Please excuse if this thread is upsetting to some people. Please stop reading here and consider this a warning, since the situation involves an awful lot of PTSD genuine triggers, not merely stressors. On the news this morning some of you may already have seen the story of the Alabama bus...

I am having zero luck fooling around with photo shop programs by myself. The thing is, I'd like to keep my Kimmie doll as my avatar. I see most have begun to use something else for now, which is of course cool but mine is pretty symbolic for me- means a HUGE, big deal, was extraordinarily...

This morning featured something in this house which is genrally frowned upon- my 14 year old son saying 'OHNOOOOO'. At 5:45. This generally means somehing unsolvable requires solving between 5:45 and 6:15 when the bus arrives, hence frowned upon. THIS time? He'd forgotten to watch the meteor...

I just came across this on the news and have NO words, surprisingly. I'd love to start laughing and not stop until New Years if I did not suspect it may do some harm across the board. Holyyyyy Heck. I get dismissive about Suzie Homemaker ovens...... The little girl puts on an apron with...

I'm an incredibly poor contributer here, if starting threads is any measure- my last one no doubt being ' Hi, I'm Anni Is My Tinfoil Hat An Indication Of PTSD? '. I forget how many I received in the mail but thanks, some of them fit and the Mother Ship hasn't been parked over the house lately...

If someone's already done this, PLEASE excuse! Junebug was here when I arrived, baffled and reactive and pretty much MUCH more of a mess than the daily mess you witness at the moment. Her gentle presence and frequent offers from her inexhaustable souce of wisdom, so quietly given, have...

I was just dutifully catching up on email this morning and someone sent me a copy/paste with excerpts from a site pertaining to something they KNEW has been making me insane. It's all about this stupid auto-correct thing the phone does. I thought it was just me, because tech stuff and I do not...

I never do this, start a thread. In my head, you see anything I have to say is negated by knowing I HAVE so much- so incredibly blessed with SO much others do not have, who the hell am I to 'go through' a struggle? Husband who is a gem, little house in the woods, 4 children who inexplicably...

Is there going to be a 'contact' option? Not necessarily a feedback option-would be burdensome, or even an open 'feel free to contact me' thing but a link whereby readers could possibly get in touch with author/editor regarding content. Not that anyone on the planet could change what has been...

I don't often start threads, but my son showed me this and I really, really wished to share it, in case it gave anyone else the Christmas thrill-the-stuffing out of me it did for me, lifting an awful lot of crap thereby. The setting is the old Wanamaker's buidling in Philadelphia, PA, USA, an...

So funny. as in wierd, not heehee- we gave up ours, too, for the same reason! I'd have to think there's a ton of us moderates 'out there'- not willing to capitulate to either side out of wishing to sound like someone who HAS to agree with someone. I'm a Democrat and boy, do I get it in the NECK...

I never start threads, which I realize is terribly unfair given the amount of members who daily pretty much strip themselves naked in complete trust here. It's not lack of trust, just an ego thing or lack thereof but still.... not quite fair, I know. Having resloved to do so, decided it had...

Well, I know where I can come when it's a bit MUCH and this stupid thing has me by the throat. One rides the waves for so long then can't MOVE. I'm in a major avoidant/isolation episode which showz zero signs of leaving. Posting actually can get you going, I have no idea why. This week. A trip...

Hi. It's been awhile since I've posted a thread. I don't even know what I hope to gain from this except that maybe by writing I'll get out of the dam door. My 11 year old son is on the 3rd day of one of his migraines and I have to take him down to the ER for some IV treatment. I've...

Hi Anyone, I few weeks ago I posted with some extreme symptoms which popped up after getting badlyyyy triggered. Concentrating to spell, much less write was impossible. The racing heart, sick stomach, inability to form sentences, etc. I don't have to tell anyone here how awful, intrusive and...

Hi, This might be very long, so I do apologise. I know it is tough to get through very long posts, but have a question which seems important and it will take some explanations. I actually typed this earlier, the internet disconnected and I lost the whole thing. It had my story of dreck in...

My hands shake as I type this, my thinking is laborious in the extreme, my heart is burning hot in the middle of my chest and I managed to get 4 hours of sleep last night after finally downing 2 Ambien and a shot of vodka. Dangerous, yes I realize that. The neurological sytem has it's hands...

Hi, I was going to post this under 'Succcess Stories' but changed my mind because I'm not sure it is. It seems more like some KEEP GOING story, albeit a BORING one. It's one which needs to be told, though, because it seems to highlight that no matter how aware one is of one's various triggers...

Hi, I've been on the forum for much longer today than usual. I can't seem to get off, because I'm triggered all over the place but can't get any positive motion going. I'm actually so full of dread/anxiety/fear/shame that I'm even feeling hesitant to 'intrude' on anyone else's posts by adding...

Hi! I don't know how to use the emoticons or I'd smile. I'm very very pleased to have found this- and even more pleased to be posting. My PTSD is of 18 years duration now, the result of domestic violence which became stalking and involved genuine ( although I am sure I do not need to convince...
