    What Are You Grateful For Today?

    It is very windy here today, maybe some rain on the way. I am kicking back in an over stuffed chair reading with LuLu snoozing on the couch. It doesn’t get much better and I am grateful to have a home surrounded by books and art and a little dog.

    General 25 years together, 16 with PTSD in the mix.

    I don't have anything of substance to add, but The Mouse That Roared is a fun film starring Peter Sellers in which he plays 3 different roles (same number of roles he played in Dr Strangelove) and a pre-Doctor Who William Hartnell which seems to be available here these days. I can't get it out...

    Sleep hygiene tips - the smallest things that help?

    Okay, so like so many folk here, my sleep is terrible with anxiety about bed, nightmares, frequent awakening, over- and under-sleeping, etc. But I've been working on making it better, because there is such a connection between my sleep and my emotional state.

    Sufferer Finally on a path to deal w cptsd

    Welcome to the forum! Pete Walker’s book is an excellent resource. If you find that good books are more accessible than therapy at the moment, I can also recommend The Body Keeps the Score. Van der Kolk is up there as one of the world’s best traumatologists, and this work in particular has...

    I just applied for retirement - I’m freaking out

    That's it exactly. Even doing simple things, every day, make it worth getting up in the morning. My "retirement" was a little more forced because of cognition issues, which was hard to wrap my head around at first. BUT. I found things I wanted to do and despite them being double difficult at...

    We don’t always get the love we deserve from others

    Do you know Bell Hook's book "All about love"? It's an incredible work on this theme and might resonate deeply with you.

    Has Hypnotherapy made things worse or better for you?

    I’ve read the DSM 5 and books on trauma, and they mention Hypnotherapy as a modality. I was wondering this because I’ve read EMDR can be very disorienting. I want to know if this has been disorienting for people as well.

    Still have friends from my college years

    Still have friends from my college years, my sorority sisters and I was in one. They were easy on me getting me in and which they got to know me. Did tell them I am transgender at the time on the estrogen and male hormone blockers, they were cool about it and accepting me as one of the girls...
