Welcome. You’re among people who get it. We’ve all been there to some extent or another. Feel free to explore. You can find many responses to many questions here. It took a seasoned psychiatrist two years to find a combination of meds that worked for me. I still have to tweak it now and then. I...

I have multiple severe tramas over a long period of time. Though I am not diagnosed CPTSD, I believe I could be. I have a hard time opening up to people who don’t get it. I have been judged and rejected over and over. In my opinion people don’t know what they don’t know because they have never...

Morgana, Welcome to the forum. There are many people here who get it and want to come alongside you in your healing journey. It sometimes helps to research things that can help us, but when it starts to mess with me, I know that I exposed myself to too much information. As Arfi says “slow and...

Hi Punky I used to get frustrated and beat myself up when things don’t go the way I want them to. I see it in my son all the time. I have come tomorrow, but it’s OK to be disappointed in the moment, but we don’t want to stay there. It’s OK to take medication to keep ourselves stable. There’s...

I hear you. I am appreciating my current pastor and church who exist for the marginalized. My pastor came into the church disguised as a homeless person to see how people would treat him. Another time he engaged with a homeless person who spoke out in the service eventually calling him to the...

I’m very thankful to have this safe place where we can all share, away from social media, etc. We know what we know because of what we’ve been through. Others out there who haven’t been through it think we’re nuts if we share our opinions. I have also pulled away to a safe place where there are...

All of this coverup and corruption is triggering what I went through living with a corrupt police officer. Infuriating. But I am glad that it is starting to come out of the shadows now. Where it goes from here is anybody’s guess. Will the powerful remain evil in secret or will we all begin to...

Thank you Andrew for your dedication and knowledge of how to mitigate these issues. Really appreciate everything you do for us! Have a pleasant day. 💖

Thanks for sharing Freida. Hope all of this is helping you Muttly. It takes time to adapt to chronic care. We’re in this for the long haul, not just a sinus infection. My rheumatologist has been treating me for lupus and fibro, as well as osteoporosis and kidney disease that have resulted from...

I’ve been there. Completely helpless. Tried to take my life four times. My son is on the spectrum and has been suicidal nearly his entire life. The other day he made a comment about being a child porn star. Breaks my heart. His birth father became a pedophile unbeknownst to me. I discovered it...

Sorry to hear about how you have been abused by the system that’s supposed to be helping us. I understand completely. I went into a facility voluntarily to get help with PTSD. They didn’t even have PTSD arrested as a diagnosis. I didn’t know any of this until I got out. Even their patient care...

Parrotthepolly, Thank you for being so kind as you were correcting me. I appreciate that, because sometimes I put my foot in my mouth. I seem to not have a filter. Possible autism symptoms. I will take your advice and try to follow it. Thank you for sharing the probable cost in your current...

Muttly, thank you so very much for sharing your positives, your wins! Be sure to take time to celebrate them and cherish that you’re doing better. I will be praying that the insurance issue gets taken care of so that you can take care of your body the way it needs. I had to go through a few...

Thank you for sharing your positives. We all need to see when we’re doing well to give hope to those who are in a bad season. I’m recently in self-discovery to determine if I might qualify on the autism spectrum. I know that my son does, even though I was not able to get him diagnosed 10 years...
