Introductions Make Me Nervous …
So, introductions make me nervous. I ve been cyber-stalking the site for a while, looking for reassurance and knowledge that I m not totally crazy. Now, here I am, officially. My story is hard to tell. On the surface, it seems relatively benign, but its pretty obvious to me that the impact has been huge. I grew up in a pretty dysfunctional home: my dad was an alcoholic, and although he never hit anyone, there was always a lot of frightening, loud words and implied violence (i.e. slamming...

So Disappointed In Myself
I haven t been here in a long while. I was doing really well. I guess if I m trying to be fair to myself I m doing pretty well in general compared to the places I ve been and the stories I ve heard from others. I go to work and function, I m on new meds, which are finally giving me back the full range of emotion - the ones I was on before I felt were really dulling things. That s also made it a bit difficult to deal with the way emotions change so quickly again. Definitely a bit scary. I m... So Disappointed In Myself

Structural Dissociation?
I am reading what this is online but having a hard time with understanding somehow. I am wondering if this is what I used to do. Not DID but instead coconscious. Does anyone know of this term or been told they are structurally dissociated? Thank you!

Scrambled Brain
I could use suggestions. One of my strengths is I ve always been a sort of hyper-focused person. Sometime now, though, I just can t manage to get and stay focused even though I really want to. Can t do it today. Have been at work for 2 hours and can t think straight enough to do anything at all. I ve tried breathing, yoga poses, hot drinks, food. Does this happen to anybody else?

Calling Spouses Of People With Combat Ptsd
@owl1982 and me thought it would be a good idea to discuss our spouse s combat PTSD in this thread - as well as related issues such as the transition to civilian live for our husbands. We would be happy if others decided to join us. Suggestion: We could also make an arrangement to meet in the chatroom at a certain time - but I won t be able to attend regularly because of family duties.

I Should Feel Lucky
HI. Where do I begin? I m a roofing contractor working for my dad and have been since leaving school 14 years ago. I ve got a loving, carrying wife who I love and a beautiful little daughter. I lost my grandad to a sudden heart attack in early November which got me quite hard. It made me think about my own mortality a bit. Then in early December, a roof ladder I was using split, and I came off the roof and fell 30 feet. I dislocated my ankle, shattered my foot, broke the ball off the top of... I Should Feel Lucky

Horrific Episode, 2 Er Visits
Hi Everyone, I m posting this because I had a horrific day yesterday and am still feeling incredibly raw and upset. Yesterday, for a number of reasons I don t feel like going into, I had an anxiety attack that lasted an entire day. I threw up until I couldn t feel my hands and feet anymore and all that was left in me was stomach acid. An ambulance took me to the ER, they gave me an IV and meds for nausea and anxiety, and then sent me on my way. Less than two hours later, the attack came... Horrific Episode, 2 Er Visits

A Yoga Pose I Find Helpful
I ve been doing this pose whenever anxiety threatens to overwhelm me while at home. It really does calm me right down. I wanted to share it in case it helps others. Get a large bolster or something of a similar size and shape, like a few big pillows squished up or a yoga mat around a pillow. It should be long enough to cover from about your sternum to your pubic bone. Put on floor.

Pressured Speech
Does anyone experience pressured speech or rapid speech patterns when anxious? I have experienced this 3 times in the past two weeks. It s really intense. I get into a panic, and then all of a sudden, I go from struggling to spit any words out of my mouth at all (my normal state of being) to being able to talk a million miles a minute.

I was in a car accident about 7 weeks ago and about 2 weeks after the accident I started feeling anxiety and stress. I ve dealt with bad anxiety already for the last few years, so I knew right after the accident that getting over this would be tough.
