Anyone Else With PTSD?

Hi Everyone. I have read lately that there has been some success using MDMA (a chemical found in the party drug Ecstasy - don't take the actual drug!!) for PTSD and drug resistant depression. Do some research. For those of you who are suffering, perhaps this will be an answer?

Hi again Jim ..... have you ever kept a mood journal? I have done that several times and it's very interesting to see just how quickly my mood changes during the day. I give it from 1 to 5 for the AM, Noon, PM ..... it's very eye opening. That's how my doctor realized I had cyclothymia.

Abby, I do keep a daily record of my mood level, on the 1 to 10 scale. Actually, I write the average for the day, which has mostly been 6 to 6.5, but lately I've been down to 5. My previous therapist suggested that I write it in 100s, so I'd write that I was 610-650. I've concluded that 6 is my new 9. As I noted to someone, it's been so long since I felt happy that I've forgotten what it feels like. I think my last 9 day was quite awhile before 2002. I don't really remember.

That's not to say that I don't have peace, because I do have that in Christ.

Jim
