I don't know if this is the right forum to post this in, but seemed right to me. I met up with an old friend yesterday. We were best friends in elementary school, from 1st grade until I moved away in middle school. We had not seen each other in 22 years! First of all, it was super uncomfortable...

Anything by the Grateful Dead. Lately I can't stop listening to Playing in the Band. I lovelovelove the dead.... they're like a religion for me.

One time I ate 2 tablespoons of cannabutter drizzled over spicy cheezits. It tasted great... and I was high for almost 2 days. Worst mistake of my life!!

I really think it depends on the strain and how it is ingested. Smoking is not good for me. I make edibles that are very low dose and that is much better, its a calmer high that I can barely feel, and soothes my brain like a tiny xanax. I wouldn't recommend trying this though, because if it...

1. I ticked two things off my to-do list - dinner started and tie-dye finished 2. I would like to find a way to sell my art 3. I want to get a Grateful Dead tattoo 4. Why do carbs make me fat 5. Who cares, I need oreos

Mine has been a lifetime of trauma. It started in childhood with emotional and verbal abuse that was ongoing and constant. I started having symptoms during this time, if that is possible, and they were fullblown when I was in my early 20s. Then I lost a child to stillbirth, suffered multiple...

I hear you!!! I was diagnosed with PTSD but the profile of CPTSD fits much better. I hope it becomes more recognized in the US, because I do believe that although many symptoms overlap, there is a big difference between the two. I don't think one is any better or worse than the other, but I...

My trauma was ongoing verbal abuse and horrifying emotional abuse that lasted into adulthood because I figured it was normal. I wasn't diagnosed until five years ago (2011) but I believe I was displaying behaviors in the mid 90s, while the abuse was ongoing. My mom was my primary abuser, and...

Thank you all so much for the warm welcome! I look forward to getting to know everyone and sharing coping strategies. I am not too easily triggered these days but I will try hard to make sure I don't trigger anyone else.

I don't know anyone IRL with PTSD. (I probably do, but not well enough to disclose) so I don't know if this is common. I have a CONSTANT embarrassment/self conscious thing going on. Like, fricken constantly. Even my nightmares revolve around this. It is hard to function in a world where...

I do not have advice, but I can absolutely commiserate. I don't understand how people can hurt others the way they have done to us. You are not crazy. You are amazing. I don't even know you and I can tell by your words that you are a warm, kind, beautiful person. The words your mother uses are...

Hi everyone! My name is Rose and I am 34 years old. I have PTSD stemming from a lifetime of trauma, most in my childhood, the rest created by some poor life choices. I don't blame myself, because I know those choices were a result of undiagnosed PTSD. I currently take one medication, an...
