I had a meltdown from the helplessness after shoulder surgery. I don't know how I could have prevented it, and didn't see that coming at all. Best wishes in your recovery

Yeah, i'm letting it go now. It just triggered some terrible stuff in me. Had to write it down. Now i feel like posting this here isnt that important. Sorry guys, dont wanna waste anyones time. I started an ADHD drug just before this, and think it did some bad stuff to me.

Not really a joke, but the "wink wink nudge nudge" was what she(boss) commented on, is that inappropriate? Maybe they misunderstood the wink

Here's the joke, "btw, if you hear of the district hiring any project managers, (other school district has 3! ), keep in mind that i'm certified! wink wink nudge nudge, have a great day!" would that sentence really make someone uncomfortable? I'm simply saying, if you hear of a job opening...

It could be, but my boss took it pretty seriously and was berating me on the phone.

tattoos are always the answer! ;)

Just want to get this off my chest. I have begun tackling my ptsd after finding out about it approx a month ago. Thought I was doing good with CBT and light meds. One little thing at work can show you how unstable you are though. Dealing with a new alarm system being installed in my building...

I'm sorry, i didn't mean to imply survival isn't your motivation at all. I understand what you're saying. I was just trying to explain my issue in my words. I was in a childrens shelter and felt if I wasn't on my toes I'd be murdered. It started from that, then went on to keep me out of places...

Wow, that sounds pretty far fetched in my opinion. I've done plenty my share of acid, probably going on 25 years ago, and have never had a flashback. If what you say about the half life is true, it's probably unlikely. But who knows.

I can relate to your "drive". Mine is also very hard to please. Mine comes from a sense of survival however vs. yours having relatives involved. I feel like if I don't rise above others, I'll die. Sounds irrational when you say it out loud. I've been reading this book, "The Four Agreements"...

That's terrible that you became a part of that paranoia. Thankfully, I don't think my brother or I became a part of her delusions, but we certainly suffered from the fallout from them. She didn't practice witchcraft I dont think, but she just had all these supernatural books and beliefs.

My skepticism stems mainly from how I got my ptsd. Not sure there are enough traumatic events that stand out from the rest for me to use. I think I gravitate to c-ptsd because of the prolonged kind of traumas that I was stuck with in my living environment. There are a few exceptionally bad...

Lmao, thats the truth of the matter, now isn't it? If we could pay $0.99 cents for an app and fix it we certainly would!

Right! I'm willing to try about anything with the guidance of someone who has my best interest in mind.

I'm really sorry to hear how that turned out. Perhaps he's looking for something he thinks he can find through numerous failed relationships. I can relate to that. No one can put him on the track to repair himself, but himself. Thank you for being a person who would support us.

Good, thats how I feel. How would you or your therapist know it's working?, or working correctly, or to mistakenly attribute any successes to another factor. Seems like a bad idea to me.

Wow Socha, thats eerily similar! I also had an older brother (5 years), so that was fortunate, but he's as messed up as me. Trying now to soften him up with the idea of all of this (ptsd). My mom had witchcraft books, astrology, numerology, tarot, psychics, palm readings, ouija boards, you name...

Was looking in Google play to see if there was an app version of this forum and see a couple EMDR apps to do the therapy by yourself. Is that a good idea? I'm kinda skeptical of the idea of EMDR to begin with, but should you be doing it alone?

I'm really sorry. Is a separation possible? I moved out during a meltdown. We are together, but living apart while I work on this. Is that possible? Thoughts with you.

Exactly how I feel. I have a name for it. It's exciting to solve something, isn't it? Welcome! I signed up yesterday here.

Welcome. I just signed up too. I think this is the place for us. Nice to meet you.

I hope that you find some comfort knowing we are all like you in one way or another. Welcome aboard. I signed up here yesterday.

Yes to the rage, displaced? That depends.. I have heightened state of "disrespect" or "injustice". That's in quotes because It's my personal perception of disrespect and injustice. So in that sense, I'm sure lots of it would be considered displaced or unwarranted. I'm big on speaking out and...

Thank you Gizmo. Yeah, I'm glad I found this place too. All of us who have certain things in common in the same place with no judgement. Can't beat that!! Thank you for your support.

Thanks, yeah, I was tempted to skip the Concerta this morning, but i'll do as I'm told and follow the channels/protocol etc etc.
