Thank you.

Thank you Junebug and I hope you find peace. I worked in a very intense field for 45 years ( nursing and nurse anesthesia ) and so mostly the reason I enjoy solitude and quiet. It is good for everyone, but in what measure ? Up to the individual I would imagine. When in need of company I have a...

No I used to have those thoughts ( that philosophy was kinda forced on me ) and felt being alone more than with people would be undoable, but not anymore. I still socialize when I want and I do it much calmer now. I embrace being apart. When totally quiet and free of racing thoughts I see, hear...

I believe what has helped me is "Accepting". Accepting many things; That I have the disease and the permanent effects on the brain. Accepting many close people, people you wanted loving relationships with, will go from you. Accepting that life's goals, society defined goals are many times not...

Thank you for the words and support. I know what I need to do, just know the sadness will be a burden for a long time. I have tried so many times to reason and be a part of equality and fairness. But they continue to want to label my lovely wife, their stepmom, and me and they see only their...

No concerns on writing your own concerns, that's all we can base our opinions on. But my family is of no support and have never been. They label, ridicule, name call and state their superiority. My PTSD started when I was 18 ( almost killed, drowned, in the showers at West Point ) and have since...

After reading all you need to, about what PTSD is, and how to treat it, and you still find yourself banging against walls concerning family and friends, is it wrong to close doors on anyone, so you can set boundaries and finally take control of the direction of your life ? Anyone ? And thank you.

Hello. I can feel your pain, confusion and all you left out of your journey. I have no advice, just like to say you are not alone and God Bless in your journey. :tup:

I thank you all. Have been just hanging in there. I have tried therapy five times. First time was after a suicide attempt, didn't take the right medicines and ended up in ER of hospital where I was working. Doctor spent five minutes with me and diagnosed Manic/Depressive. Put me on...

There is so very much more, but that's enough. As I read all the sufferers stories here I am ashamed I even feel the need to express. God Bless to all and may we all find some peace and meaning. The Sun comes up everyday morning and hope is a good thing.

It all started with childhood bullies and family dysfunction. Not going to elaborate, many have been there and experienced those. West Point was 8 days of starvation by an Upper Cadet ( 1970 ) and when I finally told him to shove it and ate, he came that night, with buddies and grabbed me in my...

Where does one start? Parental neglect, family dysfunction, violence, bullying, enuresis, abandonment, 7 schools before HS graduation. Very sick mother ( COPD/cigarettes ) Attacked at West Point Military Academy, labeled by town, no family support, 3 marriages-two divorces-two children in next 3...

Am thinking about and praying for you and your son. It's hard.

@Gunsmith I am new here and you described my thoughts also. I was bullied and abused as a child and teenager, not sexually, but in other mental ways and physically. I acted out. I also got good advice and help. But have always been in conflict trying to live life. My standout trauma events were...
