Every time I see your photo I can't help but smile. One year when my children were little we all made paper snow flakes that we hung from the ceiling. We couldn't afford many decorations but that year we had a blizzard in the house, all snowflakes that only small children could make. Thank...

I made some fleece blankets for 2 of my grandkids for Christmas. The ladybug is for my grand-daughter and the dog is for my grandson. The dog pattern started out as a panda but I modified it a little to make it look like a border collie, his favourite dog.

My mug with the phrase "Keep Calm and Carry On" meant a lot to me the past couple of days. I had to just have clear fluids for 2 days prior to a medical procedure today. That mug was washed a lot, and used, and read. It was burned into my mind this morning while I waited at the hospital and I...

I am really sorry that you are where you are. Instead of trashing your wife why don't you take some responsibility for your own life and do something about finding a job or finding some help to get yourself a home. I know that is easier said than done but blaming everything on her does not...

@ISupportHer , those look like amazing gifts. I had to look up the kaleidoscope on the net and it looks so cool. Sorry you missed the opening.

@KP the nut Thank you, it's not very big but I have a small place. I put it up today just for the opening.

These are lovely gifts, I love the mug! I was going to buy that for myself a week ago but decided to be patient and wait until after Christmas. I love the calendar too, I always love to look at space pictures, they are so peaceful and beautiful. The DVD look like a good one too, I haven't seen...

Hi Eila, welcome to the forum. I want to say what everyone else has already mentioned, your feelings are valid. It was a terrifying situation you were in. It is good that you are looking for support and advice. There are things you can do to try and keep this from developing into PTSD...

I wish I had an answer for you, I hate when I have those sensations. Sometimes the only thing that works is for me is to say out loud "Yes I know you are there..., now go away." Sometimes that helps and sometimes I just have to let it run its course. For me, I fought against any of it for so...

I just finished watching The Day of the Doctor..., WOW, they really like to throw curve balls into the storyline. It was great! I have been watching a lot of the classic shows recently and now I get so many of the references in today's show. Today couldn't have been more perfect for the 50th...

@Abstract hugs are always welcome. I am glad she went to see a doctor but I haven't heard what the outcome was. I know from personal experience and from reading here, that a diagnosis is sometimes really hard to get. She is in for a long road to recovery no matter what it turns out to be.

I finally got to talk to her, she is going in to see a doctor this afternoon. She has been experiencing a lot of dissociation the past couple of weeks and thought she was going crazy. But it seems like she has accepted that she needs help and is glad that someone is taking her to see a doctor...

I know you are right. I have been writing this post all morning. I have been reading other threads and discovering some of my own advice to others that apply in this situation. It is easy to give advice, even good advice but it is so much harder to try and follow it. I will keep trying to...

I just had a discussion with my ex-husband's wife. She is worried about my daughter and what she has said has me worried too. She described PTSD that was probably triggered by a lot of stress my daughter has been under recently. I know telling you what has been happening and what happened in...

Finding out you have a hole in your boot when you step in a puddle of slush on your way to work. Work all day with a cold wet foot and then have to walk through the same slush to get home does not give you PTSD.

I have told several therapists about this site. They all liked the idea of the forum and like getting recommendations for good ones. They all thought it was good to have the support in between sessions especially since I have no other support system. I never told them my username and I don't...
