2013年10月9日 · Not a nervous laugh, but a big enjoyable laugh. I thought it was some kind of dark Irish humor because everyone in my family did it, but as time went on it was pointed out to me by a friend that she found it very sad and unsettling that I should be so disconnected from reality that I could laugh heartily talking about terrible things that had ...

2014年1月14日 · When I don't dissociate I laugh. Anything from anger to fear provoked by someone I'm with, or even empathizing with someone I just saw get hurt, can cause it. It's not a nervous laugh -- It feels like I just heard a really funny joke. I have almost no control over it, and it happens at the worst...

2016年1月28日 · Partly I just need to bitch about something today. Not fair to direct my angst at a book I have not read, but I do think trauma itself is more serious than pseudo-science, psychobabble, and self-help lingo (if only I could do more affirmations, I could make me a new nervous system) :laugh::meh:

2013年5月9日 · The appropriate therapy will teach our nervous system how to regulate itself again.

2024年12月23日 · - father used to call me a monkey and tell me this creepy monkey toy with chimes was my cousin. The monkey would clap his chimes and make this loud screeching noise while showing his red gums and teeth. My father would laugh and dance while I would be screaming bloody hell for him to stop (I was a toddler, and terrified).

2021年8月14日 · Hi. I am diagnosed with PTSD due to multiple trauma, and am on the waitlist to Sheppard Pratt. And am really nervous…Has anyone been there lately? What is it like on the unit? I know they have a 5% spandex rule. If it is 5% spandex is it o.k. Or a no go? Can you bring gel pens? What is their current MP3 policy? Current bringing food policy?

2015年2月26日 · Nervous breakdown is what happens, where you reach your limit on how much 'bad' you can take. I am speaking from experience, my life has only had 'bad' things happen to me, nothing good has ever happened to me in my life. After 32 years of this, I can't take any more and now I have suffered a nervous breakdown.

2018年2月15日 · Oh yeah, that's how it was in the beginning in 1977 when I had a nervous breakdown. The first T I say ever asked me how my family life was as a child and I broke down and started crying. I cried every time I saw her; three times a week for the next three weeks. And then she said "family" and I was off somewhere else. Now that word doesn't set ...

2020年1月30日 · (Virtually) Everyone on the planet gets mad, sad, scared, nervous, excited, <insert emotion here>. Or has thoughts they don’t like, unbidden memories, say or do things they aren’t proud of, in the heat of the moment. That’s just …

2006年9月26日 · miander, that is one of the worst things for me, too. it seems to be something i have to put up with. i have been sooo much calmer this week, it's wonderful. but, still the startle thing. it embarrases me too, people do notice, and i would, too. i am learning how to calm myself rather quickly, though. now i at least don't have to be shakey the rest of the day because …
