I do not have this. I am post menopausal which has its own set of issues to content with. Like trying to grow old gracefully for one and trying to deal with all the changes your body goes throught during this time in a women life.
Two things that are not mentioned here are hyper vigilance and a exaggerated startle response. These are to of the symptoms I have in relation to my ptsd in additions to the other symptoms you have mentioned here. I am not sure how this program is able to help a person who has been a victim of a violent crime. If you watch the news or read the paper or listen to the radio there is always news of some new sexual predator on the loose. I really see no way to escape it and the fact that it is a very dangerous world out there. It seems to feed into the fear and fuels the symptoms related to ptsd of this type as does the war news to a combat veteran. I do have a hard time dealing with it and the ptsd. I am not sure if their are any real answers or solutions when dealing with ptsd? If their are any I would love to know?
I just wanted to let everyone know how it went today with jury duty. I was able to get there on time. I had some anxiety but I did not go into a panic. They let us go early because all of the case were plea bargained out or the trials we postponed for a later date. We were not called in groups of 35 to be questioned which is normally part of the jury selection process because their were not any trials for us to serve on today. I did get sick with my ulcerative colonlitis and was in a lot of pain before they let us leave for the day. Anyway I am glad it is over and that I am now home resting. I should be better by tomorrow. I can not be called again for jury duty for at least 1 year. I do think I am going to submit a written statement to the court next time for physically reasons and see what happens all the can do is reject it and force me to go anyway. I also may consider going again, maybe I won't get sick next time being that I have now exposed myself to part of the process. Well I got to go for now and get myself well again. Before I go I want to thank everyone for all of their help, support, and prayers.
Nothing new today. I am a little tired from yesterdays exposure. I am still thinking about and trying to work on a routine. My routine does involve leaving the house to walk at least 3 days a week. I am hoping I will do better when I get rested up. I am feeling a little axnious and tired today not sure why. Thats enough about me. How is every body else doing this morning?
I am still having issues with the ptsd and they seem worst lately with whats going on in the news. I am not sure how I am ever going to be able to over come it. I thought I was getting better but now it seems all fresh in my mind. The fight or flight response can be very paralyzing making it impossible to leave the house. I have not felt safe out there ever since my safe person my marine got sick and passed away. I would like to know is their anyway to deal with this and is their hope for me to lead a normal life???? I am really sick of being afraid and trapped inside my house.
I am sorry to hear you are having a hard time with the new medication. I want to thank you for responding to my post. I know that had to be very very difficult for you being the new med is making it hard for you think straight. You need to think about you now, and put yourself first. I do not expect you to be able to post right now. Please be you will be careful with this new medication and when you are up to it let us know how you are doing. If you are not feeling good and just want someone to talk too, post and I will answer if I am on line. You said you were feeling lost, but remember Davit you are not alone.
I have gone as for as I can with this right now and have come to a dead end. I need to take a break from this and will be going into hibernation for a while.
