    Poll How Has Your Belief In A Higher Power Changed After Your Trauma?

    See I would consider myself in the same boat but that's why I say agnostic. I look at string theory and infinite probably. With the absence of proof does not mean it cannot be true. While I do not consider a god I do consider a higher power, idk how I could explain further. But ya that's my...

    Poll How Has Your Belief In A Higher Power Changed After Your Trauma?

    Well my personal experience has swayed my belief system drastically. I once believed there was an all loving god but since then i consider myself an agnostic now. Tied to no understanding of a higher power. It's really a complex issue for me because I would love to have some sort of faith in my...

    The People That Are In My Life Don't Deserve To Know.

    Poll Has Ptsd Caused Or Changed Your Donations To Charity?

    Not donations but volunteering at every opportunity. Though I don't like doing it at organizations, for me it's the guy stuck on the side of the road or hanging out with those who are homeless and just bullshiting. Giving some sort of help. I don't have to run into them again. And it gives me...

    Sufferer Held Hostage, Watched Best Friend Be Decapitated

    Well the worst of the trauma came out to my fiancé in a nightmare, she woke me up, and knew it was not just some dream, she knew that I was diagnosed but I was, well...afraid of being honest on that issue. She woke me from my nightmare when I started screaming for help and to stop. We then went...
