Don't view it as $30 down the drain. You didn't know, it could have been $100 down the drain (I swear, those only $100 systems are reported to work identical to the cheapest systems). And, I'm not sure if you really threw it out or not, it can still be used as a tone/vibrate collar if you want...

This is one of the reasons I got that cheap system in the first place. I needed to teach my dog an outdoor recall for safety reasons and eventually had to turn to that solution as a last resort. It was just so critically important that I decided going to that length was worth it. The prey...

I understand the concept of ANP and EP but being DID with more than 20 recorded parts.... I don't really recall if any of them have been able to be truly "functional". The ones who were are now "retired" (they don't exist anymore, or simply haven't been triggered out in more than 5 years)...

Someone I know mentioned that survivors are more likely to watch shows like SVU because it's like watching the trauma happening to someone else, someone other than them. I wonder how many of us watch this show (or similar shows) for similar reasons? For me it's the only thing that keeps my...

I've made the same mistake. Biggest mistake I made was trusting consumer reviews on Amazon and not professional trainer reviews. These people on Amazon buying the cheap electronic collars think they've cured their dog's behavioral problem and give it 5 stars. All they've done is taught their...

I trained my own service dog, an adult from a rescue. They're trained to help with my physical disabilities but the DPT task can be used for PTSD symptoms if I wish to use it for that. My dog also has one behavioral alert task. I'm happy to answer any directly messaged questions but I'm...

On the flip side, when people who know my past treat it like it's very serious I begin freaking out at them for treating it like it's a big deal at all. I get extremely scared at them for it.

Training a rescue dog with similar issues as me has offered a ton of insight and changed thinking.

That's asking a lot! :whistling::banghead:

Yes, I especially feel like it wasn't traumatic enough to warrant me having CPTSD and DID issues. It doesn't make sense to me why my brain fragmented over such... Idk... Not totally devastating things. Especially with applying for inpatient treatment I'm like... I'm going to get there and...

Think of it this way... Maybe your exhaustion was perpetuating the anxiety or even the cause? The meditation just helped you turn down the noise of anxiety and listen to what your body and mind really needed: a nap.

That was an incredible read. I felt like they were describing me the entire time.

Interesting

Yes, please. (goes to figure out PM system)

And here I am, the one who typically doesn't develop any PTSD symptoms at all until 4-6 months post-trauma for most of the incidents in my life. Years for some of them. How does data explain that?

What's with the spandex rule in their list? My sensory issues make it difficult for me to wear any pants other than yoga pants.

Anyone been to SP TDU recently? There's no guarantee that I'll get in but my therapist thinks it's likely. I'd like to hear about what it's like when you arrive, what the place is like, how it runs, what weekends are like, how they handle things like iPods or if you can even charge the battery...
