It is what it is Lucycat. The hardest thing (for me) to overcome is the sad fact human beings can be horrifically evil. Once you get past that...you heal with the God given (Mother nature,buddah allaha whatever you believe in) strength you already had to begin with and become stronger. :) Trust...

My friend was trying to suggest people who suffer PTS are the weakest link. Clearly that's not the case.

For me...it IS the point. It's a journey through hell..I'll give it that! :( Whatever you do ...keep walking. My journey through PTS indicates it's an injury. An injury I wouldn't have otherwise experienced. Mental and bodily injuries injured my mind AND body causing me to randomly re live...

THANK YOU! :joyful: Hashi I refuse to allow the bastards to get me down. I refuse to allow their craziness to seep into my life. IMO that's what the D in PTS stands for. I will defend my sanity and address my symptoms of PTS. :)

My friend was trying to simplify the problem. His suggestion as to the reason for asholeishness in the world today is innate. In a world constantly changing I'm happily challenging his theory. :)

Thank you. I hear you! I had that same thought for years. I kept coming back to there has to be more. A better reason. Do people really understand the world and self awareness at the same levels? No. They don't. It's the difference between sympathy and empathy. We live in a precarious world. Ask...

Just for clarification who uses and abuses them? LOL

This isn't an argument. You don't have to agree. ~Shrug :) Are you aware everything on this planet is evolving right at this very moment? LOL Yes..you pointed. You do that a lot. LOL Are you sure it's me?!

Meh...Until you define the need for a whipping boy.... Little billy bad ass is a chump. He's mentally deficient and the weakest link. Have you ever noticed they run in packs?

We process trauma differently. That's all. It sure beats allowing worthless SOB's to cause you to give up on life. That IS what I call "gone horribly,horribly wrong."

Please don't lump me into the "broken" pile. I have PTS symptoms like everyone else here. I choose to look at the bigger picture. And that my friend is the opposite of narcissism. LOL! We ARE more evolved than our abusers. :) They're discussing changing the name to PTSInjury. I believe...

Wow. Nobody is "lucky" to have PTS. Nobody. I'm not suggesting it is. There's a gift in every problem and that includes PTS. I choose to defy PST with the same tenacity as I did my abusers.:)

I had an interesting conversation with a friend about Darwin and PTS. The whole survival of the fittest. Put two organisms in a petri dish both will fight and one will win out. Put three and one ends up a scapegoat. OK I hear that. However,it dosen't wipe out the whole species and ultimately...

Why is it important for those around you to understand PTS? Easy answer. So I know that they understand..life. Life beyond their realm. Not many people are open minded enough to take the time to understand PTS. Those who do...yeah only then do we have anything in common. :)

If you're in the military you're given awards for surviving battles. What's the difference? Society in general needs to learn the difference! We have soldiers risking their life for our freedom and society writes them off as damaged souls. How disturbing is that? PTS survivors everywhere need...

Exactly! Perfectly normal children and adults are abused all the time by idiots. The idiots are the ones mentally disordered. They're the ones who should be walking around with their heads hung low with shame! Never forget that. Ever. :)

Exactly! The peace within. :) The depth of trauma = depth of peace. That's a lot of peace! :joyful:

PTS comes in many forms. I was born into a pathological family dynamic. Some are born is war torn and/or starving countries..the list is endless. What do they do? We adapt. You're not born with PTS...it happens to you. It can and does give you a greater sense of life itself. A deeper meaning of...

I wholeheartedly agree it's an injury. It always depends upon where you start. PTS is a normal reaction to an abnormal situation. What's different are the many different ways people CHOOSE to cope. I personally don't coddle my PTS. Nor will I ever. I view it as the road to Shambala! :) It's an...

My family understands my PTS. They caused it. The idiot bastards enjoy it too. Calling them idiot bastards isn't a sign of any ill will it's simply what they are. LOL They suffer from Stockholm syndrome. Basically they all hate each other. Currently they're pretending to get along. They have to...

I notice a lot of discussion about setting boundaries. I have boundaries I don't necessarily set boundaries for others. I observe what theirs are by appearing to have none. Quickest way to get to know what you're dealing with.

@Xbreed..Same here. And that comes after I've tested them everyway imaginable under the sun. If they're still around. Friends we will be. :)

Welcome!!

@Justmehere..Love your profile pic. I have the same pic on my FB account. The caption says "Never let them steal your joy." :)

Last year there were a few times I thought I was having a nervous breakdown. One particularly emotional episode I was about to check myself into a hospital. I'm a strong woman who usually blooms in a crisis. I can remain calm under intense pressure. FTS It pissed me off so badly I was upset. I...
