I am so down I just can't seem to get my happy going. I just don't care if I wake up tomorrow. I sat parked at the edge of the river the other day and tried to think of a reason to not drive in. I figured some do-gooder would end up pulling me out and everything would be even worse. I have...

I live on the opposite coast from my family. I need to go help with my father and I have been in a panic about how I travel 3,000 miles. I finally decided to rent a vehicle and drive rather than fly. It will cost more but I was having a panic attack just looking at flights. I can't believe I am...

It is snowing here in Massachusetts. A heavy, wet snow. The worst of it hasn't arrived here yet and I am hoping we do not have a power outage. Because the trees still have leaves on them, everyone is concerned about trees coming down. Add some nasty wind coming in and tonight and tomorrow could...

Hi, I am hoping this will give me a place to safely discuss my PTSD symptoms. I probably have more than one diagnosis but PTSD is the one we know. I was neglected and lived in a violent home. While I was not attacked, I watched my younger brother be beaten regularly. I was sexually abused...
