Anyone know anything about PTSD?

[NicoleLJ]

This is something I have. Flash backs and violent nightmares are just some of the few symptoms I deal with. Since mine is from a rape most any man touching me or coming up on me suddenly can send me into a panic. If I see a car or person similar in looks to the person who did this to me then I can have waking nightmares. My husband says it is like I just stop and get this vage look on my face and can start screaming or so on.

Since having Sheena she has helped a huge amount. Doesn't take away the disability but does relieve it a lot along with meds and therapy. She lets me know when men are approaching so I have time to prepare, she acts as a physical block in line ups so I don't have to worry about being touched. When I go into a waking nightmare(as I call them) Sheena brings me out of it and helps ground me. THese are just a few thing I deal with because of this disorder.

PTSD is not something I would wish on anyone.

I both have PTSD and I work with it on a daily basis. If you would like to e-mail me with any questions I would be glad to help.

Hi, guys:

There's a forum on CrazyBoards.org that deals with PTSD. It's not medical as such - it is fellow sufferers posting their experiences etc.

It's adult and can be a bit raw...but there is no pussyfooting here.

There is also a link there to other PTSD sites.

Good luck!

It took a few years to fully progress but I got Tboned twice in less then a year and I can really panic while driving now. Its not to bad in the morning but later in the day I wont drive more then 3 miles if I can help it. Getting home from work I usually chant, "Youre OK" over and over. It dosent help Ive been putting off an alignment on my Jeep.
