LOL!!!

LOL! I've never heard that one before! Back when I was working in customer service a guy who was not entirely sober accused us of helping the FBI spy on him. Whaaat??????? Strangely enough even after that he stayed a repeat customer.

Thanks for sharing!

I didn't know about any of this and would like to learn more. I assume that anyone who has had ptsd for long enough will struggle with some of this too? If anyone can cite resources where I can learn more I would appreciate that. Thanks

Wow, that's really serious. I know you don't want to move so soon but it's probably the safest thing to do if the landlord doesn't kick him out. Otherwise, I suggest putting a security camera in your room and one that would catch someone peeping in the window. If you can get some proof you could...

It's possible that was all from the ptsd but that makes me worry that maybe you are getting sleep apnea or reflux or something similar and your brain is interpreting it through past trauma. You might want to get checked out to make sure there's not a physical issue with breathing when you sleep.

Someone in one of my classes mentioned this website and it made me think of this thread: https://www.careeronestop.org/

You do a really good job of articulating your feelings and experiences in writing. If they don't give you a chance to get your words out in person you might want to try using writing to get through to them.

You might also want to check online for lists of which colleges have the best return on investment and which certifications pay the best if you haven't already done that.

I'm not sure either. That sounds great if you could get work and school experience at the same time!

I'm not really sure how much the government loan system takes credit score into account. They may ask you to get someone to cosign but I don't know. Also, I wonder if there are organizations that give loans or grants for the specific field you're in. Sometimes there are ones that specialize in a...

I would suggest you google fafsa (free application for federal student aid). I'm your age and in school right now. I get tuition from the school and living expenses from federal student loans. Most schools offer scholarships but you have to get through the school application process to see if...

Welcome Kittenn! I'm glad to hear you've already made an appointment. Getting a diagnosis really helped me.

I used to hide it from everyone before I even knew what it was. Now my symptoms are so bad I can't hide it from anyone any more.

Thanks! I got a follow up email today. I guess we don't have a chapter at our school yet and they were getting a sense of if they had enough interest. I hope they will start one here before I graduate!

I just got an email about this and was wondering if anyone else had heard about it and what your experiences were: Delta Alpha Pi, an academic honor society which recognizes high-achieving students (undergraduate and graduate) with disabilities. Apparently my school is starting a chapter. If...

So true! I hope you have good support from a good church. That can help so much.

Maybe with good group therapy stuff can start to change. In my experience that was very helpful. It gives you a sense of community in person at the same time as therapy.

I remember a lot but also wish I could remember more. I have found that when I feel safe and secure in my life (financially, socially, etc) I remember more without trying. That's how I started to recover memories in the first place. When I'm aggravated and trying to make myself remember more it...

Interesting that you mention traumatic brain injury. I had multiple instances of severe head trauma from child abuse that I've never had medical care for. I figured since it was decades ago that there's no point in seeing a doctor about it now but I guess this could be related. I should probably...

Ok, so this is a new one for me. I've had sleep disturbances such as insomnia, sleep walking, and sleep paralysis before but I've never had this before. Does anyone know what this is? I had been sleeping for a while. I woke up half way and was in that kind of half asleep state. My cats as usual...

Have you registered with your school disability services? They can help you with accommodations if this starts to interfere with your school work. Don't just keep pushing without self care or eventually it will make you burn out and affect your school work even worse. Also, like Hodge said, your...

I'm a student also. What career are you going to school for? Is it one where they would accept a foreign degree? You might want to research online schools in other countries that would accept you without you moving. You might also want to consider looking into scholarships for schools in...

Hi Eve, we are here for you. :hug:

Thanks for your reply! That's a lot of good advice! I'm sorry to hear you've been through so much but glad to hear you've found what you want to do. Sounds like you found a good way to work your primary passion into what you do. I am also hoping to do that. I went to law school for a stable...
