More to life... Hi Everyone I have not actually been on here since the day I posted my 'Zac Efron' thread. So, having just absorbed the response I am still a little bit dazed. Firstly, I would like to affirm that it was not my intention to offend anyone in posting this thread. I am...

Hi Everyone As some of you may be aware, last week I uploaded a personal photograph to use as my avatar. (see below) Since then I have been flooded with comments from forum members, with questions and requests in relation to this photograph. Rather than respond to each comment...

Good luck squeezing through your front door Bonne! ghost

2, What you're describing is quite common. I remember being completely bummed out about the idea of 'getting old' before I had even hit my tenth birthday. It was something that stayed with me for many years. It was not until my life started to move in a positive direction and I started...

Hi 2quilt That could have been me. I tend to go through these fads every few months. In October it was making friendship bracelets out of pieces of macaroni. In December I started making toupees out of clumps of hair that I found in the shower drain, to give to members of my family as...

Generic Response I have PTSD, what's your excuse?

Boney Being a non-conformist and an individual is one thing. But heading out to the supermarket wearing nothing but a sombrero and a set of knee pads is not going to do you or anyone else any favours. I’m all for bucking the trend, but there has to be some consideration of good taste as...

Highschool was the best eight years of my life.

seaworthy, I can't believe that you've actually given your Backknobber a name (Nobber). That's awesome. I've named mine as well... The one that I use on my upper-back is called Diego. The one for my mid-back is Ramirez. And, the one for my lower back is called Bob.

The uninitiated are those people who have not experienced a severe and debilitating mental illness. Some have simply had the good fortune and/or good judgement to avoid catastrophe; others have had minor brushes with what they term 'depression' or 'anxiety' - like when they were six years old...

As I started this thread, I feel a niggling sense of responsibility to advise people, particularly as it is the festive season, not to attempt to brush their teeth with their non-competent hand, while under the influence of alcohol. Without going into too much detail... I had an unfortunate...

Interesting Trivia Fact I just did a Google search on the word, Backknobber, and it turns out that, Backknobber, is also the name of a Polish horror movie that came out in the late sixties. The Backknobber is also a mythical figure in Romanian culture - not unlike Dracula. The legend goes...

bonne I'm not sure if a Backknobber is such a good idea for you. Like a gun or a machete; a Backknobber, in the wrong hands, can also be very dangerous. I would recommend that you first try something like a rolling pin, or a spatula, or even the original Backknobber; before you go messing...

That's impressive. Completing an honours degree is challenging enough in itself; to do it with PTSD, and to achieve first-class honours, is truly a mammoth accomplishment. ...and you did it distance education as well. Nice work.

F*ck Hugh Jackman; I like Mickey Rourke… 1. I like Mickey Rourke, because he used to be a pretty boy. But, after decades of alcoholism, competitive boxing, and some sub-standard plastic surgery, his face now looks like a well slapped arse. Last year, Mickey picked up a BAFTA award; a...

"Tomato" is definitely a better safe word than "carrot", or "cucumber". Both of which are open to misinterpretation... I know this guy whose safe word was "pineapple" - he ended up in the intensive care unit at Royal Perth Hospital... Two years on and he still has to use one of those...

Hi Akita I have a lot of issues around taking meds too, and have found it easier just to rule them out as a treatment option. I am of the opinion that if someone is that averse to taking psychotropics than they're probably not going to gain a great deal of benefit from them anyway. What...

Not offended at all. Reading that consultation was the most exciting thing that's happened to me since November. It's refreshing to find a therapist who isn't afraid to get his hands dirty. Keep up the good work doctor.

Holy shit Dr. Doppemhiyer I think your online clinic needs to be given a xxx rating. That Broken Box consultation reads like a letter out of Penthouse Magazine. I'm still a bit dazed by the mental imagery. Exactly where did you get your qualification from??? Concerned Citizen

As long as it's not a pity party...:rolleyes:

1. The Red Gorilla Not unlike the 'black dog' reference that people use to describe their depression (i.e. the 'black dog's got me'). The red from this title represents the all-consuming rage that typically accompanies PTSD. The gorilla is representative of the regression to a more 'primal'...
