Thanks!! That makes sense!! Yeah I guess I don’t know why I’m so like convinced I’m gonna be stuck on one drug and one drug only or stuck on drugs for life haha

That’s probably not the case.

But even so, I still think I’d prefer to try fixing it with more natural ways first. Not that there’s anything wrong with medication. It’s just as is I barely go outside and have horrible self care in general. When I take better care of myself even just for a day or two I feel way better. So I’d like to keep trying that route. Cause even lately I’ve only been lacking on it for a few days with my lack of sleeping and back to eating bad and I already feel it as opposed to when I was going to bed early and eating right and everything. Trying to get back on the ball today and have a bit but it’s a process.

It’s hard now too though cause it gets dark so early and it’s so cold so it’s hard to be outside. But I need to make an effort.

I really feel like my biggest issue though is just the lack of somebody to talk to so I think having a therapist will help with that.

Or maybe I might go back to writing (either in a journal or songs again) or drawing or something so I don’t have to tell people things constantly/over share

I wish I had a treadmill. That’d be a great way to exercise in the cold lol or to be able to watch TV without sitting so dang much haha

I do Bible journaling, diamond paintings, and those adult coloring books. I have issues sleeping so reading before bed helps too. I'm addicted to reading my Kindle at night.

except sometimes reading at night backfires at me because I will have dreams about what I read about.

sometimes if I watch walking Dead before I go to bed I will have insane zombie dreams

I took Wellbutrin and had bad side effects. I had night terrors that were really bad and scared the ever living daylights out of me. I'll never take it again.

Celexa and lexapro gave me terrible itchy red hives all over that sucked
Ended up

Wellbutrin
Buspar
Propranolol (great medication if i know im gonna be in a difficult situation like a meeting or presentation or something i take one an hour before and I dont get the dry mouth. Trembling, tight chest, feel woozy like im about to pass out)
And atarax for sleeping

See kdogg you're not alone everybody has issues

Get offline and go brush your teeth and take a shower now.

You need to go live with her. You keep her in line! That's what good friends do though.

Yea I get sleep paralysis too, only a couple times a year. Night terrors weekly and sleepwalking almost nightly.
Unfortunately for me sleep disorders are not well known and there isn’t many medications to throw at it when it’s linked to PTSD. Therapy is basically your best option.

That sounds awful! I’m sorry

Assuming you’ve probably tried most things but have you tried EMDR? It’s supposed to really help with PTSD from what I’ve heard.

Sometimes you don’t have an option. Anti seizure medication was real bad in that regard. Horrible side effects but you have no choice.

That makes sense!! That sounds terrible. are you on a better one now or?

When they test drugs they usually don't test them long-term. I forget how long they have to test them for FDA approval, I can ask my Dr when I see him Saturday.

I guess if they studied them a long time they would never be released.

I've been telling her to come stay with me for a while.
I'll boot camp her into shape quick.
