical School and Depression Centre, Ann Arbor, told Medscape Medical News.

Medical marijuana efficacy for PTSD lacking evidence, says doctor


Many veterans are simply turning to cannabis to ease symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder, despite concerns about successful weed is at treating the problem from the health care community. There are a tremendous amount of testimonials from patients with post traumatic stress disorder who say dehydrated cannabis helps them, however there s a deficiency of randomized, controlled trials, said Dr. Stewart Cameron, a family doctor and professor at Dalhousie University s faculty of medicine. In September 2014, the College of Family Physicians of Canada released a record to help physicians determine the best way to use cannabis in their own practices. They strongly recommended that it not be used for PTSD, said Cameron. They suggested it should be reserved as a third or fourth line agent in people who suffer certain types of pain. Veterans Affairs paid out $5.2 million for medical cannabis to veterans across Canada last year. Of that, $3.4 million went to veterans in Atlantic Canada. T
