    Art, Painting, Drawing - Share Yours

    A pic I took on Dec 15th on my way to an appointment. It was the day after a big storm cleaned the atmosphere. Often these mtn's (The Sierra Mtns) aren't very visible most of the year, but show up well here. I've said it before, but it was a while back. Lots of new people. I use photography to...

    Does Anyone Have A High Iq

    I have a high IQ with a handicap when it comes to math. My brain tries to make a complex equation into a picture making it very hard to break it into it's components and solve in appropriate order. Comparing brains to electronics = If you take a Casio calculator and cross it's wires, you get...

    The advantages/disadvantages of service dogs.

    This is written as a general guide/ramble, not to anyone in particular, even though I ended up here, and was inspired to post because of recent posts. There are NO breed restrictions of any kind for SD's. Federal ADA law ensures this. The biggest consideration is getting a dog that can help...

    Myptsd's Mental Health Support Fund (gofundme)

    I don't come here often anymore. Dropped in today and saw this. Went to website and hit share for FB. Checked my FB page and it's on it. # of shares at the gofundme site didn't change though. Unfortunately I only have 10 or so "friends" on FB, but I tried.

    Poll Is There A Specific Genre Of Music That Calms You Down?

    I've been listening to this a lot lately. Parov Stelar radio list on Spotify. That link takes you to the artist. To select artist radio, in the top middle window it says - play, follow, ... Select the (...) and then select "Start artiest radio" for similar music.

    Comfort Food Ideas For When You Have No Appetite

    My post on nuclear noodles. Love 'em (usually, unless I've had them every day for a while) https://www.myptsd.com/threads/cooking-with-indulgence.7349/page-6#post-325631

    People Who Make Fun Of People With Ptsd? Call Them Useless Trash?

    People like that don't sound like friends. They sound more like enemies. Why would anyone allow enemies to be such an important part of their lives? You sound like you know the answer on what to do, but lack the courage to do it. It won't be easy, so I'm not condemning or putting you down in...

    Do Loud Noises Incite Panic?

    I suffer from noise sensitivity usually, hyper sensitivity at times. At my worst I can't even eat potato chips because the noise is totally overwhelming. A train or car with the super loud base boomin going by and I'm paralyzed until it passes, in danger of collapsing. A loud bang or pop and I...

    Red, You Get Your Wish, At Least Partially.

    I don't know how this will be read, but it's not being written with anger, just frustration. I agree Jimmy, to a point. Knowing that there is someone here who hates me and wants to piss me off. Being around someone who takes great pride and pleasure in putting me down and insulting my lifes...

    Red, You Get Your Wish, At Least Partially.

    I'm not going to come here very much anymore. I'm sick and f*cking tired of Red and a few like him and their constant measuring of PTSD - "My PTSD is worse than your PTSD", and "How can you have PTSD you were at a "safe" place" (even though it wasn't safe). Overall, I know they are just a few...

    What Makes You :) Today

    Duno, could be coincidence. Could be cookie. It doesn't bother me that much. I don't do much on FB but read service dog stuff and play Tribz. Everything is linked to everything now days. It's just a way they pay their bills. Screen capture of my FB home page:

    Gulf War Vets - Sarin Gas Exposure

    I don't see any ships except the Indie, Roosevelt and San Jacinto, or squadrons listed, so.... I'm good? I was on the Nimitz when I got my Anthrax shots 5 of em I think, each one hurt exponentially worse than the one before it. Last shot I lost most of the use of my left arm for about 4 days.

    What Makes You :) Today

    . This generator has been on my FB page advertisement side panel all day since I saw your post and went to that page, I think they are stalking my web history... :confused: (not sure to say that as a joke or not).

    Gulf War Vets - Sarin Gas Exposure

    Even out in the middle of the Gulf the air was smoggy - really smoggy. Black oil fire smog from the wells burning. At sea level visibility was only a mile or two sometimes. Every evening we had very deep red sunsets from the pollution. The three cruises after the first Gulf war, the air was...

    This Is A New Sub-forum For Suicide Prevention Articles And Threads.

    Honestly I have suicidal fantasies almost every day. Sometimes they are just that - Fantasies. Somedays... I truly wish I could kill myself. When it gets really bad I go to the VA Emergency Room and get admitted to the psych ward for help sometimes. I've been there 5 or 6 times now I think...

    What Makes You :) Today

    When I look back at my life I agree,;) When I look at my young granddaughter, I fear what is to come. Her mothers bloodline.... Wild wouldn't even begin to describe.:confused:

    Caution: Do Not Read If Struggling With Sense Of Purpose.

    Relate to this? No offence, but I don't even know what the f*ck your trying to say. You use generalizations for just about everything. Just about everybody here has, to some extent actually said what they did, saw, or had happen to them that is causing them problems now. They have done an actual...

    Do You Consider Yourself Mentally Ill?

    Why the nit-picking of a simple saying. Everyone is different, has different backgrounds, and is comfortable with different things. Accept others for this and life will be much easier. A question was asked, many replies were given according to the owners preference. Trying to make the link to...

    Flash Backs To A War I Wasn't In.

    The mind is a difficult or impossible thing to figure out. Your mind may be trying to figure out your roll in the war without dealing directly with it. It is using images, sounds, etc that you have learned from other things to work around the edges of your memories - stories, tv, movies, etc...

    News Fear Of Another 9/11

    I avoid TV altogether. Any shows I watch are on Hulu.com. I watch them when I want to, when I'm ready. I do check CNN, BBC, NPR, NY Times websites daily, but I choose which links to follow up on. I avoid the middle east ones usually. I avoid a lot of links on the "news" sites actually. The whole...
