Relentless Flashbacks

I m curious, do men actually need sex. Or just want it? And... Why do they need / want it so much? I d particularly like men s viewpoints on this, although both genders opinions are of course welcome. Thanks - a woman

Why Do Friends Or Family Members Never Understand

I think I need a safe place to put my gun so that I don t have access to it. I m not sure where I could put it though. I only have 2 other family members in the state: one is a drug dealer and the other has very severe mental health issues. No one know I have the gun except for my wife, and she is not comfortable handling weapons. Ideas?

My Thoughts

Hi I am new to this forum so just saying hello to all out there. I have joined this community to try and benefit from peer support with others who are also living with a diagnosis of ptsd and going through treatment as i currently am. I don t want to disclose to much at this point but hopefully over time i ll be able to share my story. Even as I wrote that last sentence i felt rediculous. Really in the grand scheme of things what happened to me is not a big deal and honestly i feel like i... Intro

Ptsd Fear Signals, Go Away

Hello Moderators, @anthony, @joeylittle I have read the announcement that the Help Desk is removed and has been replaced by the Ticket System. I can not find out where to initiate the ticket system to eventually submit my question (Please be patient with me, I am slow to find and navigate on websites.) How do I submit my question? For a second I accidentally found it on a side b, got my question submitted, but now I can not relocate it. Is "ticket"... Requesting Help To Find Ticket To Ask Forum Related Question

Are These Body Memories

I have a housemate who really triggers me with his laugh and the noises he makes watching tv and playing video games. I really, really hate his loud, environment-shattering laugh. The cues literally prompt me to physically prepare to defend my life. That s what it feels like. I don t like engaging him because when I do he can t seem to respond. The one time I did he just apologized profusely and ran himself down. What else can I do besides my own inner work on acceptance. I really feel the... Triggered By Intense/obnoxious Outbursts

Earth-centered Spirituality: Pagan, Wiccan, Druid, Native American, Other

I ve come to the conclusion that as a PTSD INTJ female, I will have to settle for mostly imaginary friends in life. I m lucky to have my husband as my BFF. Maybe it s best. Do you think having PTSD makes it very hard to feel like you can make friends, as an adult?

New Friends

I was sexually abused as child at the age of 5 or 6 and my father was never convicted because the court said that they don t have enough evidence. Anyways,I am 16 now. I was at his house visit because that is what the court orderd. I get flashbacks of the abuse and I stare off into space and start and act like a child. I watch shows I loved as a child and suck my thumb and hug my stuffed animals. Is this dissociation?

Is This Dissociation Or What?

Time Journaling For Dissociation

This isn t directly PTSD-related although I sometimes wonder if my symptoms cloud my perceptions and judgement calls. I was bantering back and forth a bit with just a friend one night (no interest) after she started in on me. She considers herself one of the guys and always dishes it out with everyone. But it got to a point where she thought I crossed the line and got too personal, and now she has the wrong impression of me. I never meant anything as more than a joke in the same way I didn t...

Can Someone Please Help Me With A Dissociation Question ?

This is a silly game for all of us to connect whom usually disconnect. I will start with a word. The next person to post must post the first word that comes to mind (articles and prepositions do not count: the, a, an, of, etc.). The next person looks at the last post, posts their first word association, and so on. Please post your word at the end of your post so that this is the last word the next person reads and their association can be clear! The fun of the game is getting from...

Frightened Of My Own Mind

Long story short, married recently for the 2nd time. Already had kids to ex, more kids with new husband. NH used to be amazing with all the kids, now PTSD has essentially made him an angry, selfish and lazy version of the man I knew, and the stepdad they knew. I ve lost the man I loved, most of the time I actually dislike this new version of him. I ve tried for a very long time to deal, and thought the best thing for our family was for us to move forward and get married. But now all the... It s Affecting The Kids?

Have You Had Emdr? Did It Help You Heal Relational Trauma?

I didn t think I d start a diary because I ve tried regurgitating my trauma and I don t want to go there again. But I need to do a brain dump, without infesting the other threads, and I m not looking for someone to hold my hand. I don t want to hear that I ve got good qualities worth salvaging. Suicide is a constant companion of mine, but not yet, not like this - I couldn t bear their eulogies for me. I got discharged from hospital today, not because I m cured but because I needed...

Does Anyone Sleep With The Door Shut/locked?

First time seeing this T. Have to repeat The Story even though they have all the notes they need. So it s a struggle, right? The fogging haze of dissociation sets in; I don t wanna answer every damn question and I m told to use grounding techniques Now: WHY should I ground myself back into my T s room where I am most uncomfortable? I m quite happy to drift away into Fogland and forget about reality.
