Wherever you are, how's the weather today. I'm in Houston, we had a cold front come through, and it dried up some of the humidity. Outside, it looks so good, it looks like a picture. Just a perfect day.

That is so true.

My dad was a sadist, often beat the living crap out of me, with objects ranging to open hand, feet, fists, belt and big sticks. Sometimes I had to take my clothes off. He was a large man, and very powerfull. Sometimes, not always, it would meet any criteria you would care to list, for...

I've never even heard of a forensic psychiatrist.

I am trying to think of what to say, without going on about my own traumatic experiences. I've been where you are, and I know what it's like and what you are going through. I am proud of you and of how you are facing this. Most, if not all of us, have been in your shoes, and we are all...

I have been watching your story, and I am moved by all you have done. I do wish you all the best.

I absolutely hate it, that this has happened to you, it just makes me sick. This piece of shit, this filthy maggot infested "thing" needs to be behind bars, facing the full consequences of his actions. If I had any power, he would WANT to be in a nice safe jail cell. I am relieved that you...

In addition, if I were an elephant, I would not have to care how I looked, I could bathe in mud, and roll in the dirt whenever I felt like. It might be kind of sporting to go thundering through the occasional village as well. I wouldn't actually hurt anyone, I'd just like to watch them run. I...

I think I would be an elephant. Just kind of a big lug walking around, not worrying too much, eating all day and remembering things.

We are here to help one another, that's for sure. I can see a lot good qualities in you. You don't give up, I can see it in the work you have done on your recovery, and even in the determination you showed in pursuing something you enjoy. And you went out on a limb taking this emotional...

I was not sure if you would respond, I know it was a little intrusive. Nonetheless you did, and I applaud you for it. I wish you all the best. Leslie

Marlene, if we got off on the wrong track, please accept my apology. Your story, or what little I have seen, is intriguing. I can not help but wonder about something you have mentioned in 2 of your previous posts. You stated in your first post: “”I know that I am doing well on my...

It might be fair to say, many with PTSD do not get adequate, if any, support from family and friends. It's not that they are bad, or don't care, they just do not understand the severity, and the accompanying powerlessness.

Ladybug how is it going? Is this person still giving you a rought time?

The time frame was that I started taking omega-3 around sept or october 2003, then I started the left hand playing the last saturday of 12/2003. I continued to take the omega-3's regularly, on a daily basis, for the next 2-3 years. I still play left hand banjo, though not as much the past 6...

Your location is not stated on your site. If you are in the U.S., there are laws against harassment in the workplace. Sexual harassment gets the most publicity, but there are other types of harassment. If you work for a corporation, this gets serious. Harassment is defined by our company as...

Sadly, what you are reporting does not surprise me.

Forgive me, I'm just poking fun at myself. :crazy: "" If they knew how the brain functioned correctly and what really did what within it, many many issues would be resolved without having to find some pharmaceutical alternative. "" I couldn't agree more.

Yeah, but knowing the end result would kinda take some of the fun out of it. :smile:

I do know how hard it is to do this. My mother picked me the last day of school my junior year in high school. We were fearfull he might try to kill us. He was more than capable of this, physically and psychologically. I lived with an Uncle that summer, the others in my family lived with my...

In response to Lisa, sorry, but you have not done what I did. I applaud what you did do, not many would show the determination, and put in the effort, and I’m not minimizing it. But is not the same. In the past 4 years, I have made an effort to learn many things as a lefty. Day to things...

Amen !!! This guy sounds like a total jerk. You need to drop kick that sucker through the goal posts of life.

It has been more than 4 years since I have had symptoms of PTSD. I have nothing to gain by being dishonest about saying this. For more than 30 years, my mind relived beatings, and other specific instances of EXTREME, emotional and verbal abuse. When normal people could walk outside and see...

When I was really going downhill, in Jan 2002, this did happen to me. I was called into an administrator's office where I worked, and grilled for some missing paperwork. ( I was not the one who lost it ). I'm standing in the office, this woman is at her desk. My spirit, if you call it that...

I think you should watch it, the sooner the better. I'm a guy, so I didn't cry. I did once have to leave the room though (for an unrelated matter). I looked at several reviews for this film, all of which condemned and trivialized this wonderfull movie. I've never seen such stupidity. They...
