I have to tell you, I'm the type of patient doctors hate to deal with. I don't keep track of anything so when asked about symptoms or how I've been feeling, I generally just say one or two things of whatever is most bothersome or apparent to me and forget about the rest. or even worse, I assume that because nothing comes to mind everything's been fine. But I've been on the site only a few days and already I'm able to see trends in my behavior I wasn't seeing before. I already feel more in control and capable of managing my symptoms. The journal entry is my favorite feature because I'm an english major. I love to write and especially to write about how the every day affects my PTSD and panic disorder, but I'm always afraid my boyfriend or someone else will open up my notebook or my laptop's files and find something I don't want them to see. With this site, I don't have to worry about that anymore. I won't bore you by going on and on but I just wanted to say, thanks a bunch. I know it sounds dramatic but the site's really made me feel more in control of myself and my conditions, and can you believe it, a little more sane too!
