Those are great goals, Awakening. I'm trying to do the 21 day challenge. I have it set up in my journal/diary to keep track of how I'm doing. I hope others respond to your thread. I'll check in from time to time to see how you're doing. What are you going to do to self=monitor your stress...

I also clicked "like" as I support you. I am so sorry you also feel this type of shame. Please know that it is not your fault. I also know what it's like to have that happen more than once. You did nothing to bring it about. Shame on those men who abused you in this horrible way. I hope you...

Hi Annie. Welcome to the PTSD Forum. I recommend you go to the home page and read in the wiki section on The PTSD Cup. It will help you to understand some things that can help explain what you are going through. You are going to find lots of wonderful, supportive people here. And talking...

What does that consist of?

(((( gizmo )))), sorry to hear that. Today really sucked big time. I have a horrible day. All I wanted to do was sleep, but I couldn't get comfortable. I have a hard time with the fact that I've been sleeping way to much since last Friday. I didn't even wake up until 9am that day. Yesterday...

Hi conquer, The only thing I can suggest is to volunteer at a children's hospital, or an old folks home. Even if it is only one day a week, it can make a big difference in your life. I also recommend you get a pet. One that needs to be taken outside to poop, etc.

HI Shawna, Please, don't be angry at your mother. After 35 years she is probably trying to find herself and that is why she hasn't been in touch with you. I'm sorry to hear what you have been through. I can only imagine how horrible that must be for you. (((( Shawna ))), if you will allow me...

I don't like the dark inside my house. It reminds me of bad stuff that happened to me. Yet, if I'm outside, I love the night. Especially when I'm up on the mountain. It is very soothing for me. Only me and nature. Out there, you can always tell when things are all right. Inside, you can't tell...

You have no control over her actions, so try to just back away. I know you will enjoy next week.

Hello there to you from NYC, Welcome to the PTSD Forum. You will find a lot of good information here, as well as some terrific people. I've never heard of that new method of breathing-integration "The Presence Process". But it sounds interesting. I hope it works for you. I do hope you can...

Print this out, and you and your dad go over it together. It just might help. https://www.ptsdforum.org/c/threads/how-it-all-began.30110/page-10#post-499347 I agree with you about our veterans are treated. Disgraceful.

Hi namdaughter. Welcome to the PTSD Forum. Your dad is in a tough spot, as are you. I'm so sorry that the Veterans Administration (VA) has bunch of idiots in it. It has gotten worse over the years, rather than better. At least, from what I've seen with many of my friends. Since he is having...

Yes. Mercy, this is very true. Do your little feel safe with your current therapist? Just recently, I had to type several things (from several points of view) then give them all to my therapist, but make sure he read the last page (which is the one who has the issue we needed to cover the...

Twizzted, if you are still around. We all get those when we first start. It is not directed at you in particular.

I can't believe it missed it again. Sigh. I need a clock set up I can understand.

Twizzted, They will not delete your posts. I hope you can change your mind about leaving. Why do you think it is not for you? If you don't mind me asking?
