Thank you Mrs Spock, I will definitely try these podcasts.

As for stimulus checks. Its really hard to know someone else financial situation. I have said thru all of this we are blessed, but its not all simple. My husband lost his job of 40 yrs feb 1st. He had no job prospects. So we cashed out pensions to pay off autos and mortgage. Then he got another...

Mrs Spock, thank you for the encouragement and the hug...(((hug)))) back at you . I really appreciate all you share here. Im even feeling a bit better today.

Deanna Im sorry you are struggling with this too. "immobile" is a good word for what I was trying to describe. Do you think the worsening of funk is the accumulation of time? Im kind of thinking that. I haven't been able to do anything this weekend. The funk is just too deep.

This covid has really gotten to me. I guess 10 months is my breaking point. Oh Im sure I will muster up what I need to turn this mood around, but right now feeling kind of hopeless. My sister has cancer that has spread. She went to a week of chemo. The next week she was taken to the hospital...

Ghanging4Best-I had a rat in my basement last summer. Don't know how it got in. I used those sticky glue traps and caught it the first day. It was awful. My husband had to get it.

Changing4best-Did you catch your rat?

Woodsforthetree-I could have wrote your post almost word for word. You articulated it better than I may have. I do not have DID, have a masters, depression and anxiety, and dissociate. I find myself dissociating a lot. My husband will even wave at me from across the room. (I must appear in no...

I know from my past that exercise helps. I have not been exercising and its gotten worse, but it does work. Also, telling someone who is depressed to go and exercise can feel like your being told to do the impossible. The better exercise I got, the less pain I use to have. Now Im older and have...

The past few days it has been very hard for me to decompress. My husband has taken a huge interest in our political climate in the last year or so, and has the tv on national news whenever he doesn't have sports on. Im not a big football fan like it seems everyone else is. Anyway, I think its...

Im glad to hear that you are open to find the right match. Remember, you are hiring the therapist so its fine to make a list of questions for the first session. You have every right to be informed. You can ask about their training with trauma therapy, methods used, and a variety of other...

Silent000, so glad you found this site. I am really sorry for what you went through. As ladee said, there are many threads that Im sure you will find helpful. It is a great place for you to get support. I know first hand about the different styles of therapists and clearly you had one that was...

My cup runneth over. Today my sister with bladder cancer found out it spread to the liver. So she cannot have bladder removed. My backdoor friend that has lived there for 25 years is moving South in the morning. She is a really good friend that lives across the alley and we have been there for...

Recovery4Me-clearly it has been munching...lol. I also use deep breathing and attempts at meditation. I often look at pictures to elevate my mood and put things in perspective. Also, I have 2 dogs, a golden retriever and chocolate lab to love on and get some good love from. The big one thinks he...

Recovery4Me-omg I didn't get it til now. The joke is clear, my mind is dull.lol I have always been lucky to be thin so have never dieted. That is in part the my foods of choice are usually healthy ones. (I love a big salad) So I dont really have a plan yet. I dont know about my insurance but...

Recovery4Me-thank you for your comment. I hope it did not cause any body shaming. Yes, I really do need to loose this. I have gained a lot of weight in the past 3 yrs and belly is bigger than recommended. In part because I dont get a lot of exercise too. My husband is continually gaining as...

I have about 20 lbs to loose. My husband likes the meat and potatoes.....about to change. Its not good for me and its not good for him.

Would love a big salad right now. Had the traditional pork and sauerkraut .

Survivor and Deana-congrats to you both. It feels wonderful. Smoking never helped my stress (I finally realized). I hardly miss it. Cravings really do get less frequent and shorter duration. Hoping for a better 2021

Initially with the covid I was doing pretty good. (I wasn't missing as much as those without ptsd), some anyway. I saw people melting down over restrictions, closures, wearing masks, etc. I felt very grateful...still do but am having to remind myself several times a day now. The summer months...

My thoughts are trying to distract from the icky feelings I have been having. I seem to be having this gray cloud of doom over me as I try to keep my life as normal as I can during this pandemic. Its a generalized anxiety that never quite disappears as I see the numbers on tv and say prayers for...

I am search of a good shoe right now too. I have been ordering and returning because I can't really shop safely here. The cold and damp weather is making everything worse but this year seems even worse than usual. I am having so many headaches and neck/shoulder problems. I do have disc disease...

I have 2 sisters that are twins and are 11 yrs older than me. One I cut all ties with, the other, I have limited contact with, and no contact with her 2 adult daughters who are very toxic. Was a good choice. I have a daughter that is 44 that is unmedicated bi polar, a drug addict, a crisis...

I re-read as I thought I must have misunderstood something. Your smoking pot with a male friend does not cause bf to have ptsd. Even being cheated on (which you did not) would not cause ptsd. It sounds like your bf is very insecure about you having any friendships with males, which is not the...

I am grateful to be free from the everyday thoughts, particularly those that happened this day 12 years ago. I am grateful for the few wonderful people that I have in my life, for support and celebration. I am grateful for my daily comforts. I am grateful in knowing that my love for God is...
