    Things Can Get Better

    I am aware that everyone's situation is a different but I wanted to do a quick update. Things were spiraling downward when I first found the forum about 9 years ago. I won't go into it all, my old posts may be on here somewhere. So many things. Frequent hospitalizations, ECT, countless...

    Relationship Hope

    Well, been over 8 years since I found this forum. Discovered it when was doing a google search trying to understand dissociation that I was seeing. If there is anyone still here from 2009 perhaps they can validate that I had very little hope in 2009. So much has happened over those years...

    Omg! 5 Years On The Forum!

    Just noticed a notification that it was my 5th year anniversary here. Hard to believe really! It makes me reflect on how things have changed for me as well as my wife. Changed for the better. My Mom was just commenting yesterday that when she talks to my wife, it's like the problems several...

    Christmas Day

    This post is similar to previous years' but since there is always a change in people here so I want to repeat myself. One thing that I have become more acutely aware of since PTSD became a part of my (our) life is that not everyone has a happy, post card perfect Christmas. For so many reasons...

    Countdown To Christmas - Gift Exchange This Year?

    I am seeing Christmas merchandise in stores already! :eek: So it makes me wonder if there will be a Kris Kringle exchange this year. For those counting, only 114 days until Christmas! :p

    Dr. Freud's Therapy Ball

    One of my gifts in the Kris Kringle Exchange was a "Therapy Ball" You ask it a question, shake it and turn it upside down and the answer appears in a little triangle. But how can I keep this to myself? This is a gift to man-kind! LOL, or at least a gift to PTSDforum-kind! :roflmao...

    Random Acts Of Kindness

    I just read Srain's thread of someone helping and it came out of the blue. Have YOU done something like this? If so, let us know. Sometimes we get in a rut with all our problems and don't take credit for the little things we do for others. Tell us what you have done. Take credit and feel...

    General Codependency

    I know that there have been other threads, including a very concise one by Nicolette. But those of you with AOL may have seen this as one of the "articles" that rotate when you log in. I just thought I'd post as a reminder. After all, we all should probably re-evaluate ourselves from time to...

    News Of The Weird

    Ever see a news story and it is so bizarre you are left scratching your head? Or just respond automatically with WTF? Several weeks ago here in Ohio, a woman was arrested for assault after she exposed her breasts and tried to squirt a Police Officer with breast milk as an attempt to keep him...

    Members Come And Go

    I know that sometimes members decide to leave for various reasons and say goodbye. I really appreciate when they do. I have been preoccupied with a family thing for weeks, come back to participating here again and then realize some that used to be a real presence here are no longer around. I...

    General Prayers Please

    I have not posted details publicly but my daughter delivered my grandson 9 weeks preterm and he is very ill. He was transferred to the Children's Hospital here immediately after being stabilized. This was 3 days ago. I fear he is taking a turn for the worse. Sometimes medical knowledge is a...

    Didactic Therapy

    Hi, Supporter here! Anone with experience with the didactic approach? My wife was told that would be good for her. I have read a little and see it seems be used in addictions. Not exactly what matches for her although I guess it could be to change behaviour. Thanks! ISH

    Wishing Amethist Well Tomorrow

    I know that Amethist has mentioned her surgery elsewhere but after obtaining her permission, I thought it nice for us to wish her well as she has an outpatient procedure tomorrow. Hopefully home in the afternoon. We wish you well and a speedy recovery Amethist! ISH

    Concern For New Zealand Quake Victims

    Current Weather

    I know that there is a terribly huge cyclone in Australia. I hope all are safe. Here in the States, we have had a huge winter storm sweep across the central and eastern part of the country. Particularly bad in Chicago and I know we have members there. Stay safe everyone! ISH

    Your Thoughts On Birthday Greetings?

    OK, so I like seeing who has a birthday. I know it meant a lot to me when my birthday was noticed by my friends and I got some nice messages and even a simple "Happy Birthday" meant a lot to me. My question is, would YOU get freaked out with a Happy Birthday from someone, or many people, that...

    Funny Or Weird Christmas Gifts

    What is the funniest gift you have ever received? Or the strangest? Or most inappropriate? I will have to think of this myself but I do remember getting a mop! From my wife! I had been complaining about the old one (yes I use a mop in our house! Believe it or not!) So that was one of my...

    Halloween Costumes

    So I was joking about buying a dress in another thread and it made me think about a Halloween costume. I thought this would be fun to describe cute costumes you have seen OR PTSD related costumes you would LIKE to see, LOL. Me first. I had joked about this months ago. I used to work on an...

    My 1000th Post - What This Forum Means To Me!

    I have been here for about 15 months now. What better opportunity to voice my feelings about this forum than post #1000. Some of it will sound like a diary entry but it really is more a testimonial. Much of this I have said before, here and there, but want to share my thoughts. My role as a...

    Chat Anyone?

    :hello: OK, for those of us around before the upgrade, chat was fun as people came and went, allowing us to talk with others we may not talk with otherwise. Chat rooms are in the very bottom left corner, above the start menu in windows anyway. If there is not one open, you can start one and...

    Cancer

    I have not made a real big deal publicly about my recent prostate cancer diagnosis, treatment and surgery. It hasn't been a secret either so I thought the best way to get the word out is one message to all. I know I have mentioned it to some in chat, etc. And it IS good news. Everything is...
