Thanks! I have never tried melatonin - I'll look into that.

I used to be a shift worker. My body wants to be on that schedule even though I need to be awake normal hours now. Lately I don't wake up until afternoon and if I set an alarm I just turn it back off. Getting enough sleep is major for helping me cope with my symptoms. What has helped you with...

I have a Chicago accent which many people, even in the U.S. find funny and many find annoying. I've personally always liked hearing different accents and I think most people from the U.S. do as well. The one exception is that a certain percentage of people from the U.S. fake European accents to...

Ok, thanks! Good to know!

I'm also one of those people who gets really nervous in job interviews but not with public speaking. I find I perform best at job interviews where I'm not that interested in the job but I'm just using it for a back up. The more the job could make a big difference for me the more likely I am to...

I had the same issue with yoga. It can be very triggering.

Does anyone know specifically about giphy.com ? They seem to encourage sharing online so I'm guessing it is the same answer as what was explained for youtube, is that right? Thanks

Happy Birthday Bipfroggit! Holidays can be very tough on us. I agree with the comments above. From now on do whatever you want with the day, not what you think you should do.

The Supreme Court has just made a ruling on domestic violence and guns. http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/supreme-court-upholds-wide-reach-u-s-gun-ban-domestic-n599816

Same here!

Wow, that's horrible. Yeah, I eventually decided to distance myself from family because of reactions like that. I just needed to, even from the people who were not directly abusive. I was just sick of hearing what "nice people" my abusers were even from the people in my family who knew what they...

I wish someone in my family would have gone into Rambo mode!

Good luck with the sleeping issues! I have not heard from that friend for a while but if I can get back in touch with her I will let you know.

Thanks for bringing up the link between domestic violence and mass murder. I was thinking of this as well when this happened. I have also noticed there's a link between mass murder/mass atrocities/randomly shooting innocent people and sex crimes. It seems like it's all connected somehow. I'm not...

This is almost everyone in my family. For those who married in it's like they chose each other because they're like that. They don't even seem to care about protecting their own kids.

Hi FrankM, sorry, I don't know what was wrong with my friend. I know that medication helped her but I don't know what kind. Also, you can get the sleep stuff you are taking without the extra medicine for cold/flu symptoms and this is safer to take long term. I use it all the time. Here it is...

Thanks for the link!

Yeah, eventually having the income for a very secure residence is what I'm hoping for.

Thanks! I will look into that. Sorry to hear you went through something similar. No one should have to go through this stuff!

That's wonderful you got to France and got the money in your account! Good luck with school!

Thanks everyone for all your advice. Unfortunately today I got another letter announcing that they have found me again, right on cue (I last moved about 10 months ago). I have a security system. I need to add some cameras though - don't have any right now. I'm also considering going to buy a...

Sorry, I'm a U.S. law student but I have no idea the answer to that. Like others said, you need a lawyer who knows that area of international law. I saw mentioned you were already looking into getting one - I hope that has worked out. If money is an issue try searching for who does pro bono work...

Welcome cheeseriver! You came to the right place - there are lots of cat people on here and lots of people with ptsd from parents and/or narcissists - you're in good company! I hope you find this site as useful as I have!

It took me a few tries at therapy to find the right therapist but it was worth it. I also have more symptoms depending on where I live, especially if it's some place where abuse happened. I found that moving was worth it but only when you're ready for such a big change. Welcome to the site!

Thanks! Cats are the best! =^.^= I myself didn't have a belief system for a long time since I was raised atheist but that changed over time through a process of prayer and reflection. Anyway, good luck to you in your healing journey. Don't hesitate to reach out to this forum if you need...
