    I have been neglecting/avoiding some things for past several years. Even before ptsd symptoms, I was kind of ADD as a kid (which was likely cptsd). None the less, the way I succeeded at things was to be 100% organized. Like and energizer bunny, I always put things back where they went, stayed on...

    Rose White, I know its not always good advice to fake it til you make it, but it does actually work sometimes. Sometimes it just takes extra effort to put on a happy face, but in the end, as you said, have some real good moments.🥰

    Friday I totally agree, I even used half baby spinach to offset the kale. I guess the only soggy like salad I have ever liked is one my aunt made with warm bacon and the grease as well. So how is everyone feeling about Christmas that is quickly coming our way? I just cant get into it. I have...

    ms spock I am ok. FYI, that salad I mentioned above was horrible. If you see a recipe for apples and kale and candied pecans, pomegranate and carrots and other stuff. Dont do it, it was not good.

    Atheist unite!!

    enough, I would think there is enough people to have a group that feels like you do. I am agnostic at least...I know so many atheists and would think there would be enough people to form a group. I get really turned off by religion. Especially by those who look down at you as if you are going to...

    Thank you Tinyflame. It does make me wonder. Friday yes I know your right. I had pre op Friday morning and saw results after 3 pm. I called the nurse in pre op to ask about this, so I really dont have a lot of clarity . She said this may not show up on some X-rays depending on position of...

    Hearing experiences about other people’s depression

    I have fallen into the depression. My sister died in August. We had not spoke in 9 yrs and she abused another sister when she was dying of cancer. So, its not grieving any loss to be blatantly honest. However, both parents gone forever ago, and loosing 3 sisters in past 9 yrs, the realization...

    What Is On Your Mind Right This Second?

    A good friend of mine, friend of 50 years, had a massive heart attack and died almost 2 weeks ago. She has been pretty constantly on my mind ever since. Its almost as if she was expecting it. She chose this summer to travel to see her grandchildren and take them on all these adventures. She said...

    What Is On Your Mind Right This Second?

    Tinyflame, I dont think when you share that you are feeling hopeless, it makes others feel that way. Some days I am here to lean on. It doesn't bring me down, so Im guessing it doesn't bring others down. I feel bad for YOU that you are feeling that way. I dont think your thoughts are useless...

    Very depressed trying to find value

    Punky Im sorry your feeling so down. It is hard to find value when in that state. Even when not really down, I just lack enthusiasm for much and I understand when the mood lowers at all, everything is harder. You just lost your fur baby.....that has really put me in a low mood. Sounds like your...

    One Thing That Made You Smile Today?

    My 4 year old grandson had been on a boat today and asked his parents if they could get a boat-they told him know. When he got home, he said he wanted to call/facetime gigi and pap. He asked if was sunny here and if we were in the pool. Then he asked if pap pap has a boat and I said no. Then he...

    Navigating unwanted attention in public spaces

    I agree with Jade about holding your head high. Stand tall, shoulders back, and head high. Practice having confidence. Fake it til you make it. That being said, you dont know what they are thinking. You dont owe them anything, including attention or even politeness. If they think you are rude...

    My therapist says my fears and background don’t make sense?

    I dont entirely agree with your therapist. Something is causing you to feel that way. Some memories can never be retrieved but the body remembers. My ex husband believed that since we were married, he was entitled to sex, so if I said NO, he did it anyway. After 7 yrs and getting out of the...

    I feel lost and stuck at the same time

    I agree work is very important and does give us a sense of accomplishment and contributing to society. Im not sure what it means to you to be among people that are held to a higher standard. I do know a lot of people who have prioritized their work over everything else, become very successful...

    Atheist unite!!

    I am at least agnostic. Some days more atheist. I would love to believe that there is a heaven where my family and friends and pets are and they are all dancing with the angels until we meet again. I just dont buy it and the wars over religion..... Anyway, my 35 yr old daughter became mormon at...
