That same meeting I spoke about in the last post, the first question asked of us was 'how to the region (it was led by representative) could improve the homelessness situation. I looked around the table. Everyone looked pretty perplexed. I raised my hand. Build more housing. Seems...

@bluebinstein , wow that's a big deal getting your book published, well done, great for your self esteem 🙃.

...was abusive, or this person has views I personally find abrasive, and so I will vilify them far and wide. Would I go out of my way to buy books written by a rapist, absolutely not. Do I listen and sing quite loudly to Kanye West. Yes. I can see the man is highly problematic but I do enjoy...

I love running. And mountain hiking or walking in the countryside. I love a film festival. I used to take a week off work and go to the festivals and watch 4-5 films a day. I love music. Playing and listening. I love snorkeling when on holiday. Always will book a boat trip and snorkel...

......despite all of the work I've done over the years, I still have an inner-perfectionist trying to run the show - even as a patient. Are you kidding me?! Really?! I'm trying to just breathe here for a minute and take it all in, to recover, to plan..... Give it a rest, sister, and re-read...

The fact that it has gotten me, like a lot of other people, into a dark pit? Yes, a lot of people understand that. How it affects me specifically, no. It would take a book to explain the intricacies of why I say this, but it's not hyperbole. I've tried many times in the past nine months. Nope...

Reading and hanging in there. Went with B to see K for three hours, K is a rip off merchant, cleaned my car out to search for the key, went shopping for a book for Xmas, then I was overwhelmed, B went shopping and I sat in the car. Another big storm last night. So many folks upset at their...

Happy for you, they sound interesting. I'm reading Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. This evening is strange, never been alone on New Year's before, my mood is low but I'm getting through. No gaming for awhile now, I've been working on my streaming stuff throughout December. Almost finished, hoping...

This is probably going to be long, sorry! I’m just feeling really bothered by something about my therapist and I’m really struggling to let it go. It’s causing me a lot of difficult feelings and I feel very stuck in them. I would be very grateful for some support. As a bit of background: I’ve...

Thanks, that's some very thorough advice. I'm actually surprisingly well off despite this (I actually got a comp sci degree in the few years afterwards lol) but some of the symptoms now I think are due to accumulation/age and situational isolation. Anyways I appreciate it, will check out some of...

I’ve cracked open A Gentleman In Moscow on the assurance that it was brilliantly written. Well, okay, yes - the writing style is very well done. But, call me a fuddy-duddy, but…I do like a plot. And beyond a few opening pages given over to explaining why this dude is living in a hotel, I’m...

I'm hoping to get started on listening to Illusions by Richard Bach. I've read and listened to it before, but always seem to find something new each time. I'd also like to finish up listening to Hinds Feet On High Places by Hannah Hurnard. This book has been a journey for me to get to the...

...picks movies like this and if I used my agency for another type of film he would get bored and change it. The consequence? I would rather read books or diy home decor magazines listen to educational podcasts or psycho education podcasts. Listen to calming music or take a nap in bed with my...

Welcome to the community - glad you found us! Mod Note: One of our rules here is no self-promotion. You can read about that in the Community Constitution. However, we do have other authors on forum, maybe you’ll get some pointers on getting your book out into other parts of world .

Update about my husband and me. He had a brain injury at age 8. Was paralyzed for awhile. Trauma from fsther growing up. He is a veteran. I have been staring at the reality for awhile..he said he had a vision with this injury at age 8. Saw everything that is happening now then. Aka second civil...

...*does* seem easier to think about in black and white—or to imagine that others do that—but like you said, we all have that line—for you no books by rapists. I’m getting the consensus that many of us have a hard line and a fuzzy line. I appreciate people bringing in environmental and human...

It really depends. It is an emotional decision not a rational one. These cases also show how common it is to hurt kids. When I was younger I read Alice Miller. She was seen as a super-mother, a protector of children. Much later her son wrote a book about his relationship to her, he had an awful...

My immediate family are all in the 4-digit number of miles away, so either we don't do Christmas at all or have a few months' notice of Christmas (booking flights and whatnot). Also relatives' allergies to the cold (even if they get to stay inside) mean that there's no way they're going to want...

...DSMIV, DSM5… are often 180 degrees different. You’re certain you had the DSM5 & not DSMIV, or DSMIII? When students are buying $500- $1,000 textbooks? They often go “back” a version or three, to the $50-$200 book, and crazy highlighted / torn out pages / serious,u degraded even less expensive...

...Even if i do find some copium, the pain cannot be fully supressed, it can only be curbed. I know sth or two abt cptsd because i read several books on the topic and do my own research, but after all that, i dont think all that knowing will helps me all the way. It hurts, and it hurts. Idk why...

...has hijacked your mind, figuring out what your values are, and how you can choose to act on your values instead of eg fears and triggers. The books by Russ Harris were suggested to me as being easy to understand introductions to ACT Books that were amazing for me were Judith L Hermann...

That is I landed here also. Glad you are reading it. 😊

People who say they understand CPTSD because they got some information from TikTok/YouTube or even read a book. Maybe it’s more that they need to understand the difference between “knowing” and “understanding” are two completely separate things.

Being here. It’s such a valuable resource. Being able to effectively journal which I never would have done with a physical book because someone would have read it I would have made sure . I couldn’t think about or talk about it or write it down . I struggled and struggled here for years to...

Thank you…🙏🏼
