Can people that use inches use normal printing paper size? It's just slightly larger. 8.5 x 11?

I will donate $2.00 for every entry. Editing that I will donate 2 dollars per person that enters. ETA again: the rules were changed at the beginning of the forum. I will donate whatever!

@cherryblossom I haven't entered yet. I was just setting up examples for others to view so they wouldn't feel so constricted. I'm not sure if I was successful on that..... This is all new to me. I have no idea what I'm doing and I'm well versed in 2D type artistic pursuits. Sammy is determined...

It think we see this a lot like @jaccat 's situation with divorced parents. The kid is caught in the middle and forced to take sides. @shimmerz I'm pretty sure this isn't the same thing, but I understand how PTSD can influence how we parent. I am so afraid of making a mistake. I'm afraid of...

Does walking around with a very sore body count as exercise? Can't. move. my. arms.

And here's some other examples of doodling! Get your pens and pencils ready! Eta: color is fine too!

Here is an example of a zentangle. It can be as simple or complicated as you wish. It can be abstract or have a subject. It's all up to you!

Eyes are my go to when I haven't painted in a while. Your painting looks great! I'm anxious to see others that you crank out. I'm like albatross in that I haven't painted in a while. Hopefully I'll get through the block and be more productive soon.

I could write a book as to why I donated. I can't believe I didn't do it before. Back in the day, it was ptsdforum. I came to the forum to seek like minded people like myself. I also had thought that I could help some of these people because I so would have liked someone that understood while I...

One hour of hot yoga today with the owner of the place doing the leading. She is intense! She has us hold the most difficult poses and zooms through the other easier ones! My arms and quads are killing me. Water, water, water. My greatest fear in there is that I'm going to fall over. Which is a...

Snow. 6" at least. School letting out early and it's time to snuggle in the blankets.

I feel that it's hard to run away from yourself. So, no, I don't think any distance will help. ETA: I'm still here. With starts and stops. I come here when evolving and adapting are going at a faster pace that I need some additional support. Doesn't mean I'm still in the depths. Many are, but...

@Changeling It was looong ago. 2006. I'm sure that's in the archives somewhere. I'll see what I can do. Found it: https://www.myptsd.com/threads/ptsd-and-the-job-search.778/

@richter scale , Wouldn't it be nice if life's moments were neater? When someone you love needs money, that you have it? Or in times that you need a hug, the perfect person is right there to give it to you? I can only think of a few times in my l life where that has happened. It can fill me...

Short answer is yes. There are people here that have memories that young and have been validated. I'm not one of these people. The memories come back on their own. Sometimes it's just sensations, sometimes it's a smell, sometimes it's a sound. But the visuals are very few. It seems I only get...

:D I'm so happy!

How many people do we have?

I just donated 51.00 to bring it up to half way there!

Changed my avatar!

I like it ms Spock! I'll get mine up there tomorrow.

Personally, I don't see much gray area here. It's either you're in or out. You haven't left yet, so there must be something there. So if you are in, answer the phone when he calls. Isn't that what you wanted? Be ready to listen. Ask questions. Be open until you can't. When that happens, tell...

That was me! I said that on the day I was diagnosed.

Hello Giulia. We've met in chat. It's good to see you writing it down. You've been through a lot. And you're doing a lot! Welcome aboard here. What are you studying at university?

Welcome. You are just a year younger than I. I'm a mother too. There's lots of us here that don't have combat ptsd. Cuddle with whatever you wish. I am quite fond of a fake fur blanket. I love it up by my neck. It hides me.

Awesome! I'm so glad that you are doing that for yourself. Art is very therapeutic. 6 pieces is perfect timing for the summer. It'll keep you motivated to keep going. I, too have an internet problem....hehe.
