    I think you have some of your facts fouled up. The people in neighborhood were the ones who wanted to have MOVE evicted. This wasn't just lets pick on MOVE this week. This had stretched on for months while they tried to remove them peacefully. People had been shot by MOVE people. Move had...

    Before And After

    No multiple personalities just a damaged single one. Like you I was motivated and a hard charger but now I can't get motivated to do much of anything. The old me still haunts...keeping reactionary gaps, watching peoples hands, keeping my back to a wall. Those are the muscle memories I...

    Before And After

    I understand ....All those years writing with your right hand.... training it work in a certain way and suddenly your right hand is crippled. You can learn to write with your left hand but it doesn't feel the same ....it's not natural. To me it feels like pitching right handed and catching.with...

    The Trigger Keeps On Giving

    I had an instance several weeks ago where I went back into cop mode when someone continued to act irrational and cursing my son. It's was a trigger. I knew it immediately after and my anxiety went down after a couple of hours. Hadn't had to get into that mode in a long time. I knew the feeling...

    Do You Tell People You Have Ptsd?

    That's the same guy who was being ugly. He's almost unhinged. Don't worry I would never tell that guy anything personal. I made a little bit of an ass out of myself this evening. On a Nextdoor site we have been discussing the sign thing for weeks and I have been making samples. They suck (the...

    Well there is the stigma attached. Many of these neighbors are older and may be less likely to understand.

    Do You Tell People You Have Ptsd?

    I've been getting involved in a local Neighborhood Assoc since we have been having a lot of burglaries. Several of the Members want me to go to the meetings (I hate crowds) and help out. I think many don't understand that I prefer email or posts on the sites. I went to the last meeting but I...

    Buddhist meditation ??????????

    My T related a type of Buddhist Meditation where you examine your stress. Look at it, examine it, what does it feel like, Etc. She indicated it's often used for pain management but I could try it for my anxiety and suggested I look at videos on youtube. The problem is I'm not sure what I'm...

    Social Anxiety

    He first stopped by to make sure I was going to the neighborhood meetings because he liked my ideas we had discussed online. I went to the meeting but I snuck in at the beginning and slipped out right before the end. The meeting was a chore for me. I was afraid the mean neighbor would confront...

    Social Anxiety

    I had a neighbor come by and I can tell he wants to be friends but my anxiety level goes way up. I talked to him on the neighborhood site. He's retired but I am so jealous or maybe feelings useless. He has a huge garage he built. He has cars he has rebuilt. His backyard looks like a real cool...

    Why Do I Get Obsessive When Someone Tries To Intimidate Me.

    I only get upset if I have skin in the game. Once when a security guy tried to physically intimidate me while I was curbing. It's a hobby I enjoy and I've done it for years but this wanted to argue and got into my personal space. He was just badge heavy a$$hole. I stood my ground for a little...

    Why Do I Get Obsessive When Someone Tries To Intimidate Me.

    Is it because I was a nerd and bullied at school? Is it a control issue? I get completely obsessed whenever someone attempts to intimidate me. Normally I couldn't give a crap but on a couple of instances when I'm doing something I like (hobby or online site) and people try to buffalo me I get...

    Adrenaline Feeling Won't Go Away

    I can't get rid of that adrenaline feeling. Like your stomach gets when the roller coaster starts that fall. I can't get it to go away. This has been going all day. Feels somewhat like a continuous anxiety attack. Hands shaking, light headed, very large butterflies stomach, nauseous. Anybody...

    Companionship

    I guess I should be looking at the glass half full. I do take care of my Mom whose 84. I do have two boys and a couple of Grandkids but they have lives of their own. I have two sisters but I don't tolerate them very well. They are much older than I and always full of B.S. I liked and enjoyed...

    Companionship

    I see other people when I'm out running errands and I really miss just the day to day companionship of others. Seems I've lost all (the few) of the family and friends I developed on the job. Feels ripped away. I miss the intimacy of my ex-wife...not the physical but the interaction of daily...

    Angry Over Something Stupid

    You're spooky I just did that. It felt a little like tattling but then the adult voice in my head said maybe it's best. I asked the V. P. if he's always that difficult and set out the public chastisement, yelling, cursing, having to ask him not to contact me again "twice"...Etc. I related at...

    Angry Over Something Stupid

    I am reconsidering. Maybe I should refocus my anger and go ahead and order a sign without Association. It would read Colonial Acres Neighborhood. Not much the guy can do. Maybe order one for anyone who wants one. The guy might lose his mind but I found out he's my age so maybe he won't vapor...
