Barconian? New word to me. I was ready to shut down on your comment and swore I'll never use English to share my information. During the times of stress, one falls on the natural language and that is for me is ASL. Thank you for manning up or womaning up (invented a new word here). I...

Ok, I have to venture out of my home to fight a war with my hearing non signing lawyers this afternoon. PTSD triggers? I'll leave that question mark up in the air. I'll probably be exhausted emotionally at the end of the day. Just FYI and see what happens.

Good to fight but not good to fight for too long considering my position. I love this quote from the "Dolphin Song" by Olivia Newton-John... You can read the rest of the lyric on the web.. Dolphins are my favorite animal... I studied them... They may look peaceful and beautiful but they do...

No, it's not. Just go up and introduce yourself. You be surprised. If you don't understand, they will make the time to clarify. How are you going to advance yourself to become fluent? We all start with "baby" words and to be fluent in a language takes an average of 5 years. Took me two...

If a human gets raped, that's war. I've never been raped. I'm not allowed to join the military. God bless those who went into the military to fight for something they believe in and get killed in the process. I feel that some out there thinks that military war is more valuable than my kind...

Like I said, I don't do forums and this is my first time. ASL uses body languages and facial expressions to convey the grammar parts of the language. English has its own limitations in expressing things like these. ASL is a rich language that stands on its own. So it's not a "hand waving and...

Thank you.

I just completed my story and posted "My War" a few minutes ago... Read on and enjoy. I have two service dogs. I listen to them well. They listen to me well. There's several languages... The language of languages (plural)... The language of the human heart.... The language of the soul...

I'm Deaf (Capital D means culturally DEAF). I know I may feel so alone after working so many years as teacher and thespian, after being diagnosed with PTSD amongst other diagnoses. In doing this for over 40 years, I have a need to share, be catharsis, at this point - not looking for advices...

Sorry to hear about this. I avoid hospitals at all cost. What stops me cold from going there are the people. I use weed to get me through and I have prescription for it... I still get nervous after years of being told that it's illegal and now it's legal, still gets me nervous.... Around...

I never joined any forum until now. I'm Deaf (note the capital letter means culturally DEAF) and I was born deaf (small "d" means auditory deaf). My first language is American Sign Language (ASL) and English is my second language. I was diagnosed having PTSD amongst my other diagnoses...
