@Sandstone- Friday gave a better explanation than I ever could have. After reading it, I have to tell you that I just realized I have been dealing with things of this nature since I was a child & the way I dealt with it was to come to the belief that it was spirits & things I could not see who...

So, if I understand this correctly (or not), you sort of zoned out as you were ironing & don't remember anything that happened until the iron went cold? Is there any possibility a breaker got overloaded & switched the iron off without your own hand actually doing it? In the US, many of us have...

@Sandstone, I once realized that it was me who was hiding my keys & started using duct tape to give my mind a prompter that someone else was trying to take over the ship. It worked for awhile. Then I discovered that if I put my keys on a carabineer clip & hooked it to the drawer pull on the...

@Hope4Now, It's all about change. Alt. But thanks for the general textbook version.

I refuse to continue to be a guinea pig for the pharma industries. The products are all toxic for my body. Why risk getting any of their side effects? You can choose this route if you want to...but always beware & have someone close to you monitor you for at least the first few weeks of use...

-I have absolutely NO IDEA what any of that stuff you posted means due to my inability to learn the new mode & endless terms of the tech community. I don't own a smart phone & never will due to the harsh energy it emits into my hands & arms. -I will continue to read & post as long as I can...

I have to admit that I do fear forced incarceration & medication if I were to tell the wrong health professional about my many sides or as I hear them referred to as "alters" in todays world. To me an alter is something to knell on or sacrifice something on. So, that type of word association...

Proof that money doesn't always buy happiness! Happy to hear someone is happy about life & if I may be so bold to offer a smidgeon of "advice"...I would tell you to not forget to set strict work hours for yourself & take a vacation at least every 3 years to avoid burnout!:singing:

You don't mention your age, but I am almost 64 & don't have that much interest in going out into life. So, whatever "potential" I may have is hidden from my minds eye at this point in time. I have learned to adjust my habits based on how I feel & what I know I can & cannot handle. For...

Yep Yep, I come here for the shear fact of knowing I can be my true self & on the rare occasion someone attempts to trample my memories & life experiences with their politically correct linguistics nonsense, I can tell them where to stick their lollipop! I don't kickbox, but I certainly do a...

I hear ya. Trouble is that some poor soul standing or working in the checkout line might be the one to have to take your "wrath" on that fateful day that you can't hold onto your rage. That bottle can be turned into a glass if you get yourself a glass cutter & start a new hobby. It helps to...

Well. to all who seem to want to direct shit in my direction, let me remind you that Leisel & others come here for ideas, answers & just a safe place to go to share their current issues with PTSD & so much more. I was not pretending to be an expert. I was sharing my view & if I was 10% unsure...

I also went through an attack by a person that I could identify as my attacker, yet when it was time to go to court, I just could not get myself to return for the full trial because the defense lawyers for my attacker raked me over the coals so badly & re-victimized me as my attacker sat there &...

I'm a bit confused on why waiting isn't a smart idea. This age of 26 or older is the time of self discovery & a lot of sexual activity goes on when a person starts hanging out in the club/bar scene. A person needs to explore life before boxing themselves into any type if perceived sexual...

Since I was born with a milk allergy & fed canned goats milk as an infant & later forced to drink milk because "it was good for my health", I think I can see where my food confusion stems from! After years of kidney infections & years of antibiotics & sulfur based medications, I was having...

@shatter eyes I seem to remember in one commercial for kit kat, they say "break me off a piece of that kit kat bar" & it just occurred to me how much in line that is with my old days in the drug world. We would get a big rock of cocaine or meth & say "break me off a piece"! Hmm, kind of makes...

Yes, it truly sucks when the people who were supposed to care for us, turn on us like we (their children) are just meaningless "things". It took me many years to realize those same people who abused me were only carrying on the same bad behavior that they were raised with. I vowed not to do...

To my knowledge, there are 3 main types of mental health people. Psychiatrists, Psychologists, & MFCC. Some work on a sliding scale for nominal fees of $20.00 or less. I found the phychiatrists were doling out meds by the drawer-fuls, psychologists wanted long term expensive commitments &...

After my body took a beating at the end of a big stick & I suffered all kinds of head trauma & broken bones, I got to find out what having a "bottom" was! This is a term I often heard in my AA & NA meetings & I never really understood it until I was stuck in it with no way out. I was diagnosed...

Good for you! Taking the first step (cutting out corn syrup) can lead you to the next step in brain retraining. I finally (took a few years) cut out all refined foods & the only "sugar" that passes over my tongue these days comes in the form of HONEY. A little goes a long way & when I add a...

Oh, I can tell you stories, but I won't. I will only say that I once fell in love with a man who was a complete & total illusion. It took me many years to see that I was in need of someone to care for as well as to have someone tell me what I needed/wanted to hear. Those 3 words "I love you"...

It sucks when professional people get stuck on stupid. Last year my PCP (primary care physician) just disappears & all of my records went with him. The clinic won't give me any info & no one seems to know what to do. It's bad enough that I already had my identity stolen on 2 occasions & now I...

Leo sun with Leo moon with Aquarius rising. Hence my name of Firesign 8!

I come from a long line of abusive people. I doubt they knew they were abusive, because in their minds, they were just being good citizens & trying to raise their children "right". This is how I was finally able to rationalize the physical, verbal, mental/psychological abuse I received as a...

Many years ago, I went through a similar time in my life & what I did is quit. I got sick of the rhetorical phycho babble that medical people & mental health people were bombarding me with & walked naked (alone) back into life without the "help" of the people who were getting paid quite well to...
