See! It is like I said, the book does a way better job of explaining what instinct is. Instinct is faster than thought and often picks up of things before we have a chance to rationalize them away. It takes in body language, voice ton, eye direction etc. It is a more fine tuned awareness than...

I had a nightmare pregnancy with my daughter. She had genetic disorder. Tons of tests and procedures done on me. She died at birth. If your baby didn't die I would suggest using it as a way of reminding yourself that all your efforts and physical challenges at least gave you a beautiful child...

There is a GREAT difference between Instinct and paranoia. Paranoia isn't based on complete fact. Emotion and delusional thought clouds a persons ability to reason. Instinct is based on fact. The book I mentioned does a great job of explaining it better than I can in a few short lines But I'll...

There is this interesting statement. "People convinced against their will are of the same opinion still" IMO you are creating scenarios in your own mind of what men are and then you watch for indications that you are right. You will never learn or know good men until you are willing to see that...

Hi there!:hello: My diagnosis was CPTSD. The C standing for Complex. Complex meaning that there are many underlining traumas that caused my condition. Several life and death scenarios that left terrible trauma. On my journey through this stuff, I have come across some women who have...

I have come to realize that my Dad is a an asshole. But he's my asshole and the only one I've got. Wait a minute, that doesn't sound right!:rofl: O

Your words reminded me of my own life several years ago. The more I did the more was put on me to do. Eventually I was no longer acting like a Human BEING, just a Human DOING. I crashed, completely crashed. Huddled in the fetal position mumbling to myself. The I wasn't any use to anyone. Please...

Hi Lion This part sucks so bad. Yeh I have had the same things happen to me. The dreams are horrifying, especially when you cannot even comprehend how your own mind could come up with such horrifying stories. I do think that it is just part of a process where your mind is trying to re-create...

Hi Browneyes, I think I can understand how you feel. But to clarify if you mean you LITERALLY forget your past visits, than I cam not so sure. If you are saying that you forget the painful interactions, then I can relate because of my own family history. For me the reason I would keep being...

When ever I get a chest cold I sound Exactly like John Wayne. Years ago a car pulled up along side me as I was walking to the Doctors office and this guy says "Hey Baby, Wanna ride?" I stopped and smiled and said in my deep Manly sick voice "I used to be a man ya know". The look on his face was...

This is meant to make you laugh so I hope you do. Instead of a dog, get one of those stiff leashes with the collar. They sell them in joke stores. It is supposed to look like you have an invisible dog. I tell you, any woman who starts walking an invisible dog will eventually scare off most men...

Fortunatley You are the only one entitled to decide who you are. Also who you choose to be. I kinda felt that all that self evaluation was like cleaning a closet. Slowly I learned what were the things I liked and what things I wanted to change. So much of me was what I was told to be or was all...

'Sometimes its hard to be a woman' I think thats a song! I had the same experience for years. Making myself as comfy as possible, and Bonnie Raitt helped me through...Thetas some great woman hurtin' music! Wishing you comfy rest, O

I wrote a whole bunch of stuff but deleted it. I think that what you need most is this::Hug_emoticon::Hug_emoticon::Hug_emoticon::Hug_emoticon::Hug_emoticon: I will be thinking of you and waiting to hear form you soon. Expect a friend invite! O

There can also be something to be said in the Way a person may apologize. A person who says "I am sorry you feel that way"-has not said sorry for their actions. A person who says "I apologize" in my mind also isn't really saying the word "SORRY"- they are just announcing an action. AND if a...

Thought of a Great song. 'I'm not ready to make nice" By the Dixie Chicks.:occasion: O

Hi Moey, Gravity reminds us that the whole world sucks! When in the middle of a "storm" as I called them, there really isn't much else to do but ride the waves. Try and keep it in your mind that THIS TOO SHALL PASS. The best thing to do is make your self as comfortable as possible. Baby yourself...

I think it is a great accomplishment to be able to hold on to that one positive experience. Even if it is just one moment and that is where it ends with a person, it was still a beautiful thing. When we can see the beauty in another's actions we can begin to see them in ourselves. It is a sign...

Just wanted to second a thank you. It may not be what one would automatically think would help but I also feel that thinking about other people in need and reaching out to them is very soothing. I agree with you Anni too. The more anonymous the generosity the better the feeling. There really is...

Fantastic post! O

I never said that everyone can recover from PTSD and if they do not that they have not worked hard enough. I said I have Recovered. Some people choose not to try and improve their given diagnosis. It was not ever intended to be a blanket statement of all who have PTSD being alike. It is an...

If you liken the ongoing challenges to a room full of all the food that you need to eat for an entire year it seems very daunting. But one taste, one bite, one plate at a time is manageable. When adrenaline is up, thinking ability is down. When adrenaline is down, thinking ability goes up...

You know I knew as soon as I typed the part about some people wanting to stay in a state of unwellness, that it could be taken the wrong way. Here the way I see it. I had an opportunity to see many people in various stages of their disorder. In the hospital you see them at their rawest, hence...

I think your family has had very bad taste in men. You may have learned in the past to have the same bad taste. But you can also look at it this way; You now have an Honorary Doctorate in Assholes. Sort of a asshole meter to help you avoid them from now on. It is an important part of recovery...

Hi there, It seems to me that it is time for you to feel a little bit of pride in yourself for how far you come. Embrace the strength that you have discovered in yourself. Sometimes if we just turn around for a minute and see all the mountains we have conquered, it makes the going easier for the...
