I know how terrifying it can be when the fear lingers. We can let our memories take control of us or we can take control of them. Im not going to lie to you it might take years. But in time most of us learn that what seems like a disadvantage can be used as strength. Everyone else doesn't...

A sunny gray day is becoming common. Wondering if we need to choose between data centers or blue skies. I miss the smell of blue skies. Didn't smell anything it was just air.

Could definitely have been longer seems to not really address marijuana use in the proper context. I don't use marijuana before or while working and I wouldn't recommend that someone does. It's more something to look forward to after work. To decompress and relax. It doesn't help to forget...

Your only a failure when you stop trying. Sounds like your not given in. Keep your head on the horizon. The world around us wont always be friendly. Looking to the past is always painful. Either of happy memories we miss or bad memories we don't want. Looking forward can be what we want it...

True I don't have a mortgage anymore but I still work. It's ok to ask questions to the homeless. Probably why those people you talked to cryed. Most people don't give us the time of the day. Just dirty looks and rude comments. Being approached as a human is a reminder we all need sometimes...

I'm sorry your ex sounds like a piece of shit. Kinda why I've avoided relationships for years. People who don't know trauma cant live with it. I'm sorry you had to deal with that for so long. In my past attempts at relationships were me constantly trying to not let them know about my...

I've searched for peace a long time I think it can only come from serenity. We need to surrender to peace otherwise our subconscious isnt gonna let us have it. That being said I smoke some hash and listen to some music. I'm normally a rock guy but when it comes to extreme stress words don't...

You came to right place to vent those frustrations. I think a lot of the people here also break down frequently. I know I sure do. It can be nearly impossible to talk to someone about trauma when they haven't experienced it for themselves. A.I. hasn't even experienced breathing before so...

I'm sorry your family hasn't been emotionally supportive of your transition through your trauma. It can be hard enough to even have the conversation with family let alone them denying it ever happened. I can't speak for your family. But they may not want to believe it. More than them not...

I'd like to live on some landscape so remote and undesirable that rich people don't bother with it. Listening to nothing but nature and my foot steps.

Are you lost in thought when this happens? I zone out into my work sometimes and have a sort of out of body experience. Is that what your talking about? Lost in thought and on autopilot. If so yes I think that is normal for folks with trauma. I don't see as losing your mind. More like...

Your clearly more cautious now. So you are far safer than before. That fear is gonna make you naturally more paranoid of reacurance. The fear will keep you safe to take the next step. Using that fear to keep you safe will make you strong. Don't let fear make you feel weak. Believe in...

Good luck I hope the group helps. Being around folks who are going through the same type of pain can be very helpful.

Honestly I think Autism is just a way that people who follow the crowd make themselves feel better. Than us who make our own path. Autism isn't a problem. People saying it is, that's the problem. In a different era people would just say they are a free spirit. Now they say they are...

Great post ecdysis. I totally rely on music, TV shows and movies to help me not think about everything else. When we can't fix something at least we can distract ourselves for a little while. If it weren't for comedy's I don't think I would smile. Life sucks the least we can do is enjoy...
