I am going through a rough period in my life. However, that is the easy part. What I think I need help with is this - there is someone in my life very close to me, and she is in danger of losing her father and her grandmother in the same week. Her grandmother likely will not make it through...

And wanted to share with you all. I hope you all have a wonderful day. _______________________________ Often I write in third person, but tonight, I feel like writing in a first person narrative. “Life sucks.” I can't tell you how many times I have stated those words, or how many more times...

...that you have been paying the pied piper for so goddamn long that you are entitled to happiness, it is not simply a goal to strive for but a right? I feel that way.

And found this site. It speaks to my heart especially during this time of year. http://psychcentral.com/blog/archives/2013/05/23/self-love-is-not-a-crime-learning-to-love-yourself/

May all of our hearts grow 3 sizes. :)

...But I very much want to share something with all of you because it reminds me so much of what I try to share with many of you so often. I am in love. Again. Not for the first time, but maybe for the best time. I feel like not being alone again. I am reminded I am good at things I set...

And hope you all get the same chuckle I did from this "Wrap." :-)

And I want to share this with this community. I am trying to become an author professionally, and draw on my experiences and love of hope to write short stories. If none of you mind I would like to share one of my favorite stories I wrote. A short forward. “When things are hard, they are...

Online or in person is cool. Looking for good folks like you to chat with about these feelings and share my thoughts. Hit me up.

So many of you have been so kind to me and this forum is such a success story for me and I hope for many of you as well. I wish all of you wonderful holiday wishes and just want to host a party and invite all of you so I can give you the much deserved hug you should receive. Thank you for...

For once I finally stood up for myself. I said, "wife - I want a kitten. I need something beautiful in my life and want to watch it grow with me and be a part of me. I will not back down from this. I will not end up with a seven year old tabby named buddy or whatever. I won't have it."...

Once that wall is breached, I become the monster I knew I would become. The "person" I don't consider human anymore; I am a product of my own worst fears and a personification of everything I try not to be. This is usually the moment in time where I stare at what I wrote, and see a bright...

It's been over a year since my dog died, and I don't think I want the extra responsibilities I'd have to take on with another dog versus a cat. I'm hoping to adopt a kitten from the local SPCA/shelter, and looking forward to having a companion that doesn't hate me quite as much as humans seem...

So I was in the hospital for the past few days. A lot of my PTSD revolves around trips to the hospital, and that pit in my stomach that forms when I find out I''m to be admitted (again). It's the same feeling of dread every time. So I am laying in bed, in a fairly decent amount of pain, and...

I hope a brief insert of levity is okay. I had a thought earlier I would like to share. It made me chuckle, I hope it may make you. :) I was thinking earlier - what if we were on an NFL football team completely comprised of PTSD sufferers. An image popped into my head. I saw a very weary...

I am not certain how many of you are familiar with the story of The Frog and The Scorpion, but I was recently thinking about it, and decided to do a slight re-write. I hope you enjoy. :) ____________________________ One day, a frog is sitting alone on the edge of a lake, staring at the lake...

A short forward: I have been thinking about my PTSD and decided that if I am going to have to live with it, we are going to have to get along better. This letter is addressed to my PTSD, much like I would address any other letter to someone in my life I was having an issue with. ______________...

Hello. My name is Bob, and I have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Please forgive the formal “AA” introduction. PTSD is a bitch. I live my days in fear of the next bad thing that will happen. Every second I am alive is another second I have to be on guard for the next. It never seems to...
