Hello Everyone, I have been here just lurking and reading once in awhile, but more often lately as I Google PTSD issues and certain threads on the forum pop up. I'm really afraid to write this right now. I find myself in a place of great humility, shame and intense fear and guilt. My PTSD is...

I haven't been to the forum in a long time. It looks so different I nearly missed it on the Google Search! Anyway, . . .I've just recently been coming to terms with the impact PTSD has had on my life. It was easier to blame my chronic illnesses, and to 'toot my horn' about that because it was...

"Don't trip, chocolate chip!" ...my daughter's response to my triggers, hence the 'don't trip' as my name here. It adds humor to a very humorless disorder. I have a tendency to be wordy, so I'll try to keep this short. The rules and legalities here are a little overwhelming and this site very...
