    Happy Memories

    I'm watching the FIFA World Cup right now and I just remembered PE from my sophomore year of high school. (Sorry guys, yes, another one.) I have a lot of memories from HS come to think about it. Anyway, back in PE, we would cycle through activities over the course of the school year. I'm not...

    2014 Is Halfway Over. What Did You Like Or Dislike About Your Six Months?

    2014 was pretty good up until April. Went to Seattle in January with my family and that was absolutely amazing. I love the Northwest. The weather there is just my cup of tea. School started shortly after. A fun semester. At least until the trauma. But my Counselor was so nice and understanding...

    What Did She Mean By This?

    I don't know the whole story, and I'm not trying to put words in anyone's mouth, but if you were a child and were scared, I think it's just a natural response, to "want" to go with somebody to safety. Anyone. They say hindsight is 20/20. I, too, beat myself up. Saying I shouldn't have done...

    Poll How Many Traumatic Incidents Have You Experienced?

    Just one major one. 20 years old. Completely shattered me. From my naïveté. Guess it was a long time coming.

    What Music Are You Listening To Right Now?

    Mistress Appears At Funeral by Self Defense Family. Caroline Corrigan has the most beautiful voice ever. To me anyway:)

    Thrashing Around?

    Yeah. It's just such a weird feeling, like I'm just sitting in the passenger seat of my body. Bristol sounds like an awesome Service Dog:) I don't know how to insert that cute emoticon, but a big, thankful hug to you too. :) My best wishes for you on your EMDR and healing.

    How Often Do You See Your Therapist?

    With my first psychologist, my school's Mental Health Counselor, it was once a week. Tuesdays. It all happened towards the end of the semester so we were only able to get three sessions in before the semester ended, but my school covers six sessions, so I'll be seeing her again when Fall...

    Thrashing Around?

    This hasn't happened to me since earlier after the trauma, but I still thrash and swing or my muscles tense up and cramp really bad when I jolt awake sometimes. My heart races. Like a couple of hours ago. It was so scary. I sob for a while after it happens. Has this happened to anyone else?

    The Small Things In Life. What Makes You Happy?

    My skateboard. I can just cruise and cruise. If I see something beautiful that catches my eye, I can just step off, carry it with me, and enjoy the sights. :)

    What Music Are You Listening To Right Now?

    Hostage Calm's Please Remain Calm. That album is just the greatest. 10 tracks, 35 minutes of the Beatles meets The Beach Boys meets Punk Rock. :)

    Fighting Against Myself

    That is powerful, @shimmerz. And very true. And tangible. I'll try to. :) I wish you the best on your healing, @Randombits. And I'm so happy to hear that you're trying to make the world a better place. I am on that path too. That's the light I'm holding onto, I guess. People like you. Like us...

    Comic Books

    LuckyDuck: Awesome. I didn't think about Calvin & Hobbes until now. They have a very cool friendship. EternallyChildish: I agree completely. Nightwing is probably my favorite DC hero. Everything about him is cool. His suit, acrobatics, history. His fighting style really turns panels into...

    Fighting Against Myself

    I don't know what to call it. I want to break free from the fear. I feel the need to fight back against my darker half, my negative half. I feel the need to conquer and overcome it. But it feels pointless. Futile. Every day. Every hour. I'm swinging at my negative side, yelling at it to get away...

    Comic Books

    Yeah, definitely. I don't think you can go wrong with Alan Moore. I feel that he's writes some of the best stories and they're kinda timeless. Nothing to feel guilty about for Conan. :) And Aqua-man? His name doesn't come up nearly enough. I agree. DC's storytelling is much tighter and not as...

    Comic Books

    That's cool:) Right on, who doesn't enjoy a little Deadpool? Completely understandable, DC doesn't really catch my eye either. Watchmen's awesome, but really dark. It was cool to see how close the movie and novel were. :)

    Comic Books

    Anyone else here into comic books? Of any sort. I'm 100% certain there are. I've been into them since I was a little kid, but could never really afford them. Or know where to buy them. But lately I've been building up my collection. Although, I prefer graphic novels. Single issues don't cut it...

    Appreciating What We Have

    I have everything to be grateful for. Amazing family, all happy and in good health. Stable financial situation. (Knock on wood.) I'm in good physical health. (Knock again.) All kinds of pizza and In-N-Out are readily available. I live super close to all of my friends. I live in a relatively safe...

    Happy Memories

    Not too distant of a memory. 2011. My fifth period art class with Mr. E. In the beginning of the year, we started off with a real small group. Quietly sitting on each side of the table. Just this random assortment of people. By December or January, our table was packed! People transferred in...

    Sufferer I Think It's Time I Talk To People Like Me

    Well, I think you've chosen the best forum possible and a big, warm Welcome. :) I used to (still do) compare what happened to me to what happened to others and feel that my problems are minuscule. But I guess I was doing it wrong, you know? An experience is an experience no matter what. And...

    Anxiety Hours

    Definitely unsettling. It comes from out of nowhere, and changes up randomly. Hot and then cold. I feel like I have zero control over anything I do at this point. Just at the mercy of my brain. Great to hear that this stuff passes for you:) and best of luck on the grounding. It's 1am over here...

    No Appetite

    @Shaan: In general? I haven't told any one of my friends. I personally don't feel that any of this is their cross to bear, so to speak. But I don't think that that's a healthy mindset to have. I do, however, frequent this forum and call my local Warmline whenever I feel overwhelmed. The way I...

    No Appetite

    Yeah, I'm the same way right now. It's the anxiety. It's just like an absence of hunger. Even though I haven't eaten anything all day, I'm just never hungry. It's very unhealthy, but sometimes, I would just get by on one slice of pizza or one granola bar the whole day. I worked hard to gain...
