I was looking at FBI records for shooting deaths in the USA from 2011 to 2014 and also looked at numbers thru fact check. There has been a steady decline in deaths, granted the numbers still too high. Gun deaths have declined each year from at least 2010. Although more guns, less gun death...

@joeylittle, I have in fact been shooting for close to 10 years at a range at least 10xper year, before I even applied for a concealed carry license. I had to take an 8 hour class and pass a shooting ability test to qualify. Not only am I competent with a handgun, I am also fairly accurate...

@Changeling Ok I'll join in on topic. I agree that no one convicted of misdemeanor DV or felony DV should have right to purchase any firearm. I do believe there should be rules as to who can purchase and stricter background checks if necessary. My personal experiences re: DV and MY right...

I would have liked to express my personal reasons for my support of 2nd Amendment in civil discussion but as a Texan, I've already been stereotyped. I do support all rights granted to me by my Constitution including our Bill of Rights. Each side has their own "facts", there own agenda's...

@honeypie058, You are most certainly not mad... it's the trauma/ptsd. I deal with similar issues when having any type of procedure. Because of my spine issues, I go for injections and each time I do my anxiety level is very high. My BP is very high, like stroke numbers. For me it seems to...

I can most definitely relate and I'm certain I am suffering from agoraphobia. I can NOT be in a crowd, traffic, or anywhere I feel trapped and can't get away. I have to avoid as many of these situations as possible. I had a very difficult time at my sons recent high school graduation. Ugh...

Discord, I am fairly new to my own diagnosis of cptsd so I have no answers as to what yours may be. I just wanted to comment on your post. It seems you've been through a traumatic life so far and I can understand your brain turning off certain emotions. It's survival, self preservation! I...

I just want to correct my above post because its unclear. sorry. i have only been experiencing fear, anger or numbness... not much else. but mostly being numb. i hope to learn about any suggestions to help. thanks

I wish I knew. Lately I've felt very little,... fear, anger or numbness. Mostly the numbness. Thanks for asking/posting this topic

Mary1979, Oh how I can relate to your experiences. First I'd like to say I'm not a medical professional, but your symptoms do not sound like anxiety to me! There is something going on. I can relate to not being taken seriously though. I recently went to my local e.r. because I was having...

Hi @I_Am_Titanium - Yes, I feel the way you do regarding having to remind myself that the abuse was real. The way I see it is we were conditioned to view abuse as "normal". You said that you were emotionally abused for 30 yrs… that's a long time. Our brains normalize the things we're...

Hello to everyone, If I've written anything that triggers another, I'm sorry in advance. I've been diagnosed with CPTSD. I'm currently having a difficult time with flashbacks, panic attacks. I have so many triggers that sometimes I'm shocked. I was born to young parents who were not ready to...
