I think your post on the other page would make a perfectly lovely affirmation for you. You said you don't believe any of it, but words are awfully, awfully powerful things. Each of us are walking proof of that if you think about it. We're all pretty much missing body parts as a result of other's...

I'm sorry to be so far behind with this thread Gizmo. Your daughter, grandchildren and you will be in my thoughts and BIG prayers today. More like directives when there's this kind of conversation with God, as in ' HEY now LISTEN YOU! '. So far no lightening bolt, but I'm pretty quick. You...

I'm not sure we ever, ever 'learn' from this. The thing is, it's not a mistake we're making in life- it's the way we're programmed, and born, and function. I still kick myself sometimes, like I'm the idiot and in fact am called 'clueless', and that's the nicest term part of my family uses. Like...

It's been an amazing forum morning for me, gosh. I clicked on this thread thinking it was about a different tangent of this subject and ended up having my thinking torqued all the heck all over the place. The forum ( for me ) can't BE about having my head stuffed up my backside, always looking...

Hi, I love your username! :) Welcome to the forum, please do know that at least one of your concerns is already defeated, promise. You're just plain not alone, in a very real sense. There are fleshy, pink and white and brown and whatever people behind these typed words, it's just that someone...

Hi Lost Jessie, I know exactly the kind of 'company' you work for. They get paid 20 bucks and hour and you get 8? We had one for my father, the workers were wonderful, the head of the company hounded hounded hounded us when we terminated his services. He's still digging out from being turned in...

Funny, you see member's names out in the forum, sometimes read a little of what they're about then they'll haul off and write a blindlingly awesome bit of bio which seems kind of wasted here. ( no offense, you guys know I'm a FAN, right? :) ) I mean it'd be a wonderful synopsis for The Book...

I don't think you're letting yourself off the hook to hang it over on the other hook, the whole chemo-brain thing. SO frustrating, tough to make peace with sometimes, I know. Maybe think of it as your head getting a well-deserved nap, albeit against your wishes. Of course, I spent 2 weeks off...

What IS that, the schmear campaign? I genuinely, truly want to know. It takes a LOT, lot of energy to keep all that hate alive, wake up every, single morning thinking about how best to go 'get' someone. I seriously keep falling over the lies, both old and new. You know, bumping into someone who...

I'm tough, I think. Also was born pretty cheerful, like Gizmo.

I was watching one of those shows where they talk about how to spot a fake FB profile. One of the red flags supposedly? Less than 100 FB friends!! Whoa, what?? I do not WANT 100 friends, if I ever go back there. I gave FB the good, old college try again, found yet more deliberately hurtful...

It's not my post, Cath, so please excuse? You asked for clarity on the whole ' gaming to take what they want '. It's only what I'D take from it based on dealing with these 'people' ( using the term loosely.... ). They set you UP, or whomever it is who stands between them and their abysmal...

Niksgee, I bookmarked that so please do not be alarmed if something shows up somewhere. I don't use the bookmark option enough and it's an awesome tool here. Your post is SO worth re-reading when dealing with these people, thank you! I asked my therapist ( my T ) about this subject, and was I...

Gizmo, I know you can't get out, but do you have any connections with a church? I don't mean for spiritual help. Yes, awfully important but that'd be like that fall-down funny photo I saw on FB. 2 missionary types were looking terribly pleased with themselves while handing what certainly...

Oh, I don't know. Apples and oranges, with physical abuse being an apple hiding an orange inside the core. I'd have to say tougher to spot, although it's a pretty singular physical abuser who doesn't also have the whole psychological warfare poisoned arrows in his lovely arsenol. I take that...

I'm not sure we're always offended so much as it would be unfortunate if someone would say some things. My favorite is " And what are your childrens' birthdates? " Hee. I have FOUR, nice if I can remember mine. I know the d*m things, it's just that they arrive and leave with better regularity...

Once again, someone takes a concept which I would have blah blah blah'd for 3 paragraphs trying to explain and ties it allll up in a neat little package, thank you Abstract! ( Also, Hashi, I'm having some major, major neurological events out here. If it seems like I'm arguing, please know I'm...

My therapist says it's just the way different personality types draw their energy. The extravert really does recharge and revitalize through interacting with others, plugging in and being interested . The introvert requires quiet to recharge, isn't seriously able to contribute very much to the...

Nah, I think folks, especially the genuine extrovert, are too wrapped up in buzzing around and bouncing off of other people to really be offended by quiet people? I'm actually ( true story ) an introvert, happy in my own head for weeks and weeks at a time, hate the bejeesis out of social...

I realize I come across as someone who has a decent handle on this stuff. I do not always, when there's dreck out here the PTSD goes right past 'GO', straight to down the toilet. Pre-forum it was worse. There was a default condition, not pretty, lucky to be here. I mean, I DO have a handle on it...

Please excuse if this thread is upsetting to some people. Please stop reading here and consider this a warning, since the situation involves an awful lot of PTSD genuine triggers, not merely stressors. On the news this morning some of you may already have seen the story of the Alabama bus...

I had no idea, am SO, so sorry! Gosh, flying around so much I don't do that thing any more of paying attention the ' What's New ' option. I'll be thinking of you, sending MUCH Light, Peace and ten times the Healing you've so freely handed out to others. XXOO I THINK I loaded a get-well...

Yes, my head has done that thing where it's checked out on me today. You know what I mean, when the stress thing is too, too TOO huge, mixed in with liberal doses of 'threat' and your head just packs the bags and calls a cab. Anger? Yes. Fortunately am angry at alllll the 'Them's' out there, not...

I had something else written, re-read it and deleted the stupid thing because it just wasn't clear. This is one of those fuzzy days when no matter how much you center, balance, run tools or swear the neurons just refuse to get the h*ll out of the locker room. Swine. Abstract, that was awfully...

I'm finding your writing very clear, your acceptance of the PTSD makes me hopeful. It's not cool to put someone on the proverbial spot, so please excuse one more post in your direction. My son seems to have just poof- put it behind him as if it were no more than a fall from a ladder or some...
