Maybe my last post was inappropriate. I waited for a response as well. The longer one didn't materialize, the less I thought the poster is a legitimate mental health care provider. I have a tremendous dislike for trolls. I have a tremendous dislike for people pretending to be trained mental...

Wikipedia: Where the experts in their field go. With it anybody can be an expert on anything in no time. Add Google and it just blows the mind what we can become experts in... Johnny: Sue, where did you get your degree at? Sue: Wikipedia. Johhny: Hmm. I got mine at Google. Thinking of getting...

??? :cautious:

CNN has had several follow up articles about this. I hadn't updated the thread because they hadn't made any real progress. They were just frustrating and made me even more angry. I have to give CNN credit this time, they didn't just make a fluff piece and move on. They are like bulldogs with a...

I bought the Mrs. a Tinkerbell solar powered yard light/ornament and gave it to her yesterday. She loves Tinkerbell. I told her it was for her birthday/mothers day as they are very close to each other. I'll get her some more gifts probably. We have an agreement that we get our own presents...

Did this thread get merged? I used to post in "Get your art on, all types of art included", now find my posts in this thread.

Most of this has been covered, but hearing it put another way can sometimes help.

I'm on a seefood history diet. If I see it, and it's slower than me, it's history :p. Just kidding. I don't have a set diet or schedule. I try to listen to my body tell me when it's hungry, which with my anxiety isn't easy other than FARK I'm hungry! I eat a big meal once in my morning whatever...

This flower is in my Mother in Law's yard. It's a biannual or in some cases triennial. She calls it and was told it's name is "Crown of Jewels". I did a quick Google of it and nothing like it came up. SO... I don't know it's real name. The lighting was actually much brighter than this, but with...

(CNN) -- At least 40 U.S. veterans died waiting for appointments at the Phoenix Veterans Affairs Health Care system, many of whom were placed on a secret waiting list. More: http://www.cnn.com/2014/04/23/health/veterans-dying-health-care-delays/index.html?hpt=hp_t1 And yet their jobs are...

IMHO any activity that causes harm to one's self is a form of self harm. On a side note have you been tested for diabetes? I'm diabetic and have an issue with self control with all forms of sugar/carbohydrates. Some times I gorge on sweets even though I know i'm doing my body harm. I get a...

I think Belew is a nutjob. IMHO students at Berkeley, and other nut job "Higher learning centers", the KKK, and other hate groups are far more likely to become terrorists than vets. We gave an oath upon enlistment to serve and protect, and carry that oath near and dear 'till our death. Many of...

If I do something very long I lose interest. If I continue doing it anyways, I end up hating it. It helps to mix things up. Do one thing today, do something else tomorrow, ect. Variety is the spice of life.(y)

Here is an article in Psychology Today. I found it by link in another forum for Fybromyalgia sufferers. It's focus is on chronically medically ill, but can also apply to psychologically affected as well. Six Common Misconceptions about the Chronically Ill <--- Link I put it on my FB page also...

I often have night sweats. I'm a guy. I often have to move the pillow and where I'm laying to let my bedding dry out. I've had them since my first cruise during the first Gulf War. I didn't have PTSD back then, but the groundwork was in place (the first of my traumas). It doesn't matter if it's...

In all fairness, I did say I don't encourage or condone what I wrote above. I also said to actually stay at the new residence at least several days a week. Each person would need to take a serious look at their needs and any laws that might apply to them (including residency laws). Actually...

Here is the way I look at it: Before dictionaries, the way words were spelled were all over the spectrum. With the standardized spelling, it was much easier to learn to read and write. The same with medical texts naming body parts, and last but not least the DSM and ICD. With CPSD we are still...

I don't know what to say that might help you other than your in my prayers. I hope it gets better for you soon. If you have truly used all that you can and your needs still aren't being met you might try the following. I'm not encouraging, or condoning this, BUT... There are a few people I have...

Oh shit.... This is one of the apocalypse diseases (not a religious statement, just a common sense statement). I'm not one to run around saying the sky is falling, but people need to keep an eye on this one. Be prepared - I'm a mild doomsday prepper, mostly food. Excerpts from Wikipedia: The...

My 2 copper. Fibro/CFS has often been found as a comorbid* companion with PTSD as have a lot of other medical conditions. If the mind has run off the tracks, it's not uncommon for the body to do so as well. Simply Google the two terms together, or (PTSD and comorbid) and see what else pops up...

The only thing we towed behind the aircraft carrier was the "Killer Tomato". A florescent orange 6ft torpedo shaped aluminum float. They towed it 'bout a 100 yards behind the ship and the aircraft would use it as a target to simulate small boats. They weren't supposed to hit it, which would sink...

Good article. Dead Link Removed. <--- Link. Funny video. In America a vest isn't required, but encouraged. Dead Link Removed <--- Link to youtube video.

I didn't see Mrs Spock's thread of a very similar topic. Being that it is already going and has been for much longer, I'll ask this thread be closed and any future posts go in her thread at: https://www.myptsd.com/threads/what-have-you-done-for-your-supporter-s-lately.39322/page-3

I didn't see this thread when I started a similar one yesterday. Sorry for overlapping topics, I didn't mean to try to hijack the topic Ms Spock. I'll post a reference hyperlink to this thread and ask for it to be locked.

Listening to my wife loudly play Miley Cyrus - wrecking ball several times in a row, every morning, and playing it again several times in a row, a couple times during the day for well over a month does not cause PTSD. Maybe wanting to stuff my ears with cement, and wanting to make cement...
