I hear you. I am appreciating my current pastor and church who exist for the marginalized. My pastor came into the church disguised as a homeless person to see how people would treat him. Another time he engaged with a homeless person who spoke out in the service eventually calling him to the...

I’m very thankful to have this safe place where we can all share, away from social media, etc. We know what we know because of what we’ve been through. Others out there who haven’t been through it think we’re nuts if we share our opinions. I have also pulled away to a safe place where there are...

All of this coverup and corruption is triggering what I went through living with a corrupt police officer. Infuriating. But I am glad that it is starting to come out of the shadows now. Where it goes from here is anybody’s guess. Will the powerful remain evil in secret or will we all begin to...

Thank you Andrew for your dedication and knowledge of how to mitigate these issues. Really appreciate everything you do for us! Have a pleasant day. 💖

Thanks for sharing Freida. Hope all of this is helping you Muttly. It takes time to adapt to chronic care. We’re in this for the long haul, not just a sinus infection. My rheumatologist has been treating me for lupus and fibro, as well as osteoporosis and kidney disease that have resulted from...

I’ve been there. Completely helpless. Tried to take my life four times. My son is on the spectrum and has been suicidal nearly his entire life. The other day he made a comment about being a child porn star. Breaks my heart. His birth father became a pedophile unbeknownst to me. I discovered it...

Sorry to hear about how you have been abused by the system that’s supposed to be helping us. I understand completely. I went into a facility voluntarily to get help with PTSD. They didn’t even have PTSD arrested as a diagnosis. I didn’t know any of this until I got out. Even their patient care...

Parrotthepolly, Thank you for being so kind as you were correcting me. I appreciate that, because sometimes I put my foot in my mouth. I seem to not have a filter. Possible autism symptoms. I will take your advice and try to follow it. Thank you for sharing the probable cost in your current...

Muttly, thank you so very much for sharing your positives, your wins! Be sure to take time to celebrate them and cherish that you’re doing better. I will be praying that the insurance issue gets taken care of so that you can take care of your body the way it needs. I had to go through a few...

Thank you for sharing your positives. We all need to see when we’re doing well to give hope to those who are in a bad season. I’m recently in self-discovery to determine if I might qualify on the autism spectrum. I know that my son does, even though I was not able to get him diagnosed 10 years...

Parrottthepolly, I’m sorry to hear that your mood is flat. I wish you well moving forward and getting that figured out. Maybe a med issue. Maybe just the season that you’re in. Hoping better adjustment with meds give you what you need in order to feel happy. Please know that we all understand...

Thank you very much for updating us. I am so happy to hear that you are doing better. We will continue to be here for updates if you need more support at another time. The process of healing is a journey. It doesn’t follow any pattern. Even when you’re in a good season, you could be hit by a...

Welcome to the forum. Thank you for reaching out. All of us here have a reason to be here. We come alongside one another in camaraderie with support and encouragement to keep moving one step further. I’m sorry for what you’re going through. My life, until about a year ago, has been one trauma...

Amen Freida! You and I speak the same language because you and I have walked a similar road. I trust you. Anyone who has not walked the road of chronic illness does not get it. Similar to how people who haven’t been through what we have gone thru don’t get PTSD. Muttly, it is a challenging...

I get it. Thanks arfie.

I have great respect for you in mitigating all of this. Thanks for all you do for us. Keep up the good work. You are appreciated. 😊

My son tried ketamine treatment, but unfortunately it went sideways and put him in a bad place. He is still trying to recover from the blow. Would appreciate any ideas for advanced treatment for vivid memories of details of sexual trauma. Thanks for your help.

In order to survive, I have become like an ostrich, burying my head in the sand in order to protect myself. The world is going to be the world, and I have absolutely no impact on changing that other than prayer. Been there. Done that. Spent years in court with my first husband, trying to protect...

I understand. I was diagnosed with lupus and fibromyalgia 24.5 years ago. 9/11 was the last straw that put me in bed. I hear every single word you’re saying. I was the one… and I could no longer do it. I was flat on my back and I could not even lift my head off the pillow. My life had become so...

This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24

I agree with recording when anything happens along with what you were doing at the time you are being accused. Records like that are valuable especially if the police become involved. Also save all communication with your landlord. This may be difficult and triggering, but it is also being an...

Good morning, i’m sorry that you’re struggling. Thank you for sharing. You are not alone. Sometimes we go through seasons where we aren’t moving anywhere. But that’s OK, because it’s just a season. Life has a lot of seasons: winter, spring, summer and fall. They’re not perfect, but that’s OK...

Praying for you littleoc that you continue to have options and you continue to move forward bit by bit as well as you can. I understand your predicament. Hoping for improvement bit by bit. 🙏

Welcome to the forum Rachael. You have found a safe place with people who understand because they have been there. You are no longer alone. We are all here to share our experiences and encourage one another. Glad to have you. You are always welcome here. No judgment. I will be praying for you...

Last night, on Christmas Day, my son revealed to me some of the horrid things that were done to him 0-3.5 years. Being on the autism spectrum gives him the wonderful opportunity to retain vivid memories of it all. It breaks my heart how it haunts him. All of the media coverage has stirred up...
