    Awkward Rescheduling

    This would make me feel bad, too. Like here I am discussing serious stuff and she is squeezing me in between haircuts and fun. That is just me.

    Are Adults Behaving More Immaturely In General

    Hard to tell, indeed. On one hand, people are always smiling and polite. I must say. But we also lack reason these days more than ever. I think the internet has made us different. Not worse or better. Just different in the same way the written word made us different when it first came about. It...

    "coming Out" With Your Ptsd

    I like to ask myself how much I know about the other people I am with. If nothing, then they need to know nothing about my situation. Chances are they DO have their own stuff and are not talking. I always end up telling more than I want because of that pull to be honest and "be myself". I AM...

    Other Tbi on top of ptsd

    Hi. For those who are following my car accident, well, I started to have trouble remembering faces and got lost all the time and headaches from hell and memory issues and all sorts of things. Finally saw Dr who said I have TBI. Neurocog testing next. I feel bad. I needed my brain. I am...

    Really Shaken Up

    I am sure it will not cost too much! And the fact that you are OK and got to your baby? MOMMA KUDOS TO YOU!! If anyone on this world would for a second think they they would not have torn the sH*(&t out of that door to get tho their crying baby, well, I would like to know what kind of monster...

    What If It's Not In The Past? Chronic Stress Factors

    Lost. Your posts did not seem too graphic to me at all. I agree with Ragdoll. One person's trigger is another person's reason to keep fighting. You are one of the fighters I respect most on here because you are so honest and yet always reaching out to others. Even when you are in a bad mood...

    It Was "like" A Cult...but It Wasn't A Cult

    This sounds very very much like something I know about, sadly. PM me if you like.

    Selective Mutism....but I Am An Adult.

    Thank you for the replies! No, I am not seeing a T. I have one, but she is where I lived before the accident. She has checked in but I have not told her about any of this. It will be long term because of the injuries to my face. When they do surgery, it will affect my speech. I wlil be able to...

    Lying In Therapy

    I totally understand. Whenever I leave my house I am lying. At my T I just did not disclose a lot but then wrote her a letter she read IN SESSION. It was important she read it while I was there. We discussed it and it was over. No big deal to a good T. She knows you feel vulnerable. She will...

    Selective Mutism....but I Am An Adult.

    Something odd has happened to me. If you have been following my threads, here is back story. A LOT of early trauma and abuse, displacement, illnesses and disability. (i.e. my life has been hell) In Jan I had a serious car accident with lots of injuries, and some to the face. These resulted in...

    General Feelings Of Anger After Session

    This happens to me, too. I am angry at myself when it happens for letting someone else in. I am terribly vulnerable and always end up getting hurt while they dance off into the sunset with their lives.

    Guns

    There are some very strong dog sprays cops use. They cost about $45. They will take down a bear. You might look into that if you hate guns.

    Totally Lost My Ability To Look After Myself

    Yes. I was ok till I had an accident in Jan. Since then? Hell. My parents have told me they cannot help me because now it is too much and they are old. I understand. I knew this would happen. So yes, I understand. I hope you find help here. I know it helps me to feel comfort .

    Does anyone else feel like a fraud sometimes?

    i feel this way because I act different around people I share with. Very much like a kid. Then I get all weirded out and it falls apart.

    In A Vacuum

    Those words mean a lot. You are right when you say there is not shame in reducing your accomplisments to getting food! I have a hard time reducing toxic people because I am so desperate to not be alone right now. No one is hitting on me or anything but just being around people when I am in such...

    In A Vacuum

    For those who have been following my posts, you know on the 11th things got really bad and I almost checked out. Then I wandered around in a daze Tues and Wed. asking God for even one kind soul to help me. He sent me St Augustine who is beseaching the violated women not to kill themselves...

    Relationship It's Over, I'm Done

    I know you love him but you have to do what you have to for you and your kids. I have PTSD, not a care-er but it makes me cringe (more than cringe, it makes me hate myself) when I think what I do to the people who love me. He must know that he is doing it, too, and I feel compassion for you...

    Pain On Top Of Ptsd

    At Therapy Today ... T Confidentiality

    Very scary. It makes me less trustful of T's. I am sorry. It just does. Reporting does not solve a psychpath. It makes it worse. I was in DV and when it was reported (not by a T but it got on news and I am not even the one who got it on the news. I wanted it quiet!) well THEN all went to hell...

    How Do You Dress For T?

    Totally! This is a good topic and one I am thinking about. Why do we do this?? I think I do it not to confuse her. If I am myself I confuse people and they run away. I don't want to confuse her so I try to be so out of the norm consistent which is not me.

    Hospitalization

    OMG I hate that. I know she was trying to be nice, but when people say that to me it makes me sick to my stomach. When people say that to me I now say, "You're right. You wouldn't"

    Pain On Top Of Ptsd

    I wonder if we heal differently because of the PTSD ? The airbag injuires I have are stupidly "rare" which just pisses me off. But I notice that even after pap smears and blood tests ("easy stuff") I suffer a lot longer or have reactions.
