Thank you !
Hi just wondering if anyone else out there is disabled by this condition?
My cptsd has triggered psycogenic seizures and agoraphobia so that combination has disabled me.im also bipolar.
Growing up my parents were extremely abusive towards each other and myself. There would be police and social workers involved a lot.
Aside from that. My dad not only abused my mum but trapped and tortured and killed animals such as farm cats and sheep ( we lived very rural) he also had cameras everywhere to watch you.
Im 25 and after many years of really struggling with my mental illnesses and struggling to cope with what they both did I stopped contacting them and asked them to do the same.
But the past week I've been getting texts from my dad through messenger( fb) and the latest one was " what did I do to you to deserve this"
I have ignored it and all the other texts. Am I an asshole ? Am I making things worse ? Should I contact them and tell them why?

What the title says im curious if your depression is worse in the morning. Mines is by far then at about 3 in the afternoon it lifts a little and I can eat something and do my teeth.
Nearly finished the main quest but I am just wondering if I can still free roam after it ?
Question about chest freezer
I have two large chest freezers in the shed and I just did a massive food shop and filled both of them to the absolute top. The lid can still seal and close right.
My question is this, is it okay to fill them this much ?
For me it was prolonged trauma and the resulting cptsd. What caused you guys to be housebound ?
I had a phone call with my psychiatrist about 2 weeks ago now and he said he can only prescribe a new medication after seeing me in person. I foolishly said I can attend in person even though I cant.
Is there any adjustments that can be made. Does anyone else get home visits here ?
I have a few mental illnesses and one of them causes frequent severe flashbacks and nightmares. This has caused me to have what I think is panic attacks.
During a panic attack I feel panic and fear and my throat closes up and I wheeze and cant breathe.
Does anyone else experience this or have advice
These are my new weighted teddies 🧸
I have an appointment in 6-8 weeks with my psychiatrist after a phone call I had with him today. He said he cant prescribe a new medication for me without seeing me in person.
I am housebound with my agoraphobia and I dont know how I can attend an in person clinic for my medication.
I was thinking of getting a taxi to the clinic and having my partner with me.
Does anyone have any advice
I spend my days housebound in my safe room just trying to regulate my brain and trying to self soothe.
It takes up my whole time is anyone else like this ?
I have some form of dissociative disorder and we still don't know what one exactly. This just seemed the best place to be.
I have moments apx. Once a week where I end up at the beach or some other rural location far away from home without knowing how I got there. I "wake up" to me walking on the beach or some rural trail.
My last one was yesterday and I ended up walking about 13 miles.
How can I stop these? Does anyone else habe similar issues?
I have a psychiatric appointment in a few weeks.
I made this jumper in 24 hours just using double crochet. I wore it for the first time and people thought it was ugly.
My new psychiatrist has put me on this for severe nightmares and im wondering if anyone else has used this and how effective it is
Hi. I have autism and I have other mental illnesses.
I am eloping a lot lately. I get very overwhelmed by nightmares and sensory issues and I end up running away to the beach. I dont remember how I get to the beach but its always there I go. I find the water soothing.
I also have agoraphobia and I find these moments really stressful and traumatic and I dont want to leave the house ever again willingly.
What can I do to help this ?
I cant beleive she is gone, she was the main reason ibe been getting there. Shes the one who listened to me and now im gonna have to get a new mh nurse who I dont know. Its all reallt stressful ajd scary
