The first place to start would be in introductions; start a thread introducing yourself. You can tell us a little of your history, but also tell us some things you enjoy. Then take a little time to read some of the threads that are of interest to you. It will give you a feel of how others post...

Maybe this will be a way to force those countries to become pro-active in stopping terrorism.

This we are not sure about yet. Yes it is true that he was born in Tunisia, but I have not yet seen where is says how long he has been in France. It seems that he was just recently radicalized. ISIS is claiming responsibility, but as of the latest news, that has not been confirmed.

My biggest concern with this situation is the farther destabilization of the region. The last thing we need is another country over there falling into radical Islamic ideology.

It is obvious that we will not come up with a solution here on the forum, but we can agree that we must stand with the families that are grieving the loss of their loved ones, and some how we have to come up with a solution to the horrific acts of violence being done by a minority of Muslims.

I am not so sure that it is immaturity as much as it is self centeredness, at least here in America. It just seems that there is so much more of the me first mentality.

I agree that a temporary ban of immigration from countries with terrorist ties would be relevant. Until we have a way to vet the immigrants, then we do not know if they are a peace loving muslim, or a member of isis, or another terrorist group. Jimmy Carter imposed a ban on immigtation for Iran...

My post was in direct response to your comment about a conspiracy, therefore on topic.

I am sorry I completely disagree with you on this. I am not a Trump supporter, but Hilary is no cup of tea either. You call it a conspiracy? Here are some facts. Hilary did in fact violate the law. I have not heard a single lawyer or Judge that knows the law state otherwise. She did, in fact...

Islam is a religion. Isis is a group, a political / religious cult terrorist group. It would be similar to comparing Christianity to the Jim Jones group. Where Christianity is the religion, the Jim Jones group is a group that took the scriptures and perverted them for their own goals. Their...

First let me say that I absolutely abhor what the Westboro group does, and I consider their actions very un-Christian like. So do not take my following comments as a defense of them. The Westboro group is not a terrorist group. What they are is a group of people that have an almost cult-like...

forgiveness and PTSD are two different animals. Forgiveness is spiritual if you will, where PTSD is physiological as well as mental. Forgiving someone is good for your heart, it can remove any bitterness or hatred, but it doesn't mean you will no longer have PTSD. PTSD is a prison, but you can...

Here is the reality that people need to know: There is never any excuse for someone to beat their spouse, none!

I would think the negatives outweigh the positives with one exception which I will address in a minute. I think, for me, the biggest negative is the potential of compounding the PTSD by additional exposure to danger. Also, as you stated, would you be able to function in a combat situation? If...

The criteria for PTSD does not give a minimum you must suffer before you can have PTSD. You said that you did not think you were abused enough. For some people all it takes is once. So, having a PTSD is not something to feel weak, or ashamed about. It is a disorder that happens when humans, and...

I would say that this represents a gross minority of the people here in the United States. We are a country of more than 300 Million people. Most of us work, play, and pray together regardless of race, gender, ethnicity or any of dividing lines. Unfortunately there is this minority that refuses...

The difference between the people who say they do not let the memories bother them, or affect their well-being, and us, is PTSD. Something in us broke. They do not understand how we are affected by the memories. It would be nice to say the memories don't affect our well-being, but the reality is...

I personally like a blending of the two. I enjoy reading historical fiction that is a story wrapped around historical fact. Or a fiction book that is based on actual science. I read to escape period. I love to read fiction, but I also really enjoy non-fiction when it is a subject matter that I...

Personally I would contact a lawyer. Your Psych. is a medical doctor, and should have recognized the medical emergency.

No I don't but I think there are a lot of people here on the forum that receive disability for PTSD. If you do a search on the forum you will most likely find a lot of threads that deal with it. Otherwise you can start a thread in discussion asking others about it.

Yes I live in small town Northern Michigan, so I understand.

I would talk with your PCP, and tell them what happened. Maybe they can refer you to another Psych who will treat you better.

I may not see him for a few days, but when I do, I will ask him.

I have a friend that really enjoys model trains. I will ask him about any good hobbyist clubs that are on line that might help you get started again.

The part of Pretty Woman I always think about in terms of this discussion, is where he growls
