If it makes you feel any better...at this very moment, I have my boss' car keys. Thankfully, he has a spare set, and his car is much older than mine, so can't even muse I had a mind to steal it. lol But yeah, stuff like this happens to me ALL the time. I put things in places they don't...

Jellybean is such a cute name!!! Yeah, I can't even imagine, but it really sounds like you have an amazing guy on your hands there. I can completely understand wanting to wait until your kids are 18 before getting married. You have been though *enough* and even with absolutely no risk of him...

I'm sorry to jump on the bandwagon! But I have to agree...saying your bf is your counselor, but then going on to say he had no understanding of depression or what you're going through, and after so many years, has never even been exposed to what you are like when you are going through a...

I think so too... like, crazily enough, the guy I actually ended up marrying started off as a one-night stand. Did not at all expect I would see him again, I actually couldn't even remember his name (yes, I know thats bad...) But of the two long term relationships I've had since then, I waited...

That is pretty sweet @RussH ...!!! But yeah, definitely a sign of young love. I cannot imagine adults getting engaged before even considering each other as a romantic partner. We cannot turn back the clock and be able to do that, so those of us who are further along in life are sort of stuck...

You know @blue_eyes18 ... reading through your response, definitely brought back a lot of what I was feeling during my breakup... and honestly, I hope to not ever feel that way or be in a relationship like that again. @Junebug is totally right, I really am coming from a place of "save...

Wait..you got engaged, then you went on your first date? I was like awe! then that part confused me lol!! But yeah, Ive heard of successful relationships starting that way. But then also, college is the easiest (?!) time Ive heard to meet someone in comparison to later in life, because you are...

On timelines: consider when you are going through a moment. Would you be able to give someone a timeline for when you will be okay again? Personally speaking, when I'm having a moment it can last a few minutes up to several months. The more pressure I get to decide on when I will be all good...

To play devils advocate.... you need her for closure, while it seems she needs space for closure. Cant do both at one time, so in a way you are asking her not to do what she needs so that you can have what you need... while she is refusing you your need so that she can have what she needs...

You all live in some beautiful places! Here is one kiddo took in the car awhile ago... Sorry its blurry!

Sometimes its not easy... especially on forum where we don't have inflection of tone or mannerisms to help us out, all stuff that guides us when pulling together someones intent and deciding how to respond. A thing I heard someone say that I have been trying to keep in mind, is if something can...

...and more strip clubs than churches...or is that only So Fla? LOL!!! Definitely true though, people are surprised when I say Disney is 4.5 hrs drive from me. At which point I advice them to look at a map of FL...its a huge state!

I think so...I can kind of see where you are coming from. I think though that @justmeheres advice for her to go to therapy to get diagnosed is a good one since at this point its just a matter of her coming here asking if she has PTSD, she hasn't been diagnosed, so maybe its not fair to strongly...

Too many of us would want to join you on the island, and the hilarity is, we'd all still feel like the odd one out and want to find an island of our own. ;)

From the outside looking in, it sounds like good things are happening there. Being aware now of how disorganized things were before means that now it can be fixed. That's really unfortunate that your boss had to go, but it seems like they made a sound decision to lose one person instead of the...

Here's another one lol Just because I live in Miami, does not mean I live in South Beach. SoBe is actually a little island off to the side of Miami, and not a part of Miami City proper. Also, everyone in Miami isnt a hot model. LoL!! I've heard people say they are intimidated by that, but no...

I don't think anyone was comparing PTSD to any other mental illness, I tried to read back over everything but didn't notice anyone saying it was worse than having anything else. Just that..in and of itself, @Justmehere described it as hellish, I'd guess based on her experience, and I would say...

Not only are you not alone... I'm feeling this way myself right now. It's not a good feeling at all.

Before I was diagnosed, I came across info about PTSD, saw some similarities to what I was going through, and right off dismissed that I could have it because for one, I was trying to stay in denial of what happened to me...and for two, I did not want PTSD. I actually talked myself out of most...

@SeanGeo - I never guessed there would be mosquitoes in Alaska!!!! Now I know... :D @Go Hungry - I visited Nashville for the first time last year...yup, I was surprised with the lack of cowboy hats and boots lol But I have to say, every single person I came across there was incredibly nice and...

My family is Jamaican...we dont smoke weed and no one in my family is rasta. My family, like the majority of Jamaicans are conservative, protestant, and carry on with British customs. That seems to genuinely surprise people, cause that's not what you see on tv and movies!!! LoL

I don't much like celebrating my birthday, and usually get pretty difficult when it's coming up... mostly because it brings to the top of my mind my mortality, that I am here, that if it wasn't for me being born, everyone would have a much better life without me around. I try not to think of...

* As I try to say whenever I try to explain something to my understanding, but may be completely and totally wrong...for anyone who knows any better, if I am completely wrong about this, don't hesitate to set me right!! :) ** My understanding as far as death, is not death in and of itself, or...

Hello and welcome..! I have major depressive disorder, so I'm right there with you. You'll find some great info, and an awesome community around here :)

Really am sorry to hear you are going through this...I went through something similar with my ex when we broke up about 4 years ago. It's true, this event in and of itself would not cause PTSD. Finding out about an affair is devastating for sure, but not the fear based trauma of PTSD...
