The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. It is longer than 300 pages, but it sounds good. Here's the Amazon link so you can read about the plot and reviews and see if it sounds interresting.
I'd be interested. I'm currently reading "No Comfort Zone", which is a PTSD related book, but not a self help type of thing.
Anthony, you should think about a Kindle if it takes that long. I get downloaded books within minutes. I always thought I'd be a "real book" loyalist, but I got a...
Popeye has a PTSD service dog named Abby, and Deaf Global Nomad has a non-PTSD service dog named Bright. DGN is a moderator here. Somewhere here is Popeye's original posts about when he first got Abby. Definitely worth doing a search for.
I have dogs... but mine just shed. ;)
I've got one of those trackers too. Very convienient, gotta tell ya. Mine can be WAY off. 9 days is no biggie for me at all. If you track it for 6-9 months and still find yourself crazy irregular, it might be worth mentioning next time you go in for a regular checkup. One cycle being off...
Most definitely. I get periods where I'm "numb". The upside for me is, I can handle the periods of depression much better when I'm not feeling like I'm walking around with a knife stuck in my chest. The downside is, joy and happiness take an exit too. I can smile and laugh, and look pretty much...
Posting here hasn't bothered me as much as you mentioned, but I've definitely felt like you've described, Nicci. I TOTALLY felt like I was going to flipping DIE when I first started therapy. I mean, come on, people PAY to do this? Wouldn't a pedicure and a massage be alot cheaper and loads more...
The Midwest US Support Group is planning to meet in the chatroom on Wednesday nights at 7pm Central time. If you're interested in joining the group and live in the midwest US, please feel free to PM Clairbear226. Our goal is to plan on getting together in person periodically, as well as continue...
Oh, POOP! I totally forgot you guys are a whole day ahead of us. To make it there at 8am on Thursday your time would have been WEDNESDAY at 3pm my time. Fudgebuckets. Sorry I missed it, and I hope it was happy!
Happy Birthday and happy New Years, Anthony! I'm off to go find the time zone clocky thing to see when the Chicago crowd needs to show up. Hope it's a happy one!
Wow. This is the kind of post that makes me not want my husband on here. How disheartening. I understand that this was directed to those that aren't married, but since my husband and I dated for 4 years before we tied the knot, I know a few things about a PTSD relationship. I also understand...
See, I've found the opposite to be true. I have a few women that I consider myself close with, but not close enough that I'd really rely on them to get me through a rough patch. I'll pick up the phone and chit chat a little here and there, but I don't delve into what's really bugging me. I've...

These are some of the stories the author of the book chose that have stood out to him this year. It's a good little read, and I hope for next Christmas that my passing this along will spur someone else on to begin...
I'm usually very much the crafty/ bakey/ Christmassy type, and this year I've really pared things down to the bare minimum. I decided I don't need to do it all every year, and this year I really need less to stress over in my life. My enthusiasm for the season has been nill this year - and no...
