    Disabled Working Adult -definition?

    The healthcare system is very complicated and some severe changes are probably in the future with healthcare. I have seen healthcare plummeting in my home country in the last 40 years. What used to be a country with excellent healthcare, now it is merely a shadow of what it used to be. I see...

    Anyone Here That Can Comment On Anger Management?

    Dealing with anger issues is frustrating, even though anger is justified it actually hurts the patient. Town of no shame, yep got that right, worse than monkeys in the zoo. People in general are going down the evolution scale in a hurry. I know that I am a lot happier without the people (trash...

    Cutting Ties With Family

    Agree with scout. I am from Europe and there is no way I would move there, the instability of NATO, the strive between European countries would place anyone into an insecure position, especially a mom caring for her child. I order items from Amazon all the time, savings in gas, not traveling to...

    Really hurting - friend doesn’t believe my “stories”

    You will have to take inventory and evaluate everyone that has the chance to get close to you. That is what I have learned. After being stalked at the workplace I was harassed by additional criminals that joined the stalker. They pretended they were stalked, beaten, and raped and experienced...

    C Ptsd

    I don't see it as running, rather as being very careful. Also, I cherish my personal freedoms a lot. Therefore only someone that is really smart, someone that is really dedicated, someone that really cares and proves it could ever get there. That rules out 99.99 percent of the population. And...

    Dom Violence 10 Years Off Hell

    Yes, and additionally they try to use anyone that has the ability to get close to you to continue to stalk you. Just because you do not see the stalker does not mean that he is not stalking you.

    Relationship Im So Confused And Hurt

    Well, it sounds like matters need to be clarified. To me it seems this person may not be honest with himself, he wants the cake and eat it too.

    Too Much Therapy/feeling Overwhelmed

    What Constitutes A Crisis?

    Crisis to me is when the patient spirals out of a healthy way of life, panicking to the point of not being able to make sound decisions. A patient can be in a crisis without noticing it first and then when a critical life moment appears can be in dire straits because the crisis will prevent the...

    What Do You Call This?

    Agreed, the description is off, or there are many different symptoms that are giving the patient trouble at one time. Disassociation seems different to me, the constant thoughts in that description would point more to repeating of the fears a PTSD patient might be experiencing. The background...

    My T Was A No Show For Second Emdr

    I always wondered about that too, using skype could introduce a lot more flexibility, however then payment options should also be given online, so that the patient can sign up for the skype session and pay online. However, there are only so many days in the week and only so many hours in the...

    Abuser Died. How Long Will Others Sing His Praises On Facebook?

    Most family members will never admit anything was wrong. I can not understand that, can not understand that my brother does not want to listen when I try to tell him what a monster his father is. But that is water under the bridge.....

    Super Frustrated...

    It is not easy for a professor in todays world. That professor may get attacked and is aware that he might get hurt. I work in a place where high schoolers stop by after school. They are loud, brash, hurtful, and show no empathy towards others, they band together in groups and I would not...

    Busy airports are a major trigger

    Crowds are the worst for a ptsd sufferer, hate it. People are way too nosy, want to always yap with someone about something. At home I love my peace, prefer to talk about things that really matter. Most people will yap all day long about crap that is not important. So not interested in the...

    What Do You Need In This Moment?

    Yeah, same here, need a real police officer that has the guts to corral all the looser prostitutes out of the apartment community where I live, and cite the property owners for aiding and abetting a looser prostitution ring here. You should see these loosers and their clients, have never seen so...

    Being Bitter Towards Men

    I am not bitter against a particular gender, but towards their actions, especially if such actions are calculated. I have bad experiences with both genders and have to say the U.S. is just one screwey country, sorry that is how it is. Growing up in Europe people just behaved totally different...

    Relationships With Two Sufferers

    I think something like that can be solved through honest discussion. Just seems to me that a lot of people don't communicate that well in relationships, but that is one thing that can be fixed easily.

    Childhood Dealing With Anxiety Because My Abuser's Children Want To Know Me

    Anything that makes you uneasy you have the right to stop. In your situation it would be understandable. Perhaps you can cite family differences rooted in the past that will not allow you to communicate with them. It may at first be a shock to them, but it is just better to let them know right...
