    Pending Upgrade Coming

    I believe so. I would prefer that this forum and my facebook profile have no interaction at all, and as long as it can't happen without my explicit consent then there's no issue here.

    News Abused Children Appear Likely To Have Mental Disorders As Young Adults

    To a lot of people, this is like saying "college basketball players are likely to be tall." It would seem obvious. http://www.physorg.com/news197544899.html However, this is the first good study I've come across on the matter.

    DSM V - 2012 - PTSD Will Change Faces

    Shades of Gray Anthony, I've always felt that you set the bar higher than I do for a PTSD diagnosis. I think there are shades of gray under that bar that deserve attention and treatment. Maybe they don't suffer as much as some of the people on this forum, but we can probably agree that...

    Can You Get PTSD From Bullying?

    OK I tried to read most of this, but I was short on time so this point may already have been brought up. Bullying occurs not just during childhood, but during adulthood as well, often times in the workplace. The bullying is often intended to push the target into an isolated and defenseless...

    100,000 Post Party

    Couldn't help but notice that over 7.5% of those posts came from Anthony. If anything this party should be held in his honor for the incredible amount of effort, time, and money he put into this place! :occasion:

    I Deserve To Be Treated With Respect And Dignity

    I finally got here too! It's such a wonderful feeling, to not blame myself for someone else's shortcomings. And a shock, to suddenly see them for what they really are.

    Feel I Don't Deserve Help

    "What separates those who achieve from those who do not, is in direct proportion to one's ability to ask for help" ~Donald Keo, former President of Coca-Cola Probably not what you were looking for, but I tried to look at healing as a challenge, or an obstacle to overcome, rather than something...

    Poll Who Traumatized You

    If you're feeling left out you can participate in part II or III of this poll: http://www.ptsdforum.org/thread6907.html http://www.ptsdforum.org/thread6983.html I think at least one of them allows for more than 1 box to be checked. Otherwise don't worry about this one, I don't think I designed...

    Having a Problem with Needing Help

    Freya, I made a video about this 2 years ago. It's about overcoming the stigma of your condition in order to get help: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRCjbErea0w I'm going to draw a relationship between your feeling of being abnormal to the stigma of your condition. To me their the same...

    Poll Have You Ever Suffered Bias Due To Your PTSD Condition?

    One of my favorite quotes: "Mental illness is nothing to be ashamed of, but stigma and bias shame us all." ~Bill Clinton A few hours ago I was with a new group of friends, and was asked how I knew a statistic about domestic violence. I didn't tell them how I knew, because they sounded awfully...

    PTSD Metaphors - Improving Communication & Understanding

    I'm searching for metaphors about the PTSD experience, any contributions or ideas are appreciated! The idea here is to find a way to better articulate PTSD to those who may not fully understand it. For example: "Telling a person with PTSD to 'get over it' is kind of like trying to heal a...

    PTSD and Housemates - Do You Find It Difficult Too?

    Lisa I had a terrible time with half my roommates in college, believe me you are not alone. My last 3 years some of my relatives began calling me a vagabond, because I moved two to three times per year. It was always best when I lived alone. My last year I thought I had finally got it right...

    I haven't been active on here in a while, wonder if anyone still remembers me :think: I miss you guys. I must say life's been interesting and rewarding these last nine months or so, but not without its challenges. My new job fell victim to the economy in December, but it couldn't have been...

    On Break from Forum

    Well, things are picking up again. I'm getting settled and busy in the new job, started working out again, meeting up with old friends. Symptoms are still there but significantly less than a few months ago, in part due to this forum along with other steps I've taken. Don't imagine I'll be...
