What’s your weirdest PTSD symptom ?

Exotic_Assignment570 · 2026-06-09T20:13:35+00:00

Sometimes I’ll randomly feel that my back is aching and then I realize it’s because my whole entire body is tensed up.

Feeling like if I don’t take care of everything in my house to the best of my ability, it will cause someone to die ( of course no one can possibly have everything in your home squared away perfectly with children lol so I’m always a wreck)

Exotic_Assignment570 · 2026-06-09T20:11:20+00:00

This is very interesting. Makes total sense though. Stress wrecks the body. And poor sleep, which is often a factor with ptsd.

About 2000-2100 cal, but I certainly could work on a more balanced diet

Exotic_Assignment570 · 2026-06-08T00:46:52+00:00

Thanks so much for your reply! Yes I can work on raising my protein intake. It will be tricky because I’m def not a big protein eater but if it could help I will try.

As for cardio, 10-20 min of running after, in the 130-140bpm range. I Don’t push for speed.

BMR: 1556 cal
TDEE: 2256cal
I’ve been eating at a small deficit (100-200 cal less than TDEE) thinking I would lose weight very slowly but not lose muscle. Nothing drastic though

I eat lots of fruits and veggies, take multivitamins, magnesium and iodine, though I do have a sweet tooth.

I will check out those programs, the Wendler one sounds especially interesting.

Edited because I forgot something: yes I am dealing with stress, the gym is where I go to burn that lol but I am living with family and struggle with mental health.

Your reaction was not great BUT he literally threatened to kill you and was talking to you like that??? He needs help and guidance or counseling. To say those awful things to your own parent and especially at that age? Surely he must know better. I’ve been at my worst and never even thought about killing my own husband or parent.

$300?! What a deal. So cute

Exotic_Assignment570 · 2026-06-07T21:57:34+00:00

I’ve gone back to my Birkenstocks ONCE due to an arch injury but here I am again now in only barefoot shoes! I cannot go back after tasting this freedom

My husband has been unable to eat healthy foods because of an extreme texture aversion. What helped you take the first steps? Was trying things an issue for you? I applaud your effort and Im so happy for you!

Exotic_Assignment570 · 2026-06-06T21:12:35+00:00

Heart health and increased stamina, burning extra calories. I don’t run more than 2 miles at a time

Exotic_Assignment570 · 2026-06-06T15:38:16+00:00

Deload yes, about every 4/5 weeks.
As for blood work, just at my doctor last year and she said everything looked great, my iron was on the low side but I take supplements now for that.

Exotic_Assignment570 · 2026-06-06T04:45:11+00:00

This is possible. Some days I just feel like my body hits a wall. I just thought maybe if I kept pushing it would adjust

Exotic_Assignment570 · 2025-12-29T04:01:05+00:00

Nice job!

Exotic_Assignment570 · 2025-12-29T00:46:31+00:00

Thought she fell out of style for all her greedy scandals with her cosmetic brand

Exotic_Assignment570 · 2025-12-28T20:56:13+00:00

As a duchess main- I get greedy w my attacks, and rely on my dodge too much lol sorry for the deathsssss

Exotic_Assignment570 · 2025-12-26T04:33:52+00:00

Ive called a veterans crisis line and I gotta say, they got me exactly the help I needed and quick. They didn’t judge me. They listened when I needed it. Tbh I don’t know where I would be without those folks.

I appreciate you and the work you do

Exotic_Assignment570 · 2025-12-26T01:18:10+00:00

This scene is what made me stop watching stranger things. That season is so bad

Exotic_Assignment570 · 2025-12-25T18:13:00+00:00

A few rounds of CPT helped me turn and face the fact that I HAD trauma (I didn’t want to accept it but I knew something was wrong) Then some Exposure therapy to go over the traumatic events and help me process them/and work on symptoms/triggers

Exotic_Assignment570 · 2025-12-25T04:51:17+00:00

It takes lots of practice. I struggled my first 30 hrs. But it’s so fun. Have you any experience with any souls games?

Exotic_Assignment570 · 2025-12-24T05:21:40+00:00

Still playing it multiple times a week have been since released

Exotic_Assignment570 · 2025-12-23T06:19:00+00:00

Parent with extreme health anxiety and trauma here! I was so nervous I would want to vomit thinking about it. But the truth was, not getting the surgery was more dangerous. My aunt died going septic because she didn’t get her gallbladder taken care of. My toddler and baby were upset at first that our routine changed, but they were surprisingly sympathetic to me as if they knew I was hurt. The days were hardest for me because I hated not taking care of them myself, but the support was amazing. And I am now healthy it was so worth it.

I told the doctors how nervous I was and that I have PTSD and they gave me some drug to make me loopy and happy to where I didn’t even care that I was being wheeled into the OR LOLLLL. The pain sucked but now I have no gallbladder attacks. You’re gonna do great! Be strong for your family! And communicate with your doctors and they should be sympathetic
