A couple of things: When the bible says that God would make Adam a helpmeet, it is indicating that she would complete him. That concept is seen throughout the bible where it talks about the husband and wife becoming one flesh. It, in no way, indicates she would be some kind of a whore for him...

Seeing them in that situation may have caused you to have a flashback.

The Bible tells us we should be thankful in all things; not for all things. I don't think you should be thankful for what they did, but you can be thankful for some of the results, like being more empathic.

The turn out has been record numbers, and Trump is taking credit for that. I am not so sure that it is Trump's running that is bringing out the numbers, or if it is a backlash against Obama and the Democrats.

I can tell you that there are some good guys out there, and you cannot judge all of us by these two guys. I would like to offer some suggestions, but there is not enough information in the post for me to make an informed suggestion.

Ed my statement was not an endorsement of Trump, and again the general election may come down to who I will vote against. As for my life not changing as a result of this election; I disagree. The health of the economy directing affects my living. I live in an area that depends of tourism, and...

It is an interesting political season, and no one has stirred up things like Trump has. I think he has the potential to be one of our best presidents, or one of our worst presidents, but I don't think he will be an inbetween president. I cannot say that I have made an choice about who I will...

If you can afford it, buy one of those game trail cameras, and put it somewhere near the entrance to your building. If it is him, and you can get him on camera,that would go a long ways with the police.

first let me tell you that the probabilities of resuscitating someone outside of the hospital are very slim, so don't blame yourself for his passing. Watching your father die is a horrific experience, however the therapy, and time will help. Sorry for your loss.

At the risk of being the devil's advocate; are you assuming facts not in evidence? You did not see him, so you are going on the assumption that it was him. Now, having said that I would contact the police and share your history with them regarding this stalker. It might put him on their radar...

I don't blame myself for it because I recognize it as a part of my trauma, and PTSD. I guess I don't think it is as important to blame someone, the criticized or the critic, but rather how to find a solution to the underlying problem, our PTSD

Many times it is both. The person offers up a mild criticism, not intending it to mean anything other than a comment, but because we are hyper-sensitive about being criticized our mind blows it our of proportion.

I agree with the other posters on here, but there is one thing that stood out to me. You said that the also beat you with their shoes; isn't that some kind of serious insult in Pakistani culture? If so, I would add emotional abuse to the list.

Are there things on the forum that will trigger you? Yes, but the big difference between this forum, and other websites is, the understanding that goes with the triggering. We have all been there, and know what you are experiencing. So you can talk it out, find solace from the shared...

overreaction is a part of PTSD. Something inconsequential happens, and you blow up, or fall apart. It really stinks!

Two suggestions 1. When you start thinking about it; recognize that you are doing so, and intentionally decide to stop. You may have to use self-speak: telling your self that you need to stop. Or once you realize that you are doing it again, find something else to focus on. 2. Medications will...

Very good piece Anthony; do you think it would make a good sticky note?

When you do get a job I think you will feel better, and have a better sense about yourself.

This is interesting because it is so very true. However, in my case, I unconsciously chose to hide in plain sight. I was in the eighth grade when I finally broke from my trauma, and then it was in front of my entire class. I remember making the decision that they treated me bad because they...

It really depends on the user of the term. You described what is a panic attack to you, and that is your understanding. For someone else, it might be that sensation of anxiety that drives them to the precipice, just not over it. We do really try to give very broad understandings of things like...

In the last two weeks I have had situations come up that has created small triggers. They were both at work, and each time I started feeling numb. I am learning to recognize this as a trigger response, but I am not sure how to deal with it. It is so frustrating not being able to live and...

Are you seeing a counselor ? If not, then I would suggest finding a good trauma counselor and start getting treatment. You can get better, but it will take time. As for your molestor being dead: good.

Pain does not go anywhere. The only reason we have pain is because we are wounded, and the pain is a testimony to that wound. When we heal the pain ceases to exist. Pain is not some independent entity, but a function or our nerves, or in the case of emotional pain our soul. It is not something...

I can if I keep it in very general terms, but if I try to get specific, then it tends to trigger me.
