what is wrong with you?

I have PTSD and am a pot head and incredibly anal. The last one, I have gotten so much better at because I realize at times it can hurt other's feelings and I hate knowing I hurt someone or made them uncomftrable.

 

Yes.

Also, do you want me to criticize you more so you could add even more things to your list ?

 

i really appreciate the offer, but i wouldn't want to show up all these other nice people posting lists of their own.

 

PTSD sucks so badly. It ruins so many lives.

Are you getting treatment for it ? If yes, what kinda ?
If its too personal, you don't need to answer.

 

I am short sighted, I am allergic to dust and pollen, I have a very fragile stomach and intestines - I had one big ulcer - I have ultra-sensitive skin, dry hair, migraines, hypoglycemia, panic attacks, insomnia, gingivitis, arthritis, and I think that's all?

Oh and many OCD's.

 

Pardon me but when did you grow up

Well anyways congratulations, you’ve now earned my respect

i'm 44.

 

I'm not currently getting treatment for it. i am taking meds and self-medicating. I worked for a huge psychiatric firm and for the head of the psych department at the university. Being a small town, I just felt like nothing i said would really be confidential and what happened is so disgusting I'm afraid people who like me would see me differently.
When we move next month, I am going to find a good psychiatrist who can get me off of my meds and teach me some cognitive techniques.
Part of the reason i quit working in my field, is because I felt like i was too crazy to be a therapist. I felt like I was being hypocritical.
Do you have it, know some who has it, or are you studying it in med school?

 

We had a patient last year. Terrible PTSD, he tried to kill himself three times in one year. The psychiatrist told us that PTSD cannot be cured since it permanently changes a part of your brain ( unfortunately she didn't explain it any further because it wasn't in the program, it was stupid psychological medicine, psychiatry is 5th year, I think ).

My uncle also has it. He is the nicest person I have ever met. Very intelligent and bright. However, he was a soldier and war practically ruined him. He's doing fine, but he has his episodes. I don't think he would be capable of living on his own though. Its difficult to watch it.

 

I quit my job. I started to get a superority complex with how often I was being asked for advice and praised. An experience that should have made me more mature and empathetic, instead did the opposite.
Now that I'm staying home, I feel like a new person.
Thank you for noticing

 

nice play on words.

 

I feel for your Uncle. I couldn;t imagine developing PTSD from doing a heroic thing for my country. People who do good things shouldn;t have bad things happen.

 

Awesomeitis, betterthenyouosis, acute myeloid leukemia.

 

Stress can lead to some bizarre behavior; and alleviating it can create wonders
