    New To Ssa

    I think I just need to find a way to stay self-moto for sports and exercise on my own. The issue is - ice skating costs money, and I don't have much of it right now until I finish school and/or get my portfolio to where it needs to be for major pro work.

    Indeed. I was thinking about this today! I actually do better during hockey season, when I'm playing with my girls. Hard work, practice and a game every weekend, ice skating every week - It was a great outlet. Now, the season is over, the thrill of competition is gone and I just went nuts...

    Relationship Wow.. Had A Talk With My Sufferer Last Night.

    Love coming your way from a sufferer, Angus. I can relate somewhat to your wife. I go to school a few hours away from my home with my boyfriend. When I am up there and immersed in work, I can either ignore the PTSD for a while and distract myself or feel like I'm isolated enough to concentrate...

    Is There A Link Between Creativity And Ptsd?

    Art is my life, my career. I'm currently in school honing my skills. I had posted a message on my facebook regarding my CPTSD, it was a step for me to admit it to everyone. My anatomy teacher sent this to me: Your a very talented artist and people with that ability see things in a different...

    Yes definitely. I think this is why I'm slipping so terribly. I recently finished my first year of art school with a 3.3 which is an accomplishment in itself - I've a history of academic probation for years at community college. It is a high stress, high demand, high workload school - 10 classes...

    Songs You Relate To

    :D I listen to APC so religiously, haha. Their latest album is a little political, but it has a great mellow cover of When The Levee Breaks. Speaking of Garbage, they are working on another album together after all this time. They got me through some hard times, I won't lie.
