I'm so sorry you're going through such a rough time. :( Living with chronic illness sucks hard sometimes. I had never heard of Hydrocephalus so looked it up. Have you had it since childhood? Are there certain times of the year or weather conditions that make your symptoms worse? Do you have any...

@MT Johnny Recognizing your weaknesses as well your strengths is a big part of growing. We all have petulant bratty days, so try not to focus too much on that. You also lend support to others and are truly trying to figure out how to better yourself. Those are honorable traits in my book. :hug:s...

@Joan your collage of what it feels like is really quite true! Nice work.

I usually just explain the symptoms that are relevant to the situation at hand and don't go into cause unless it is with someone close. I'm asked every week or so why I'm in the wheelchair (or on crutches) by strangers so the PTSD is something that only comes up on occasion.

Bravo to you! :D

Hypervigilance is for me one of the hardest parts about PTSD and one I never seem to get used to no matter how many years pass.

This one might be fun :) http://www.singsnap.com

It is daily problem, not as much at home anymore, but I apologize for existing, taking up space, crossing in front of someone in my wheelchair, it's a terrible issue and one I'm made fun of for. Working on changing it though.

I've never read them, but am intrigued. :bookworm:

@Casey_03 Thank you for your service! Wishing you luck, safety, and good health on your journey. Come back safe! :hug:

We're not going to dwell on negatives...Hopefully she eventually left him, maybe went to college, maybe moved away and found a job, hopefully she realized she didn't need assholes in her life. At the very least you showed her that someone out there cared and noticed. :hug:

2:43am. *hoot* :wtf::wtf::wtf::wtf::wtf::wtf: Lol. Umm I'm on my phone. :O_o:

Getting help is a wonderful first step. Also please do not take your wife's confidences lightly. She trusts you enough to share her secrets please do not misuse that trust. I feel you've a good heart and love your wife very much or else you would not have asked for advice. I hope that by seeking...

If I'm not scanning I'm not breathing. My dear husband is either used to it, or just doesn't comment anymore. For the first 10? years of marriage I had to be in a corner, preferably a booth, and have low lighting in a restaurant, otherwise I had people overload and could not focus because I had...

Sending Big Hugs @gizmo! :hug: :hug: :hug:

She needs your love, strength, and understanding now. Surviving after is hard work, she did that. Please talk with a therapist for yourself, for her, and your family. :hug:

:oops: I was late with the cookies! Sorries! This time I brought tea to go with them. What I've found for myself since the beginning of this is that I do two days of "dark" work which makes me kind of gleeful :unsure: :wideeyed: and one day of processing what that was about and feeling just off...

I'm having panic attacks at night again, hearing things that are not there, worrying overly much about the kids (and whether or not they are breathing- of course they are! They are perfectly healthy kids!!! still I worry) , and not being able to stay asleep at night. I did sleep about 3 hours...

Well, at 3:00am after sleeping a grand total of 10 freaking minutes I decide F*ck it. I'm just going to accept being a night owl, and stop fighting it. Welcome to the group @SGT Crim1 :). http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/10/23/night-owl-benefits_n_5877272.html This is Huff. Post so do take...
