It has taken me many years to learn ways to deal with troublesome people who trigger my violent side. I just learned to know when to avoid rather than have to retreat. I now go by my gut instinct & must avoid large crowds & never go to movie theatres, sporting events, or restaurants. I read...

I spent a ton of money on therapists to deal with my anger issues when my abusive husband of 17 years decided to leave me & take everything with him. I was what they once referred to as the "dumpee" & he was the "dumper", according to all of the self help books I was reading back in the 1980's...

When I changed my eating habits, most of my auto immune problems disappeared. I went to a very strict original Paleo "diet" with no processed foods. I now only consume clean protein sources from nuts, fish, eggs, grass fed meats. No salt, no sugar, no grains. Just fresh vegetables, fruits, &...

Keep us posted. A radio show would be interesting. I hope it includes a diverse following!

Oh, that's a great idea - a white board! I never thought of using one of those. I have notes & paper everywhere! I'm gonna try this. Thanks!

I got wacked in the head 16 years ago & had a concussion that later led to a series of mini strokes from the beating that caused blood clots to randomly break loose & ruin my day. My hearing has never been the same & I was told I have short term memory loss. I have to keep notes to keep my...

Oh yes, I remember those days & never ending nights of of reliving the violent acts that I have witnessed, been a part of & taken part in over the course of almost 65 years on this earth. So many memories & so little time left to share them with the world! I was raised as an "only child" & I...

I struggle with the same concerns over having my identity & location & current photos of myself in the public sector. I have pretty much sequestered myself for many years & never use my true name on the internet. I also do not disclose my living location & always use a Post Office Box as an...

I don't follow organized religious philosophies. But I don't judge others on their choices. If the government starts to REQUIRE that a person must register, then I just might put my name on that list & do a bit of studying for the protection of freedom of choice in the US! I am Atheist by...

Be sure to install a good lock on your bedroom door so the new people don't take your stuff too. You did your best & now the rest is up to your Grandmother. Her house & she will deal with those who disrespect it as well as you. Hang in as long as you can, then get out as soon as you can. No...

Can a person be too broken? Only a body can be broken & the mind has the job of keeping the glue in the cracks of the pieces. That is how I keep track of all of my pieces! I use my mind to find new pathways to freedom. Other people just shake their heads in disbelief. I laugh a lot too.

I'm new here too & was officially told I had PTSD in 2001. So happy to find a website with people who have a bit of understanding into their own issues. I think I had pre-PTSD from parents with poor coping skills & a school system that had no idea how to deal with me!

That's the same type of BS people have said to me in my past. It took me years to realize it was NOT my fault & every attack that has ever happened to me helped to shape my view of the world. My attackers were once victims too & they learned how to search out easy prey. I am no longer easy...

No it is NOT your fault. I know it's hard to feel, but you are not the reason you were beaten. With time, the memory of the beating will lessen & one day, you will be the woman who will help change this system that failed you! Right now, it is your time to heal & move on with your life. It...
