Yes, and especially in this forum- it's absolutely awesome to be able to express varying opinion without everyone going 'Poof'. :) PTSD is nothing if not a recipe for reactivity on Ricter-Level scales. I was extremely lucky to have had my youngest at age 40, or out of my mind. Both...

I'm so sorry, you are in my prayers. I was with my wonderful Dad when he died, recently. They are with everyone else we miss, love us back, know we hurt and send their angels to help us. I talk to him all the time- will say a prayer today about your pain, ask him to pray with me. Peace to you.

Now this thread is making me smile. Where else but in a PTSD meeting house do you find people requiring permission to be kind, especially to themselves. :)

You know, physiologically, when you breast feed, it makes alllll kinds of nerve endings go Lalalalalalalalala! Some women deal with it well- I did breast feed all 4 times, for varying lengths of time based on how well I could deal with what was REALLY uncomfortable for me. One of the babies...

I've been away for awhile, plus limited on time. Just saw this thread. Camera artists flatten me, have posted on this since Day One. Zero solid understanding of a good pic, so stalk other's and thank you folks, for these! I do not mean to ignore health issues but would sound silly and...

Hee, take months, no one minds. I've noticed with HORROR, once in awhile that I never answered some post from foreverandeverandever ago. I'll go over there, spend 5 paragraphs spilling my guts, apologise in all the languages I know plus make a few up, sweat bullets, worry and have angst... the...

I could have titled the thread ' Trolling for Bloom ' since she'd have stats, etc.,on exactly why it's so, so SO awful and begin a slow crawl to the factory in camo.... . :whistling: I deliberately did not post the stock photo of the little apron OR the little girl ' breastfeeding '...

That was very sweet Whitney, thanks VERY much. As ever, am always surprised when anyone takes the time to READ the wordy little piles of dreck I leave behind sometimes. You've no doubt been here long enough to know- or at least been at this whole PTSD thing long enough to know that Validation...

It's nice, isn't it Phoenix? I didn't notice how long you've been here, but please don't ever, ever worry about kind of 'getting back' to a post, or feel you HAVEE to reply or there are nameless hoards out here ready to do dreadful things involving peanut butter and mini-marshmallows to an...

No, Loloma, what would be even better than posting those pics ( which are stunning, love that mall's designer!!) is insiting yes, yes they ARE your Living Room decorations, what mall? With whatever passes for a straight face in internet-ese here in the forum. Hee. Whitney I wonder if that's...

I just came across this on the news and have NO words, surprisingly. I'd love to start laughing and not stop until New Years if I did not suspect it may do some harm across the board. Holyyyyy Heck. I get dismissive about Suzie Homemaker ovens...... The little girl puts on an apron with...

Existential angsting, NOT whining. HOLY heck, you need to stick around. There's a bumper sticker if I ever, ever saw one. You'll make MILLIONS, I tell, you MILLIONS muahahahahaha! Sorry, opportunist porn, lost sight of the thread for a second.

Nope Britt, you're NOTTT selfish, I know exactly what you're talking about- it's just the whole balance thing!! If it looks 'off', makes me a little crazy. These trees are sounding wonderful, hope pics are following. Christmas is awesome.

Hee, had to post this, since tin-foil hats representative of KooKooBeanism is a 'thing' with me. I laughed for 20 minutes, saved it, then went back and looked at it again. It's something to check in with every time I'm in danger of taking my sister and her entire crew of KooKoo Beans too...

Oh, and I think it probably is not at all helpful that we recognize when people ARE whining and manipulating for real and it's kind of 'iew' to watch, isn't it? Not wishing to be thought one of 'Them' adds to the disinclination to even say 'ouch', for me, anyway. Plus, there's this whole 'doubt'...

I wish I had more time at the moment to pay attention properly, almost missed these and thank you! I also haven't been back to the diary, not sure I will yet. It's been more than crazy out here, with the Kookoo portion of things becoming completely unglued and following us everywhereeeee. Cell...

Oh my, I LOVE the hummingbirds and pixies on white- it's just completely enchanting!! Gosh- there's something you don't see everyday, bet it gives people ideas! It wouldn't even work on a bigger tree, wouldn't be SO magical. Oh heck Nicolette, your tree is loaded compared to my sister's. NOT...

No, I totally get what you're saying. ( Please know when I give personal examples it's by way of validation- not torqing thread to ME. ) I've frequently worried, and still do, if there might be something wrong with me- sometimes that whole bonding thing, or the ability to have a Best Friend...

Well, the wires went up FIRST, then the cats. Husband and son went out together and got a MAN-Tree, which of course I then got to decorate since the testosterone part was over. One is the top-half ( telling you, this is a GUY tree, it's friggin heeyooge ), then I just gave up and laid on the...

Yes, there is a thread somewhere here on wise Facebook use for the PTSD head. :) It tends to get used as a weapon, is the thing, a dreadful stressor for an avoider. Or it's way too easy to interpret other's comments and posts as being directly pointed towards yourself, also kind of fatal. On the...

Ohhh, Evie became Christmased, Thank You CB!!! Like she could have gotten cuter, then she did!

I'd have to guess this would be an awfully familar question for a ton of u., it's wonderful that you're working SO hard at this! I'm Queen of All Avoidance and really, really good at it because I did not for far too long. Truly, much congratulations for taking such a determined approach to this...

Of course you made the choice of the most aggressive treatment. That would be a little inevitable, being you. ((((( And Peace ))))) ps What are you Rocking , with your day? Have some Zepplin going on or Lynryd Skyrnd? ZZ Top?

I have to take pics when I find the d*m camera ( see another thread.... ), but thought meanwhile would post one from the year ours went, er- down. I'd mentioned this before, it was just so traumatic I am sure it can be listed under a Wiki entry for causes of PTSD. Hee. I'd checked out of my...

Thanks Cherry Blossom, it's awfully nice to be here, for real, more than lovely to talk to you again too! I gave up on photo-shopping poor Evie, hee- thought I'd be clever and attempt a REAL Christmas Tree background. Yep. What you see is a cut-out Christmas card taped to the wall. :p I fail...
