Alcohol has been my companion for years and helped me through so much suffering. The very, very few people in my life always threaten me and give me ultimatums to persuade me to quit, but to me they are secondary to alcohol. Anyone please advise. I'm unable to quit right now. I don't feel like...

Who...?

I'd need more info i guess.... Sometimes people got to be told. I feel you're aware it's either not appropriate or not beneficial to do so. Just wondering what the factors are...

Let it fall away from you. F his games. Forget all that happened. You're already doing so well with how you responded! Good job! How much are you able to limit your contact with him?

Ugh. Yes. He will prob use every cheap tactic. I think it's called "grey rocking"; where you just remain as boring and plain and nonresponsive as possible. You gotta bore them out of your life since they crave reaction and response. Just like a plant grounded in the soil, swaying slighlty with...

I kept mine as factual as possible. I tried to stay away from victimhood, which was incredibly hard. Just be honest. Edit and re edit if needed. I just wanted to convey the truth.

Is it possible that she was unintentionally negligent? Im saying it kindly, please know. You're attributing a lot of power to this person, when we sometimes forget that medical "professionals" are capable of mistakes as well. Malpractice is common in the medical community. Why do you believe...

I suspect a battle ahead... please stay strong. If he is a true narc or socio, now is when the sappy flattery and all the mind twisting games really begin. Be prepared! Lean on us for help and support! It's as though abusers like this follow a manuscript on behavior... always this 'sour' to...

Adventure Time. Most creative series yet

Pffffft... Forget him.

I couldn't even finish reading your post in one sitting, as it made me feel so upset for you and brought on memories of an ex I had who was a lot like this guy. It doesn't matter if he is a sociopath or a narcissist. He's a jerk who can't treat you right and the best option here is to leave it...

Haven't seen enough of the series but will say that Will Conway from House of Cards is a perfect example of PTSD. To a tee!

Interesting facts you provided there... didn't know any of it! Well I have a non tradition view of death also and am not bothered by it. I get annoyed inside if people get over emotional about death with me just bc I see it as a bit of a blessing to graduate to the next level so to speak. I'm...

I wouldn't feel bad, or allow others to make me feel bad about needing my own space and my own time. I personally would be stressed too; but id keep politely yet matter of factly reiterating your need and your preference for space and solitude until you can move. It's a socially charged...

I certainly hope so... I stay to myself and dont find commeroderie in engaging in gossip. I don't speak badly about anyone because I feel its unnecessary, toxic and not helpful. I'm like a lone sheep lol. Oh well. I have a lunch with one of the higher ups next week and am struggling with...

The way he's talking to you is not acceptable. I see a lot of agitation that's coming from his internal experience obviously, as none of these situations warrant those snarky, rude responses. I'd tell him he needs to correct it as it's verbally abusive. PTSD doesn't make sense to people who...

It's mostly bad. But the good about it, for me, is that it sometimes makes me a really good judge of character and able to pick up on underlying things quicker than others. I know before others do. But. Usually it mind f's me and I'm exaggerating normal human responses, blowing them into...

That's very, very beautiful, thanks for sharing. I always thought your new name was related to dharma and greg, the sitcom.

Supervixen, song by Garbage. The first band I had a cassette to and fell in love with at 7 years old, first band I loved, first idol I ever had, first readhead I fell in absolute adoration with, first track on their first album. Lyrics in the power of sexuality, power of being a woman, power of...

I'm happy for those of you who have gone through the mourning. I feel on a continuous loop of mourning and unable to break from it. How did you?

That might be part of it, yes. And yeah sometimes you gotta just take it to reality.

I'm so sorry. That's how business works isn't it? Be what we need or be gone. I hope you've found a better career or are enjoying time off

Ugh I'm sorry. Were they not able to handle it?

In my case people dont know I have PTSD. Idk if I'd ever disclose it either :/ too personal for me to share w work folk, I feel.

Thank you all for your replies so far. I'm glad to see most of you appreciate the intimidation factor you have... I'm a little embarassed by it and it makes me feel bad that people would be fearful of me. I'm not fully understanding it. Sorry the question was short also, I was at work... lol...
