Good for you, Bonne! You should be so proud of yourself! I'm glad you know you're no longer alone. Also, you have helped so many of us as well.... You've helped me so very much. Good for you. You're an amazing, grown, woman. Thank you... From the bottom of my heart... Thank you...

That's a lot of the PTSD. I have been abused for 20 years and yet I often tell myself that I've hardly been through anything. I minimize all my situations most of the time and a lot of people do. Acceptance is one of the steps. Manic

This is a common problem most members have. This site can be very triggering and is very triggering but talking about trauma and anxiety is never easy. If we can't talk about it here, where can we talk about it right? Things get worse before they get better. If it helps at all, think of it as...

Happy Christmas (War Is Over) - The Used! I remembered and found it today! Woohoo for me! Hehe Manic

Hehe....yeah. Had to point it out ISH! :wink: I've been thinking a lot of about Christmas music lately (how could I not, its being played EVERYWHERE!) and I seem to only enjoy the sadder songs. For example... I don't know the name of it but it's been redone by quite a few artists including a...

Happy Holidays, Skyp! Hope its goes well and you get some time for yourself. Manic

I wish everyone were equal whether it's black, white, gay, straight, man, woman, fat, skinny, old, young, etc. Manic

I have the opposite problem. I'm actually suffering with this right now. I'm going through lots of tests and things because the doctors can't figure out whats wrong with me. They think I may have gallstones or gall bladder disease. I'm not able to eat. If I eat, there's extreme amounts of pain...

She Cat, that is so true! Manic

Hello growingpains. Are you sure when you were writing your introduction you weren't talking about me? By the sounds of it we've been through a lot of the same things. You aren't alone here and you can do this. I have to ask though, why do you say PTSD saved your life? Manic

I completely 100% agree Cragger!! :thumbs-up Manic

That one made me laugh! I like it. I have little quotes and things laying around to help calm me down sometimes. For example, I have a sign in my bedroom that says "I have PTSD. PTSD does not have me." I think that's another one I can use! A lot of these quotes and sayings are great. Thanks...

Thanks, ISH! And congrats on your 500 posts! You're now a senior in more than one way... :rofl: Christmas is a very hard time for some, me included and I'm not quite sure how I'm going to get through it yet. Cross the bridge when it comes, I suppose. I will look up that song though. It sounds...

Yep, this has happened to me quite a few times. Sometimes I just end up at a destination and I can't remember why I'm there or how I got there. It happens just in general. Sometimes it's just that I'm on "autopilot" like when I drive home from work everyday. But I have dissociated in that way...

Welcome TagsJay! :hello: I hope you find a lot of help and support in this forum. Good for you for confronting this and continuing the steps to heal. Manic

Welcome to the forum, Sebastian! :hello: Hope you find all you need here. Manic

Growing up I was taught that the only reason I was here was to be a punching bag for others. I was to take the beatings, rape, verbal abuse, people coming to me with their problems no matter how stressed out I am, etc because that's why I'm here. Lovely, right? I'm trying to retrain my brain...

I do this for different things! It really helps to keep track of things. I didn't see the point in one until I did it. My doctor would ask me if I've had any pain in a certain area and I would say no then only to find out later on that I was, I just thought it was a cramp. I keep track of my...

I've been there. I'm sure we've all been there at one point. I'm sorry you're having so much trouble but try to remember, we're all looking for support from one another. We don't join this forum, look for someone who we get support from the most and stick with them. That's more like a dating...

Pixie, Definitely good questions... In my opinion it depends on a couple different things. How do you think your carer will handle it? Do you think they will understand, get scared by it, etc. Also, most importantly, are you ready to tell him the details. Yes, I noticed you said you have been...

"If there were nothing wrong then there'd be nothing right" I was going to get that tattooed. Lyric from one of my favorite songs. Manic

Sometimes we have situations where we just need to hear some inspirational words. Or sometimes we have situations where we just don't know what to say... I was wondering if anyone knows any inspirational quotes sayings. Thanks! Manic

Like She Cat said its still Wednesday here (that is so weird...) but I wish you a Happy Birthday! I hope you do something nice for yourself and you have a great time. You have taught me so much and it's great to be your co-editor! Hehe Take care and drop me a line sometime! It's been too long...

Happy Birthday Pandora! Hope it went well. :) (There needs to be that singing icon available for posts...I could sing you Happy Birthday!) LOL Manic

Hello Pixie! Welcome to the forum! I also suffer from C-PTSD. When it comes to finding support, information and people to relate to this is definitely the place to be. I hope you find what you need to and in all due time, I hope you're able to let out your story. Peace and healing Manic
