    My Trauma Has Happened Again

    My mental health office just opened a little while ago. The fastest I can get in is one week from today, the only other way to be seen sooner would mean checking in somewhere and I just cant, even though deep down I know I need it. Maybe next week, who knows. I tried to nap, didnt happen, have...

    Why Are People So Hard To Understand?

    Bless you, I feel terrible for you knowing your spouse refuses to allow you to speak of the past. Not to pry but are you a younger couple? When we (spouse and myself) were younger it was harder to speak of our pasts. As we have grown as a couple, and matured through the many years we find it...

    Why Are People So Hard To Understand?

    Why Are People So Hard To Understand?

    I used to write, not so much anymore as I cannot keep with much of anything long enough to complete it. I am not sure if it is the ADD or the meds I take for PTSD, PTSD itself, or a combo of the list. I also have physical limitations as well that prevents me from being able to write either...

    Why Are People So Hard To Understand?

    My Hair Is Falling Out

    I have lost a very noticable amount of my hair over the years. I've asked for every test they could think of to find out why I was loosing my hair. Nothing was found medically and it was not a reaction to maid cation either. I now wear a lot of extensions or wigs when I go into public.

    Thank you veterans for your sacrifices. My oldest son is a Marine, he blurted out, without pause, over the holidays he had volunteered to go to Aphganastan. This was a hard kick in the face as he has been in what was considered a non deploy able support unit. He's excited about going, thats...
