    What Do You Collect?

    I've found that most people "collect" something. For some, it's Teddy Bears, etc. My collection started innocently enough, back in the 80's. I was stoned, as usual, and was eating a bowl of Captain Crunch. The box said "Order Your VERY OWN CAPTAIN!" and I thought...why not? So, it was an excuse...

    What Movies Have You Seen Recently?

    I've been watching Showtime's "The BIG C", a series about a woman who finds out she has stage 4 cancer. The reason I mention it here is that, it's made me be more proactive in caring for myself so that I don't leave my children before I am ready to. For movies, I like oldies. "North to Alaska"...

    Ptsd Substance Abuse

    In this, for me, it has been a struggle. I'm still clean and am proud of that, but it has been a struggle. There have been many times since my trauma that I have wanted to escape, just for a little while...it's then that I lean heavily upon the tools I learned in NA. I had my 5000th day...

    I Should Probably Be Sleeping...

    Hello Erin, Welcome and I'm sorry you're here, well...sorry we're all here anyway. I understand how it is to be a busy mom while coping with PTSD. I also understand substance abuse and am just 3 days away from my 5000th day of recovery. Without the background I have in recovery and the...

    How Do I Become In Control Of My Emotions?

    Thank you to ALL who answered. I've hated that job for 23 years...it's always been the "golden handcuffs" for me. It's a family owned and operated service and repair business owned by my much older step brother and my wicked step sister in law...yes, you read that right, I am part of the family...

    How Do I Become In Control Of My Emotions?

    I cry at inappropriate times and at every emotional thought. It's gotten worse since my PTSD has been diagnosed. I can recall getting a bad work review and crying, or when I got in an auto accident...my initial response was to cry. An example: After my trauma started, I'd get written up for...

    Hoarding And Clutter

    De-Cluttering I know this issue. I've never been big on cleaning house. The dishes are done only because I have a dishwasher. The laundry gets washed, but never put away. My Mom hired me an Organizer. This woman charged $30 per hour and was well worth it. As Grama-Herc said Pick a corner, any...

    Applying For Disability?

    Disability I was placed on disability in November, last year, by my psychiatrist. I'm on "temporary" disability and I didn't "apply" at all. The doctor filled out the paperwork and put "depression" as my cause. I wasn't too happy about that, because of the so-called "social stigma" associated...
