    It Hurts

    Nic, So sorry to hear that you're hurting so badly. That's the worst. I do hope that you can find something (or a combination of somethings) that help to keep your pain under control. Sending hugs and love Lisa

    What I Hate The Most About Ptsd

    I think the thing I absolutely hate the most about PTSD is that even when I do something I enjoy, something fun, or something I've looked forward to that's just a tad off center from my normal scheduled day, my body and mind let me know about it in not so pleasant ways. This afternoon a bunch...

    Poll Are You More Angry At Your Perpetrating Parent Or Your Parent That Did Not Protect You?

    I voted for the non-protecting parent...my mother. My father was physically/emotionally abusive, cared only about his comforts above all and was a real bastard. My parents created an enviroment where my brother became just like my father, only worse. My brother was the one that raped and...

    Five Years Later...

    July 1st was the five year anniversary of my breakdown thanks to PTSD. Five years ago (plus a few days) I was a different person than I am now. Some ways I think are better, a few are worse. I do know deep down inside that I'm not the same person I was before. I can't quantify it or make a...

    The Cliches That Make Me Want To Scream

    'What doesn't kill you makes you stronger'...after everything I've been through in the abuse and leaning to live with the aftermath, all I can say is I don't feel stronger. All I've felt is tired, flawed and ready to give up sometimes. But hey, thanks for being so supportive. *rolling eyes*

    You Know You Have PTSD When...

    When you wake up one day and the insanity that is PTSD is now your normal. When the anger you've carried for so long at the fact that your life has had to make such a radical shift is gone. You know the PTSD is still there and can raise its ugly head when it wants to, but you actually start...

    News Usa Is Broke

    I gotta tell you Anthony, for someone who constantly runs off at the mouth against the US, you sure seem to enjoy chatting about it. A lot. I've been reading this same tripe for four and a half years now. Find a new tune...this one is getting old! Don't you have problems in your own country...

    Financial Anxiety

    I was laid off in April of 2009 and boy do I understand financial anxiety. I was out of work for three months and, while we never had any threats of losing anything (I had unemployment and if we keep expenses down we can live on my husband's salary), I still have this fear that lives inside of...

    List The Titles Of Your Threads Which You'll Probably Never Write:

    This was actually inspired by yesterday morning's unexpected memory ambush and then I'm sick to my stomach. So my body's reaction to the extra acid in my stomach was to start burping. Lovely. All I could think was I'm my own musical section when this crap starts up. Thanks, hope.

    A Letter To My (your) Mother

    Mom, I love you and I hate you and I've yet to be able to figure out what to do about it. So I stay away from you. You and dad raised your son to be a self-centered, ego-fed, unable to do anything for himself monster. As soon as he figured out that he could use his fists to make me do things...

    Greeting Cards That Should Be In The Ptsd Section....

    Dear mother and father: Thanks so much for creating a home in which I learned fear instead of love, silence instead of laughter and how to keep your secrets oh so well. And I really want to thank you for creating a monster-brother that could beat, rape and sexually abuse me at will. And for...

    Happy Birthday Lisa (marlene)

    Here I am! LOL Thanks everyone for the lovey messages, cakes and cupcakes. Honestly, I'm so surprised that this is here and so many are wishing me the best. I even had a neighbor sing happy birthday to me this morning. :) The last few days (since the first) have been pretty rough. My father's...

    Adult Supervision Required

    #1 rule of cooking...NEVER walk away from the kitchen when cooking. Especially on the stove top. Having found this out the hard way during the early years of my marriage (too many incidents to list), it's something I always remember. Maybe that's one of the reasons I like making casseroles...

    Does Anyone Know?

    Hey Terri, When dealing with my traumas in therapy, I found myself shaking uncontrollably. It was very disconcerting. I just couldn't stop it no matter how I tried. My therapist said that the energy from the emotions had been, basically, 'put away' and now that I'm dealing with the event(s)...

    Oh Shit - Regretting Sending That Letter To My Therapist Now

    At one point I couldn't speak about a certain subject and was trying to talk around it to make my therapist understand. He wasn't getting what I was trying to say. So I wrote him a letter explaining what I meant. I, too, regretted sending it. I was thinking he'd think I was even crazier than...

    Physical Pain

    When my symptoms were at their worst, I was always cold. For about two years I didn't wear skirts because my legs would get cold in my office and then it would make my body ache all over. And I only wore flats for the same reasons. When my anxiety is high, I still find that I get cold and...
