    Good luck with that! If your beagle is anything like mine he will keep you on your toes.. Start saving for new upholstery for your furniture, they love to chew!

    TV

    Weeds is one of my all time favourite shows too! I love watching a more disfunctional mother than me, it makes me feel competent.

    Relationship "I'm Done With You"

    Mavis, from my experience, the toing and froing wears very thin. My sufferer (if i can even call him that now) must have ended it with me 8 or 9 times, but always came back saying he missed me, loved me etc. In all fairness to him, he also maintained for some time that he wasn't sure he could...

    Relationship Big Shock Tonight

    I think writing it instead of just saying it takes off some immediate pressure to have answers. If Jawn writes it down ad leaves it for his wife, it will give her time to think on it, instead of going with her first reaction in the heat of the moment. Write it out, leave it by her bed and...

    Future Plans For PTSDForum.org

    I wouldn't like to see the carers separated from the sufferers. There is too much valuable information offered from both parties with help in the understanding for each.

    PTSD And Hyperthyroidism

    HYPOTHALAMIC PITUITARY THYROID AXIS Biological studies of traumatic stress in humans to date have focused mainly on the responses of the sympathetic-adrenal medullary axis and catecholamines and the hypothalamicpituitary adrenal axis and cortisol. Less attention has been given to the...

    Zoloft

    I've been taking Zoloft (150mg) for about 3 years to manage anxiety. I couldn't function without it. I still get anxiety, but it is much reduced.

    Oh yeah, he looks cute, but I'm sure he is a devil in disguise. I'm going to send Santa a lump of coal for Christmas this year to thank him...

    Santa brought my children a Beagle pup for Christmas. I'm not sure what he was thinking :crazy:

    Coping With Relationships

    I could see what you were getting at, but even the strongest of people have emotional issues and at some point need someone to lean on and support them. It isn't a matter of depression or mental illness. I'm by no means saying that you were wrong for ending your current relationship, more that...

    Coping With Relationships

    Is there such a thing? I'm not just talking about males either, females too. I'm not sure any of us are free of issues. I think it's a matter of finding someone with issues you CAN live with and I don't think that is anything to feel guilty about.

    Movies About PTSD

    As a carer, the 'Time Travellers Wife' hit a nerve. This wonderful man you felt like you've waited your whole life for and when he is there it's amazing, then he disappears. I think most carers with sufferers who shut out could really relate to it.

    New Member Ranks

    Purple is alright, but green is by far the best... Not that I'm biased cause it's my favourite colour or anything ;)

    Relationship The Time Has Come

    I've been on Anti D's for quite a while, not because I suffer depression, but I needed something to help me manage my anxiety. If I wasn't taking them, I would be a nervous wreck right now. They were a life saver, I'd wake up with intense anxiety for no reason every morning and find myself...

    Relationship The Time Has Come

    I'm having a blah day today. He has been in my dreams every night for the past 8 days. I hadn't remembered dreams for a while up until then. Weird dreams too, there is always a lot of water around. Not lakes or oceans, just masses of water in fields or residential streets that appears suddenly...

    PTSD - The Positive Bit

    Louisa, I think you are right. As a carer and reading the things other carers say, our sufferers are the most amazing people when well, people that makes us feel like we have never felt before. I definitely think that has something to do with PTSD or even trauma and suffering. I don't know...

    General Interesting, Inspiring, Creative Music Video Clips

    Do any other carers find the song 'Bad Romance' by Lady Gaga fitting to their situations? I have to have a little giggle whenever I hear it, cause me and my sufferer could definitely write a bad romance.

    General Extreme Rage For No Apparent Reason

    Crying is great and I'm not talking about the sitting around feeling sorry for myself crying, but that crying that comes from the pit of your stomach, then just seems to let everything go.

    General Extreme Rage For No Apparent Reason

    I do, Berger. I have days where I just snap over the smallest of things when usually I'm pretty good at shrugging things off. I don't know where it comes from, but I know when I feel like that, my chest feels tight, my throat tightens and I have an overwhelming sense to let out a huge scream...

    Tattooing As An "Acceptable" Form Of Self-Harm

    I totally agree with that. Both of my tats have meaning to specific times in my life. The first was when I found out my husband cheated, it is a modified version of the Love, Life and Loyalty symbol. The second one was the 12 month anniversary after we split up, its the Kanji symbols for faith...

    Relationship Can't Live Like This Anymore

    I swear I could have written that. Be kind to yourself, Horizons. If you don't feel you can give up completely, don't. Just don't hang on for the "what ifs" and "what was" because you could be waiting for a hell of a long time and still be right where you are now.
