I am an amazing man. I have been through hell. I have seen a side of human nature so dark most people cannot even comprehend it let alone accept it. I have had unbelievable amounts of pain in my life and have met it all with bravery courage kindness and love. No one can hurt me enough to make me...

Parents hate their kids because they hate themselves, and are weak. We can't see that because when we are children and they are adults they seem so strong, as gods of our universe almost, but only very weak unhappy people abuse others, especially their own kids. Suffering their abuse sucks, but...

I'm pretty sure no matter what relationships I form with people or animals in the future I will miss my dog till the day I die. I feel so lucky to have been able to share the last half of his life with him. Despite all I've been through I consider myself extremely lucky just to share the bond we...

I guess it depends what you define as friends. I'd hang out and share activities with lots of people, even people I know have obvious flaws, including liars, drug users, road ragers, etc. Many of those things have little effect on me and most people can only hurt me as much as I let them. As...

Uhhh. You didnt do anything that made him feel unsafe though. You didnt bring a lack of safety. You just pointed out existing conditions. Maybe point out to him that if he feels safe with you, and the outside doors are locked, not having a door to his room doesnt actually create a lack of...

You've been a good friend. He just has lots of issues. Its not your fault. This sounds callous but he moved into a place he doesnt feel safe, and now has to deal with the consequences. I have made the same mistake. Beating yourself up about it will do no good. Try and help effect a solution but...

Because the truth is most people are bitter unhappy creatures who would rather judge than empathize. They have more in common with the mindset of a killer than they care to admit so they use news of horrible events to pat themselves on the back and reassure themselves they are good people by...

OH you HAVE to do yoga. IT WILL get your brain to be quiet!!!! I started a thread about how yoga was helping me be emotionally present and more mindful. I don't know what kind of painyou have. Some pain, like muscle soreness, just needs to be pushed through and actually becomes enjoyable after a...

Love your post willy kat. Its a great feeling when you can start to laugh at the hell you have been through.

Those are excuses but thats ok, they are also reasons. I am going to say though that most of what stands in your way for these things seems to be mental. You say you arent good at physical things, that youre clumsy, but thats just because you probably gave up instead of making yourself learn. I...

I'm posting a lot in this thread, not trying to dominate the conversation, but I have to say, the media doesnt help with anything any more. They used to hold government accountable by keeping people informed but now they just seem to tell stupid people what to think and believe.

I think its also important to remind ourselves that just because someone else doesn't have PTSD (that you know of) doesn't mean you can expect perfection from them. Everyone is struggling to figure out how to live their lives and treat others. Its hard. There are no instructions and very few...

There was another thread that brought up some of these same points a while ago. I think its was called 'how to you tell someone you have ptsd' or something like that. I remember posting in it to say that perhaps you dont need to tell people you have PTSD. If you mention your diagnosis first...

Yea Phillipa, about comfort, I'm not sure I'm the best person to speak about its usefulness. I've never really had anyone be there for me or comfort me in any way in my in my life. A little bit here and there but really not much at all. Perhaps if I had supporting caring parents I might feel...

People learn better social skills when they get negative social feedback. Give them a look like "wow are you really that freaking stupid' Sounds mean but thats how people learn. They sound kind of immature.

I am so sorry for your loss. If his hand was on the gun but it never left the holster, and he had declared he was suicidal, and not threatened anyone, I think you should probably sue. It will not bring your husband back, but will maybe net you a little bit of money. More importantly it will hold...

I think if you're going to reach out for help or support on facebook, it's best to choose a single person you think will be receptive and supportive and send them a private message. I've actually reached out to a couple people I haven't seen in years and may never see again and they were...

I wish I could like your last post more than just once Philippa. Lotta truth in that little post. And yea, I do have a lot of talents/abilities besides self examination.

I didn't mean any disrespect, I am sorry. I shouldnt of said that.

Juggling, knife throwing, firearms, video games, 5 finger fillet, etc. Sorry if this is rude, but if you look for excuses you will find them. I'm sorry you're in a wheel chair, but thats your life, make the best of it. Its not my job to think up healthy ways for you to let out your stress and to...

Both I guess. I don't think I'm unwantable. I think if I started going to bars to pick up girls I'd eventually be able to bring one home but that isnt going to be conducive to me being comfortable and getting over my issues. I also think even without the ptsd that not many women would be into...

I'm 27 and nope, never had a relationship, neither romantic or a close friend to talk to.Maybe never will. I'dlike to, but I'm starting to get over it.

Thanks for the support, but I just want to say NO I"M NOT!!! I am so scared to succeed at anything. I hate this. I'm so mean to myself and I don't deserve it. I want to believe I can change but I just don't know. I've always been good at analyzing myself but past that, I pretty much suck at things.

I found an interesting article about this. http://notsalmon.com/2012/10/17/why-people-self-sabotage-their-happiness/#.USolD0l1_uk.facebook Im thinking back to a few years ago. I think three or four years ago I met a young woman on top of a mountain that we had both hiked up. I approached her...

Most of my facebook friends aren't people I actually will talk to, but they are people I knew in the past and had enough genuine affection and good will for that I just want to keep in some sort of touch with and just see how they are doing in their lives and what they are up to. I also am...
