    Memory Loss & Missed Opportunities

    I read that people with ptsd will have extended periods of time with no energy. This has most often happened to me when one of my abusive ex's was around and they tried to set off my symptoms. By that, I mean they would use my ptsd against, or worse, use the stories of previous ex's as a...

    Memory Loss & Missed Opportunities

Not allowing your son to watch the ceremony prior...

Around this time, I had lost a job due to reporting coworkers who were deliberately setting off my cptsd at work (ex. slamming...
