Feeling the exact same way... except now all of the ostricizing has graduated into my professional life. It's like school all over again. Sending love your way. Not sure I have advice but know you're not alone.

Im in crisis today also. I suppose by reminding yourself that this too shall pass. It's discouraging to know these feelings will return to torment... until we find another belief to replace the negative ones. Something is askew with our belief systems and it's like a loop... but where...

Older people have a very different way or doing, acting, and thinking than the rest of us... Most have grown up in a society where mental health isn't held in the same regard as it is today. PTSD has been around since WW2 but it was known as battle fatigue, shell shock, etc. I'm impressed they...

That's a blessing to have temporary relief! I wonder if you can keep track of the feelings, thoughts as well as places and situations you're in that put you in that "pre-ptsd" space. Must have been very nice to experience some relief! A few months ago I experienced this for a few nice moments...

You're a caring person, you're a nice person. I just wonder why you hold on with idealism when the reality is that it's hurting you, and somethinf about him needs to change, but its beyond my understanding. I hope my other post didn't offend you... sending love your way you sound like incredibly...

I didnt follow the story too closely as it was pretty upsetting but I did read an article about the day of judgment. I was proud of the judge for reading his letter to the court and shaming the sh!t out if him, breaking apart his letter and highlighting his lack of remorse and his awful...

I'm a sufferer and yeah, I get this impression as well on some of the posts... Idk. What are you two still around each other for?

Thank you all so much. Absolutely fabulous advice and support from my friends who "get it"! I appreciate you all and will reread these responses when it starts to get to me again.

Thank you for your reply!! Yes, this is a huge problem at work... projects are always lumped onto me and I have more work than I can reasonably do. However, that's a common thing there. I have a lunch with one of the higher ups and want to ask for help with defining my job position there and...

Thank you Eve. Excellent point as always. I agree with you. I worry that it'll be this way anywhere I go and am not entirely sure where I'd go that wouldn't be as "triggering", for lack of a better word.

I work in a multi level but cozy office with a little more than 25 people. I try my best and keep to myself. Am polite and helpful but feel I'm often misread because I'm standoffish, quiet and very private. All of their personalities and moods are exhausting to me. It makes my...

Don't excuse his behavior. He's being abusive toward you. Don't get involved in feeling sorry for him. People with PTSD don't just act like this guy. I say drop him and go before the screaming on the phone escalates to something else. He sounds like a real jerk and its your responsibility to...

You sound like you're onto something. Some deeper issues needing deeper healing. This situation sounds like it had to happen to evoke it inside you. Can you write it all out and have it ready for next appointment? Explore it more?

Did she at least agree to email back a quick "I will respond in person"? That'd be a good idea I think.

I did this years ago out of desperation and yes, not understanding my own need for boundaries; not understanding that not everyone who knows my personal traumas will be good intended and non abusive with it. I shared with the wrong people.. wronnnnggg people.. which taught me the need to keep...

I'm sorry you're struggling. This too shall pass. What's going on? I'll listen if you need to vent. Stay strong... better days are coming. Sending care and love your way, M. -L

If you've consistently emailed her between sessions and she has always assured you it was more than fine to do so, then you haven't done anything out of bounds by doing what you have always done. Even if it were an issue, if she hasn't told you that then you are not to blame here. It would be...

I'm happy to see you back! Sounds like you're going through some hell right now... I am so sorry. I hope things settle down soon for you. Btw, good for you on pressing charges. Things will work out how they're meant to. Keep being strong. Random question... the tumor, are they removing it?

The fear of not being believed has been such a handicap to me as well... please fight it and fight for truth. You know your life and experiences better than anyone. It doesn't matter what people think. All that matters is the truth.

Sounds good! When can you get in do you think?

I've had similar experience with a suicide hotline. Remember: they are NO experts; just like anywhere else, you'll get an inexperienced fool every now and then. I haven't since called a suicide hotline and it's been 3 years... just because of the ignorance. I understand. I'm so sorry.

Nothing to apologize about. We understand and are here to help you. It would help to keep a thought journal. To jot down the thoughts you're having throughout the day. You'll notice patterns. It's important to keep your negative/anxious thoughts in check once you realizethe pattern, because...

Oh, no, not at all! Nothing like that! Nothing to be embarassed about. Youre humbling yourself by seeking God in the first place! I think the learning part comes naturally as we explore things; I have a Bible that I really should be studying but I for some selfish reason have been too...

JOEL A. BROOKS, JR. PODCAST | Free Podcasts | PodOmatic This is a podcast of the Christian church that turned my life around. I've moved out of the state but am so happy to be able to still listen to my pastor. I listen to him at work also. He's hilarious, it's hard NOT to enjoy listening to...

LMAO! Hahahaha this made my day xD
