There is another topic started by Dr Roerich. In my opinion, this is one of the most pertinent on this forum: http://www.ptsdforum.org/thread3202.html Left Brain Struggles To Put Right Brain Emotion Into Words

I am the music instrument guy, lrs. I have been called IRS, but it's actually Lrs. For a while my gender icon had me as a female, but I am definetely a male person.:wink: I wrote a story about my experience, and it is posted on this forum, in this section, I think it might be on pg 8 or...

Cindy I can sure relate to your story. Even with the things I have learned and the things I have done for the past 4 years, it is still difficult to sort things out sometimes. To be sure, I have made significant mistakes, and the ones I love the most paid a price. And I am responsible for my...

Good post. No, they were not willing to understand, but I also know those were hard times for us. My family of origin showed the most understanding, b/c they lived the same nightmare I did growing up. My extended family, aunts, uncles, people I looked up to were caring on one hand...

There is a lot of good in this life. One of my favorite things is to go fishing. My favorite kind of fishing is surf fishing, and that's what I'll be doing the next 3 days. I'm headin out in the morning, going shark fishing on the coast. I've never actually caught a big shark, but it's...

I have this myself, even today. I did a google search and came up with this from cureresearch.com They call this mania, and there is such an extensive list of causes of mania, the list is alphabetized. Mania can be caused by everything from amphetamines to rabies. Odd, it did not...

I wish I could answer this question, but I don't really know.

Congratulations, that's awesome!!!

Only 1, for restless leg syndrome.

When I first contacted Anthony, and later Dr Roerich, the question you are asking now, WAS the big question. I do not know of a guide, or any literature that pertains to your question. I don’t know if anyone has yet to address this issue because PTSD is still considered incurable. But I can...

This is a good question. :clap: If you could wave a magic wand in front of a person, remove the symptoms of PTSD, what kind of person would there be? :think: Guess who will be thinking about this question for a few days!!! :dontknow:

You go Anthony. You da man!

My favorites are bluegrass, jazz, and gospel. I also like marches and classical music.

I'm about as clear as mud on this. If you have PTSD, YOU HAVE PTSD!!!

That's not Irs, it's Lrs actually. Here in the US, most of us dont' particularly care for anything that is abbreviated IRS. (smiley face)

I have mixed feelings about this. To me, it is a matter of the appropriate time. I remember a couple of movies that triggered me in the old days. One was "Brubaker" with Robert Redford. In the beginning of the movie, one of the inmates was a black man, who was stripped from the waste up...

The Incredible Hulk has the worst PTSD I've ever seen. How'd you like to sneak up behind HIM, and tap him on the shoulder.

I would advise that you do NOT mention that you have been diagnosed with PTSD.

In earlier childhood, I was extrovert, then total introvert in late teens up until recent years. Now I don't feel like either one.

Oh yes, one more thing. I do have a weak spot for home made quilts.

What a great thread, I've enjoyed this one. If you are artistic, or even if your'e not, but you enjoy doing,I think you should do it. Don't let anybody stop you from doing it. Don't worry if it's good or bad, just do what you are capable of. If you don't think it's any good, don't beat...

Yes I do think it was the attempt that I made to learn to play left handed. I am right handed, and this description will be from that perspective. I had been playing a stringed music instrument, a right hand5 string banjo, for just over 20 years. When I first picked up a left hand banjo, it...

If you think it is scary over there, you ought to be over here. And it ain't gettin better.

Many, if not all of you, know I believe PTSD is curable. My life was once crippled by PTSD. I had it pretty bad. I have written about what happened, and my story is posted on this forum. Four years ago this coming Sat morning, I told my wife I no longer had ptsd. It has been 4 years since...
