My really good friends asked if I could store 8 boxes of books at my house. I live in a small house, roughly 400 square feet. I don't have a basement or any storage other than closets. I said no, because I don't have room. I don't want to clutter my home. They have a house smaller than mine...

Hey there, My husband found this thread for me. He read me some posts and really related and found it helpful. We both did, actually. So, I thought I would join the forum and see some more, and share some. A counselor mentioned to me about 5 years ago that I was experiencing ptsd, but I've...
