Your circumstances are entirely irrelevant... Not really a good choice available. Scars on the body do not fully heal sometimes. I have mind scars that never fully heal. I don't expect many to understand, but most who have not lived trough what I did would not. The easier choice would be to give up. Im not going to do that. i have some issues too. it seems nothing really helps. for me there are things that help me hide it from the view of others, but noting that soothes my soul. i am trying to just except it is a part of me and i am who i am. it is hard to live sometimes when you remember too much and can not forget even if you try with the entirety of your being. i try to not give that part of me too much energy but no matter how tired or energy deprived that part is it seems to have a very strong will to rise up. so much of happy life is a illusion and once the illusion is broken there does not seem to be any replacing it. |

Few people do, and yet many people are. Why? Because many people have the one primary character trait that leads to unhappiness. And you need to avoid it. Nationally syndicated talk show host Dennis Prager explains." "You can't be a happy person if you aren't grateful. You can't be a good person if you aren't grateful. Almost everything good flows from gratitude. Almost everything bad flows from ingratitude." "Ingratitude guarantees unhappiness. It is as simple as that. There isn't an ungrateful happy person on earth. There isn't an ungrateful good person on earth." [link to www.youtube.com (secure)] The Key to Happiness is Gratitude. . It is not that I am ungrateful, resentful or bitter. It is the flashbacks of people slapping me, choking me, burning me and hurting me. They are very real and cause me psychological pain. I’m very sorry that happened to you. I’ve had some awful things happen too. Many of us have. But we can turn lemons into lemonade. Our experiences help us to be more empathetic people able to help others. I’ve worked on forgiveness and even pray for those who did awful things to me. It does take some work. Be kind to yourself. |

No one at all User ID: 21125711 United States 10/12/2020 09:42 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Check into agmatine sulfate. It works via the same pathways as ketamine (and increases endorphins) but has only the slightest touch of a trip aspect to it. It doesn't work for some, but those it does work for call it magical. Some suggest doses up to 2g/day (higher than on the supplement packaging) It's also nowhere near the cost of ketamine infusions. Evening primrose oil works great for some as well, but be careful, as it makes some folks worse. As someone suggested earlier, l-tyrosine is worth trying, as is dlpa (d/l phenylalanine). dlpa and l-phenylalanine are too stimulanting/anxiety provoking for me, so I use only d-phenylalanine. D-phenylalanine also increases endorphins |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 78310900 United States 10/12/2020 09:44 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | First thing you need to work on is getting a good night's sleep. Sleep deprivation will whack you out during the day. PTSD sufferers rarely ever sleep well. Also work on your diet and get plenty of exercise. If your joints are an issue, try swimming. Quoting: GA Girl Yes I am insomniac. I was prescribed trazedone for that. I do not like taking it though as it makes me sleep for too long and then I am groggy all day. I eat mostly salads. Cucumbers and green veggies. Also almonds. I try to walk everyday it does help. I love swimming. Constant stress eventually causes adrenal burnout (research adrenal burnout diets). That burnout, added to changes due to female hormone fluxes, which also causes sleep issues, can be a real problem for older women. Your doc prescribed trazadone (an off-label prescription of an anti-depressant) instead of Ambien (or other sleep med), so I am going to read between the lines that you are an older female and you might have some issues with snoring? Sleep meds are dangerous for people who might have sleep apnea because they might be put in too deep of a sleep and not wake up (along with many being potentially addictive), so doctors use the Trazodone instead. Because Trazadone relaxes and helps some to sleep, docs prescribe that for older women instead of hormone replacement therapy, which they fear is dangerous. You might need a sleep study to see what is going on. You've got to get a handle on your sleep problems first. |

Take daily: Vitamin C Magnesium (soaks in hot bath with epsom salts regularly) Vitamin D3 (Sunshine vitamin, huge in depression. 15mins a day of sunlight correlates with significant mood changes) Thyroid support (another poster mentioned the importance of rebuilding stressed adrenals/ thyroid) ... the kicker, find a good source of ORMUS (ORMES); take this early in the day so as not to disrupt sleep. There are other supplements to throw in there depending on sex/ age/ physiology, and diet is huge too, but these are the basics I use to keep my mood balanced. |

First get your blood work done. CBC. CMP. Anemia’s, D25 hydroxy and a complete hormone panel of total test estradiol FSH LH and it’s very important to get SHGB ! Depression and ptsd are being treated with testosterone cypionate or enanthate. Low D25 hydroxy levels can contribute to depression (think seasonal depression from cloudy weather). Getting this level over 60 will help too. Once D3 is converted to D2 or D it becomes a pro-hormone. |

He used his discovery to cure himself of eczema, kidney disease and some other problems simply by changing his diet. He tried to narrow down the possible list of chemicals that could be causing auto-immune disease by asking a simple question: of the chemicals that are we more exposed to now than in the past (and more in the 1st world than the 3rd world), which ones are known to cause symptoms that are similar to auto-immune diseases. He hit upon a very simple answer: retinol, otherwise known as vitamin A. The fact that vitamin A is toxic has been known since the early 1900's. (Just google hypervitaminosis A.) And if you look into the established symptoms of acute and chronic hypervitaminosis A, they overlap almost exactly with all the symptoms of known auto-immune diseases. That is not controversial. The only thing controversial is that hypervitaminosis A is only thought to occur at extremeley high doses of vitamin A consumption — although there are plenty of studies that have shown that it can occur even at much lower doses than thought to be toxic. Since vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin, it accumulates in the body (mainly the liver and fat tissue). So even if you don’t consume a massive amount on any given day, it can easily build up over time." [link to medium.com (secure)] |
