    Anyone get sleep paralysis?

    Only had this happen a couple of times, but yeah... It sucks. Lol Scared the hell out of me the first time. Scoured the web looking for what I'd experienced, discovered what it was. The second time wasn't any more pleasant, though it was much easier to calm down afterwards knowing that a...

    People talking sht at work

    I know it's easier said than done but... f*ck em'. What's really crazy? Somebody using whatever tools they have to get their job done properly. Ya know... to ensure they are seen to be earning the money the company gives them? Or the dumb shit sitting there yapping away about how "funny" work...

    General Please help! he says he feels on the verge of nervous breakdown, what to do?

    Perhaps there is an important lesson to be gleaned from all this? You have two polar opinions about one man. One man that out of all of us here and on the other board, only you really know. If I were to be walking down a street today and pass your family on the sidewalk, I wouldn't know it. I...

    General Please help! he says he feels on the verge of nervous breakdown, what to do?

    Speaking for myself, I think this would be a pretty good way of getting through to me that I'm getting bad to the point of scaring the shit out of people. Without making me feel like I f*cked up for opening my mouth about it.

    How do i stop being bullied?

    Add me to that pile. It wasn't your fault. Nothing you did caused his respiratory distress. You were not the anaesthesiologist, surgeon or charge nurse. If you really feel the need to carry the burden of responsibility on yourself? Ok then, here's what that looks like to me. Being the only one...

    Do any of you have imaginary relationships to help you cope?

    I think you misunderstand me chem lady. I wasn't inferring that there's anything wrong with it, or for you doing it. Maladaptive daydreaming is just the clinical term for what you described. I wasn't trying to suggest there's anything wrong with you doing it if it's helpful for you.

    Do any of you have imaginary relationships to help you cope?

    That sounds like maladaptive daydreaming. It's really not super unusual. It doesn't get talked about much as it's exactly the kind of thing you would associate with "crazy". Alot of people do this though. It is often employed as a coping mechanism (much like you have done) to combat feeling...

    Do you ever feel like people use your ptsd against you?

    Happy birthday! As such, you are entitled to whatever kind of party you want. Surprise party or pity party, doesn't matter. Heck, you can have a Tupperware party if it tickles your fancy. :p

    Weirdos on social media

    Yup. If your a citizen of the US, CAN, UK, AUS... just to name a few. You are on a database. Doesn't matter if you don't even own a computer or phone. They store it electronically nowadays. Short of moving to Timbuktu, there's no avoiding it. Should be fairly safe though, at least safer than...

    Letter from hospital - is this a privacy breach?

    If the supervisor didn't call me back in a reasonable amount of time (end of business day), I'd look up online how to go about reporting it, which I'd do first thing tomorrow. Not because I'd be super worried about a beach, I'm sure it's just a clerical error, but if the problems with data...

    Weirdos on social media

    As far as I am aware, no. If you are on a register somewhere such as the IRS. You are on a database connected to a network of some variety. How difficult to access that is? I really don't know. I imagine it depends on where your information is stored and who wants to know.

    Why do people stop their medication cold turkey?

    I've done it with three separate meds, a different reason for each. Paxil (Paroxatine HCL. SSRI) Reason: Couldn't afford to keep taking it. That went poorly. I got damn near every symptom of the discontinuation syndrome in spades. Including random sudden suicidal urges. I believed I was past...

    Medical Genital mutilation

    You're right, that was inappropriate. My apologies. I don't feel I'm mind reading on this one. But maybe I am. Not sure now.... I do remember the last time you called me on something like this, you were absolutely right. You probably are now. When I'm calmed down, I'll take a hard look at...

    Medical Genital mutilation

    I understand that this is a difficult topic for you, one which we do not agree on. I also understand that is fine. Both ways. I am bowing out for now, as I don't want to get into a nasty row with someone I do respect and do find has many interesting and thought provoking ideas on a wide...

    Medical Genital mutilation

    I know they looked into a different solution. It wasn't an option for him. Nobody wants to give a 12 year old boy a circumcision. If a small incision was sufficient to fix the problem, this is what would have been done. There's no reason not too. Lots of reasons to do so. Not the least of which...

    Medical Should medical staff stop when you tell them to?

    @scout86 I agree it can be horrible for any kid having to undergo repeated distressing procedures. I think finding a way to distract or otherwise de-stress a child is far better for all involved, than just ignoring a problem to save some tears. At the end of the day, life isn't fair. Scary...

    Medical Genital mutilation

    @Anarchy I know how circumcision is performed. I said I don't believe my circumcision has effected me in a negative way. I didn't say that because I'm not bothered, no one else can be either. If you're going to quote me to make me the villain of the thread, then going on a long tangent about...

    Medical Should medical staff stop when you tell them to?

    I'm circumcised. No particular reason why it was done. Not Jewish, no history of problems. When I was an infant, people just had it performed on their kids. Personally, I don't think it's had any effect on me one way or the other. I was far too young to remember, now as an adult I just don't...

    Is being a prepper feeding ptsd paranoia?

    I think the idea behind this is if you need to do this, nobody else has money or land either. Cash is useless without a place to spend it. Land titles are useless without a governing body to agree that the patch of dirt you call home is in fact yours. Plus a means to enforce your "No...

    C-ptsd problems during work, advice please

    No apology needed. If anything, I wasn't clear enough. What I was getting at was that since KC is trying to place blame on you for not being thorough in your job duties. Since you will be able to prove that you are in fact collecting all the errant trolleys at the time you are supposed to be...

    C-ptsd problems during work, advice please

    My company does this too. It's a loss prevention thing. Bloody irritating too. Get a camera app that will allow you to put a time stamp on the captured imagine. Take a picture of the garbage you were told to dump. Get the locked compactor door in the shot as well. If this ever comes back on...

    Need advice about a wall switch in my house.

    After a search (hopeful this doesn't narrow down my local too much) won't mention the community name, but it was annexed by the city in 1961. Established in 1967. I could absolutely see the switch being picked up cheap at a yard sale, or discount bin 40 or so years ago, then used to replace a...
