    Ptsd From Being In A Police Station

    Who knows, maybe this will make you feel a little better: it actually is common practice to remove an inmates clothing for self harm. If you had been in the US and were threatening suicide verbally or through actions they put you in a relatively bare room with no clothing until you're deemed to...

    Poll How Long Do Most Of Your Panic Attacks Last?

    I get chest pain during and then muscle pain after, like I've been working out hard or something. I only had my first panic attack a year and a half ago. (And then ever since.) It would have been nice to continue on about my life without them. Stupid body.

    Poll How Long Do Most Of Your Panic Attacks Last?

    Hey look, I'm the only vote so far. Most of a day typically, but sometimes less. I also think that sometimes I have them and don't even realize it. That concept seems absurd to me, but there is a lot of evidence pointing toward it maybe being true.

    Should You Or Should You Not Donate.......

    Once I'm dead I have no further use for my body. So I don't really care what happens to it. If somebody can use some part of it then that's great. I'm an "organ donor" but I don't have a will so if I died tomorrow I couldn't say whether or not that wish would be fulfilled. Aside from that I have...

    Relationship "flakiness"

    Umm, well, it's kind of hard to answer your question because my definition of flaky seems considerably different from yours. I'll just give a descriptive response and you can take from it what you're looking for. I think that will work. My husband does not like crowds or social situations with...

    Overly Sensitive?

    I don't think there is any way for us to know. But you know the guy. If this was truly the first negative thing he's done and you've known him a decent amount of time I wouldn't take it for much. People get in all kind of moods and say things for all kind of reasons. Fear or worry, as has...

    News Mindfulness And Cbt Just As Effective For Treating Depression As Meds

    @VioletButterfly My favorite meditation is just what you'll find being called a "body scan". It's not really a breathing exercise or a cover yourself with love or positivity kind of thing or any of that. I have a really hard time focusing on anything like that. What the body scan meditation does...

    Just Sing Something

    No way, not a problem at all. What is it? There's something familiar there, but I no longer recognize more than maybe a dozen German words. Is it something that may have been remade in English?

    Just Sing Something

    @Anrish they seem to have a bunch of different options on there. If you scroll to the bottom of the page and click "Free Voice Recorder" it will let you do a 5 minute recording. Y'know, if your computer wants to cooperate. Mine didn't. :(

    Man, @Simply Simon I'm trying to post something here for you, but everything imaginable is going wrong. Flash Player update, weird static every time I tried to use SpeakPipe, then my headset up and died on me!! But I did just get a singsnap recording to work. It's not like, my favorite song or...

    Hello and welcome! Man, my glasses are the main reason I don't like rain. I'd probably be fine with it if I wasn't blind.

    Current Weather

    It's perfect today. Sunny, breezy, mid 70s I think, I couldn't even detect any humidity when I was out earlier. Freaking fabulous. We will definitely be spending some time at the park after this kid has his nap. But the rain is supposed to be back this weekend :(

    Introversion

    Now that I've actually read the thread I can participate in the conversation instead of just throwing my opinion out there. lol I wish I had a better memory. I read the book Quiet. A therapist my husband was seeing recommended it to him and then he passed it on to me. I'm not sure if she...

    Introversion

    Introverted, but not shy at all. Extremely awkward, but it doesn't really give me anxiety. It did in like, middle school when everybody cares about that stuff, but I'm pretty comfortable with my level of weird now. Other things may cause anxiety and make me withdraw from society, but I don't...

    Study Shows Taking Antidepressants In Pregnancy Associated With Raised Anxiety In 3 Year Olds

    I sure hope that's true. Hopefully this is not just me being overly optimistic, but it seems that there are only 2 paths to take- continue the cycle or conscientiously go in the complete opposite direction, which has got to be far, far better, right?

    Sorry....

    WHOAH I'll bet you're right! I have such a bad "sorry" habit. It's gotten better in just the last few years, but there was a time when I would essentially apologize to other people for being an asshole to me. I don't even know how to make sense of that now. Really all of it was an apology for...

    Study Shows Taking Antidepressants In Pregnancy Associated With Raised Anxiety In 3 Year Olds

    This is a fascinating post! Thanks for sharing @Lizio I was thinking when I originally read this that I have read in a few places that typically new mothers who harm their babies are suffering postpartum psychosis, not ppd, and wondered similarly whether psychosis during pregnancy would even...

    Just Sing Something

    I've been on Singsnap, as @WildMermaid linked to, for way too many years. If anybody else has a membership there they do have a blank recording now where you can record your own original material or whatever. I think it lists the don't use copyrighted materials disclaimer, but it's not exactly...

    Just Found Out The Details Of My Wife's Rape

    I'm glad I'm not just being finicky. I did have a hard time reading some of this thread and I wanted to tell you @Hooper that you can quote text from any of the previous posts by highlighting and clicking that little +Quote thing that comes up. Then you can add them to your response. It breaks...

    General Ptsd And Geekdom (reenactment)
