Well, I never go out at night. Only in the safety of the back yard. Nice that I now have only one neighbor & I often wonder what they must think if they hear me talking to those shadows that lurk about. People scare me more than those shadows do. New scenes take a lot of time for me to ease...

I received my PTSD diagnosis last after I became a victim in a violent crime that did not involve rape. I never got help for childhood sexual abuse, but I did finally receive help after I overdosed on barbiturates in my high school days. We did not have drug rehab centers in the 60's, so I was...

Yes, when I was a teenager I was forced to dance with a psych tech who rubbed his raging hardon on me until he came. When I resisted, he reminded me that I would be put in restraints & get a shot of thorozine in my ass. Those shots stung like hell! In those days, the techs did not have to be...

Years ago this was referred to as "patient led therapy" & it worked wonders for me. I was able to trace back to the root of where my original trauma caused me to become stuck in time & I was able to start the healing process. It cost me a ton of money & I don't think I would have been able to...

I hope you feel a bit better knowing it is a safe website to vent on! Otherwise, I can only offer a hug to you!:clown::wideeyed::poop: I find no emoji for a hug!:poop::arghh;!

I hope KatieO gives it another shot & realizes she isn't alone. Thanks to everyone for the kind words, but I didn't want this to be about me. I was sharing in hopes it might help. I'm always late. :eek:

Con-tempt. I like to look into the meanings of the words we use in today's world & wonder if people living in ancient times used those same words in different applications. Translations into the English language has left most of us in the dark when it comes to having a TRUE UNDERSTANDING of...

Hell. I don't even know you & I'd be willing to give up some money to help you out of a commie-tossed headache! Come to the US & enjoy our new fascist rulers! I wish I could move to Mexico. I left socal to go to norcal & I hate the lack of sun big time! I wanna go back to sunny San Diego or...

Jello & welcome to planet assist! That's MY take on this website. I'm new myself & so happy I found a place where I can speak freely! Happy to see other non military people with PTSD joining in. I have also experienced life on the streets & living in shelters & under bridges. Now I get to grow...

I stopped believing in fairy tales & the people who blindly obeyed words that they had no idea of the original meaning that those words & stories were meant to portray. I became a leader & I stand knowing I will live & die as one with whatever created me. For lack of a better word, I refer to...

Well, ...I happen to be an atheist/realist & firmly believe that to every action there is an equal, lesser, or greater reaction. That said, I weigh the options when I am faced with a personal crisis & force myself to find a POSITIVE in the many NEGATIVES that surround my daily life. I have...

I lost count of the number of times I have said I wanted to kill myself. Life rarely gives any of us what we want when we want it. so, I am still alive & dealing with getting older & getting to see my abusers die one by one from their old age & physical ailments. All the crap they did to me &...

Some people never find that "balance" & I happen to know that when I stopped trying to force myself into a "societal mold", I was able to accept myself & life on a moment to moment basis. I learned to love life & I was a part of life, so I was/am deserving of the love. I may never find...

My abuse started at birth. I left on the day I turned 18 & got into a "real" relationship (So I thought @ the time) & took another 17 years of abuse from my husband. I had to run to the other end of the state to escape him & all of his many "friends". To this day the fool still attempts to...

I finally found non corn tortillas from a place in Texas. Siete foods has them made with almond flour. Good good good 4 me to get to have tacos again!

Clicking onto the news & reading that Trump is trying to say the protestors & people against him in the polls are FAKE NEWS! That's the kind of crap that makes me mad. I think they all must be delusional when it comes to them NOT getting the majority vote. Politics tends to piss me off &...

I used to beat myself up for being outspoken in public. Over time, I learned that there is a big difference between having people "like" me & having them "accept" me. I only want to be accepted as I am. If the people I talk to don't, then I figure it's a win for me because I don't need phony...

When I feel really down & in need of a boost, I make these "brownies". No cook. Just a food processor. No sugar, no artificial anything. Just awesome goodness! 1 cup raw pecans 1 cup pitted dates 5 tablespoons raw cacao power 4 tablespoons shredded raw coconut 1-2 tablespoons raw honey Add...

OMG! If I ate like that again, I might be in the ER & die an earlier death than I need to! Allergic to everything except the peppers & ham(if it's uncured)! Since I went to a paleo diet of veggies, fruits, clean protein sources & good fats, most of my health issues have disappeared & I feel...

Dis associasion only seems to bother the people who want us all to be "team players"! At least this is how I see it.

I commend you for being brave enough to open the door! Now they at least know that you are not a threat to society because you did not get violent or scream a bunch of stuff at them. You kept it plain & simple. Good 4 U!:D:D:D

I love to pull off to the side of a road & scream when I get stressed. So many small minded morons in the world we live in. I can relate to people with fear of those of us who they view as abnormal. I happen to think THEY are the people with the real acceptance issues. Hope you get results...

I still live with the reality that my abusers went on to abuse others in the family & they forced me to babysit their children & we all did some vile stuff to each other when the grown-ups were gone or just in the other room getting drunk. My Mother said I was a liar when I tried to tell her...

Sounds like you just might need a vacation. A short break won't hurt either you nor your boyfriend. California can drain a person if they have not grown up here. Find a forest or a beach or a park & commune with nature for a few hours. I guarantee it will help your head to find some peace...
