A froggy for froggie!

I feel such a jumble of emotions right now. I feel like such a coward and vulnerable. I just got back to find out I have 2 deformed patellas and splintering of my bone inside my knee cap from all the wear. The Dr said we will try physical therapy but doubts it will work and that we should...

I feel embarrassed, vulnerable, terrified, triggered. My visit to the Dr. today was not a good one...it completely messed up my day and quite possibly week...

Thank you =]

I never used to care about gender Sandra but after my trauma I don't trust any men except my husband. I hope things get better with your physician though. Thank you Junebug. I'm hoping this will be an easy fix

Haha Jacquie you made me laugh. I don't like doctors because of the invasion of personal and intimate space along with the fact I know I wasn't a healthy child and I am always scared if I go they are gonna find another thing wrong with me. If it was a female doctor I wouldn't mind as much but...

Thank you Rain. I will definitely try your idea. I currently have a special pendant being made for me for a similar reason. I hope this works. Your thoughts and well wishes help a lot. Thank you again.

So I've had knee problems since I was about 8 years old and every doctor blew it off as "growing pains". Well I am now about halfway into my 20s and the pain sure has been growing to an unbearable point. I have alway been terrified of doctors since I was never a healthy baby/child so my nerves...

Welcome back!!! *hugs*

No matter the dream or nightmare they are always in vivid color. They happen to be very realistic most of the time and I've often had difficulty distinguishing between reality and dream after I woke up.

I am feeling -annoyed -angry -exhausted -in physical pain -unsure

What didn't make me angry today? -My oblivious co workers for booking me way too many dogs than possible to groom within my hours. -My knees for not allowing me to sleep the past few nights. -A customer who lied to get a free grooming and almost getting me in trouble because of her lie -The dogs...

My abuser was a person who I had known for years and was considered to be a friend. He seemed fine up until the moment he raped me. He feels no guilt and feels what he did was fine.

I chose other because it depends on where I am and who I'm with that will determine if I am scared or not. If I am in a familiar place like my home or my parent's home or my in-laws or a good friends then I am completely fine even if I am alone in any of those places. If I am outside in the dark...

Welcome Jo. While my trauma isn't exactly the same as yours, in some aspects there are similarities and I know some of what you are going through. Once you take the initiative to help yourself, you can only go up from there. Despite how difficult and impossible it seems, you can heal. I recently...

Today I went and made my favorite chocolate chip cookies from my personal recipe. The smell of them is therapeutic as is eating them =]

Now I'm not saying that it wasn't a terrible thing that happened and that we shouldn't pay respects to the people who perished that day but I find it very cruel that the media and other sources replay footage from it constantly. I know as a PTSD sufferer if someone kept showing me replays of my...

You welcome Mercy =] IMMD when the sun decided to poke out and I was able to go take some pictures at the park =]

IMMD to only have 1 dog to groom and get to take all the puppies we have for sale out and watch them play and play with them.

Absolutely lazy as heck. It's pouring out and all I want to do is open all the windows and lay in bed and listen to the rain. I have a mountain of dishes that need to be washed but I think I will leave that chore to my husband today lol

I chose Flashbacks. To me they are the worst because all it takes is a fraction of a second of a flashback or intrusive thought to send me spiraling down into depression, anxiety/panic attacks, stress, and all these other symptoms.

Tired, and feeling like a bit of a failure.

Feeling relaxed and well rested.

Thank you all for the well wishes and hugs everyone. I feel much better now that I've landed and gotten a good night's rest.

Absolutely and utterly terrified. I am feeling like I am on the border of one of my most severe panic attacks yet. My husband's job is shipping us out to California last minute for the weekend due to this hurricane coming. There is no word to describe the amount of fear I have when it comes to...
