Hi 'X' Welcome to the forum. I am a former police dispatcher, ptsd related to the death of my officer during a call he was on. (Lots of other 'issues' for me popping up though, in counseling.) This forum has helped me alot since I found it. Hang in there & know that we're here for you. :hello:

I joined this forum a couple of months ago, I have gotten further in my acceptance of PTSD than in the entire last year since I was diagnosed. Anthony, I am so grateful to you and the others that run this place and try to help us find sanity. You've created a place that allows us to connect...

Please let our Batgirl know she is loved and we're thinking of her. She's an inspiring person and we hope she is feeling better.:hello:

Veiled.. hope you have a wonderful birthday. Happy.. fun.. calm.. peaceful.. whatever your heart desires !! :biggrin:

Yesterday my daughter told me she hates it in our home, she says all we do is fight. My husband and I always bickering over my PTSD, or me not 'feeling good'. My husband (Ubu) is right about not giving it our all.. I guy from 20 years ago is someone I've never forgotten, or gotten over. I...

Did you know that chronic Migraines are covered under FMLA (Family Medical Leave Act)?? Neither did I, until a couple years ago.. none of my supervisors or administrators offered me this tidbit of info. I was always getting in trouble for absences due to migraines. Once I found out about my...

I lost my job last June.. My Dr. suggested I apply for Disability, which I got. It helps the $$ part of it, but my self esteem & identity took a huge hit. I'm trying to MAKE myself realize that I'm more than a Police Dispatcher. Its tough. Hang in there, like you heard from the others...

hmm.. I guess I'll just respond to each item you mentioned in the feedback. I DO feel unappreciated in life, however I never felt like I needed/deserved appreciation. I did what I was supposed to do because it was my responsibility, not because I expected something in return. I have never...

Excellent Portabella.. I 'denied' or 'faked' it for probably a couple of years before I couldn't anymore.. too much evidence of my 'issues' I guess. Its slow going, but worth it. I look forward to having 'me' back again. You're making another step in the right direction. (baby steps) I...

hi Welcome to the forum.. I am a PTSD sufferer. I had my husband come onto the forum also, hoping he would learn more and understand me better. You're in a tough position, its hard to have a partner with PTSD. I know I'm miserable to live with sometimes, my husband is so patient and...

Welcome Wadoo I feel EXACTLY the way you do. I often say, I just want 'me' back. I'm currently unable to work, which makes my self esteem even worse. When I found this forum.. I realized I was no longer alone. Sometimes I feel that way, so I log onto the forum.. and I'm reminded I'm not...

Welcome to the forum.. since I joined I've been welcomed with open arms. There are wonder people here who know the feelings you are having. We are all here for one another, to offer opinions, help, or just be here to listen. Glad you found us.

The Secret Hey.. it turns out, my sister was given this movie by a friend who loved it. I mentioned having heard about it and she says.. hey - I have that!! She got it for Christmas, but never watched it. After she got off the phone with me, she watched it, called me back, and said 'you...

Excellent news Anthony !! I think maybe I'll start!! :rolleyes:

my 'self analysis' Now you have had a break, go back to every question and look at your response. Try and find what you feel that your mind presented the image it did. Explain colours you chose, textures, water, cup, solids, liquids, space, objects, people, anything and everything that you...

This is an imaginery journey down a road. Take in the sights, sounds and colours, just like a video camera recording all that lies surrounding you. Survey the scene, noticing whatis far off in the distance, the background surrounds, the weather, the season and a total image of what you view...

Amen, Beatle. :tongue:

Has anyone seen or heard of the movie called 'The Secret'? I'm hearing that its pretty amazing. Spiritual stuff... anyone have info?

I wish I knew the answer to this one.. I too have had daily headaches. I've had migraines since my teens, but then I get these daily things too. I've never thought to connect it to healing.. I just always thought it was due to the stress. I'll have to ask the Doc about that when I see her...

Glad you're back to the forum !! I came across it when I was at my wits end.. and I'm so glad. I get alot of comfort & understanding from everyone here. You can start with that, just taking comfort in knowing you're among friends and can be yourself. :hello:

You're right Linda.. and I sure look forward to them !! :tongue:

Hang in there with us Beatle. !! I know sometimes when I read the forum, it hurts. I feel bad, I want to help, & it just makes me worse. Once in awhile I take a 'day off' from the forum. We all care for each other and want to help, I found that just having you guys here is alot of help for...

I want to LIVE again !!! I've been 'unemployed' for almost a year already!! I've worked my entire life.. this just isn't right. I want life back.. it doesnthave to be just like before, I just want to live instead of exist. Thats all.. :angry-fla

I'll be sending good 'vibes' your way Scott.. and we'll be waiting for you here !! :smile:

Beautiful weather today, no snow !! I actually wore open-toed heels with my jeans and got my hair done. Then I got a killer headache and came home to lay down. Otherwise.. not bad. :crazy-eye
