I appreciate that you are trying to help, but I find it does no good to reinforce traditional puritanical toxic masculinity. There is nothing alternative about it. Like: get over it! The only person you are hurting is you. Buck up, stiff upper lip! Don't give them air time in your head! Just...

Does it seem reasonable to claim that garbage disposal waste can magically defy gravity and go up a pipe? The clog was in the pipe between 2 floors. The pipe would have to pressurized, and the waste probably forced up with a motor. I have not seen any motor under the kitchen sink. Pretend for...

Hello, I am a CPTSD sufferer. My landlord is becoming verbally abusive, and I am tempted to tell her that I want communication by letter only. No emails, texts, or phone calls. I would be completely available to any repair company they hire, to call me to make arrangements. I am afraid that...

Thanks very much, that is a great way to put it! Yeah, I could be a target for some dangerous people, and I've been told to lay low now, and pretend I don't notice anything. I am currently reinforcing my rented condo with crime prevention devices. The noise situation has improved - I...

Hi, I have a mild case of PTSD, am not on meds, but I don't work. Unfortunately I ended up in a neighborhood with an entire drug dealing ring. The noise and harassment from that has been awful. I had to take it as far as starting a neighborhood watch to get any help from the police. Ok...

I wonder if it's really good to put labels like that on your experience at the gastroscopy. I'm not sure your own therapist ( if you have one) would take that approach either.

I know it's not a simple matter, and thank you for your encouragement :). Well, thank you, but it's too late to change it now. I was thinking more in terms of, this is the end, this is what I have to say at the end. So since she did not hear it, I have to live with that. And it's ok too...

Digger1, when you had your intense fear reaction at the gastroscopy, did you feel like you could "take responsibility" and control it? Barberin, thank you, I'm with you on that. Kas_kan_fly, I've been diagnosed since the first time I posted here, She is not official. She's been rushed to a...

Ok, I didn't know how it works with the VIP thing, apology accepted. @Justmehere : Thank you so much for your very wise words, that really helps me. The situation with that job was running down anyway. It was a part time on-call job, and they were severely disorganized to the point that...

Digger1, I have to say I'm shocked that you're a VIP premium member, and you don't know about bullying and PTSD. It's about both. Ayesha, thank you.

PS: That supervisor was not the one that gave me PTSD, that was the job before that.

Really? And if there was a history of being treated like crap, and then abuse that causes you suffering, you'd put up with it? She doesn't have to worry about how I feel, and honestly, now that I'm not there to serve her whims, I'm not so sure she will at all. And that's ok, because I set the...

@atthree: thank you :). @Ghostybear73: in my opinion, she really should have waited and taken some time before trying to start orchestrating a memorial. But she didn't, and I suppose this is the result. I do not feel like putting up with people who keep triggering me; if it happens I will...

Hi all, I've had PTSD for a couple of years now. I just ended a "friendship" with another woman (I'm female) who is now in the throes of PTSD therapy due to her significant other killing himself last week. It is looking like she's going to be the kind of PTSD person who takes it out on others...

How did pumpkinpie get banned?

Hi all, I've been there one year, but I got ptsd from the job before that, due to bullying. There's a lot of reasons I quit, but I just sort of reached a point today where I just imploded. I do part-time on call work at various conventions around town, and can end up with whatever...

Ps: and my immediate boss has also started abusing people. At the last assignment, he overheard this poor old guy talking to someone about a competitor, and this immediate boss yelled at him for doing that. Excuse me, we all do that, and many people work for more than one company at a time...

hi everyone, Thanks for your replies. I am in the U.S., where it is not illegal to bully people. I don't intend to speak to my supervisor/ boss about it because I know that will do nothing, and I already went over his head, and even that did not help me. I am also not going to risk any...

Or maybe a possibility would be to change to the swing shift, then I might only have 2 hours a day of contact with her - but I'm not so sure now that I could handle even that. I had thought of getting a note from the doctor or something, to tell the supervisors to keep her away from me, but...

Hi all, I have a part time on-call job which is causing me ptsd-like symptoms. I don't believe it is full ptsd, but I believe I came real close to having some kind of acute stress breakdown at work last week. I was experiencing ferocious insomnia, nightmares, muscle aches, difficulty...
