Update: (Forgive me for laughing about this) I sent a YOU NOOB (You Tube) video to him regarding "What is a Narcissist" or some kind of video because I wanted to know what damage he's done. It wasn't rude but with narcs, I wanted him to see the damage he's done and hopefully would've seen what...

Let me say this: Thank you ALL for your responses in this. This conversation struck up MANY conversations and well, yeah, I just found out my brother is a narc on the same lines as his ex-brother in law which he still has contact with. Yeah, I guess I'm still mad and I wanted to be the better...

I sent my brother a message to say, "I forgive you" to set myself free. Good idea, right? WRONG Joel: Heather I love and I do care about you. What I said to you was not wrong, but my going on FB and saying it was. I should have discussed it with you. That is what my brother stated. Well, duh...

Shero, there is a better future for yourself if you love yourself. You've been abused and suffered a grievous wrong through the actions of others. We take it out on ourselves and yes, there are times when we can't process and everything is difficult. However, let you FEEL this and see if you can...

I will be going through a series of...oh what is the name of it..EMPT or something antonym-ish where they want me to go under hypnosis and relive the issues I'm going through. UGH! I can see this going to be HELL however, it it makes me better, ....they better make sure that I don't get violent.

Honey, I too am filing for disability. Boy it is going to be a doozy!!

Honey, I've been there myself....oh Lord, have I been there!!!! Higher ups in the office play people against each other (aka politics and their immense amounts of narcissistic bullshit) which makes you second guess yourself. Trust is a double edged sword (or knife) and when you have PTSD/CPTSD...

I went back into the hospital three weeks ago for a week because I had a nervous breakdown, UH-GIN. My husband and I were fighting about money and I had it.I couldn't keep a job and for the third time it was *low job performance* while on one of the jobs they permanently disabled my thumb from...

Ever since I was fired from the State where I live, I've had to go to temp agencies to get a job to try to support myself. These were very low paying jobs but I took them anyway. I have 14 years of government experience under my belt but that went out the window. Today, I was "let go" of my job...

....you can't keep a job down and you realized that your only option is disability.

Right now, I FEEL angry at myself for my stupid decision in becoming friends with Steve and pissed off at him because, at 52, he's not a Viagra spokesperson. I thought he was better than to fall for tramps and loose women. Now I'm falling apart....God, I'm pissed!

If ANYONE states to a PTSD sufferer that their trauma was "not that bad", take them off the planet NOW! Worse yet, let me have a discussion with them....

Nothing anyone experiences is less or more intense. It's just all intense by your personal nature of the "crime". I will be fine and after hearing about my goddaughter's assault, I realized that my family (my best friends and close inner circle AND here) are most important to me. What...

Bless you Sammy! This was no surprise though. I'm going to be okay no matter what because I see what he is now instead of later. Hugs and love!

Ever since I was a little girl, I was different. It was pointed out to me by my "new age" PTSD counsellor that I'm a Pleiades child (news to me however it could make sense). My aura is uber strong and, even though I get along quite well with people, I can be..what's the word...well, let's just...

Still_I_Rise, honey, I've had exes that did the same to me in justifying their outrageous behavior. About him being narcissistic, I don't know about that however, that's not the point. The point is that he lied, he cheated, he defended HER honor, and he's ill while you're the one holding up the...

Being a member in this forum helps me not only help myself but use my calling of charity work to help those who have suffered damage beyond damage. Everyone's suffering. Everyone has different degrees of suffering that can't be compared to others' sufferings. We are all suffering-end of line...

No topics are taboo at all. I'm just worried that if someone speaks up about their experiences, it will trigger them. For those who are ABLE to discuss their traumatic experiences without triggering, please do so if you wish. I'm also sending this paper to the White House, to Psychology Today...

This breaks my heart because I'm there with you. I was never good enough by anyone's standards and had to lower expectations and lower my morals just to "fit in". I was the fat girl in the corner of the room. Everyone LOVED the skinny charismatic friends I had but of course, I was nothing worth...

Bingo. Most family brush the issue under the carpet as if it never happened because "something like this NEVER happens in MY family. Families are well known for their blinders on/blinders off approach in difficult situations.

My last and final essay is about PTSD, a subject I, unfortunately, know well. The title of my essay will be: WHY PTSD ISN'T JUST A MILITARY DISABILITY Now for those of you who are in the military or spouses/loved ones in the military, this is not an insult or anything bad upon you all AT ALL...

I am having constant diarrhea and can't eat anything fried or processed. I'm stressed out too much.

Honey, if I were with you, I'd hug you so tight and let you cry. My parents did the same thing to me when it came to abuse and they got angry with me because THEY didn't want to hear it or they refused to deal with the issue. It's NOT YOU! They have an issue with what happened and the guilt...

1) What is PTSD? Isn't that a military DISEASE? 2) How can you get PTSD if you weren't in the military? 3) (everyone avoids you like you're a psycho, silence and scary stares at you during this time) 4) PTSD is like fibromyalgia and isn't real. 5) Does having PTSD mean I have to worry about you...
