@Born to Run oh my gosh I forgot half of the reason I was posting earlier >.< ... Thank you so much for sharing the links, they really got me thinking! The adult preschool thing is so alien to me, but then I never went to school before 1st grade (then went to five that year). At the same time we...

Oh yes body memories can be very harsh. One of my surgeries did not go according to plane and the head surgeon made a big mistake, I woke up on the operating table and felt all the pain and could hear the bone saw, they cursed loudly, and put me under fast. Sometimes for no reason I'll wake up...

I do have some depression, does that exclude me? If so I do understand, and I'll cheer from the sidelines! If not, I would like to participate as well. I've not worked on a challenge here but this seems a great place to begin!

I hear you all on the Mac people! I love one of their lip glosses and was with a friend for a makeover, and as small as I am down in my wheelchair I may as well have been invisible to them. My tan, blonde, adorable friend got terrific service. Me pale as death, auburn, and on wheels nada. Never...

@Born to Run with this current upswing in trying to regain a sense of childlike wonder and creativity I have to wonder how we as a culture are responsible. My rascal (9 year old) hurt himself on Saturday so on a whim we printed out coloring pages, got out the colored pencils, and watched...

Sammy so truly sorry for your loss. Please be gentle with yourself, and know that you did your best by her. Thinking of you and wishing you peace.

@Berlinda I do think compassion is what those "little souls" (whether 5 or 13) really need. The more we can become aware of them as the survivors the more likely they can become part of us again. Never a need to apologize :hug: this is Our thread, and I'm grateful for it. :) Even though...

I do have children and have worked hard to share with them the dangers of abuse, and the physical and mental manipulations of abusers. We have conversations about these topics regularly and enough dialogue on uncomfortable issues that they know they will be listened to no matter how painful the...

tragic @rdoearth :(

@Ladyghosthunter i also wear makeup for concealment in dabs all over, but I wear it for fun too. Just a touch of mascara, sometimes a cat eye, blush, and lipgloss. Every once in a great while I get fancy with Urban Decay but it takes ages, and then I end up smearing it within minutes! p.s...

My stepfather hated everything about my looks, bug eyed, fat, pale, eh. you name it. He let me know with nicknames and hate that I would always be ugly. As a girl that did not develop at all until late (14) I can say that guys I met before then thought all girls should be well endowed, and after...

Very sad little article :( , but I'm glad it is getting attention as this is an ongoing problem world wide.

@digger :hug: thanks for that it is good to know I'm not alone in such things. I'm very nervous, but realize it is currently just mental, that the test could be just tracking the RA which is a known enemy.

@digger it was higher than expected, but that is all I know so far. My Dr. has not told me me why the test was requested, but I guess I can ask him. I hate dealing with medical stuff as it makes me feel like even more like an :alien: and I've a pretty long standing fear of doctors. Struggling...

Currently feel like I'm two steps from falling apart. Haunted by old voices telling me I never should have been born. That there is something badly wrong with me, and I never should have made it this far. That if this were any other time I would already be dead, as it is survival of the fittest...

When you wake up chipper and happy about the creepy, vile, disturbed dream you had and find it interesting because at least it was not in your go to real life inspired nightmares.

*scowls* *shrugs and starts blowing it up*

We were moved by a psycho every few months so I did not know what "normal" was in behaviors, expectations, how to care for things, or myself. I had no idea how to fit within any social structures and to this very day struggle with that.

Scratch that! I can walk here... *RUNS toward the bouncy castle hopping and skipping the whole way!*

*wheels fast for the bouncy castle* *waving at everyone in the pub*!

Beautiful...thank you Laurie. :hug:

Just... *nods*. Yes and it sucks. :alien:

I've never been good at sleeping, at this point I kind of doubt that I will be. Night terrors, nightmares, and insomnia throughout childhood have really not improved. I think I'll try coming back to this thread on one of those sleepless nights and see if there are any other Night Owl's on...

I thought of you last night but could not sign on. :( My nine year fell on a small table and hurt his side and elbow, I honestly thought we were going to have to take him to hospital. He's alright today but I'm so sorry I was not in chat lending my support.
