    Ok My 2 Cents - Too Fall In Order To Rise

    My biggest successes didn't start out that way. I had to fall flat on my face to pick myself up. Got relieved of duty (the movie version is taking your gun and badge, which they did but I've got extras of both....) for going off on a LT. and threatening to kick his butt. The Lt. I couldn't stand...

    Almost Forgot - Word Substitution

    One of the reasons I logged on. An american comic (George Carlin) one time proposed that we substitute the word KILL with the word F**K. Try it it's funny. On a more serious note substitute KILL with LOVE. Substitue dangerous weapons with squirt guns. If it were that easy.

    Daaannnngggg

    I'm gone for a couple of days and you guys have a shootout. I have to laugh though. With all this hoopla nobody thought about the fact that anger is a BIG part of PTSD. LMAO (in a good way). My dad always taught me never to discuss religion or politics in mixed company. Lets all just have a good...

    Stupid Question ? Why Do Some Get PTSD, And Others Not?

    I know this may sound stupid and the answer is prolly obvious but here goes. Why is it that I have gotten PTSD from some incidents and there were other cops or EMTs there but some of them don't seem to be effected by them as I am. I'm sure it's got to bother them but they don't show it or they...

    Beta Blocker For Anxiety - Inderal

    Doc gave me Inderal (used for high blood pressure) about a month ago. I thought it wasn't doing any good. He uped the dose to 40mg and the anxiety level dropped about half way. It was almost like taking a valium without the drowsey. You might wan't to check into it. :wink:

    Had a Bad Week - Old Police Partner Killed

    Did pretty good last week but Friday I found out that an old (police) partner was killed in a car accident after work. She was a good friend.

    Question: Female Only Topics

    I concerned that being male if I comment on a female's post about a rape if it would make that person feel uncomfortable me being male. Iv'e seen too many victims of rape and I do really care but I don't want to make things worse.

    What The Doc Said - Forum Acknowledged As Learning Mechanism

    Went to the Psychologist today. During the conversation I told him that I joined a PTSD forum. I didn't know whether or not to tell him about it B/C I was sure he would put it down. I was WRONG. He said it might even speed my progress up some to see others have similar problems with PTSD. He...

    Really P***** Off - The Stress of Doctors

    I have been to so many doc's the last 2 weeks if I see one more stethoscope I'll puke. The psychiatrist and psycologist say we need to change my psyc meds, again. The neuro doc's (4) can't seem to come to any conclusion on the seizures except they ruled out it's psyc related. Still facing knee...

    Last night I went to the corner store to pick up soft drinks. As I parked in front of the house an SUV turned into the cove pretty fast, put the head lights on bright, drove on the wrong side of the road toward my house.
