I'm am delighted to say, nothing has made me angry today. . .knocking on wood.

Conflicted

Samson, Great to hear that your supervisors are helping and understanding. I've been lucky in that regard, too. I am curious about what advice your T gave you that is helping with the day-to-day interactions. I am in a similar situation although the co-worker who triggers me is doing...

A lot of what I work on with t is negative and unreasonable self-talk. I'm wondering if there is interest in a thread where we share some of the unreasonable things we tell ourselves, to help others who may be telling themselves the same kind of things, support each other and, hopefully, be...

I deserve humor.

My freezes happen in a couple different ways. The first type actually just happened a couple times as I was typing this. Sometimes my hands/upper arms, sometimes my whole body will just kinda 'pause' in whatever position it is in for a few seconds to a minute. The other type is more major...

I got both the shiver/twitches and the freezing. Sometimes they are accompanied by visuals or smells. . .and occasionally, by fear or anger. I see mine as a kind of exposure therapy. It's seems to be like my body is trying to relive something, but the something can't quite make it fully into...

If the commission actually makes an impact, I have just one word. Amen.

"You really have so much going for you." Yep, you're right. I shoulda been Einstein and Ghandi. I'll start working on that soon. . .right after I stop dreaming about curling up in the closet behind those wonderfully disguising, hanging clothes so you all won't find me.

I deserve to find that quiet place inside a lot more often.

A Boy And His Dog

Nadia, I think you hit the nail on the head. This summer, the Jehovah Witnesses released a short series of videos on how to be a 'proper' Christian parent. When I watched one, a lot of childhood stuff came back to me. In the videos, every time the child misbehaved, the parents were shown...

Struggling with this right now. Sometimes it seems that fighting is all I know how to do. Both when my brain is relatively healthy and when I'm symptomatic, my brain is telling me that I need to leave my job and find something healthier to do. But, I really don't know how to stop fighting to...

Just me here, I'll see if I can come up with any clever ones. If you protect a molester, you are a molester. (Maybe with a half-tone picture of Paterno or the Pope behind it) God offered me eternal life as long as I behaved. . .I am Spartacus. I prayed to be shown the way, I left religion the...

Orglethorp, Great list. Thank You.

In college, I self-treated with psychedelics (LSD, mushrooms) about four times a year. They were successful in reducing symptoms for weeks at a time. Just mentioning that because I think the MDMA research has a very favorable chance of proving effective and is nothing for PTSD sufferers to...

October 11th --- Hi all, need to average a tad under 800 posts a day to make it

LC23, Thanks for breaking down Alien/Aliens the way you did. Those movies have always had a fascination for me and I think you have explained why in your OP. We actually named one of our kids Ripley. :) The Fisher King is amazing. Both major characters experience a severely traumatic event and...

T gave me an assignment to try to figure stuff I like to do. My goal today is to make a list. . .which is very hard, cause I don't really know anymore.

Mine mostly comes out when I see someone being bullied. Too often, I get involved and try to back the bully down, whether it is a parent bullying a kid in the grocery store or someone being too aggressive at the local watering hole. It never has gotten physical. . .my rage-induced...

I am feeling tired and scared, I think. I don't think I'm going to be able to keep working for much longer unless something changes.

I deserve to figure out what I want to do rather than what I have to do.

Love this feature!!

A kinda silly one. . .I deserve to win my flag football league's championship this year. :)
