    Obsessed..... Obsessed..... Obsessed !!!!!!.........

    I have moments when things seem so much clearer but the rogue thoughts start and they seem to feed on themselves. I get along with my kids real well. It seems most of my family just wear me out. I get along with my ex pretty well considering but I've noticed that whenever I go by her house it...

    Obsessed..... Obsessed..... Obsessed !!!!!!.........

    I'm curbing. It's similar to dumpster diving just without the trespassing. I have been ignoring them. They follow me around normally but when one jumps out of his truck and says he can arrest me gets in my face it takes on a whole new meaning. This issue has caused a lot of stress. My (T)...

    Obsessed..... Obsessed..... Obsessed !!!!!!.........

    I don't want to subject myself but I won't be bullied. My worry is all of the anger I keep bottled up. It's kind of like going fishing and some A$$hole coming along and telling you not to fish in this end of the lake cause they don't want you around. I've been working to find a lawyer to...

    Obsessed..... Obsessed..... Obsessed !!!!!!.........

    Hell deep ain't the word for it. I stay pissed at the world on a regular basis. I keep to myself or at least try too. I have a (T) and I see her tomorrow but that will only help a little. The problem still exists. Problem is the person isn't a family member. They are easier to ignore. I curb...

    Obsessed..... Obsessed..... Obsessed !!!!!!.........

    I'm stressed and obsessed about a situation. I'm really angry and I can't get it out of my mind. Going on two weeks now and it's not really any better. Had someone try to intimidate me. I was and am really frightened. Not of the person but of myself. I'm afraid they may lay hands on me and I...

    Really, Really, Agitated

    I'm still agitated but I sent my issue to a local lawyer who is unique enough that she "might" find it interesting. It is making me feel better just to have done something practical.

    Really, Really, Agitated

    I hate a lot of doctors. Some treat you like a human and can relate. They are sometimes hard to find. The ones who act like their crap don't stink and your a meat Popsicle I deplore. Unfortunately I've worked security at a hospital and I have no problem telling them where to get off. Some are...

    Really, Really, Agitated

    Mary Jane gives me headache but I associate it with drug raids. I get a little tense. I suppose I associate it with the stress of a raid. I guess it's the lack of control. The act of being bullied is distasteful. Normally I'm controlling the situation and I'm uncomfortable with the lack of...

    9/11 Coverage Is Toxic

    I think it will be a few years before she is really presented with the issue. Kids do know something of things going on. They miss very little. I'm probably older than you and we were always worrying about the bomb and the Soviets. I know it scared the crap out of me along with many others...

    9/11 Coverage Is Toxic

    I guess I do agree with them showing it since they disappear each year until the next 9/11. It does help reinforce how dangerous the world is today. I won't get into the conspiracy theories I'll just say your welcome to believe what you wish. I would entertain your theory in a private chat...

    9/11 Coverage Is Toxic

    I've gotten to where I can't watch TV especially the news so I listen to talk radio. I really miss Art Bell. His open lines were always surprising and interesting. I keep a radio on for noise and it's usually news/talk radio. I'm already stressed and all I get this morning is 9/11 coverage. Oy...

    Really, Really, Agitated

    I curb sometimes for scrap, things to repair, Etc. Keeps me busy. It's legal but sometimes you run into security guys who are badge heavy and are rude. This guy tonight got out of his truck and physically confronted me and threatened to have me arrested. Needless to say it took a great deal...

    Paranoia Is My Name Today

    I know if I see something on the news that bothers me I get real jumpy. Therefore I no longer watch the news. I hate the teasers since they pop up during other programs. I almost never watch TV at all. I thought about the idea of the pro con thing Ms. Whitney mentioned. It's not like a being...

    Uncomfortable With Others Pouring It Out.

    I have very little use for the news anymore. Too much if it bleeds it leads. Too many dash cam videos. I just can't watch them anymore. I go into automatic adrenaline rush, then anger, then a complete feeling frustration and helplessness all in about 2 seconds. They are just toxic to me. I...

    Paranoia Is My Name Today

    I noticed I was a little more paranoid a couple of days ago. I'm always vigilant and some of it rubbed off from the job. Sometimes I notice that even my paranoia is stupid. I haven't figured that out. I know when I'm more stressed I get more vigilant. Some of it is just normal situational...

    Uncomfortable With Others Pouring It Out.

    Maybe it's because I'm a guy and it's the Mars vs. Venus thing but I am uncomfortable with folks who share TMI on the forum. I guess it works for them but I like OK not like but the forum format works for me if I work on symptoms. I have told about situations that have scarred me if asked...

    Put Ptsd On Medical Forms?

    I go to the eye doctor Tuesday and on the form it always asks medication, conditions, Etc. It's a dilemma. It feels private to me. I know all the HIPPA laws prevent disclosure but the staff still sees it. I worry about those wandering minds. I could care less about a stranger seeing something...

    Rearranging Deck Chairs On The Titanic

    It doesn't have to be a fight but she's pretty stubborn so that's the way it would end up. I went with a lady who was concerned about some dogs left at a Meth house. I picked up three puppies and didn't ask her but that was kind of an emergency and I passed them along to a rescue group within...

    Rearranging Deck Chairs On The Titanic

    I don't think it's manipulation maybe ornery though but my Mom's always been ornery. I just don't have the heart to fight with her. It's important that she maintain her independence and some kind of control of her life and that gets harder everyday. I want to start a small dog rescue. There...

    Rearranging Deck Chairs On The Titanic

    I tend to isolate from others it keeps my anxiety level down. I don't tend to deal with stupid very well. I've come up with a couple of ideas. It's completely embarrassing but I take care of my 80 year old Mom and it's her house so I am at her mercy. I yield to her to prevent any fights over...

    Rearranging Deck Chairs On The Titanic

    I have been feeling better. I'm working on my blood sugar levels and they are better. I have more energy but alas I have nothing to do with all of this time and the extra energy. I tidy up my shop, I go to the dog park, I tidy up the shop again and again and again. I hope I can find something...

    Uniform.

    Take advantage of any programs your department has. If they don't have any then find something in the private field. You have an advantage many don't have. You were given some insight. Sounds like you are taking it to heart. Unfortunately LEO's have a tendency to be so independent they often...

    Panicking Because Of Neighbor

    It definitely sounds like she has "issues". I've dealt with a lot of street people who have illnesses. I doubt it's personal you just happened to be handy. I do suggest you contact the local LEO on the non emergency number and relay what happened. Ask for a welfare check. Sometimes someone...

    I Believe I Am Part Evil

    OK good...... I'm sorry I'm just misinterpreting your comments. I do find the philosophical angle interesting. Two people grow up with the same stimuli and issues but one becomes a serial killer. I know I've read the histories and personality quirks of a few serial killers and I am stunned...

    I Believe I Am Part Evil

    There has to be somebody on call. I try to keep a safety plan in my head and calling my T is one of them. There are no magic spells to make you better but you can get better. There are over 11,000 Members here who may struggle but it does get better.
