The president said he was going to get rid of all the people like me. So what has been on my mind non stop ever since. Where are we being taken? When are they coming for me? Was everything I've done over the years just a waste of time? He made me homeless with his housing bill years ago...

I'm not a professional at opening up to people. But If he blew up on you already...He probably can't handle it. I wouldn't say he won't ever be ready. He is probably just juggling alot and didn't want to commit to the responsibility. Personally I don't open up to people about my trauma...

I donated my time today afterwork. Fixed a motor for free. Feels good to do good for nothing. I like making people happy. Their smile helps me smile. Taking money feels good when I'm starving. Otherwise it feels good to not accept money. He came back with a box of donuts for me. Which I...

Well put I think there are good people left. The problem with modern society is there is so much distrust in everyone around us. Years of dodging scammers, liers and abusers. It makes us all distrust people. A decade ago you could walk past a stranger and simply smile and say...

I believe in the soul. I think of it as the energy that flows through us. You can call it neurons firing. Sending messages to muscles and nerves, I call it my soul. When our soul is hurt it, it affects our whole body's. I don't know if anyone else has felt pressure on their chest when they...

I've always been drawn to rivers. Something about the sound of rushing water calms me. This was my favorite river hike.

I'm sorry to have read your story. What's been done to you is horrible, I'm sorry. Waiting for broken systems of protection to protect you, will torment you. Life is too short to spend it on constant fear. You find your strength to run and you Run. I'll be praying for you.

My brother was a bad sleep walker. I cant say for sure. But I think you are going to sleep with too much on your mind. Your body wants to keep working though it even when your mind has checked out. There are many medications for this. Personally I think you need a way to destress at the end...

You do deserve peace. Therapist are always going to drift away from punishing those who wronged you. They are just gonna tell you that forgiveness is the best way. I can agree in a sense that forgiveness makes you the bigger person. But without a commitment to forgiveness. It won't give you...

I don't talk to my family for similar reasons. It's depressing to be a afterthought or not one at all. Last Easter I felt like a unwelcome intruder. My family talked about people like me being unacceptable all weekend. Heard my whole family just sit around a agree that homeless people don't...

I tried to kill myself when I was 4. Tried to run away a few times as well. Spent my whole life trying to move forward. To the promise of better days to come. Decades later and I'm still waiting. Life isn't life to people like us it is one long suicide note. I think we have stayed alive...

"When the law becomes unjust resistance becomes duty". "It is unpatriotic to question the government". "Keep your mouth shut or I'll kill you". Quotes that never leave my head.

In sickness and health should be remembered after the alter. I'm sorry your husband seems to have forgotten that. Relationship are always hard for people with PTSD. Your husband clearly doesn't understand the full gravity of your experience. I'm glad you have your boys. They will help keep...

Welcome you came to the right place. It really helps to be able to unload that weight. You are not alone.

Hard subject to cover in the proper detail. I'd like to read that.

The army make people do many things. They don't do a great job at how to live with afterwards. Another veteran around helps best. A group for combat vets. If you know anyone who has also served in combat. He will probably feel safe to clear his head in a healthier way. He needs to vent and...

Its hard to keep positive when the odd feel against you. But you got to keep with it stay positive. Sounds like they want to release him and are going to do a probationary release. Don't treat him any different than before. Being overly sensitive to him can feel degrading after being...

Good job, good people and This site for giving us a place to speak our minds.

Be Good by Carsie Blanton. Claims me down beautify simple. Don't recommend if your hardcore atheist. But good message the song sends. Be Good to the people you love and love everyone alike.

Thanks for the welcome. It is freeing to talk about everything here. Human rights, dignity, PTSD and housing is definitely something I could talk your ear off on. I've read through miles of pages in housing laws, ordancies, codes.

The fact that you were a child as well that you feel shame for it. Makes you a good person. You weren't doing what you thought was wrong at the time. You were a child and still learning what's right and wrong. Many of us on here are victims of child abuse. I can't speak for all but if it...

Thanks. I'm in America. Over past few years we have been working backwards towards housing availability. The homeless civil rights act didn't last five years before it was taken down. Now new executive order makes having PTSD and being homeless illegal so terrified of where this country is...

Surviving the shadows isn't fun anyone. I'm a fixer who can't be fixed. I work full time but can't afford to live in doors. I help others with what they consider to be problems. I've built so.many homes and repaired even more. While living next to a dumpster. My coworkers see the irony of...
