It's my old metal band, so I sang, we had two guitarists, one bassist, and the drummer. We were still trying to figure out how to mic the drums so they sound a little muffled and crappy on that one. I know metal isn't everyone's gig... I LOVE it. God, if you wanna get some PTSD Sh#t out, do...

YAY hugs!!!!!

Hi all!! Good work to all of you, such a good thread. I mentioned to S.S, this thread is special to me because I get to finally hear some of the voices of people I talk to and considers buddies on this site- like @Saelben and @Ed Norton. It's so cool to put a real voice to the person we talk to...

Oh woah my phone apparently had a malfunction- Kailani was who I meant... Wow that's weird

Beautiful approach Saelben!!

Today I worked out at the gym and concentrated on literally getting the negative energy out and making my aura change for the better. It was like a huge hug while I dispensed all of the nasty stuff out of my mind and body- helped me have a more positive day!

well step one is acknowledging, and that you have already done on your own. Yay! good for you. Step two-you just have to be more conscious. I know it's hard, especially when you hang out with others then go hang out and you have to be careful with words or topics, but hey- if this is a...

I would try to educate yourself as much as you can on PTSD. It is different for all, but I told my husband to read a "PTSD supporter" book and it helped at least 60%. It's a different world for those that don't have the experiences. Give your friend as much space as they need, but the biggest...

Sighs, you get the "I'm a kick a*s woman award" for tonight. You could have totally gotten the claws out and you didn't. Gotta keep that short but hats OFF, my lady. Yeah, NZ. slw, I am sorry for this, and hope this helped at least a little bit if not start a new thread maybe more specific...

I think that was your beautiful and helpful answer.

This will be my last post on this thread if this continues, because let's get back to outsider view of things, we have someone that asked a question about PTSD and instead of constructive notes they get an off topic fight. Thanks. This should be a beautiful and uplifting go to for anyone. And...

You really need to calm down.

Okay I understand that may be a tender spot, so I should have used "my friends or my/their experiences". My intention is never to generalize and demean anyone on here. I am trying to just answer a question that I feel is very complex, loaded and that the person who is asking for help is very...

Hi Slw, First off, welcome- your dog in the pic is absolutely adorable. Second, so I'm assuming from your post that he is the sufferer and kind of just bailed. I am only one person and experience, as you will find from the feedback you get on here, every single persons experience is...

I will have to look up the author of that one, but one book I'm almost finished with that is PERFECT for you, is called The Gifts of Imperfection: You're guide to a wholehearted Life by Brene Brown. It's not a huge book either, she is right to the point with some really beautiful topics that...

I am in the middle of my work with trying to get my power back- to love and defend myself. I thought this would be a great thread for this group because it is something very critical to celebrate while we are all in varying states of recovery. So hop in, and tell us what you did today! If you...

Wow. Good for you Dharma, keep it up!!

Gosh DG, I am SO sorry to hear you guys have had so much loss. I am glad to hear that they reach out to you to try to help you find peace with this tough stuff. I find it so interesting that this can be a very family related experience and others say only one in family. So complex, but I guess...

Thanks- language barriers can create a barrier in themselves, I appreciate that

OH my gosh @Whirlwind, you get a high five from me because A. you hit *crap* on the dot, B. you are an honest chick and I DIG that. YOU GO girl. :). I am totally like you, I will have great weeks and even months, and then life happens, we needed to euthanize a pet recently, or my car breaks...

Thank you @barefoot , this is very helpful!!

Thanks. So the worry I express is when he's actually traveling totally seperate from me, and has acute sleepwalking activity due to lack of sleep, high stress, and no breaks while he's on work travel. So unfortunately, it's his stress that makes it worse, and while I will stress over it , my...

HI everybody, So I am obviously a sufferer and my husband a supporter, however---- we are having some serious issues with his life long habit of sleep walking that started as a kid and he doesn't know why. He only knows it is triggered by stress. He travels 60% of the time for his job and...

I'm glad there's a good following here and a coming together with women on this matter. I am not in the exact same position, although my genes in my family do run that way and it is always a possibility. I'm a C, but my sister was an DD-E in high school and cried every single year it was prom...

@Digz - I feel for you and you are SO not alone. I've found on this forum that while I haven't had to endure some horrible, intensely violent single events that happen to people on here (and I know they have binging challenges also) I find that my high number of less shocking assaults have...
