    So I suffer from PTSD since age of 21or smt, now I am 36 and still struggling with it. There have been periods when I been free from it but recently it has come back probably since I live without any addictions, stamping out both Porn and masturbation but also Gambling (7+ plus weeks free). I have no escape vault left. So now I am going for a total mental healing from this for good, very important goal I set för myself.

    If you have prolonged problems with this syndrome (say 1 year minimum) you could contact me through PM or post here and we can exchange ideas.

    I recently started to do some TRE (trauma release exercises) exercises and sessions and I have been more relaxed both physically and mentally and get some shivers, but nothing dramatically different yet, but I will do this regularly along with 4-5 gym sessions a week and daily prayers and meditation.

    I also suffer PTSD form my early 20s and deal with P addiction. I have been doing better than I thought I would and my girlfriend of 15 years helps me tremendously. The PTSD is usually under control I think but don't always notice its effects.

    Studies are showing MDMA works as a cure for many people.

    Have heard Jordan Peterson talk about the disorder, and has dealt with people that have it. He's a very smart guy and would hear what he has to say about it.

    Man..right now I am in a teribble state...constant flashbacks. I was terribly bullied as a kid but not so much physically as verbally and emotionally. It never goes away! the hurt, the humiliation the ange,repressed anger. Right now it steems out of a time, just 6 months I spent at some youth holiday resort where the two men in charge of the whole thing was such fucking assholes I can hardly even believe it yet today soon 20 years past. One of them really hated me and his low impulse control and contemptful personality made it show in each and every way - oozing with contempt against me, belittling me, verbal abuse and his co-partner also got a kick out of this behaviour, they were so goddamn awful to me it is unbelieveable, that kind of misuse of power is so disgusting to see. I wish these memories could be stopped but it haunts me like cancer that never goes away..Help!

    If I had the chance and opportunity to get either one of these assholes Isure would, just blow their fucking brains out, halleluja amen! That is how I feel about it. Just my two cents.

    What do you think is bringing this up right now? it sure doesn't sound easy to go through.

    Quitting P will certainly remove the numbness from underlying issues. But: good news is that's when real healing can begin instead of festering character decay.

    Negative thoughts like revenge are something I eschew. Acknowledge and move on. It would NEVER help you. Hopefully you understand and agree. Quite the opposite. In all religions reverencing God, and many with less central themes, forgiveness is a major teaching. This truth supersedes all life in history and all cultures. Forgive.

    Yes, it can feel like being wronged twice. Understandable. Carrying the burden, though, that's the REAL second wronging... that is continually harming you. Drop it. Forgive. Think happy thoughts. This is not "easy"! But, it is the path to true healing and peace.

    Sometimes, acknowledging something like a personal condition that makes dealing with the ptsd will he helpful. For example, someone with Asperger's Syndrome will have a hard time letting anything go, and often perceive more slight from a situation than is really there. On the other side of the spectrum, so will one with an over-emphasized empathy disorder. Acknowledge the wrong that is done, but don't carry it with you. Leave it in the past and stop letting it have power over you.

    Not easy. Never said that. No one would say that. But, it is easier than living the rest of your life in the victimized state!
