@twodogcircus, love your name and the pic!
Thanks for writing, I haven't been on for awhile and just saw this:), been camping to deal with PTSD. Helps me to continue processing and working on my cope ahead plan. I can so relate to what u said about when your dog died, beyond sucks when they...
I tried different meds for 20 years, lamitical worked so well for the symptoms you described, felt like when stress came it just came and I could process it, instead of it taking on a life of its own. Not on anything now, it really made it so I could learn coping skills. If I need to go back on...
This whole situation with emotional support dogs, service animals, thearpy dogs is beyond confusing! I have been reading it mostly everyone ends up arguing about it. From what i am reading emotional support animals are exempt from the no pet housing rules, if you have a disability, that is the...
I'll share what I do....
One thing I learned awhile back is living by my values instead of my emotions. So when I log on a forum, or go be with a group, or whatever, I know what my values are. For me, to further my recovery and knowledge, try to do no harm to others, help others if I can, be...
Yes I go through what you are describing, isolation, parinoid, withdrawal is what caught my eye! In reading posts on here, it seems a lot of people do, just last night I cried for how many of us feel this way. I am 51 and been dealing with these feelings for so long, I have a lot of ways I...
I am not an expert by any means, so don't base any decisions on this info! but I don't know of any case where you would tell an employer, in fact when I have tried to tell employers or housing people they say it is none of their business! If you don't get the answer you need about work and...
Welcome:) u will find tons of info here, it has helped me to become more clear with what is going on with me, reading posts has really helped. I write everything down and sadly family knows i dont remember stuff and they are compassionate about it. Good luck to u!
Yay I can post to my hearts content all these pics of Thea and travel! Doing this now because of the wisdom I got from people on this site about grieving your emotional support animal. My mom had a long slow death from melonimia and the only good thing about that was I learned the power of...
So precious, so quiet don't even know where he is
That's funny you would bring up the fostering animals (we do have a lot in common) I have been reading about all sorts of stuff to do with dogs and I just read about the fostering thing. That does sound like a win/win. You must be good with the...
When I looked at the help tickets on the bottom of them it had an upload file button that went to my pics on iPad, not sure why I can't find it here.:wtf:
Need to learn how to post pictures, wondering if they have to go in the media file or if you can just post them on your diary, didn't mean to post those last two.
Image by Bliss posted Feb 3, 2017 at 6:28 PMThea is teaching me so much as always. I am reviewing what I I know about dying and grieving, reading other people's thoughts on it, more aware so I am starting to see it all around, which of course it is, I just ignored it. There are many resources...
Glad u stopped in! So right on the cigs I am at 100 days without, did you ever smoke? Doing Tai chi and low carb since I quit. Is that you in the avatar? Very cool . Yes dogs can get expensive in old age or if anything goes wrong, this is my first dog so I am learning. Wishing you the best :)
Hey! Hehe I think posting difficult things like this is something to be proud of, it is not easy, I post stuff and then question myself, but if it is moving us along, good for us I think attempting to create a paper trial is one really valid reason to continue investigating your options legally...
Oh my gosh by the time you read this it will be day two or so I can only imagine, I don't know what to say other than we are here, I know people here would do anything to help ease the pain, I started a thread a month or so ago titled "what do you do when your pet dies" people here get it, we...
Apology, I am learning this forum stuff I have good intentions, but I did not see the title "has anyone taken there abuser to court" I just read the post, sorry! Better to hear from those that have.
These are just my thoughts on this stuff, I certainly am no expert! I really liked your flower...
I asked the above, thinking the same thing your second post said, if they haven't been through it, I personally take it with a grain of salt, been through the physical mental sexual myself, went to a shelter for a month leaving him, then worked there for ten years. I'll be back on later tonight:).
This is cool I typed the following before I saw your second post
Hi:) I don't know if your country is the same or not, so my knowledge and expereince may not apply. Who is suggesting you do the court thing? Are they people that understand the current court climate, like shelter workers or...
So cute, shared custody! What kind is yours or what does it look and act like? Going to see if I can post a pic
I am learning forum skills, so I cut and pasted this post from earlier to make sure u saw it, it was a ways back:)
SophiaWisdom,
Great name you have too:)
So glad you said...
