I was wondering last night when computers went from being all technical like the commadore 64 to the current versions. Apparently they contribute that to the invention of the mouse. Douglas Engelbart invented the mouse back in 1964 but it wasn't used on a personal computer until the Xerox 8010...
I have noticed recently that I have random questions constantly running in my head. I have also researched alot of these things on the internet. Like a few nights ago my son and I were talking about serial killers. Still not sure how that subject came up but regardless I started searching things...
I answered that I don't get sick. I do however seem to injure myself more than others like my shoulder and I cut my fingers a lot. I don't do these on purpose I just seem to be very accident prone lately. Like today I tripped on the steps and hit my head rather hard on the ceiling. yes the...
I have been wondering if I am alone in this. If I end up having a panic attack either in a store or a movie theater I get this look from people that makes me feel extremely uncomfortable. It's a look that sort of says "that guy's crazy stay away from him" this is the same look that currently has...
just wondering if there is anyone from my area that is willing to have a get together. I live outside of Milwaukee but I am willing to travel upwards of 50 miles. let me know.

I also am not working at the moment and I am currently looking into becoming a dog trainer. I have noticed that there are no service dog training companies in the state of Wisconsin at least none that I can find online. I would like to train PSD (psychiatric service dogs) but I would also train...
I read this thread a long time ago and since my mother sent me a joke I went on a scavenger hunt for the Pilot/Mechanic jokes to send her back. Since having spent the last 2 hours (slow reader) rereading everything and laughing so hard I was in tears I decided to bring some of my own jokes to...
When I started coming to this forum there was a rather large group of us online through out the day. Now it seems whenever I sign on there is no one online in the chat anymore. I miss my daily chat with you all. I miss having friends to tell whatever my goofy kids did during the day. Maybe we...
Sticks I understand it completely. I am not sure if alot of us have this problem but for me I feel that things need to be in control in some way and if they are not in control or at least the way they should be I fly off the handle. like simple things such as a mess made in the bathroom by the...
Outside Looking In,
I am going to be going to a technical college where i live. Do most colleges have programs like the one you talked about? because if so I cannot find it at my school. Today I will be going to the humane society to talk to them about service dogs. they might help me in...
I have been researching PSD training here in my area. A lot of the trainers have never heard of psychiatric service dogs. I myself have a 3 year old Chocolate Lab that I love very much but has his issues. I am considering either training him to be a PSD or getting a dog to be a trained PSD...
well I was fired from my last job while I was out of work due to my ptsd. I was hospitalized for a brief period adn my doctors told me going back to work would not help me recover. and while I was on disability they "laid me off". due to cutbacks they said but for some reason I was the only one...
I am going to be applying to new jobs soon for my auto mechanics class. My fear though is since I have work related PTSD I have the potential to have flashbacks or panic attacks while at work. I can't just walk in and not tell them about it because if I do that and I freak out at work I can be...
I think if I had a choice I would be a custom car designer. but that would mean i'd have to be able to draw. If i had a better singing voice I might try being a singer in a band. Or Possibly even a veterinarian.
You know something being a man I am not supposed to admit things like this. But I am 6 ft 4 inches tall 280lbs and I have a teddy bear that I named teddy also. He has been with me ever since I can remember. He used to be the push button type that would repeat what you said but he broke after...
I think i can relate to this because there was a whole bunch of us close to 400 of us at the plant when it blew up and from what i have heard only about 8 of us got ptsd from it. does it make me weaker i don't think so i think it makes me just more sensitive. there are alot of variables to...
I am doing EMDR right now and it doesn't seem to be doing much... I have been to about 10 sessions of it already and still no effect on me. wondering if it is even going to work. But i am still going because that is the recommended treatment according to alot of doctors
I am not a combat vet but kinda close to it. I can't really help you out with the anger issues because i am struggling to control my own anger. but I can say this much stick with the VA doctors and trying to talk with them... remember always you are safe now. not in "the bad place" I cannot say...
i waved good bye to my old self last year when i was at a fireworks show. I am not ready to believe I can't be that person again though. today I feel determined to become the man I was before it happened... tomorrow may be different though
life is back to normal for the most part. power is back on and so is the internet. thank you all for your support we just wanted to let you all know that it might have been down for awhile... these things happen when hubby (aka me) isn't working.
