I have had cPTSD for decades, and about 13 years ago a psychiatrist in a DD unit tried to tell me I was bipolar in addition to my PTSD, depression, and drug addiction at the time. I have long gotten over the drug addiction, and frankly, had I observed my own behavior in that hospital, I would...

Thanks. My best guess is that the authorities would have become involved, she would convince them I was lying, and then, eventually, when the time was right, she would probably have killed me, but in such a way as to draw suspicion from herself. In the end, I think she would have ended up in...

I didn't. For 40 years. Not a soul, including my long-time husband. Even in the throes of horrific PTSD flashbacks, I still denied it. I cried a lot, careful still, even to this day, not to make a sound. I can't tell you why. I'm not even sure I want to know why. My paternal grandfather...

When that day came for my Izzy-girl, a german shepherd, we both knew. There was never any formal diagnosis, but I'm sure she had cancer. She was also deaf and plagued with ear problems and arthritic. We were both exhausted from her suffering...and mine. She sat patiently for hours while I cried...

I find that smudging helps alleviate some of my anxiety. I moved into this place last summer and over time, I have come to notice various signs of violence throughout the house, so I got out my smudging kit. The main difference is that now (after I began smudging the place regularly) the damaged...

I finally did and I don't - regret it that is! LOL! Actually, if I'm not mistaken, I saw her recently doing carpool karaoke with James Corden. I'm assuming Maddie is the little karate girl? Tell me more. :D

My T gave me a smudging kit a couple of years ago. I am not native american, so I don't pretend to know what I'm talking about, but she taught me how to use it. First I get naked - my personal preference since I use the sage to cleanse my body first. Seems to me I should cleanse my damaged body...

Oh good! I hate it! I'm too broke buying Abilify to shop anymore! :roflmao:

thanks for the warning about the glucose. It's been a month so far and I'm doing well on it. I have this overwhelming urge to shop all the time, tho. what's up with THAT???

Okay, between you and lemurlibs91 my curiosity is now up about Sia...I'm off to youtube...lol!

I bet mine is worse. lol

I am so lucky because I married the one man who has always made me feel safe. My first clue was when my abuser nearly choked to death when she found out I was marrying him. She threw one hell of a tantrum. That was all I needed to know I was doing the right thing. Abuser is scared to death of...

Of all the things we deal with, dreams are some of the worst, I think. I'm sorry he was so cruel to you. No one deserves that and I am happy that you survived it. You're one tough gal. I think we humans often wonder 'what if....' - I had a guy like that. His name is Phillip (same as my dad's, I...
