I dont really know. I think sometimes it goes along with the lack of sleep and the PTSD

The PTSD.. Have you talked to anyone about it?? Been diagnosed?? Are you on meds?? If so, do you take them regularly??

I was diagnosed when I was about 13. the meds dont help.

I don't want to know what happened to you to cause the PTSD.. But do you have someone who you can talk to about it?? A counselor... friend.. someone..

Depression is common with PTSD.. and the lack of sleep because of the dreams..

I dont really have anybody to talk to

You need to find someone to talk to about it.. You need to find a health care person.. a doctor.. someone to talk to about what happened to you.. perhaps to find the right med that will work for you.. I would think that there might be some anger issues for you to discuss..

It's not that simple to just talk to some random stranger I dont know about it. its hard enough to talk about it over the internet. I had some counseling before but I never liked talking to them or anything so it didnt do anything then I managed to convinced them I didnt have to go anymore so my school stopped making me see one.

I know it's not easy..

I have my own form of PTSD..

AS you can tell from my signature.. I am a Christian.. and I believe in the power of God & prayer..

If you ever want/need prayer.. just PM me..

Hi Seth, you might want to try a google search on PTSD and see if there is any forums or just plain good advice on the subject. You never know maybe someone will come along and be of a help to you on this thread, I hope so, alot of people with different experiences, God bless. If you find praying hard, how about religious pictures and a crucifix, having anything religious in your room, wouldn't hurt, anything that depicts and uplifting of the soul. Maybe a soothing tpye of music would help, I'm trying Seth!

I cant hear music that good.

I know about PTSD but I havent found any good advice at all at what to do when it gets bad. A couple of things but I tried and it didnt work.

and prayer never worked before, I doubt it would know. although I've tried.

Hi Seth, I suppose your going to have to take it one day at a time as you're doing and see what works for you. Some days might be better than other days on the subject. I hope you will find things that will be of help to you. Thanks for sharing , I hope others will be able to share some wisdom on the subject, God bless and prayers. I would think things that would uplift you might be of help, maybe a beautiful picture, an inspirational book or sayings, something positive, definitely can't hurt the soul, how much it will help your experiences I'm not sure but couldn't hurt, keep taking it one day at a time and don't get overloaded having to have a fix all right away, it might take time, as you discover this is a benefit, that is a benefit, etc. God bless.

I take it one day at a time and some days are better then others but other days it gets so bad I get really tempted to just shoot myself in the head.

its getting tiresome
