New And Scared

I ve struggled with PTSD for some time now so much so to the point where I was referred to a psychiatrist for constant Suicide attempts etc. Turns out I have Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder (EUPD) as well... it seems that my psychiatrist was very quick to "diagnose" me... anyways just wondering if anyone has had success with DBT or has been diagnosed with EUPD also? Would love to read that I m not alone in this.

It's Back

I went through quite a long time (almost a year) without thinking about Suicide, but I m back in that headspace again. I m ok right this second, but I ve had two episodes in the last two weeks where I didn t feel safe being alone because I thought I might hurt myself, and I have caught myself regularly judging high places for their potential lethality if jumped from (and being disappointed if I think they are not high enough). I don t have anyone here who knows me well enough to keep me safe... It s Back

Alcohol Induced Flashbacks?

I ve seen this on other forums and thought I d start one here, just 5 things that are on your mind today, can be totally random, and they don t have to be questions, just 5 things you re thinking today.

Confused By T's Reaction

A couple weeks ago my T and I were discussing politics and she stated a belief that I believed wrong. It confused me since I thought we were on the same wave link. I respect her so I decided I might be wrong so I researched it. I fact checked it I suppose and I discovered I was right so I printed it off and gave it to her yesterday. Her response completely confused me. I told her what it was and I thought she would consider the new information. She sat it down and said why do I feel the... Confused By T s Reaction

I was thinking that as we as sufferers work through our symptoms it s sometimes really helpful to be mindful of where we are and what we re discovering about ourselves. Both positive and negative.

Nothing

I recently started training a puppy to be my Service Dog. As with most new things I started to look for Service Dog related stuff and activities (including youtube and forums). One thing I noticed recently, is that few people here seem to have or at least talk about having a Service Dog. Because I believe service dogs can be such a help to those with PTSD and many other mental health issues I d like to open this thread for people who have, are training their own, or are interested in...

The Ship, The Storm And The Monsters.

Has anyone ever had a therapist constantly tell them that they need to disclose the Abuse to others in their lives? I could understand disclosing certain secrets like addiction or infidelity; things that could hurt others, damage relationships and hurt the person themselves. I am being told that I need to tell. Why do I need to tell? I cannot think of a single positive that would come out of telling anyone in my family. If anything it would cause chaos and others will treat me... Pushing To Disclose

Panic Attack And Intrusive Thoughts During Class?

Hi, guys. Over the course of the past few months I have been possibly recovering repressed memories of sexual Abuse. My problem is that I have no idea if there s any truth to them. I understand that Memory is feeble and that even if I remember things it may not all be accurate (that is if there is anything to remember). And I am okay with that. I m okay with not knowing details or ever figuring out who it was, although I do have my speculations. I just want to know if it happened at all. I... Discerning Reality From Fiction

Multiple Deaths

So this has been the roughest few weeks I think I ve ever experienced. My friend lost her baby and a colleague died, and today my friend died after battling cancer for the last 2 years.

Because I survived this is a kind of punishment or am I going crazy?

It stems from a serious of traumatic events which have happened to him throughout his early life. Prior to this summer he was incredibly mentally strong - a few Anxiety and anger issues, commitment worries and enjoyed time alone but no more issues than most of us have, it was just part of his personality.
