    Forgiveness - Where Do You Think It Belongs In The Recovery Process?

    Bec, I really admire that. That's amazing of you! Not many people can say that and mean that. This is comforting getting everyone's opinion. I felt like I had no hope because I was no where near forgiving them. This is because I don't feel that they even did anything wrong! I feel that I...

    Is Being OK Scarier Than Having PTSD?

    Well personally, because I have been abused all my life, being "okay" is terrifying because fear is all I know. This is all I know. Another part of it is that I've been so trained that I do not deserve to be okay. So thinking about me being okay in the future scares me because I don't feel like...

    Snakes

    I'm still having a lot of non-trauma related nightmares and I don't get it. In last night's nightmare, I was walking through this barn like place. I couldn't really see anywhere but it was wooden boards for the floor, there were leaves all over the floor and there was a bed there. I'm pretty...

    General Does One Time Of Day Trigger More Than Another?

    With me personally, I get anxious in the evenings and I also text friends just to chat. I need that company. During the day, I'm fine to be alone. I'm calm, relaxed (for the most part) and "normal". In the evening I find it most triggering. I think it's because my trauma happened mostly in the...

    Period and Symptoms

    Yes! I feel like this as well. PMS can't help that's for sure! However, I have had these moments plenty of times when it wasn't even close to "the time". So yes, its definitely hard to say. In my opinion, you can't completely blame it on PMS. However, PMS definitely doesn't help! *Sigh* And men...

He's back in time for Christmas, back for 2 more months of basic training then he's deployed to god knows where. He said he's going to be an Artillery Man. I...

    Man Using Excuse Of Being A Vet To Get What He Wants

    Onefineday, Don't worry about an off topic rant! If anyone has examples or stories of this then feel free to share! Those are definitely good ideas! I told one of my co-workers all about him because she can be a bit of a b**** to the customers if she needs to be. In other words, she knows how...

    I Called In Sick To Work

    Yes! I definitely have been in the same situation. I know what you mean by it felts so good! I agree, its not good to isolate yourself and to feed into the agoraphobia but when it's just a day or two I look at it as taking an emotional break from some of my anxiety. Just so I can relax, my...

    Man Using Excuse Of Being A Vet To Get What He Wants

    That is exactly why I was against the manager giving him his way! Now he knows that if he pushes enough that he will get his way and it makes us look like morons! :wall: He looks to be in his 80's so its not like he's young and saying this. Either way, its completely unacceptable! I warning my...

    The So Called Second Session And I No Longer Respect My Therapist

    I agree with 2quilt. That maybe a sign that she is unorganized and forgetful. Might not be the right therapist for you. I understand your trust issues. I'm the exact same way. I wish you luck. Manic

    Man Using Excuse Of Being A Vet To Get What He Wants

    So let me start off by explaining that I work part-time at a grocery store as a cashier and supervisor. There is a customer that shops there regularly. He always likes to give the cashiers a hard time. One day he told me he shouldn't have to pay tax because he is a vet. He then went on to say...
