i understand the body memory thing....
growing up i had a very abusive father until the age of nine.... when i was about 24 and had gotten my first apt.... i was sitting watching tv one evening and got a call from a strange woman that said she had someone on the other line that wanted to talk to me. After a few seconds a mans voice came on the phone......it took me only a few seconds to realize it was my real father......my body/mind reacted instantly and i just fell to the ground hanging up in the same instance..... It was like i was 8 years old all over again....fear, terror, sadness and all the feelings came rushing back......so yes i do believe that your body has the ability to react to memories.... another instance is when i was 12 i had an extremely high fever..with this fever came tunnel vision.....and to this day..when i see certain hole configurations...i get that same sick in my chest feeling as i did with that tunnel vision. i know this is not as an instense situation as some have you have been thur but i can totally relate to the body reacxting to past situations.. |

Man, I wish I could tell you what's goin on but it's personal and this really isn't the appropriate place to vent it. It's just unbelievable that this crap is happening to me and how it's wrecking my life. I cannot understand (wrap my head around it) at all why I am having to go through this. I just know that it's caused me to have new anxiety and PTSD about it now. I wouldn't wish what I am going through on my worst enemy. Please just pray that the outcome will benefit me in a good way so that I can move on with my life, and take the steps toward making a new life for myself and get my life back on track. Thank you for making this thread available for us all.

How long have you suffered the psychiatric or emotional affects of PTSD? We've listed some of them here: Hypervigilance and scanning Elevated startle response Blunted affect, psychic numbing Aggressive, controlling behavior (a high degree of insistence on getting your way) Interruption of memory and concentration Depression Generalized anxiety Violent eruptions of rage Substance abuse Intrusive recall -- different from normal memory in that it brings with it stress and anxiety Dissociative experiences, including dissociative flashbacks Insomnia Suicidal ideation Survivor guilt |

Some times I am so frustrated when I can't be the kind of friend I want to be because I have to be careful of my own very fragile mental health.
I think I should give more, do more, be more. My therapist says I need to keep "should'ing" myself, but it is hard to stop. I wish everyone a safe, peaceful weekend. We are having storms, so I plan to get the basement tornado ready (candles, weather radio) this evening and spend the rest of the weekend reading and meditating. Peace! Jen

Yep doctor tested and approved !!
Jet, the answer to your question about being diagnosed by my doctor as having PTSD is YES. I won't go into what all the symptoms are personally for me as it's not something I wish to discuss at the moment. I am trying to limit my sharing of personal information on the internet as it has back-fired on me in the past. I do hope you and all the rest of the folks on this thread understand this. It's not a matter of embarrassment or anything as such, it's more of protection than anything for myself.
