I suppose if your not diagnosed with it then it might be something else but similar..... so what the fuck eh now I'm confused hahahaha guess we all gotta lighten up a bit ....
Anyone else here with PTSD?
- Thread starter CarpeNocturnum
- Start date
My VA Dr. referred me to someone & the first thing he did was prescribe Zoloft, I took it for 3 days & told him I wouldn't take it any longer as it made me feel like I wasn't in control of my own thoughts/body. His next step was to prescribe another pill that I didn't even bother to pick up from the pharmacy.
Got a hold of my VA Dr. again & told her I didn't agree with just masking the pain w/ psychoactive drugs so she referred me to someone else whom took a different approach - sort of like immersion therapy where I was forced to talk & write about the events and to challenge the way I was remembering them.
My problem is that I was (& still am) taking responsibility for events I really had no control of, though I had convinced myself I did.
We were able to identify several triggers but I still get the panic attacks and very powerful feelings of dread/impending doom at random times though not as bad or as frequent prior to working with the program.
I don't have thoughts of hurting anyone or myself (Thank God) but when your brain takes you back to the "bad" place it really sucks.
I would strongly urge anyone that suspect's they might have it to seek help - I was at the end of my rope before I got help so I know where you're coming from.

Thank you, that's the one we used & I just completed it after around 7 months.
And I do feel much better.

What is being offered is not CBT as well.
I'm not about to fuck around with experimental shit. Those two different therapists that did EMDR were useless next to them being a caring ear.

a lot of vets did use pot back then and pot has been shown to help with PTSD. they just did not have a name for it back then. I do love chicken hawks. especially sauteed with butter and garlic
