He sounds charming. Possibly being kind of happy you're NOT the one he goes home to would be helpful. I'm guessing internet dating has been a God-send for this twerp, huh? Bet a bazillion bucks so has on-line shopping because before it's advent it was pretty embaressing for the guy shopping for...

Gosh gosh gosh yes, agree SO much with all of the above. This should be in the ' Success Stories ' thread. You described exactly how tough it IS, fighting through this dreck, the unreasonable condition of one's head, how it's much more than an impulse, it's a series of lies your head keeps...

Hi JSKarma, Goodvibes back. Welcome here. I actually clicked on your story a little bit hoping it would be my son finally wandering into this place. He was mugged at gunpoint a few years ago, I think some testosterone poisoning is acting as a preventative in his seeking help at the moment. I'm...

It's 2013?

Oh, well you're welcome. The thing is, everyone tends to be different so it's always tough kind of saying ' Do THIS'. Plus, reading here I see I'm hugely behind the current wave on therapy technique, as in what's new in the field. Sometimes the new stuff is truly the next step up, sometimes it's...

It's not all that random. You know you have PTSD when your friends look at you funny. Or maybe they do, do they? Possibly they do, or not, wait a minute is that a twitch or disgust, maybe they just have gas and you're making the whole thing up in your head? Maybe our friends are just all funny...

I hate to be intrusive when you guys have such a good back and forth going on, please excuse if it feel that way. It's been awhile since I had to work with this, not that it's not an issue, it's because this would be one of those things which has been around for so long that when it shows the...

Well at least you have an excuse AND are in the correct month. I had the kitchen calendar turned to February apparently since it was taken out of the box. It was discovered last week when an appointment needed to be written in for the 31st... . There's a bright side to everything, Froggie! :happy:

Nice to see you, too a3a2. You know you have PTSD when you have to scroll to the top of the page to see which comes first, the 3 or the 2, geesh! You've been here forever, as have I. With breaks. There have been a bazillion discussions on 'How Long To Stay On The Forum'. I remember feeling SO...

When you can come here and say hee- it happened again.... Yesterday in the grocery store, a VERY nice woman who didn't even look familar said " Ohhhh, I thought it was you guys, my goodness, is this your son? He's so big, bet he doesn't remember me! " Nope, that was true. Son was looking goofy...

Yes, I have a sister who I've now heard has been helpfully filling in folks that I'm crazy. Nice. She actually does know what's up, I think is just kind of happy to throw me under the bus as a kind of hobby. Since we both live in the same area, you get to recognize the folks who expect you to...

It's tough to remain negative, or paniced, or anxious if you replay some of those moments from the past. God knows we're REALLY good at the whole letting-our-imaginations-run-amuck things. Ok, we're awesome at it, the problem being that it always, always has a negative spin which always, always...

Sounds too mushy to be true, swear it is true. I remember the first time I saw every, single one of my 4 children. That started because my eldest was born with no life, he shouldn't BE here, long story. I didn't see him until Neo Natal Intensive Care Unit. Anyway, made an in-my-head picture of...

Ohhh my goodness Sheila, that is hysterical, and do not mean to make light of your Yankee Ship in Southern waters. My terrifying Yankee matron of a great aunt once moved to Virginia, bought a house, lasted 6 months and came HOME. She said everyone was still fighting the Wayah of Northern...

Have you tried graham crackers? I do not have your chemo, gosh, but whenever they bump the Rheumatoid- Arthritis- dose methotrexate up, my system goes into some serious objectioning. No idea why graham is good, seems to not just stay down but also helps. Lighting a candle in my head for you...

That's awfully, awfully kind of you, Whitney! Thank you very much. For some reason, I'll get into these programs and my head just keeps going down the wrong path, you know? No matter what I try- POOF- all sense is GONE. I DO think most of us really can figure most of this stuff out, given time...

I think the methotrexates, etc. can fry your skin. I'm a pin-cushion, full of holes so have a ton of sun-screen and look like a greaseball some days. LOVE the jogging, keeps me balanced, quite literally, so it's in issue. Have to finally toss the real cigarettes, rely solely on my e-cinnamin (...

Took the Giant Sequia Christmas tree down yesterday without booing for the entire day, first Christmas without Dad in the past now.

I am having zero luck fooling around with photo shop programs by myself. The thing is, I'd like to keep my Kimmie doll as my avatar. I see most have begun to use something else for now, which is of course cool but mine is pretty symbolic for me- means a HUGE, big deal, was extraordinarily...

I'm glad you were able to come back, embarr. I remember it was tough tough tough for me- I SOOOO wanted to, but have awful avoidance so nearly did not make it. Loggin in here every, single day has helped with that a TON. Almostttt gave myself a poorly constructed 'out' at one point, like a big...

Yes, she is.

Heeee, yes, but when we chicks ride to the rescue, which is most of the time, we're being Nurturers, whihch seems a little unfair since no one provides us with that nice, white horse. Just crocheted pot-holders for the chicken soup. I like his post-game summation, as it were, Amethist. I...

I've posted this before, but as kind of a letter from the Other Side, here's something weird. Ever hear about a bomb-proof horse? It's the one everyone goes to look for when they're buying one for their beginner- doesn't flick and eyebrow come hell, high-water or the occasional dragon in the...

Funny, I voted that it doesn't matter, and it really doesn't for me for any male/female reasons. I HAVE a male therapist because the only 2 females I've encountered in 30 years were both just awful. Coincidence, yes, but enough to have set up the aversion in my head. Hee- ONE, I loved, she was...

The Really Annoying kind.
