    Anyone Attend Local Support Group Meetings?

    No unfortunately because I know there are people out there with PTSD that could be friends and be there for one another. The closest group is in Omaha and that's a little too far away from me. I am considering making one for everyone to join, not just those who have it but for those whose family...

    News Did Anyone Read The Article In Today's New York Times?

    Forgive me, but I never read anything from The New York Times. They've been caught feigning articles, have a serious political viewsI don't like, and although I'm sure the story is intriguing, it doesn't even touch the surface of what we're all about. If it triggered someone, I would doubt I...

    Do You Ever View Your T As A Kind Of Parent?

    Sadly, I think that all therapists are full of sh&t and that's no lie. You cannot have the issue or pain taken away and dealing with it is bringing the pain up all over again. By reliving the pain, some people thinks that it helps but it cannot ERASE what happened unless you have amnesia. There...

    Ten, Twenty, Thirty - Words, For When Sentences Evade You

    Ten: worried about work and school, trying to get more money, tired, achy, fed up, debating, extremely moody and more fed up Twenty: screamy, bitchy, fed up with the bullsh*t perfection of my husband, being bossed around, needing to be alone, no more men Thirty; fart jokes, being sarcastic...

    Sufferer Hello!

    Most welcome to the Forum, sweetie! You are family here so make yourself at home, talk and get everything out, and let us know if you need anything. Heck, I need more yarn.

    Relationship Funeral And Now No Contact... Is He Done?

    Leave him be. There is nothing you can do if he's going to be playing "games" with texting. If he was that upset about his friend being killed, he would've reached out to you for comfort and love. However, been in this before, he sounds like he is taking his rage out on you while his hairdresser...

    How Does/did Your Ptsd Affect Your Career Choices?

    I took forensic psychology classes and yes, it hit home quite often because my family was in law enforcement. It was too close to my own situation to do however I changed to cyber security engineering.

    News Do You Believe We Have Free Will?

    Every time I hear the words Free Will I will quote the lyrics: There are those who think That life has nothing left to chance A host of holy horrors To direct our aimless dance A planet of playthings We dance on the strings of powers we cannot perceive The stars aren't aligned or the gods are...

    Harassment & Abuse - I Feel Helpless

    The best thing for you to do is to LAY LOW. When you tattle on someone, it makes you look like the idiot. What has happened is that, since you have PTSD, is that you can go to the EEOC and/or you could be a lawsuit waiting to happen. She needs to be very careful and I would write down a diary of...

    "On The Turning Away" On the turning away From the pale and downtrodden And the words they say Which we won't understand "Don't accept that what's happening Is just a case of others' suffering Or you'll find that you're joining in The turning away" It's a sin that somehow Light is changing to...

    Insanity And The Future

    First of all, congratulations on the weight loss (if it was meant to be). I dumped my whole family as they were toxic, narcissistic, physically and mentally abusive for YEARS!!! With the only strength I had, I told my former family that they were narcissistic and abusive p****s that need help...

    Mental Hospital

    Honey, yes. I've been in the hospital three times and there is NO SHAME in it. The doctors have misdiagnosed me for over 20 plus years and if they knew/asked about my abuse, they would've known.

    Harassment & Abuse - I Feel Helpless

    Here I come again with my instance and opinion. When I entered my former place called Hell, there was a woman there with a BS degree(pardon the pun) and she had the personality of a know-it-all and a complete ****. She was jealous of my experience with government but the Director and Co-Director...

    Other How Do You Heal When New Trauma Keeps Happening?

    Your story is absolutely HORRID! I had a stepson who went to prison for rape and he just got out on parole. To deal with an individual sociopath like your son, sadly, it seems you're going to have to have him committed to a place for the rest of his life. As far as your daughter goes, Dad needs...

    Just Fired This Week.

    Thank you JoeyLittle! You know with some employers, there are cliques and there are people who do not belong in the position they are in because they were never trained to do it. I've been in government over 13 years and never in my life have I seen such a terrible high school attitude in...

    Costochondritis And Panic Attacks

    Costochondritis (kos-toe-KHON-dri-tis) is an inflammation of the cartilage that connects a rib to the breastbone (sternum) — a junction known as the costosternal joint. Pain caused by costochondritis may mimic that of a heart attack or other heart conditions. Your doctor might refer to...

    Just Fired This Week.

    First of all, it's illegal to have a previous employer give you a terrible reference. If they do that, they could be in some very deep ****. I got fired on Friday and I'm glad because I don't have to deal with those ***holes ever again until I go to court. The grievance against the State is huge...

    Ptsd Bullies From Other Forums (lessons Learned)

    Erm......being a survivor of abuse until I was 42, I can understand what you're saying but they're behavior had nothing to do with cultural background and such. That statement made there is out of the picture. I would NEVER give anyone emotional abuse after what they've been through and I was...

    Ptsd Bullies From Other Forums (lessons Learned)

    Thank you Digger. I was not a stranger to this group, that's the weird thing but I see what you're saying. If he was having such horrible problems, don't you think that maybe he.....oh never mind. I'm tired, I'm upset, I had a nervous breakdown and I'm just upset myself. I've been triggered left...

    Ptsd Bullies From Other Forums (lessons Learned)

    Bell, let me answer your statement. I sent a PM stating that I am here with them and that we all share his pain. So that's not bullying, that's telling them that I'm being there for them. Bullying is from other people and apparently, this person was OFFENDED by my comment (why I have no clue)...
