In mythology and mainstream religion, a flash of light a thunder clap and a man falls dead. That was god at work. Who dares to take on the powers of a god? Who has such wisdom and knowledge?

Without being shot or shooting someone i love (or myself), i have had all the worst experiances with guns. As a cabbie, guns were periodically pointed at me. Once my cab was peppered with fire as i speed away. My exe had boarderline personality disorder, so the shotgun i bought to protect the...

Alone and forgotton. Me too. Not suicidal... I fasten my seatbelt and look both ways. But i am living with diabeties and it could all end quite suddenly. I'm okay with that. Keep running out of therapist sessions, so there is a learning curve when i get a new one. So what comes next? One...

So my symptoms are not that sever. If you can trust your therapist and your therapist knows your big traumas, assuming they are qualified, this should help speed healing. It is a bandage of fast or slow... Both hurt but one is faster. Or you could continue reagular therapy for a longer time...

I had EMDR about 4 years ago after i got all crisisy. The theripist introduced me to this therapy and suggested i read up on it and know all i could. Being some what clever and skeptical she thought it would reduce my fear and secondarily enhace trust and comradery which is needed for the majic...

I have found regular exercise to improve my mood and symptoms of major depressive disorder and ptsd. I am also diabetic. All my problems are lessened by working out. Except the one when i work out six months every day and gind myself painfully over trained...

So i am not sure why i was so mad at God, except thst i was raised by parents strong in the church. Mom also had rage issues, which could be where i learnd it. And they would tell me about all this next life stuff... We were at church 5 times a week. When i left for the service, i decided i...

Remember-men goto jail if they hit. Ever. No excuse including self defense will change that. - should zzzt

So sorry that happened. I can relate to most of the fears you shared... Kind of different cause i am physically able to defend myself. But the emotional judo has been used to good effect. The last one is still kicking my ass. And nobody belives me. My sister said she would have thrown me out...

Seeking information. I can't talk about it except in therapy. Oh, I have MDD & PTSD from a series of bad people, not all female and none realy sexual. Violence, neglect and verbal. But i am specificly victimised by women whom i trust. So does that go away, the utter lack of safety around a...

since we keep finding the same relationship over and over, the cycle is broken by not participating in a relationship.

Are men hush hush? Or is there just no interest in hearing? My experiance suggests the second.

I have been victimized in every major relationship in my life, stating with an abusive and unpleasant mother, a murder suicide attempt by exe number one, a key lie about fertility by baby moma number two who happened to be a lawyer and has beat me with our wonderful but unintended daughter ever...

I once told a housemate at a hostile/homeless shelter about my PTSD, I had just been diagnosed and was coming to understand it myself. This man surprised me and expected me to take him down reflexively. I had progressed a lot just at that moment in my therapy and had discovered the "pause"...

Um, I used to drive a cab and had daily dangerous encounters. It became normal. I stopped needing a day off after the bad ones... I adapted to an insane situation. No healing could occur until I got out of the insane situation. I understand you are where you need to be for various reasons, but...

I too have trouble meditating. The mindfullness thing is something I have been working with. It helps to make the exercises short for me. I was injured and needed to rehab at the gym daily for a while and got into a habit of going so still do. The mindfulness part is when i focus on the specific...

Pot. It is legal here and ptsd is a reasonable symptom for a permit. I am afraid of all therapeutic drugs and that frustrates the va. But suicidal ideations is not on the warning lable for pot. Mostly just evening bedtime & weekends.

I got a new job at which I have worked for 4 weeks and survived without a meltdown. Not even in traffic. Okay, once... and I am thankful it was only once. Or twice...

But when it was a medical device, i was happy and excited. Its that duck-rabbit optical illusion. Once you see the other, it's hard to see the first. And if i don't do it, somebody will. And i can see to the user safety either way. Being a rescuer maybe i can rationalize it that way. But the...

I got a job that is great and they value what i do. The commute is long at an hour each way. That is a sressor for me. But the big stressor is the product being developed is dual use. One use is very good and humanitarian. The other....not so much. I have been pretty determined to not build...

The job I took seed to be all humanitarian. Cool technology without screwing up my karma. Then I found they have a military application and now i am part of it. I have spent a lot of years avoiding any involvement with offensive military technology as an avoidance strategy, So it is a stressor...

Friday!! First day of work after 2 months unemployed! Good job, good environment, creative outlet for me, but by friday, i will need a weekend!

Yes. You see in the picture the first image, duck say. Then you learn there is a rabbit. You look for a long time and then it apears! Your preconcived idea of duck was hard to overcome. Like wise for people you have in your life. They are thus, then you fond out they vare about something that...

As ill advised as it is to i will dare tread lightly on this gender perspective thread. A nice looking friendly lady can generate unwanted atention for the lady. Particularly for the creeps and socialy inept male who can be a boss or customer. The unwanted attention triggers you. Not intentional...

I held my phone up to my dog, Flukey, and when he leand out to sniff it i snapped a picture. I loved flukey a lot but old age took him some years ago, but after the worst four months imaginable for a puppy, he found my son and me. I worked hard to de stress him. Hey was loyal to a fault and a...
