    On the Subject of Religion (loose extension of the angel post)

    Kubash. I began my quest to find out what I wanted to believe from age 8. My grandparents were protestant. I got sidetracked and read the Bhagavad Gita at 16. Read as many spiritually inclined articles that you can find. Don´t read entire libraries. Read bits and pieces. You are inclined...

    Elementary School Teacher with PTSD?

    Thank you!! @Friday just out of curiosity Did you ever get PTSD related symptoms in/after class -was it harder to teach because of PTSD? Thank you @EveHarrington Kids don´t trigger my symptoms. I find them really easy to work with. Generally (I bet I will get my ass kicked sometime soon)...

    Elementary School Teacher with PTSD?

    That´s awesome. I haven´t gotten much feedback here (except yours), and that´s okay, but I think I´m going for it. The study is a mix of pedagogical sciences and didactic elementary school teacher courses. After I could do a master´s program of remedial education. I am really liking the...

    Elementary School Teacher with PTSD?

    Hey forum friends, I started working with young kids last year and it´s fantastic. I volunteer as an assistant in gardening lessons, and in my spare time I volunteer as group leader with a youth organization. So far it´s been going pretty well. I can handle myself all-right with kids...

    I´m working on it :D And yes, they are a deflection. I am aware of this - absolutely not the first time I´ve encountered similar situations.

    Trans, nb, queer and intersex folks - welcome!

    Hi I´m Rad and I identify as Rad. Technically quite a few letters in the whole LGBTQ umbrella describe me, but I identify with none of them. For me they are terms to indicate aspects of who I am. I would never put the LGBTQ description take precedence over other aspects of my personality...

    Friendships...

    Hi Grit, Thanks for your honesty. I don´t think my interaction with either guys is as damaging as I think it came across to you. For example, nobody is being used. Both guys have said I am welcome to call them when there´s something wrong, and enjoy helping me out (I can tell when somebody...

    Friendships...

    Hi, MyPTSD fossil here, making a comeback. I want to talk friendships. Specifically, a friendship I had and a friendship I might (not) have. Friendship 1 was mainly only called so by me. This guy stood by me for six years, although in all six years he also managed to never take initiative...

    Online Dating Services?

    Yeah, some. I think in the female capacity OKC works well. Women tend to get a lot of messages. As a guy you don’t get so many, and often a girl will stop replying after a while. Even if she messaged first. Tinder is really, really strongly linked to the kind of picture you have up. My first...

    Is the internet trigger-happy?

    Very interesting. I haven’t been on for a while, but I’ve been digging into “trigger warnings” and “safe spaces”. They’re usually employed in online niches where people are ‘scared something might upset them’, to the extent they think content might traumatize them. I’ve dealt with a few of...

    Pets for ptsd?

    I can’t expect any cat (my cat) to sit on its ass all day until I walk it. It’s just not in their nature - they’re independent smartasses and that’s why I love them. Me and a cat in a small room togheter, I think the cat would grow nervous/fidgety and that doesn’t help me (or the cat) at all.

    What Are You Grateful For Today?

    I’m grateful that I can finally think of some things that I could be grateful for. I haven’t been able to do so in a long time.

    Pets for ptsd?

    :happy: Everyone thanks so much for your replies, and @bellbird your description helped a lot! It’s hard for me to imagine any kind of connection with an animal other than cats, mainly because I’ve always had an instinctive bond with cats and never looked further than that. I’ve made an...
