    All Questions, No Real Answers

    I too will be here to read more of your story as you post it. You got a lot out there. I can definitely see why you feel as you do. You do have a good heart though, and that in itself is a wonder, considering how much you've suffered. Many do just give up on the world, and for much less...

    PTSD? I Don't Get It

    I like how you ended with some humour. You have a good sense of humour from what I've seen so far on here. it's a good thing, and will help you in the future. What your therapist told you is true. You have to learn to forgive, and to do that you'll have to accept it, and the feelings that...

    Hi There - Sexual Assault

    huh...didn't see the date on this before. Ruby only ever made the three posts she added in this thread, and hasn't been back since. Makes you wonder if maybe the moderators aren't a little too strict with posting rules. Some of us are under extreme stress when we get here, and aren't able to...

    Hi There - Sexual Assault

    Hi Ruby, Welcome. I'm going to guess you got a warning from a moderator. I had an issue with that when I first started as well. I took it pretty personally at first, was triggered, and thought of not coming back. It may seem cruel, that they would "pick on" something like not writing a title...

    There IS Something Wrong With Me!!!! YAY!

    Yeah, the orange flavour is gross. As is the light purple one that is very clear...eww. I just find they are all too fake tasting though. I like 100% juice when I drink anything besides water or decaf teas. I will continue to drink them though, because I don't want to get sick again.

    All Questions, No Real Answers

    Hi Beatle, I just wanted to say that I read through your posts in this thread, and that I can relate to many of your feelings. Especially that of feeling worthless, and losing all hope in the human race. For me too, it is a back and fourth dialogue. One day I can see past it all and have hope...

    Is all-or-nothing thinking part of ptsd?

    It is definitely part of PTSD.

    Escalation After Triggers: Right Away Or Later On?

    I could have something to do with feeling safe. My house is my safe zone, and except for a few occasions, it is the only place I have ever really broken down badly. I try to hold back and push my really strong reactions aside, because I am too afraid, and because I don't want to distress...

    Just Need Someone To Talk Too

    For me, the first post I ever read on here pulled me right in. It is called "What Never To Say To A PTSD Sufferer", and it can be found under Chat PTSD it is so honest, but gets sarcastic, and down-right funny at times, I laughed so hard in that thread. I laughed, and identified, with everyone's...

    Poll Do You Have Pets / Animal Companions?

    I have a cat, and an alien in a catsuit. It is hard to believe that Lupish is actually a cat, because he doesn't act like one at all. His favourite foods are as follows: Olives-he likes all kinds of olives, but his favourite is party olives. Mango Watermelon Asian Pear Canned Corn Skinned...

    Patrick, LOL!! That comment cracked me right up. Loved it! Cragger, I am sorry to have worried you, and anyone else who was witness to that meltdown last night. I am definitely going to try to sleep some. I'm pretty wide awake now, but the next time I start feeling all heavy eyed I am...

    There IS Something Wrong With Me!!!! YAY!

    Oh oh! I had a bowl of soup well, the broth part of it anyway, after my appt, and it didn't make me sick. Dr told me to eat clear liquids for a few days because it will help me get back into eating, and will be gentle enough on my stomach. He told me to get some gatorade too. I did, and wow...

    There IS Something Wrong With Me!!!! YAY!

    So, as many of you already know, I haven't been doing well. Haven't been able to eat or sleep for a week. Well the eating thing has been an issue longer than that, but yeah. Anyway, I had my appt with my gastroenterologist today to get results for the endoscopy, and multiple biopsies, I had...

    What Are You Thankful For?

    I am thankful for for my husband, and the fact that he has drug benefits. I got prescribed a medication that was $345.59!!! For one freakin' bottle! I would never have been able to afford that.. It's robbery as far as I am concerned. Especially since it is a vital medication. I am also...

    Anyone Know How Long A Person Can Go With No Sleep?

    Junebug, I am going through most of that right now. My body weight has dropped considerably, I wasn't thin to begin with, about 160, so I'm not sure if i am thin enough to have my bones hurt yet. I have only been out of my bed once this week, aside from small jaunts to the bathroom, or to...
