    The Black Hole of Christmas

    Cool. I'm glad that worked for you. I haven't done very well in support groups. Sigh. I've tried. I'm just so different, it has never been possible to fit into anywhere.

    How did you make December therapy month when all the therapists are on vacation in December?

    The Black Hole of Christmas

    Some people don't have the same need to be heard. At least it's not an all-consuming need. Maybe it's about whether PTSD comes from childhood or later in life? Or whether part of the trauma involved gaslighting. I was told soooo many times that no one would ever believe me. When people today...

    The Black Hole of Christmas

    I would totally do that, and have in the past, but there is literally no place to volunteer that I can get to, and I don't have a car. The best I can do is bake cookies and give them to anyone I can think of who might enjoy them, but I'm already doing that.

    The Black Hole of Christmas

    Hi everyone. I had written a long post with this same title, then came back to check whether anyone had commented, and it looks like my post wasn't posted. Sigh. Not what you want when reaching out from a desperate, severely depressed place. I'm seeing whether this one posts before attempting to...

    The Black Hole of Christmas

    Hello fellow travellers. I decided to sign up looking for some support. I won't tell much of my story just now. It's long, complicated, and quite bizzarre, and honestly if I were to go into much detail I would be immediately recognizeable, so I choose discretion. What's in focus for me right...
