Honestly it sounds like your Mom is the toxic one. Not sure what advice to give other than to really have a good look at your relationship with your mother and to try to set some healthy boundaries with her. bec

Thought I'd try it again.. so as of today the results are: Systemizing: 53 Empathy: 14 (ouch lol) Apergers: 32 Minds Eye: 24 Interesting how much this has changed, in just a few years!

Yep here's my two cents. Unhealthy people gravitate and are attracted to unhealthy people. So those caregivers are as unhealthy as the PTSD sufferer themselves and can not let go. As a PTSD sufferer begins to work on themselves and get healthier they will not attract as many unhealthy people as...

Police say they can't stop the spread of Pitt Meadows rave gang rape photos METRO VANCOUVER -- Ridge Meadows RCMP today Thursday they were helpless in attempting to get photographs removed from the internet of what investigators called the appalling gang rape of a 16-year-old girl by seven...

Your welcome but please don't apologize. It is impossible not to offend someone on a forum of this size if everything is taken personally. Just see some of Anthony's post on "offending" someone.. LOL... I also miss feeling that I have a future but have learned to live for now and this moment...

I am waiting for my Dad and step-mom to visit. I am waiting for my motorcycle to arrive with them. I am waiting to work on my motorcycle all winter and put it on the road next summer and ride it. :) I am waiting to go to a friends stag tonight (I am considered one of the boys.. lol) I am waiting...

Hehe your welcome. You body holding memories that your brain does not recall is called Somatic memory. It is listed as symptom of C-PTSD actually. Look up that and it will lead you in the direction you are seeking. :) bec

I am also a rape victim and I have definitely heard those stupid lines, however, please don't speak for me. I have also been in a situation where charges were laid and the rape was completely made up. It's common unfortunately. As far as I'm concerned the only way that rapes will start being...

I have now found the good that comes out of PTSD so I thought I would share with you. Yes I went through amazing amounts of pain at first and could have typed those words myself. Now, I know myself. All those "bad messages" I had to explore and find where they came from. Doing that enabled me to...

Please read #6 here: http://www.ptsdforum.org/content/298-Repressed-Memories That information on memory formation is taken form Early Childhood Development Books and is commonly found in Psych books dealing with Amnesia. If you want to find studies I would suggest looking into those two subjects...

How each person handles a break up is very individual and depends on the persons coping skills and personality when it comes to PTSD. As for me, I simply calmly state why I am breaking up with the person, ensure all of my property and theirs is returned to each owner and I walk away. There is no...

Jest, how about a compromise? You ride your bike and she rides her horses. Both are actually very similar. After you can have coffee (or whatever beverage you prefer) and talk about your experiences with each other. Bike riding and horseback riding are actually extremely similar and it's not...

I can close it? *runs to shut if off....*

I voted for hate it. The colours made it really hard for me to read anything.. got an instant headache.. if the colours didn't wash out the writing I'm sure I wouldn't have minded quite as much.

I would say his very words tell you what was going on there. He said it wasn't fair to you and the children, that you'll find peace and that he doesn't know how long this will take to get better. He recognizes that his suffering is causing you and the kids to suffer, that he upsets the peace and...

I come and go. Sometimes I come here to write a bit in my diary, although not often, just to get something down in black and white. Sometimes I come to read only. Sometimes I post to try to help others. I don't spend lots of time on here but I do cycle a bit with that. If I'm struggling I will...

I am one of those high energy people and often get told I'm aggressive. I would suggest that if you don't know, instead of saying that's the way it is, try telling her you don't know but you will try to find out. I am one of those people that would question why does 2+2=4, it's not a lack of...

Ghost, in my opinion, there was nothing wrong with what you posted, as is (I did not see it before today.) Jokes that have mild sexual innuendos are fine. It was not digusting or graphic, it did not imply that rape, assault or harassment are okay and those are what I would consider crossing the...

Jo everyone is different in how they experience Disassociation. I also have no warnings. I'm either here or I'm not. Although I have worked my butt off trying to get a handle on it, it's still a major problem for me. Once I go there, I'm gone. Nothing brings me back out until it has worked it's...

ROFL.. Herc I have tears in my eyes..that was priceless and I have actually done that!!! bec

Yep I get them.. every time actually. I did have heart trouble for a while there, but there was no chest pain involved strangely enough. My heart was given the "healthy" label about a year ago and I still get very severe chest pains every time I have an anxiety attack. I discovered what was...

Hmm perhaps with some? I have no issues with shame. I worked through that years ago, when it finally sunk in that this wasn't my fault, that what was done to me wasn't my fault. Why should I be shamed by another's actions? I don't think so.. LOL For me, the isolation is two things. The first is...

Ugh sorry to hear about that. The delay would send me spinning too. Glad to know it will be done ASAP though. Good luck with the results! bec

Welcome to the forum. I'm also a mom with PTSD and there are many parents on here with the same thing. bec
