    What Is On Your Mind Right This Second?

    the state of my life (unemployed, not enough money to pay the bills, problems to solve, broken teeth I can't afford to get fixed, my issues complicating things: PTSD, ADHD, sleep apnea, herniated discs etc.) and the past (memories, loss, pain, grief). And how to change things and how to solve...

    Political Venting

    @anthony yeah, like any rule book there are those that study it well and learn how to break the rules and get away with it. The base rules of our constitution are clear enough and have long histories of precedent supporting them. Rules like separation of powers (executive, judicial, legislative)...

    Therapy approaches - Your experiences & what approaches you've found most helpful

    First of all I would say that we're all unique and will respond to books differently, and also that the best recommendation I can make is to read as much as possible and drop books you don't get along with and move on. Now I can mention three that I like and might not be for everyone, and...

    BPD So I was just recently diagnosed with BPD by a psychiatrist:

    ...conditions, now have yet another one with a poor prognosis. Also, it’s a common misunderstanding that personality disorders are necessarily life-long. The meand remission rate in this sound meta-analysis was around 60%. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK556058/ Anyways, them’s my 2 cents

    Fun Facts

    Fact check problem, what I know the book I read it in, but I can’t find it. Will double back when I find the book, about anoxic (not axanthic) blue birds/flowers becoming Pink when exposed to the chemical. (It’s a dioxide, like steel rusting via oxidation; but specifically linked to birds &...

    Medical Sciatic nerve pain

    I’ve had something like 50 or 75 MRIs, over the years? (Also a helluva lotta CTs). MRIs? They’re loud. As the magnets spin around you. Roar. Click click click. Roar. Tick tick tick tick tick. Rumble. Like booking a hotel room next to the elevator, & ice machine, but over in a half an hour. Not...

    Readers thread: what or who are you reading right now?

    Hm...I just finished Inferno, by Dan Brown. I have a couple others I'm supposedly reading on Goodreads LOL, but I'm eager to tackle a new fiction. I have a bunch, so not sure which it'll be yet. I do have to re-read a book for a class I'm taking next month, so maybe I'll just jump to that. It's...

    does anyone elses mind go through waves of denial?

    Most of my life is divided up into “chapters”. When I’m at my best? I can easily flip to/through any chapter; and have total access to all memories, skills, etc. from that/those chapters; but NONE of them are regularly on my mind, except for the one I’m in, or the one I’m working towards...

    I have come to realize that perfectionism and the fear of trying new things, as well as the fear of failing is a generational curse…

    I’ve been reading the book “Complex-PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving” by Pete Walker. One of the things that stood out to me was when it mentioned the struggle of perfectionism and the self-hatred that abides by it. All my life I’ve been too afraid of being imperfect or having flaws. I was...

    Anxiety, Panic Attacks and Intrusive Thoughts - Ending a 10 Year Relationship

    ...structure so that you don't fall into too much negative thinking? It could be anything like art drawing and painting etc...you can buy "how to" books off amazon or from the shop "works". 🤔 I'm just trying to think of things too pass the time that you may enjoy. Are there any courses going on...

    Experience on Dating Site for Disabled, Including Mentally

    I think rather than that all or nothing thinking, which is a type of thinking that keeps us sick, you could practice some internet safety instead. And learn to let suspicious things go. This is an important practice I have found for coping with CPTSD. Think if you were in public. Would you even...

    Trauma that gives you PTSD symptoms VS trauma that breaks you

    ahh this. Well, here's how t explained it to me. Currently in the dsm there is no category for people who have survived the brain breaking. Not because it doesn't occur, but because it is so rare to survive that the powers that be haven't really classified it. And, since those people rarely...

    Sufferer Adult child of emotionally immature mother

    Pete Walkers book(thriving/surviving) has been my "Bible" for about 10 years now (I'm 71). I have the audio and the book. I used to fall asleep listening and the book is underlined throughout. The feelings you have had throughout your life mirror mine. I was CPTSD diagnosed at about age 60...

    Other The Trauma That Caused Me to Start Harming Myself

    Interesting that the flyers signified this for you. For other people they may have signified that funerals are expensive. I remember in junior high I read a book about a camp for kids with cancer and I thought if only I had cancer my parents and others would care about me. I thought about...

    Hope vs acceptance re trauma and PTSD

    Thank you for your beautiful post. A few times I have had relationships with nonjudgmental people. I think I try to be honest without testing waters first. I have learned to appreciate my own company.
