For someone 46 and getting their degree, I commend you highly on going back to school. I'm in community college but will transfer next quarter to a 4 year to finish out my degree in Criminal Justice-Homeland Security Intelligence and minor in Sociology/Political Science. You're never too old or...
She wouldn't believe the horror story I would tell her. I think that exposing such openness about harm is a bit distasteful but that's just me. I know she probably means well but she could set off terrible triggers for a lot of victims.
Forget it and let it go, huh? I would've told them to f*** themselves and experience what you've experienced. I don't put up with that kind of s***t. Forgive my language but anyone who tells me to get over things to me is a narc and a genuine a-hole.
To answer your question, no. Mine has gotten worse and it has me in a suicidal rage. I know I'm getting worse and I'm afraid to tell my doctor. I just want to flee the scene (take my stuff and leave Nebraska) but I don't have the money to. No one would help me anyway. He says (my husband) he...
I, too, have felt these feeling of inadequacy lately and cut myself again. I'm tired of just not feeling "normal" and whenever something happens good to me, someone destroys it by yelling at me or by something depressing that interrupts things. I have scars on my arms from where I've cut myself...
I made the Dean's List again and I got a 4.00 GPA. I am so stoked. I've worked hard in my college courses and I hope to go a Fusion Center when I'm done with Homeland Security.
This has helped my PTSD tremendously.
The situation here is getting to be unbearable. I need to leave however I don't have the money nor the place to stay. I don't want to leave my cats or my stuff her because I don't want him to sell it and give the money to his son. I just don't know what to do.
I have never felt so lost and here...
He defends her by saying, "I didn't hear her say that." Of course she never says this within earshot of him. That's her tactic. As far as his son goes, he seems to want to have a relationship with him but hasn't set the correct boundaries with him. Even though his son raped a 13 year old and...
Yes indeed. People who are narcs will use this against you. It's the worst thing to say to those who despise you and will aggravate your "ticks". I know of one person like that from my former job and she's mentally screwed up anyway. However, I think she's just evil. If you are not safe telling...
Where do I begin?
My mother in law is destroying her son and our marriage. Where do I begin? Where do I start?
In the beginning, I thought we had a great relationship although I noticed she was negative at everyone and everything around. She had a hard abusive life and apparently, she...
I will never get over 9/11. Just a few days before, my friends were shot and killed. Every time I think about 9/11, I think about all of those deaths that surrounded that time period. It makes me cry to this day.
ooooh boy......talk about a hot topic.
I don't know if you all know this already but I'm majoring in Criminal Justice-Homeland Security and minoring in Political Science-Communication and Analysis.

To answer the above post about Trump and Putin-it's my theory that the reason why there is...
My husband being able to say whatever he wants to until I start going back at him saying to quit complaining and being an ass. I wasn't being assertive. I was telling him to quit complaining and being a man.
You're an empath and start to have psychic (not psycho) visions...(I'm serious. People who have had trauma are empaths which makes us sensitive to what and who is around us. You can tell when someone lies to you, etc. I am a seer.)
First of all, congratulations on getting married. Let me see if I can help you or at least point you in the right direction.
I have CPTSD for a horrible life (in general). I have all of the things your fiance suffers from but I'm also on 5 different kinds of medication to stabilize me. When I'm...
Without reading everyone's posts, I'm going to say that there was no closure. You didn't face the person who hurt you and give "him" (I'm guess it's a him) the what for. I know when my biological father passes away, I will never have closure but that's not burden to face right now. There is a...
People here know and understand what you're going through, Mim. We're here for you. For a couple of months, all I did was sleep and sleep and didn't even enjoy life. I felt better just being away from everyone however I had to get a job and straighten myself out even if it meant falling out of...
Angelkeeper, don't worry. Your posting and everyone's postings were what got me through yesterday. I remember the call at 11:00 pm and I became numb. Tears ran down my face and I came completely focused on remember that phone call where my ex-husband said there were shootings.
I bled so many...
It's my assumption that he posted on this website because he has PTSD or she has it. Here is a website to back up my statement:
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder of Abandonment, Part I: An Overview
Unless they say they don't have PTSD, I'm assuming either one or both have it.
