I never thought I'd say this but my Psychology class is triggering me horrendously. I'm supposed to take it for my core classes to graduate but this is ridiculous. I'm already crying and getting upset at some of the responses in a discussion forum. Apparently everyone suffers from Parkinson's...

As you know, I deleted my family from the Rolodex of life and because they were a bad virus. I walked away and decided to do away from the sickness, narcissism, anyway, you all know my story. Today, I realized that if any of my family members died, I wouldn't care. I thought about it and didn't...

I want to graduate from college in the Criminal Justice field/Homeland Security. I want to succeed. Since starting over back in school, I'm almost done with the Criminal Justice/Homeland security curriculum and will be the first in this college to graduate with this curriculum, thus earning me a...

Well, everyone...this is week three of my fall that broke my left foot and gave me a contusion on my right leg. To say the least, I can't bend my foot and depending on my contusion leg is painful. I'm in a boot cast and I'm black and blue. The fall was bad-I was sight seeing. Okay, I was...

Where do I begin? My mother in law is destroying her son and our marriage. Where do I begin? Where do I start? In the beginning, I thought we had a great relationship although I noticed she was negative at everyone and everything around. She had a hard abusive life and apparently, she...

As I'm sitting here not doing my homework, I'm sitting here thinking about my friends who were shot and killed on September 8, 2001. I have survivor's guilt and I have PTSD from some of this. I couldn't save Nick and Marsha was gone before I knew it. It's been 15 long years and the tears come...

How do I explain this in layman's terms..... A childhood friend to whom I loved was trying to get back into my life by being a friend. A FRIEND! It's been thirty freaking years and he literally destroyed me by screwing around with me while loving another woman (we were in our teens). Back then...

Everyone knows about the situation with my oh so idiopathic, narcissistic stepson. Yeah, the one that went to prison for pedophilia and so on and so forth. Well, it got worse before it got better. 1. His father, me, and his grandmother all bought him a car or gave him one. To make a long story...

It's an amazing feeling to know that I found a great counselor to help me in my therapy!!!!!!!!!! Oh I'm praising my higher power that this is going to last a long time, through good and bad. YAAYYYY!

From what I'm seeing, there are many threads in regards to in laws however this one is a doozy. Everyone knows about my STB (soon to be) ex-stepson; he's been in prison for raping a 13 year old twice, hence, he is deemed a molester for 25 years. He's 24 and by the time he's 49, he'll be away...

I sent my brother a message to say, "I forgive you" to set myself free. Good idea, right? WRONG Joel: Heather I love and I do care about you. What I said to you was not wrong, but my going on FB and saying it was. I should have discussed it with you. That is what my brother stated. Well, duh...

Ever since I was fired from the State where I live, I've had to go to temp agencies to get a job to try to support myself. These were very low paying jobs but I took them anyway. I have 14 years of government experience under my belt but that went out the window. Today, I was "let go" of my job...

Ever since I was a little girl, I was different. It was pointed out to me by my "new age" PTSD counsellor that I'm a Pleiades child (news to me however it could make sense). My aura is uber strong and, even though I get along quite well with people, I can be..what's the word...well, let's just...

My last and final essay is about PTSD, a subject I, unfortunately, know well. The title of my essay will be: WHY PTSD ISN'T JUST A MILITARY DISABILITY Now for those of you who are in the military or spouses/loved ones in the military, this is not an insult or anything bad upon you all AT ALL...

Costochondritis (kos-toe-KHON-dri-tis) is an inflammation of the cartilage that connects a rib to the breastbone (sternum) — a junction known as the costosternal joint. Pain caused by costochondritis may mimic that of a heart attack or other heart conditions. Your doctor might refer to...

Last night was a night of horrors. In fact, this whole weekend was a night of horrors but I won't go there. Halloween/Samhain isn't here yet but you think that it is. I belong to a few PTSD groups on Facebook and I'm NOT going to say their names due to privacy issues. I was comforting someone...

I don't know if this post belongs on this thread however I thought I would add this as a success. I finally got a therapist that deals specifically with non military CPTSD and it is faith based, which is tackling another "issue" I have with my PTSD. He asked me if I am grounded and I said that...

My whole family were a bunch of narcissists and they only thought of themselves, especially my uncle. He couldn't think about anything but himself and he just loved the attention he received as a theater manager. It was when a 30 year old actor raped a 13 year old budding actress did his world...

My name is Heather and I was diagnosed with PTSD and mood disorder (unspecified-go figure). I was diagnosed within the last two years but have suffered depression. My childhood and my adult life was full of abuse from my dysfunctional family and ex-husbands that I have chosen rather badly. I am...

Last night, I suffered a mild heart attack due to the stress and the issues of what I've been going through at work and at home. My soon to be ex was too busy to care and, as usual in women, the symptoms weren't there enough to see that I was going through issues like fatigue, jaw numbness and...

My friend is having a 31 Party in the next state where she lives and the catalogue party consists of buying purses, bags, organizing boxes and such for you and your home. I ordered one of those draw string back packs and with each bag you can have it personalized and so forth including putting...

My body is literally shutting down to the point that I cannot be productive here at work or at home. I want to sleep and rest as if my body is recovering from 42 years of PTSD and then a workplace violence episode brought up by my work (EEOC, there I went!!). People know about my PTSD when it is...
