You sound like an incredible woman. Please get all the support you can. PTSD is not a one woman job. He needs therapy. My heart goes out to you. Please keep posting. O

It is intresting to see the possible attitudes towards being hunted by a Huge Grizzly Bear. Out of their element completely, Three men with very different perspectives of life have no choice but to fight of flee. My favorite line - "What one man can do, so can another". O

Nature themes are always soothing... O

The urge to commit suicide is extemely painful, I rmemeber it well. This intense urge lasts about 1/2 hour usually. It passes. Sadly many peole do not know this and believe that there is no enduring it. If they could only hang on for that 1/2 hour, they may be able to go a day at a time untiil...

Anni, If you fight what is hurting, you only hurt yourself further. Seeing something that is inside you as an enemy will not help anyone understand it. If you work with what is going on and ride the pain (with therepy) instead of getting trapped in it, you can gain a different perspective in...

Your humble attitude will get you far with this PTSD. I think you will do very well here. O

When in a highly emotional state things can been read with more meaning than intended. You sound like you were triggered by what you read. I have never read a single thread where people ever compared their pain to others. We are all extrememly considerate and repectful of one anothers painful...

Very interesting. I put myself through a sort of exposure therapy with out even knowing it. I would watch Triggering movies and documentaries over and over, analyzing my reactions making myself face things. It was like an obsesion for a while. Gradually and after a ton of nightmares, the films...

The thing about PTSD is that feelings seem like facts. But, they are not. The feelings of PTSD are related to old injuries. The feelings are not reality. Your job as a person who wants to recover is to teach your brain that sex is normal and healthy. It is a part of being loved. This is...

You know her better than anyone. Could this just be another phase of her recovery? I guess only time will tell... One thing is for Certain. You are an amazing guy and any woman would be blessed to have you. Your experiences with this Girl have enriched you with wisdom that not many other men...

I really feel for you. Have you thought of a self defense course? Not for a "just in case" moment with him. I just mean so that you feel more capable and enpowered. These courses can feel very triggering for some people but in your case I doubt it would feel any worse than what you are already...

In response to Anni, I do not think that the PTSD is at fault at all. PTSD is the voice in our head of all the injuries we have suffered. It is the one screaming for us to sort this out and put the blame where it belongs - on the abusers, not ourselves. Growing pains says it well, about the...

Maybe what you need to focus on is your desire to feel relief. Death can somtimes just be what we imagine the ideal way to shut of all the caos. You have to discipline your thoughts here and find another ideal way to feel what you have imagined death feeling like. Talk to you T about this! O

A good tip for dehydrated cats/dogs is Gatoraid. They usually like the red flavour the best. You can dilute it too. Great for diareah too. And migrains in people. A close family friend is a retired animal trainer for movies. He has kept and collected various big, I mean BIG cats, and wolves...

Sometimes being a bitch is the only thing to do. You have a right to rip this bastard to bloody peices with your most glorious and beautiful Bitchiness possible. I'd revel in it. O

Another way of looking at conformism is the amount of thought that does/does not go into who they are. Most people do what they do because everyone else says it is the norm. With out making thought out analysis of WHY they do things. A thinking person decides for themselves based on actual a...

Congradulations! I love the name Grace, it was my daughters middle name. Be well and savour every kick and roll... I am happy for your happiness, O

My insomnia went away when I delt with all my issues. I liken it to a cut on my arm. Pain tells us that there is a wound taat needs attention just like PTSD demands our attention. I had to look the symptoms in the face and not fight them anymore. To Figure out what I need to deal with, I began...

I COMPLETETLY relate to you. Our daughter died. My heart broke. But after a ton of Therapy I decided that "A heart can break, but it can also grow back bigger". It takes patience and time, but mostly permission to have joy in your life again. For right now you are doing the exact right thing...

Age equals wisdom to me. I wouldn't go back for anything. The older I get the more comfortable I have become with who I am. I am growing more beautiful, in new ways that youth cannot touch. Youth is about the outside to me. Age is about the inside. Outer beauty never did me any favours. Inner...

The people who did this are dangerous. I do not mean to frighten you, You must be already. The police have to know about this. Your lawyer should also be speaking in your behalf for your safety. There has to be some sort of Professional help for you at this stage. even a family doctor... There...

Shame is common among those who sufferd child abuse. Children take on the responsibility of burdens easily. It is common for abusers to say that it is the childs fault that they are being harmed. Lock that thought into a mind and over the years it can add to the sense of being to blame for...

I used to feel like a wounded wolf that would hide out in its den. I did this for years. I still remember that ache. It reminds me of how anorexics starve themselves. I was starving myself of human connection. Please do not let this place replace your real need to be with real people. You are a...

Never met an animal that I didn't like. In fact I still like them more than people. I couldn't live without them. My closest friends have been cats, dogs,rat,mice,horses,cows, and one tiger! O
