Study provides new insights into the relationship between PTSD, genetics and inflammation This could be pretty cool, and I might need to be less skeptical of 'alternative therapies.' A little dismayed though. The articles I've been reading all suggest a primarily psychological framework for...

Any evaluation and assessment tool is going to fail at times. Flexibility should be built into it. Otherwise we risk returning to the era of "ptsd only happens to soldiers" regardless of symptoms being shared across diverse or even unique traumas. A taxonomy of disorders, each consisting of...

from a brief on nbi: In uncontrolled, unblinded, retrospective case series, SGB for PTSD had high rates of rapid clinical improvement in PTSD symptoms (70% to 75%). However, findings from the first randomized trial (RCT) of SGB for PTSD were inconclusive, neither confirming nor refuting...

Irony detected. Work on expressing oneself. Therapist isn't psychic. And communication is engaging with trauma, which... is what therapy is. It might hurt but you're worth it. my method is honesty when speaking with T. honest, always. therapist asks "how are you today" i don't give the...

Can't speak to auto accidents but relate to problematic psychiatrists. Although... a psychiatrist that recommends prayer? Skepticism rising. Psychiatrist that isn't listening. Suggest addressing that problem. Inform psychiatrist very firmly that you are quitting hydroxyzine and require a...

Remembering a funny epic rainstorm from last year. I'd walked to the store for some pick-me-up pastry. The sky was charcoal and there was a lot of wind, so I more or less expected to be slightly damp when I got home. It was sprinkling when I left the store. About thirty seconds later, it...

Perversely glad this little league body stuff happens to other people too. Some years ago I ripped off a tendon in one of my fingers whilst shedding long underwear. Splint mostly healed it but now I game and sometimes type without that finger because the joint gets sore, fast. Hurts when it...

Water skiing. In case of accident I can swim, but I can't fly. A stroll in the morning, or a stroll in the evening?

And an earlier study with a particularly interesting sentence in the abstract: "In fact, the same alleles are over-represented in individuals with major depression, bipolar disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder." taking us a step closer to understanding co-morbidity.

Viewing media attentively helps me. Slow, safe, uncomfortable exposure to intense emotions on the screen. Cautious desensitization to stimuli.

i "opened up" by being emotionally honest with my therapist. if he asks a question and i feel bitter, or sad, or angry, or just confused, then that's what i express. it has hurt pretty bad a few times. even when the feelings are trivial it's good practice to recognize feelings and be willing...

if youtube counts, finished seasons 1-2-3 of Escape the Night. Murder mystery party game meets bad acting. actually i spent almost every moment with my eyes closed because there's too many faces and too many voices. but supporter enjoyed it.

Dijon. Bit more depth, to my palate. Rain or thunder storm?

Dead Link Removed Our sky today. Too much humanity in the shot for my liking but the clouds almost make up for it. Dawn-coloured roses.

Rain through the open window and a game soundtrack.

Supporter bringing plums from town.

Is the shading on the poppy different colours or a shading technique?

i'm atheist, but i'm yet to find a workplace where being rational and educated are advantageous.

I should be working. Glad I bought cherries for supporter. everything i do is wrong. (bad. cognitive distortion. c'mon man we discussed this) Ugh. Why am I still rattled by yesterday's trigger? Chug that water.

When you don't need VR to be transported to a vivid sensory experience.

Felt empowered when the T discussed severe stress' long term damaging effects on the hypothalamus. Because when I break, I know it's not me being a habitual failure, it's the damage.

Flatpack - quality is the same, it's 30% cheaper, and usually I like the design more. Real watermelon or artificial watermelon?

Dinner: a cabbage. Ingredients: a cabbage.
