I have two cats and one huge dog. The cats came first and were hand raised since 4 days old. Their mother died, and my friend couldn't take care of the kittens. The huge dog, a rottweiler about 180 lbs now, came to us a 6 weeks and grew up around the cats. We've had rotties and cats raised...

I think I had a fat lip the first few years of my life, at least that's what mom says. She said I constantly was running into things (wall, doors, furniture, tables, etc..) or falling down on my face. It didn't get any better in adolescence and I found myself hyper and shaking all the time...

They are called peeps because they are shaped like baby chicks and are usually around in stores at Easter. They come in Easter colors...yellow pink blue etc... For some reason, they don't tend to get old...is that a good thing to eat? suzie q

Perhaps being the cookie nazi, she should take her rather unhealthy attitude to the Girl Scouts and see how far she gets! They'll kick her arse right to the curb! Shaming someone is very unhealthy. If it were me, I would approach the girl, look her dead in the eye and say "I give you back...

As I post this response, please know that I am only speaking from my experience and that of a lot of friends that have been where I was. This is just not a theory or arguement for the sake of arguement. Please, don't take the following personal... Before I was medicated by Drs., I used pot to...

Welcome to the forum Striver! What to do? I suggest taking a look around the forum articles and get educated if not already. PTSD is exhausting. The symptoms take the life out of us. If you've been diagnosed, then this is a great place to share (no one judges or criticizes) and feel free...

Manic... I understand and am experiencing some of the emotions and thoughts you have concerning any type of sex. I know that the rapes I've been through cause a lot of gut reactions when sex is even mentioned. I feel unsafe, dirty, and I just want to run when it gets to that point. I have...

Everyone is going to think I'm sick and hopeless...(and I can't believe that I'm telling you this) My deep freeze kept my dead cat for a year until my dog died and I buried them both together. They were best buds. It made sense at the time! All my friends still give me grief over my Buster...

What a question!!! For me, it involves making an informed decision, using my moral/conscience/wisdom, and waiting for the outcome. I only "trust" my judgment if I have been through similar or the same circumstances and the outcome was positive and it didn't hurt anyone, including me!! I call...

Hey there Trinomial!! You are very good at expressing your emotions. For me that has always come slowly. Through therapy, I learned that my anger was really fear. When I began to work on it from that angle, I was able to release my anger with each trauma I experienced. I took them one at...

Having a relationship is hard work. It takes patience, wisdom, and most of all, truth. When I have symptoms from PTSD, I feel as if no one understands. I tend to over-react and allow my emotions to take over instead of my ability to communicate. When I do that, I am pushing away anyone in my...

Glad you found the forum! You are in the right place for pain and PTSD. Reaching out is hard, but the payoff is fantastic. Look around the forum and read up on questions you may have. As you get to know the forum, you will find posts and threads that can answer things from others who share...

There was a time when I would lose time. My dissociation would catch me when I was driving or doing something dangerous. When I came to, I always was in awe that I hadn't hurt someone or myself. I never understood how that could happen. I went to a dissociative specialist and he was able to...

The 72 hour stay should give you some time to relax and take care of you. His current female doctor sounds way out of line in my opinion. I have had to take lots of different medications to find out the ones that work for me. Someone just randomly giving meds that react with others you are...

Annie...I knew eventually the music we loved and grew up on would end up oldies, but so soon??? I'm just waiting for those "oldies" to be playing in elevators! LOL That"s when I'll just shake my head and take the stairs. I remember Lawrence Welk. My mom used to MAKE us watch Mutual of...

Great thread!!! That movie was awesome! My bucket list...things I want to do before I kick the bucket: 1. Move to the Tahitian Islands and hang out/all expenses paid 2. Spend a month diving the Great Barrier Reef 3. Dive with whales and dolphins and be able to swim with and touch one 4...

In my opinion, no one should have to remember H.R. Puffnstuff!! The only show worse than that was Land of the Lost. Just had to love those men in rubber alien lizard suits! What was that stupid little hopping thing that looked like a monkey but wasn't a monkey? When you watch reruns of Lost...

So glad that you found this forum!! As a PTSD sufferer, I can tell you that if your SO displays angry, violent or erratic behavior there is little you can do to "fix" or stop it. Once I begin feeling those intense negative feelings, I shut down and am unable to receive advise. Those that are...

Hello Monarch! Glad you got home safe. Your photo of where you stayed made my mouth water!! I am so surprised that you went back home...I would have stayed and to hell with the north and its cold weather!!!! My husband and I used to go scuba in Marathon and Islamorada. I am soooo jealous of...

Hey pixie! Yeh, running out of meds is the pits!! Like everyone around, I'm counting the days to sunny warm skies. Soon summer will be here and we'll all be gripping about how darn hot it is. Just a thought......since you live pretty close to the pharmacy, would they deliver? That way their...

Glad you found the forum!! What I like most about this site is that there many great articles about PTSD &CPTSD. Knowing what the problem is helped me tremendously by reducing my anxiety. Can't fight something that's invisible, right? I hear what you are saying about not knowing what will be...

So glad your friend is OK. Next time you talk to him, tell him a woman in Tennessee says "thanks for taking my place in fighting for our country." I'm a U.S. veteran. I pray he is treated with dignity and respect when he comes home. Why do I watch the news anymore? Just like you said, the...

Hello ranger Glad you found the forum. It always feels good when you have others who understand your disease. We are a friendly lot and are here to help in any way we can. Hope to see ya around!

Hey there boxersgalore!! Glad you found the forum. It has a ton of information on PTSD and how we can live with it day by day. I didn't really understand all the symptoms I had, and the information here helped me tremendously on what I was facing. Unfortunately, this disease is not...

I absolutely LOVE this thread!!! Why do I say I am suicidal when all I really want is for the pain to go away? Does a dog's personality really change when he is neutered? Does it make him angry? Why are humans so afraid of little tiny insects, like they have teeth and poison on all of them...
