Understand AI use at MyPTSD: all AI use is explained in our AI help page. AI use is by choice here. It exists if you want it, but does nothing unless you choose to use it.
I have 6 yellow ducks, in my bath tub. The ones small children get in their bath tub. I also love having a bubble bath and playing with the foam. I need to get a small boat next.
Coloring books is my latest one, it is just so peaceful and relaxing. I have a Great Barrier Reef, Historic Ships...
Have a broken toe and the arm chairs is my domain. So going out for the last 2 mornings have been great. Also stressful too. I am worried about me and facing the road ahead of me. I like it where I am but it is also not good either as I need to grow beyond here too.
I have taken 2 x 150mg a day Effexor XR for a long time. I do not think they help me. I am told that they are hard to get off of. You have to do it gradually. No side affects for me.
Having said they have just recently put me on a mood stabilizer 1 tablet 2 times a day, Epilim EC500. This pill...
I get afraid, very anxious even meeting people I have known for a while, let alone strangers. As I never know what might happen to me. I have to have an escape route being a doorway I can run through. I have done this a several of times now. It is like I have to get out of the room, get away...
Hooray!! :) I am getting out of the house today. I have broken toe and cannot go far. Will be sitting in the car and going for a drive. So just being outside will be good for me. Getting a bit sick of the arm chair. I will hobble to the car and sit as passenger while hubby does the errands.;)
I looked in PTSD Support Groups on the forum and found this link
Ottawa, Ontario (canada) Trauma Support Group

You could try and contact them and see if they know of any resources for you.
I'd say most people don't really encounter 10 traumas in their entire lifetime... I mean, in a vague sense of "injury"- sure, absolutely. But I think there's a real danger in throwing a "trauma!" label on things that maybe don't qualify. (In this way, I'd say that the criteria we use to definite...
Nightmares again from the past. But have been journaling so that could be what is triggering the nightmares. Also bringing up things I had not remembered either.
Thank you for these insights.:tup: As a newer member taking baby steps I know that it will take time to heal, having not started a diary yet, and I also find them hard to read on the site. It gives me hope that I will get there.:)
I hope that when you arrive you will get some relief. It is good to treat yourself to your favorite things. Things you really really like, as that helps. Spoil yourself, pamper yourself if you can. Try to do one a day if possible of something you really like. Even if it is eating an ice...
No way are you senile or old. I was once with a group of women with Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD) and got to see it first hand.:):):) I have PTSD - Complex. Was trying to figure the other me's inside of me. I think I have structural disassociation now. Well still working on it. T's do not...
Having this website here, you can come and go at anytime of the day or night. :hug::tup::):cry::banghead::depressed::cautious::mad::confused::D:alien::laugh::unsure:;):hug: and it does not matter how you are feeling either, you are always welcome or find something to uplift you hopefully.
Having a laptop and being able to journal on it. Even it is 3am in the morning and can't sleep. I can see what I am writing in the dark. :laugh: LOL. I just need glow in the dark keyboard. ;)
Sorry all very confusing time wise. Could you put up a couple of times zone times eg. England, America, Europe & Australian just so people can figure out their times by country as the above is hard to figure out.
Good post Phoenix. :tup: We adopt roles in life as they come along. But who I am really is the question. I am a survivor apart from that I do not know.
