Throwing the lifeguards phone it the pool! I LOVE it! I think you and I must have similar personalities. My students are obsessed with their phones. The funny thing is they try to be all sneaky about it. But, as I tell them, when the lights are dimmed so that we can use the projector and I...

Been dealing with increasingly severe pain these past few weeks, all stemming from a steroid injection in my back which, despite what the doctor said, obviously went awry. I'm hoping it will calm down eventually, but I don't know. It has been a month now. Dealing with PTSD and a Chronic Pain...

I would think that how much, if any, a person cries is highly dependent on their own personality. I wouldn't think that you could quantify how much is "enough" crying. I was a cop. I don't cry. Ever. I have a hard enough time verbally expressing emotions in therapy, much less crying! It...

Okay, so at my last therapist visit she mentioned something called "Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder" with me. She said based on what she has observed and from what I have told her, I am probably living with a touch of that too. Yay me! Hutch

LOL!

It does. Thank you. And congrats on the grades. I was a history major and psych just wasn't my thing. Wish I had payed more attention to it.

Friends, My therapist told me this week that after the conversations that we've had she thinks I also have "Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder". It is sort of like OCD, but not quite the same thing. I don't really know much about it other than what I have read on the internet. I was...

Friends, Pardon the long absence. I had a steroid shot in my back and week ago Monday and suffered some MAJOR complications from it. It was so bad that I could barely walk for a week. Naturally it was over Spring Break, so that is how I spent my vacation! That is actually a good thing since...

@Ms Spock I agree Ms. Spock. Geordie showed me some of the website that he was working on (in his spare time!) and it was VERY good. Geordie, you are a talented guy!

I don't take a break, really. Maybe just a day or two. I spend the rest of the time planning out my lectures for the rest of the semester. (I change my classes up a little each semester and that is why I don't already have everything done.)

Me too. Glad you liked it.

Good job!

Haven't posted in a while. Been busy with work......which is good because it keeps my mind occupied. Anyway, for my 6th Anniversary I got a tattoo. (I already have one, so this is technically my second.) I am hoping that having it can help me fight both the PTSD demon and the Degenerative...

Welcome. I'm a now former police officer myself. Degenerative Disc Disease ended my career, but I have PTSD on top of it.

I know! It is an emotional roller coaster for sure. But I guess that is true to life. We all have our ups and downs, but the main character really has to deal with some heavy stuff! I just wish I could be as strong as he is.
