    Very Sad And Confused...

    I love the ocean and sea. Yet it can be unforgiving place. Plus you help a lot of people here. :hug: But if you ever need to escape. Consider going to a port city. Never done it, but read about it. You can transport on cargo ship. Far safer than a raft. Even if just for a short summer trip to...

    Very Sad And Confused...

    Thank you for support. Never been told this before. I just hope it was just property manager getting home late, and hearing me since we live on same floor (and he is a good guy.) I don't want neighbors to think I'm a freak or dangerous! I hoping he was just concerned, and being discrete...

    Very Sad And Confused...

    I slept late very late...miss called, and several text messages from property manager 4am. Making sure I am "ok" because he got message about "screams" from apartment, and I live alone. Had to apologize, admit PTSD and nightmares :( Probably nightmares, but could be D.I.D again.....

    @Muzikluvr posted if a different thread. Yet I can't get out of my head. Don't judge, or comment, unless you watch entire video. Republican, Democratic, or Independent - doesn't really matter. Why are we letting our country go down hill so fast. Anyone who knows some history knows faster they...

    Melatonin , Trazodone , And Elavil

    - Melatonin didn't help me. - Trazodone helped for several months, and was very grateful. Then stopped, and I wouldn't increase dosage. But everyone is different. If Melatonin helps you go for it.

Even if from another airline or security guard. -I like noise reducing ear plugs for music/podcast (not the...

    Childhood Justified Child Abuse..?

    My brother told me he use to be told as child by our father, "he was a child of Satan." He'd f**king beat the hell out of him. Chasing him around. Beating him more, and more! Just brought back flashbacks. Most I don't remember - nor want to. Father is also in a religious cult. These people can...

    How Did You Sleep Last Night?

    I've gone from barely sleeping to too much sleep past couple days --- if you want to call it sleep. Waking-up feeling more exhausted than before, and it looks like a tornado hit my bed. Even mattress pad was undone... uh... Obviously wasn't a good night at all.
