    Medical Just need to whine a minute

    I have this lovely moon-boot looking thing, I think called a “cam boot.” At least I can take it on and off! And it’s not 90 degrees outside anymore. @blackemerald1 - I’d love to know who took that last step away and give them a good whack with one of my crutches! ? This is going to be a hard...

    Medical Just need to whine a minute

    So I was carrying my 2 year old down the steps on Friday, went to step into the last step and it wasn’t there.

    Dad did it... please help me

    This. 100% this. @Sideways I will carry this with me. Thank you! So true about how uncertainty around traumatic memories can be difficult. But I agree with the danger of allowing anyone to suggest what happened.

    Zoloft Side Effects After 9mo Off & Starting Again

    To Tell Other Family Or Not

    The guilt and shame of what happened to you belongs on the perpetrator, not you. I’m sorry you were invalidated as someone earlier stated also. You could shout what happened from a roof top if that would help you to heal. Take gentle care of yourself.

    OCD “Pure O” OCD

    So my T broached with me today the possibility of an underlying OCD diagnosis as well as PTSD. I started researching it and holy $h!t, did the straight cognitive obsessive fit me. Anyone else dealing with dual diagnoses? I thought all of the “intrusive thoughts” were different from my...
