Maddog, I love your answers. Right to the point. LOL.
I ticked sometimes. I only call him when I need something really bad. I know if I had to see him on a regular basis, I'd fire him. But since I only see him once in a while, it's okay.
I just read that article you posted. You made some incorrect assumptions. I'm sorry I blasted you with my personal stuff. Perhaps you should reread what they said.
Just one more comment, than I'll shut up. The day the police rescued me, my sister was beat to death, which is why the police came...
Abuse was never a good way to parent a child. Never! I was not just spanked or sent to my room. I was traumatized, I was tortured, almost starved to death (had protein malnutrition when rescued), and abandoned to live with the animals all before I was 5 years old.
While that did not cause my...
Whitney, I don't have a cam, and I love chatting with you all. I'm rather paranoid to let people see me. lol. Besides, it might break your computer if you could see me.
(((( Sheila )))), Have you put ice on that leg? For about 20 minutes. Keeping it elevated is a good idea, but don't forget, you need to keep the circulation going on to avoid blood clots.
Sounds a lot like neuropathy. You might want to check your blood sugars. Bless your heart. I can so relate...
I'm so proud of you, Ice_Fire. You did good.
Today is a new day. Be sure to breathe some good cleansing breathes. You might want to peek outside today and look at nature. Smell the air (cough cough). Touch a tree.
Thinking of you today.
Hi Trib. Take some breathes, girl.
First off, you don't need all those pages of medical records. Just provide them with the names of the doctor's and/or hospitals. Secondly, your girl friend can fill out all the forms for you, then you will need to sign and verify that the information is...
Hi Alsatrus,
Welcome to the PTSD Forum. You've come to a good place to be able to talk and have people understand. I agree with what the others have said. You need to see your Doctor as soon as possible. I am so proud of you for going to the police. I know how scary that is, and how they tend...
Thanks Eleanor. I read that list. I'd say they were spot on.
I tend to struggle with just neighbors who want to become friends that tend to "force" themselves on me. Like, telling me very personal stuff just so I will do the same, then get upset when I won't tell them anything about myself...
I have been on our do-not-call list for a few years, yet I still get calls. I just ask them for their name, and then hang up on them.
But, since that stalker last year, I did get rather nervous about the breather. Those who want personal information, I just start laughing hysterically after...
Safe hugs if you'll allow it, ice_Fire. Know that I'm thinking of you tonight. If you go to bed, will you be able to sleep, or will it just give you more time to think?
Hi John,
Welcome to the PTSD Forum. Sorry you got treated so crappy by those who should have protected you. Been there myself, it really sucks as an adult to think we've been treated that way.
You will find a lot of really good people here. They are very supportive. There is also a lot of...
I know exactly how you feel.
I'm angry that my body is being ill today. I have an important meeting tonight, and I don't want to have to keep excusing myself so I can go quickly to the bathroom. Sigh.
Hi atlanticblue,
Welcome to the PTSD Forum. As you've seen, there are a lot of wonderful, caring, sensitive, supportive people here.
Take your time, and look around. Check out the wiki threads on the home page. Lots of good information there.
Nice to meet you.
Hi InHell,
It is very scary to think you have to depend upon others, when in the past that didn't work out so well. SSI will help with some basics, but you need to also apply for medicaid to help with your medical expenses, and food stamps to help in that area. I do know that there are...
