“Fear not your enemies, for they can only kill you.
Fear not your friends, for they can only betray you.
Fear only the indifferent, who permit the killers and betrayers
to walk safely on the earth.”
Edward Yashinsky
I like this article about van der Kolk and his pioneering en research in ptsd.
Bessel van der Kolk likes to introduce his workshops on Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) with medical film clips from World War I showing veterans diagnosed with what was then called “shell shock.” In these...
progressive
oh and that of being a progressive country, forget about that that's history
since the execution of a politician here and 9/11 all hell broke loose
it's more extreme right and a great concern to europe what is happening in my country lately
but that's a complex political discussion...
hi evie
hi been little bit preoccupied with things lately
therefore my reply took a while, sorry
but I see you've been busy also. Congrats on your job!
I think evie's collection is a good example of your talent. I thought it was a character from a real comic book that I didn't know.
okay back...
congratulations
that's awesome, great opportunity. I red that the evie's collection is from your hand, so somebody recognized your talent. You're really good at what you do. I can understand you're shyness about reveiling your work. It's always difficult I think to value ones own work. And...
europe et al
:-) okay I'm impressed with your knowledge in medicine and history. I didn't want to throw al kind of names around like Tay Sachs and Ashkenazi, but I see that I don't have to withhold that from you ;-)
Napoleon liked names: we all had to get names, his orders. So the records (for...
strange
I must do something wrong then, neither the link here nor copy and paste works. Never mind as long as other people can look and listen to it. Thnx
ECT and 18 hours
18 hours: yes it goes on and on, I think I do this myself b/c of the yelling, screaming I keep myself in that state, keeping up the high adrenaline levels. I don't remember how it stopped. Now it is b/c of exhaustion but then? Maybe b/c I finally got someone on the phone who...

that's a great answer about Spiegelman. What I meant is that Spiegelman is German (the name). I know his comic book about the jews and the holocaust (he's world famous for it).
He is of german descent, somewhere. His bloodline is german originally. Generations ago maybe. Where he was born...

hello anthony
I posted this Chronos video yesterday and it was working fine
now you edited it and it is not working anymore
also copying or pasting in the webbrowser doesn't work any more
can you undo what you did or repair it?
huh
"Many clinicians will, perhaps, not be concerned on a day-to-day basis if the symptoms of PTSD are found not to be specific to the disorder, as they can still treat the symptoms, regardless of how they are classified."
oh can they? That's good news :)
you need sound for this
"Chronos," a reference to the Greek, is an audio-visual representation of the experience and perception of subjective time. Chika's abstract flickering imagery and Zach's low frequency sine (Alpha) waves are used as a means of evoking rhythms that reflects a relaxed...
continuation
deja vu: once I “knew” people, I could “read” them, know what they were up to, thinking, when they would call, what they were going to say, knew what was going to happen. I was good at it. Now it's mixed up. I am still good at reading people and am still right every time but it is...
mice
maus is my cat, it is german for mouse, because I didn't want a cat who's name is mouse. But she looked like one when I find her. A tail so thin like that of a mouse, grey and very malnourished she weigh 1 kg then.
later I called her princess when she was healthy again and beautiful. Art...
difficult 2
you're for some reason in the habit of asking impossible questions to answer ;-)
maybe that's because you couldn't figure out the answers yourself either
anyway there is no answer to that question. It all depends on the people you will encounter in your workplace.
I could suggest...
hello stranger
Hay Evie,
I just started here a week ago or so. First I wish you well of course and I am happy to hear you're out of the hospital.
I wanted to comment on what you said here.
-I can control anger
I cannot control my anger either and for a few days last week I could stop the rage...
hurray
hey porta,
that's good news for the both of you. Happy with his decision? 6 weeks for yourself? Hope it will do you both a world of good these changes.
phone?
hi mincey
I was thinking, maybe it is an idea to see a therapist once, for an intake, to get acquainted and then continue therapy by telephone.
Call some therapists first to find out if they are willing to do that after just one personal consultation. And if you have a day of or holiday...

A young polar bear asked its mother:
“Mummy am I a real polar bear?” of course you are!
and are you a real polar bear? Of course I am! she replied. And daddy? Yes he too, and your parents too? and daddy’s parents too? Yes everybody is. Why do you ask? Well if our family are real polar...

I'm not concerned that most people get rather confused when my mind acts if it needs something
I'm more concerned that I need something when my mind is acting at all :wink:
difficult stuff
this is a difficult question
there are two groups of anti-psychotic drugs
-classic (haldol, orap, cisordinol etc. many)
-atypical (new generation of drugs risperdal, zyprexa, leponex, seroquel)
risperdal is atypical. The classical drugs are well know for there (side)effects...
