School is still pretty tough for me. Still struggling to pay attention in class and falling asleep in class due to exhaustion. I have missed some of my early 8am classes from not being able to wake up. It feels like I am a zombie going through everyday and not really being involved with anything...

@The Albatross School just started and my schedule got thrown off and I've been running out of the house late everyday. It was the last thing on my mind. I've also had lots if non-school stuff come up like taking my cat to the vet and car registration renewal. And problems with tuition refunds...

I've had a busy week and have been behind every day this week with not getting enough sleep. Causing me to be late and when this happened I forgot everyday this week to take my effexor and have been feeling awful yesterday and today. I've been dizzy, queasy, headachey, and very depressed. I...

These are all great points! I was just jaw dropping when I heard about this new trend.

Have you guys heard about this movement? I'm concerned about it and the destruction of what feminists have done for gender equality. Some of these internet memes have been absolutely horribl. They jokingly advocate sexual and domestic violence. Make a mockery of women. I know men have it tough...

I could not fall asleep again last night and it was too late for me to take my ativan if I wanted to get up. Took me a while to get down I tried at 11 but was up until 1230. Then at 3 and 4am I could not sleep and had to be up at 645am. I am now super tired. Class is almost pointless because I...

I'm in the class at college to get a service dog. Today was the first class and last night was my first lab! It was a ton of fun! We had 3 puppies to work with and 2 older dogs! The puppies were fun but took a lot of patience. I was lucky to have puppy play time for the chore!! Learned a great...

Thanks! I appreciate it! Never thought about it like that. :)

Sorry I been away for so long. Had some family issues come up with people in the hospital, school issues, working over time to pay rent, and family fights. Due to this I wasn't able to get my cards out. I feel horrible to everyone here. The big issue was over Christmas for me. My mom some how...

I'msorry to hear that but know you're not alone. Leaving my family for good next fall! It'll help you recover and be you

Congrats!! It is a wonderful feeling!! :D Excited for you and your new discovery!

You said no. And the way my T put it was amazing and wonderful to help me rethink the situation! So with Rape and assault we do not ever prepare for it or know how to prepare for it. We don't think it will happen to us. But let's look at another trauma for instance car wrecks. We have car...

I just finished my CPT about a month ago. Probably had it at the worst possible timing but I made it through and pushed myself. It is very much worth the effort!! And it will be hard since we love to avoid the difficult stuff but let me tell you it is very worth it! It won't be easy but it is...

As someone who suffers I would be concerned. I know that there are times when I need my space to deal with things but I never go completly dark. I feel like that would be really dangerous. In my most private times I have had some of my darkest times and if I had not had people to talk to me or...

I'm sorry Friday! And not I'm not there got counseling from the local vet center and now am a work study there. It is a great place one place I almost feel at home with.

That is awesome Thunderstorm!! I skipped classes today a little bit because I could not handle it. The flashbacks and how I am not proud of my service or to put the uniform on makes it hard to be thanked all day long. I went out in regular clothes without any type of military clothes to eat...

Happy Veterans Day to my fellow vets! Enjoy your day today and remember you are not alone! Enjoy the free meals if you can go out today!

Its not even hesitation. They're just both toxic places and I'd rather be done with them than ever tell the . Not worth the abuse.

So therapy has been great about having me learn to be honest with me and accept/deal with emotions. I have been repressing them since I was probably about six because of my upbringing then the military taught me how to better mask them and/or use alcohol as a cure. In doing so I have...

Finally sent my paperwork in for the service dog! I am meeting with the organization this Friday and will start the process to obtain a dog!!!! Super excited!! :)

Thank you! Those are some great tips! I set a time limit of two years because I want tobe done with college and my military career first. I have some professors I am working with that have been speakers. Right now I'm looking into getting my story in line. I figured that I would start out at the...

Looks like we do have a toastmasters on campus!! Yeah this is something I'd like to start in about 2 years! I love people and I love encouraging them! I have had so many people help me each day and want to show my thanks by helping others!! The list below is just some of the things I have dealt...

I am sorry to hear this! I am sending positive energy your way and prayers! Know that we are here for you! Remember to breathe!

After presenting my leadership interview with my fellow classmates went extremely well, I have decided that I would love to become a motivational speaker. Being in front of people makes me extremely nervous. But I also love teaching people new things and helping others. I feel like I have been...

Wanted to throw out a huge thanks to all that messaged me!!The presentation went really well. I think my peers really learned something and enjoyed it. I was able to open their minds about PTSD and why it can be challenging as a leader. They even asked me many questions afterwards. It was really...
