I still plan on going and talking to my friend but I injured my back. (PTSD takes a huge toll on the body in the last three months pneumonia, then bronchitis, now back problems) I think many people don't realize the funeral isn't for the body it's for the people left behind. It's important...

We had an Office killed today and the situation was very much how my friend died. I felt helpless again. The sea of lights and the continuous sirens upset me. I had to turn off the TV. It brought back several memories and feeling I keep deep inside. I haven't visited my friend in a long...

I considered volunteering but I no longer play well with others. I have turn into a hermit I suppose. I get out but anything more than hello and my blood pressure rises. It causes all kind of anxiety.

I have a very good (T). I know she does EMDR but the last time I tried that it went all wrong.

It seems a lot of my memories are buried deep. The ones I do remember are the bad ones. It feels like my life belonged to someone else before I was sick.

Took my Mom Xmas shopping last night at Sears. Suddenly someone called out my last name. I turned to see someone who was familiar but I could't place. She said you don't remember me do you and she leaned in toward my Mom and said guess where I know him from. Internal panic. In my head felt that...

Like Whitney said it takes times. The longer you are away from him the more your self esteem will grow. Unfortunately abusive people suck the life out of you.

I think your mixing up why someone would want to forgive. It's for you not them. Being consumed by an ever present anger and hatred isn't healthy. Been there done that. Maybe it's not forgiveness as much allowing yourself to move on. Praying for someone who has mistreated you with a...

Small dogs are the best alarms systems around.

I desperately try to find something useful to do with all of the time on my hands. I feel useless so much it helps to find a project. I get an idea, I research it, and work out the kinks to the project. I often get started but a few days later it seems to be the stupidest thing in the world...

I always relax when I'm around my dogs. Part of it is I think is I can let my guard down a little since I know they will let me know if someone is around. There isn't any threat but I'm still hypervigilant. The symptoms can be a pain in the a$$ and wear you out. I know the dogs would perceive a...

Number one thing is you didn't do anything. Unless you have the ability to control his mind with yours and cause him to strike/hit/yell/humiliate/intimidate/Etc. you it's not your fault. There a cycle of abuse. It's like a wheel where he starts out sweet and kind but inevitably abusive. Unless...

It's important to know the difference in forgiveness and forgetting. Imagine if you walked in your front door one day and I hit you in the chest with a baseball bat. Now you might forgive me for doing it but every time you walk through that doorway again you would always remember. It's a...

With the police and psych services the issue is you can't take any action unless the person is a danger to themselves and others. I would recommend calling anytime you have an issue. Sometimes a welfare check has the benefit of defusing the problem. Often when a mentally ill person is in need of...

You might consider some of the inexpensive solar lights. Placed out away from the house. It gives contrast and prevents a campfire type inability to see outside the immediate area. In a rural area a small amount of light would be beneficial.

I don't need much. The Modular in the country is just a dream I guess. As far as being tired I am from the PTSD. My Mom bless her heart is 80 and spends her time taking care of me. She's very independent. I took her to the doc once and the nurse was asking me the questions and my Mom piped up...

I've always been a loner and all of my friends were co-workers. No job means no friends. I guess I have seen all of the stupid stuff people do to each other and it all feels so petty. I just don't make time for stupid and inane. I wish I had someone to share with but I got divorced 20 years...

It's so hard to any future in my life. When my Mom is gone I don't know where I'll live. Yes I live and take care of my Mom.(no laughing) I am the executor of her will and by the time I split the estate into three I'll have to sell the house. Man I hate talking about this it makes me feel so...

I can see how it would be a problem with only reduced costs. You still have to eat and pay for fuel. I know here in the states most of the time they make you jump through hoops too. Most are turned down the on the first request and an appeal is almost always needed. Unfortunately PTSD...

Is there a pay difference in the Pension Card and full disability? We don't have that system where I'm from. Can you take the funds from the card until the appeal is processed?

I've had my run ins with medical professionals. Everything from bizarre behavior to really bad advise. The first Dr. I went to when I really got sick acted in strange ways. Each time I went into the office he acted like he had a different personality. He kept refusing to change my meds even...

I read the Parade Magazine article from Kevin Powers and several of the points struck home. Before everything mattered, the job, the team members, making a small difference and now nothing matters everything seems so unimportant. I feel that way most of the time. Can't find anything that...

I think I would much rather be a Vulcan and be only logical. It would seem to make things simpler. I guess I get to wait till next week to deal with the situation again. I ended up with Pneumonia or something. Probably all of the stress. Need to reschedule my (T) since last week was a total...

I'm thinking it might be best for me just to continue and be aware of the a$$holes that will push my buttons. Hopefully I can prevent myself from allowing these folks the power to do so. Hiding is something I don't do well and shrinking away isn't either. Maybe it's one of those doors I need to...
