I have had cPTSD for decades, and about 13 years ago a psychiatrist in a DD unit tried to tell me I was bipolar in addition to my PTSD, depression, and drug addiction at the time. I have long gotten over the drug addiction, and frankly, had I observed my own behavior in that hospital, I would...

Thanks. My best guess is that the authorities would have become involved, she would convince them I was lying, and then, eventually, when the time was right, she would probably have killed me, but in such a way as to draw suspicion from herself. In the end, I think she would have ended up in...

I didn't. For 40 years. Not a soul, including my long-time husband. Even in the throes of horrific PTSD flashbacks, I still denied it. I cried a lot, careful still, even to this day, not to make a sound. I can't tell you why. I'm not even sure I want to know why. My paternal grandfather...

When that day came for my Izzy-girl, a german shepherd, we both knew. There was never any formal diagnosis, but I'm sure she had cancer. She was also deaf and plagued with ear problems and arthritic. We were both exhausted from her suffering...and mine. She sat patiently for hours while I cried...

I find that smudging helps alleviate some of my anxiety. I moved into this place last summer and over time, I have come to notice various signs of violence throughout the house, so I got out my smudging kit. The main difference is that now (after I began smudging the place regularly) the damaged...

I finally did and I don't - regret it that is! LOL! Actually, if I'm not mistaken, I saw her recently doing carpool karaoke with James Corden. I'm assuming Maddie is the little karate girl? Tell me more. :D

My T gave me a smudging kit a couple of years ago. I am not native american, so I don't pretend to know what I'm talking about, but she taught me how to use it. First I get naked - my personal preference since I use the sage to cleanse my body first. Seems to me I should cleanse my damaged body...

Oh good! I hate it! I'm too broke buying Abilify to shop anymore! :roflmao:

thanks for the warning about the glucose. It's been a month so far and I'm doing well on it. I have this overwhelming urge to shop all the time, tho. what's up with THAT???

Okay, between you and lemurlibs91 my curiosity is now up about Sia...I'm off to youtube...lol!

I bet mine is worse. lol

I am so lucky because I married the one man who has always made me feel safe. My first clue was when my abuser nearly choked to death when she found out I was marrying him. She threw one hell of a tantrum. That was all I needed to know I was doing the right thing. Abuser is scared to death of...

Of all the things we deal with, dreams are some of the worst, I think. I'm sorry he was so cruel to you. No one deserves that and I am happy that you survived it. You're one tough gal. I think we humans often wonder 'what if....' - I had a guy like that. His name is Phillip (same as my dad's, I...

Same here. During one of my disassociative episodes last year, I picked up a large barrel smoker and threw it onto the brushpile nearby. I have NO recollection of doing it, and even asked my husband why the smoker was in the brushpile. I'll nevee forget the look on his face! my usual MO is to...

I know what you mean. I'm guessing that, like me, one of your biggest fears is hurting others. It could be manifesting itself by coming out in your sleep, and at least in my case, the fear carries over into wakefulness and I have to force myself to fully awaken. Do you dissociate during these...

I do that too! A lot!

When you're lost inside your own head and something catches your attention, causing you to get extremely annoyed at shiny squirrels.

Now, the library in Wered World is, well...weird. It is full of ancient tomes which require the utmost care, and if one of the tomes gets annoyed, it can turn itself into a cabbage rendering it utterly useless as a book. It will remain in a vegetative state until whatever is annoying it is...

WW tossed back her flowing red hair and turned her face toward the sun as she lounged on the beach. She was dressed in her favorite purple swim suit and was thoroughly enjoying herself when she heard Ralph rolling up behind her. "M'lady, I hate to disturb you, but we seem to have visitors that...

Hello Everyone! Come and join me on an adventure. Soon I hope to have some worthy (or unworthy, that's okay, too) companions to join me on my quest, but first, there's a castle to explore. Now this is no ordinary castle - from the outside it changes..uummm...architecture. At the moment it is...
