Yeah, friends and money don't mix. If one involves money things can get nasty really quick. To offer someone friendship without involving money, rather just sharing favors like babysitting, fixing things, running errands sounds a lot better to me.

Heck, a move can put Anyone in a very stressful place. Try to fit in personal therapy sessions, where you practice meditation in between tasks that have to be done. You guys need to calm down a little inbetween all of these stressful situations.

Well, one response would most likely to be to just allow each other to breathe. I know that when I am triggered it just takes time to get out of that trigger. I can also imagine very well that even if a person means well that triggers can happen despite that. PTSD is very very complicated. I...

Well, correct me if I am wrong, you are merely searching for good people to communicate with and you are wondering if its worth your time to continue to communicate with this person that you described? Our society is chock full of sociopaths and we have to be extremely careful when...

Nope, that kind of behavior just outrages me, because those are some very ill and disturbing people that do that.

Oh boy, I know exactly how you feel. When I was first thrown into the throngs of PTSD my parenting suffered tremendously. Fear of not treating my son how he deserved to be treated was crushing. I know due to my PTSD the parenting suffered. I was so ill I could not even explain to my son what...

Well, it is a well known fact that predators like to brag about their criminal acts, depicting their victims as willing subjects and will go to great length to hurt the victims like that. Every time you think about the pictures you will most likely have to ground yourself. The acts went against...

Sh.., I mean heck yeah I feel like that, couldn't care less really. I know it is a part of PTSD and during those times I already know that my brain is not functioning correctly, transported into a world at those times where no one can reach me. I relish those times, sounds weird, I know.

Welcome, you will find we are a bunch of people you can pretty much tell anything to. That is the beautiful thing about this forum, no fear, we all love to help each other. I too have to limit the stimulus that is forced onto me in my life. However when I am home I decide which stimulus is...

Yeah, that is a common symptom of PTSD, it is a very tough phase that surfaces and then recedes. When someone first gets PTSD it is the toughest because then there is constant confusion, fright and fear. But that does get better when the brain begins to heal and it is so wonderful when the phase...

You might want to ask if it is ok to put office plants on that ledge. At least you would have something nice to look at and who could argue with a couple of office plants?

Your statement reminds of the anger phases of PTSD, used to listen to such music myself, but as time went by and I got healthier I was able to concentrate on peaceful music and to concentrate on healing more and more. But yeah, looking back, I am often surprised how that all changed.

Does not ring true to me. The only thing I wanted to recover was inner peace.....

We are here for you, and we understand your pain. It is very evident that you are facing a lot of pain right now. The thought of any child to be unwanted and to be told that by a parent is excruciating pain. Only a very abusive person would ever ever say such a thing to their own child. For a...

Yes, completely different person now. Went from rageful fear to a much more quiet and reserved person, for good reason. Since I am stalked from the same predators that caused me the pain that propelled me into PTSD, (now finding out that there were several predators who attempted to study me for...

As a therapist I would most likely cleanse your soul first, literally extradite the healing by removing the foul stench of persuasive grooming of a predator. This can be done by showing you how a predator operates and how a predator grooms his or her victims by using special methods of story...

Have noticed more and more that a lot of workers have to deal with people that are strung out on drugs. Had a druggie customer like that the other day, got belligerent with me, extremely aggressive, lied about my performance and proceeded to shout at me after I attempted to remove myself from...

To me most work places are toxic, the people in those places are toxic. One place is all females and their ways of fake communication will make anyone sick. The fake hellos, the fake: oh I care so much about what you say, the fake I like your sweater, you like my sweater too? Really? Fake...

Your plight sounds very familiar, it reminds me of the many difficult phases I have gone through in the past. When PTSD hits there is a jungle of symptoms, all jumbled together, fragmented memories, different traumas bleeding into each other, symptoms from one trauma that mimics symptoms from...

I agree, it seems this situation may get beyond difficult. I usually don't judge but when a partner from the patient joins it could get ugly. To me it seems the patient may have unhealthy tendencies in securing partnerships and in my opinion may consciously or unconsciously pit the therapist...

Someone is playing a very sick joke on you, no doubt. I know those kinds of tactics and they always originate from some very sick people who attempt to change private information on the victim. There is an insider at that doctor's office that knows someone that may know your ex. There is a...

I don't think rambling is happening here, you are a confused person that is stressed out by the suicide attempt of someone you know. I had something similar when I went to school with a friend of mine a long time ago. That kind of experience is very distressing. I see online relationships like...

I changed my last name after escaping an abusive ex husband. Now I would love to ditch my last name again, because it is the name of my father who is also an abuser. I don't want that name anymore, I really don't

Well, it could be a tricky situation for you. I detect that there may be a conflict between work issues and privacy issues. You will have to guard yourself, because if word gets out there may be more people who want to talk about that at your workplace. I have always kept work issues and...

Yeah, music does that to me too. It is a very powerful medium and I believe that it really can intensify trauma, but can also help to heal. Your T should have refrained from attending this session. It should have been your T to excuse himself from a situation in which he would have to face a...
