    What Strategies Do You Use to Be Productive Each Day?

    I never thought to do a coin flip for these kind of questions. That´s actually kind of awesome.

    Finding spirituality despite trauma

    That means you know it´s there. You just don´t know how to access it. Even people who are very spiritual sometimes lose access to it. To me spirituality is about intuition. Intuition means witnessing things within you that other people are not witnessing. That´s why meditation can be...

    Is it common to live for a long time with undiagnosed/untreated c/ptsd?

    I contracted PTSD at age 15, was misdiagnosed borderline at age 19, then was diagnosed cPTSD at age 25/26. Pretty common I would say. Specially in the case of erroneous diagnosis.

    What Do You See and Feel When You Look in the Mirror?

    I like seeing myself in the mirror. But in 2013 (worst PTSD of my life) I saw horrible things in the mirror. And I don´t mean just my reflection, felt more like seeing actual demons.

    Your Day In Emoticons

    For some reason most smileys are only black and white icons now, does everyone get this or just me?

    You Know You Have PTSD When...

    You spend the whole damn day listening to thundering ocean waves through headphones and jump at the sound of anything else.

    Last movie or tv series you watched?

    Watched Doctor Strange (Marvel) yesterday. Pretty awesome. Way better than Guardians of the Galaxy.

    What would you choose?

    Basketball, but hockey´s cool too. Ice-skating or Snowboarding?

    Last movie or tv series you watched?

    I´m watching Guardians of the Galaxy today, because I wanted to know what all this "I am Groot" stuff was about. To be honest I don´t really get it. I suppose it´s not my kind of movie :P

    Haha... I suposse it depends on your definition of relaxation :P Don´t think this thread´s going to take off though. Might continue posting in the existing thread. Maybe someone can remove this one?

    Not for men only - a place to discuss men's trauma issues (comments welcomed from all)

    Again, subreddits wildly differ from each other. Judging all the rational subreddits by comparing them to the irrational, unruly bunch isn´t doing the platform any good. Back to topic.

    Compliance and Age

    This is really a very general question, not about me specifically. I have noticed that younger people have a tendency to comply with prompts by older (or other) people. For example, if asked a personal question, the tendency is to answer that question. Even if they don´t really want to. When...

    Not for men only - a place to discuss men's trauma issues (comments welcomed from all)

    That´s great Bellbird. I wish there were more people vocal about this. Not to reopen the discussion had earlier, but I do wonder why it´s sexist to joke that someone is hot. Even in jest there is some level of truth to it (or else why would anybody say it) and finding somebody attractive does...

    Movie & Film Club

    I was curious if any of you feel like starting a Movie & Film Thread. A thread were we can come and share movies we´ve seen recently, review them for each other. It´d be great if we had a list of movies that have helped us and also a list of them that have not helped us. The good, the bad, the...

    Old relationship blew up

    I mean if he just said "no" then that would be okay but his message is he does not want to talk to me IF I "screen" everything he does. Implying that if I am NOT doing that, then he would talk to me. But I am not allowed to even point out that I am in fact NOT screening him, because he will...

    How to make actual friends

    Your logic sounds sound to me, other Internet person. However, I do think I´m capable of maintaining deep relationships. I´ve had friendships that were genuine and in which there was mutual confiding, not just about traumatic experiences but also about anything at all. The problem arises when...

    Old relationship blew up

    This is just a thread to write out how I feel. I work at a youth organization as a volunteer, together with somebody I know from a long time ago. There were some codependency issues at first, specially on my side, but I eventually grew out of it. We´ve been trying to establish a more normal...

    How to make actual friends

    Maybe I don´t have a good middle ground. To be honest I´m not sure anymore. Truth is I am very black and white - the reason my other two friendships ended, was because Friend A got into a relationship and told me he was too busy exploring himself in this new relationship and had no time to...

    How to make actual friends

    Well put Friday, and a good observation on the other thread, you are right to observe that it is interfering. However in his case, he verbally told me that he does not have a lot of time on his hands, i.e he´s too busy with his normal life to work on becoming close friends. The thing is: he...
