You don't have to even read any more of that material. Just send them a "Thank you, but no thank you." and let it be done. It is obvious, that job would not be for you. Although, you might find it quite refreshing to give them a truthful reply. Be exact and honest. LOL. Sometimes it shocks...

(((( BB1300 )))), if you'll allow me to hug you.

Be careful, raven. There are some posts that might trigger you.

Don't trip chocolate chip. What I hear from your post is that you have two issues you need to work on. 1) fear 2) loving your children and accepting who they are. Sugar, your children love you too. Just because they didn't say anything in reference to that horrible jerks comments, doesn't...

Hi BB. How you doing today?

If you are a Christian, you can chase those away. They are afraid of Jesus Christ, so just ask Him to help you and they will leave immediately. He has power over all evil and they can't stand up when He is invited into your home and life. Bless your heart and mind. I know how scary that can...

Any advice on chosing a juicer? Get one with a stainless steel basket. No plastic of any kind. Use glass containers to keep it in. No plastic or aluminum of any kind. If you get a cheap on that has those things, you are doing more harm than good. I recommend you save up for a good one. It will...

For those who want to draw on the right side of the brain more, I recommend this book: I am an artist, and this book really helped : Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain: The Definitive, 4th Edition.

Raven, I'm not sure if I sent this to you or not. It is a message we wrote to you that I found in our diary this morning. Anyway, here it is. I hope it helps. https://www.ptsdforum.org/c/threads/how-it-all-began.30110/page-31#post-528710

I remember how tender my second husband was when he saw my back the first time. He gently touched it, then ask me who did it. Those are old scars from my youth. I told him, my step-mother. He stood up and began to pace the room. He growled and made some comments, then I stood and wrapped my arms...

In tribute to the men who served. Old work.

Might I recommend a little book and a good stainless steel juicer? The book is called "Juicing for Life" by Cherie Calbom and Maureen Keane. For chronic pain, a little book, "Pain Free" by Pete Egoscue. Let me know how you do. The first couple of days or even up to a week, you are going to...

I second this statement.

Check out this article that was shared with me tonight. I think you might find some interesting facts that can explain it for you. http://www.hiddenhurt.co.uk/dissociation.html I share with you, this is the first time I've ever seen a professional say it just like it really is, and put it into...

That therapist must be new to the field of PTSD. Use caution around whatever they suggest to you. On a positive note, Welcome to the PTSD Forum. While there is no "cure", there is hope. Once you learn how to deal with triggers/anxiety, you can learn what your boundaries are and live good life...

Thanks to the net, you have one now.

Hi Mary Lois, Welcome to the PTSD Forum. Sorry you had to experience that. Flashbacks can drive a person nuts. They are all a part of the PTSD diagnoses. I agree that you need some medication to help you sleep, but know that won't end the flashbacks. Sleep is vital to your mental and physical...

Hi Mark, Welcome to the PTSD Forum. You are in a good place. I suffer from PTSD from multiple traumas, myself. I've been pistol whipped before when I was younger. Had to get a new cheek bone and plastic surgery after they got me back together again. They did other things as well, which I...

You described it perfectly. My sister and I got hit over nothing. So we were careful of everything. We kept our eyes lowered so we didn't accidently get a "look" she didn't like. We stayed close to the wall so we didn't sail across the room when we got hit. My sister always tried to be sure...

When I was younger, I got a lot of that "suck it up" type of advice. I think you know the kind I mean. Well, I tried that, it didn't work. It just made things worse. But once I got to the point that when I needed to cry, I cried. When I needed to mourn, I mourned. When I needed to grieve, I...

Thank you, Core. When I look through your eyes, I feel warm and happy that I can be that type of strong. It is very humbling as well.

I had one event in my life that depresses me so bad, there were times I didn't want to live. While I have PTSD from multiple traumas, this particular event took away my joy and my reason to live. It took away my purpose. The first few years after it happened, they kept me drugged out of my mind...

I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that my father hated me. However, he is not the one who abused me. Rather, he ignored me and all that happened to me. As an adult, I figured out that he had to have known what was going on in that house. How could he not know? Now, what he did to my sister...

Been there, done that, bought the t-shirt, then burned it. Way back, when I was younger, I had a similar situation. When my cousin told my ex-husband where I was living in 1992, he let me know if I didn't come to him he would come to me. It scared the hell out of me, and I freaked. My roommate...

Good stuff, Orglethorp. Thanks for sharing.
