    News No Clue Who To Vote For!

    In the US, Bernie Sanders looks the best of the bunch but he most likely doesn't stand a chance and so, as Ed said, Hillary is the lesser evil. And while no choice was ideal for us this past fall (though I am very happy with my MP and actually honoured that she'll represent my riding in...

    It Feels Like The End Of The Game

    Thanks, all! It's making me feel less alone. It's a little complicated right now for therapy (work related stuff) but I am hoping to have a clearer picture some time next month. As for little things, I decide to try but then back out because I just don't feel like it ...Next couple of months...

    News Statism Or Racism, Which Is Worse?

    And no one has mentioned the economic system that breeds competition and greed...Competition is not necessarily a bad thing always but when you pair it with systemic racism etc. it can have devastating results.

    It Feels Like The End Of The Game

    At this point nothing gives me joy or pleasure and certainly not hope. I've tried to think of things and it's all just coming out ...flat. I feel the years that should have been my best are already behind me and since I have nothing to show for them, I am not likely to any time going forward...

    It Feels Like The End Of The Game

    So, I haven't started a new thread in ages and quite frankly, I'm not sure that this is a good idea but anyway... As the title says, I feel like the end of the game is approaching and nothing is resolved and it looks like it will go to overtime but I have no energy, no will to make it there. I...

    Triggers Not Related To Trauma

    I think I know what you mean. The kinds of things that are maybe remotely related to the trauma or maybe even not related but still trigger some kind of response that takes you back to the trauma? I actually had one recently...I was in a building, going down a stairwell...and it didn't...

    News Mother Teresa

    I have read some very nasty things about her and I am inclined to believe them...even though Hitchens, I feel, went off his rocker a bit at some point. No insights though. I'm guessing you've read pretty much the same kind of things I have.

    What To Never Say To A Ptsd Sufferer

    Ah yes..."Stop overthinking"..."You think too much"..."That's the past"..."Stop being so negative/be more positive"..."You were a child. Your memories can't possibly be correct/must have been at least very distorted" (makes you wonder how anyone remembers anything?)..."It's over now. It's time...

    Something Is Rotten In Denmark

    @Simply Simon All I can say is, hang in there. Sorry I am not much help but I've been at that point...and seem to be sliding back into it too...and it's not fun. I hope you meet with your T and that she's able to help

    Relationship I Had Enough And Took A Break, In 2 Weeks He's Been With 2 People

    Hang in there @Becksnox...He is a douche. Unfortunately, with these things, it's that "if s/he does it once, s/he'll do it again"...You were more than fair in giving him another chance. You deserve better. Just as a side, I have a friend who's with a guy who *probably* cheats on her...messes...

    What If You Don't Really Mean Anything To Anyone?

    Great thread. I honestly don't know...I can relate on many levels. Sometimes people just don't get me and this isn't even PTSD related...and normally, I don't really care...but then there are those times when I wonder...what if someone did? But the lack of trust etc also messes with me and I...

    News Donald Trump's Popularity To Date

    To be honest all of them, at least on the Republican side, are scary. With so many idiots like Trump, Santorum et al. Jeb Bush starts to look/sound sane (is that the strategy? One has to wonder)...I'm guessing he will win the Republican nomination in the end and then win or "win" in 2016. Sad...

    Old Friends

    Hi. I think you've done what was on you - you've apologized for your actions and your part in the whole mess and you've reached out in an effort to revive the friendship. It seems the rest is up to her. She can't just go demanding you do this or that without acknowledging her part in it too...

    So we have a final 8 and it looks like this: USA vs China; Germany vs France; Australia vs Japan; and England vs Canada...All of these teams are tough and any of them could make the final four and beyond...

    Feeling Useless, Pathetic, Like A Burden...

    I go through this...or similar...all the time. Unfortunately, I have no words of wisdom. It's not so much being ignored (in my case)...but I do feel like a waste of oxygen etc. I feel like I can't contribute anything meaningful and I'm getting old and haven't done anything...And yes, a sense...

    2015 Women's World Cup Football/soccer

    So, there's this little event happening in Canada this month (to July 5). Just wondering if anyone else is following? It's obviously not as big as the men's version but there is certainly high quality of play and not nearly as much drama and fake injuries as in the men's game. I am impressed...
