Wow. You have an awesome therapist. This list only sounds easy.It's extraordinarily tough, please do not think my answers would be ego-laden. They're tough to write in point of fact. Very Important: The well-being of others, my children, husband and mother foremost, anything breathing. Empathy...

What an inspiring thread, just wanted to say Thank You. I had the SSRI conversation with a friend recently, I remembered when they first appeared were intended as short-term medications which ( they said ) merely caused your system to produce the correct amount of seratonin. These powerful...

Dad's favorite joke when we were kids, works with 40 year old kids too. " Do you know how many people are dead over there in that big old cemetery? " ( pointing to one as we drove by ) " NO, Dad, how many ?" ( Being impressed he had that kind of information at his fingertips ) " All of them...

I haven't been here for a few days, just SO busy plus I'm tired of my head. I see this last from you is from a few weeks ago, hope all is well and you're just, plain busy with that lovely family. If you've had oral surgery by now, iew for you, NOT fun, I know, I hope your family fed you decadent...

I couldn't tell if you were just wishing to hear from supporters, though perhaps another PTSD schmeared person might be helpful. I'm not personally crazy about the whole 'sufferer' thing, and yes, it's a personal thing based on what that does to MY head. It makes me whiney. The Happy Ending...

Scaredoflonely, I think they do? There's a segment who I THINK kind of lives and dies with that whole 'defriended' thing. Hee. My niece defriended my husband and I, which I guess was supposed to bother us except we didn't actually notice it for a few months. I did in fact defriend my sister, but...

Oh dear. My Civil War nerd is showing. You folks who live there are probably awfully tired of the whole thing, but I hear ' Richmond ' and ' Leesburg ' and I'm 150 years back, sieging Vicksburg with my grgrgrandfather. Sorry. :)

Yes, I know a LOT of people enjoy it a TON. I genuinely think I probably would also, given a different set of circumstances, you know? I DO have an awful lot of people it's lovely to 'see' again after so long and of course seeing what the kids are up to daily is a blast. Like everything else...

Yes, and who knows, I might throw in the towel and re-join. It's been SUCH a positive experience for me that I detest seeing it end, to be honest. There are a bazillion reasons for this, one of them being that it's a wonderful way to be PART of something, a cohesive group of people. I'm a...

I don't think I can say Facebook has caused flashbacks, but I avoid it ( again ), for once a healthy avoidance. People in general just plain old play tons of games there, in all the 'good' which is admittedly there. With PTSD, no one needs any help feeling awful about themselves. If someone is...

I've missed filling in for 2 days. I quite seriously get extremely confused if something shakes my balance, and just can't get my head together to write. I've been at this awhile, it appears to be one of those things which will remain broken and there's nothing you can do about it. I've talked...

Oh, ps, once again will be out of time to participate inside the PM portion of the challenge, I'm sorry! I realize it's all part of it and I'm truly not being lazy, just am out of time once again, please excuse? I also wasn't able to get back here yesterday afternoon, will give it a shot today...

Well it took that. NO idea what the H*LL happened there. Yes, I had the window open for quite awhile, but was up and down doing things, etc. so the post just took awhile to write. I did the excercize with meditation, was REALLY stuck lately getting into meditating so used ' Om Mani Padme Hum'...

Well, I just lost over an hour's worth of post, hit ' Post Reply' and it said ' You must be logged in to do that '. THEN, it would take my password so I had to come allll the way out and come allll the way back from scratch. I think I'll say " I did everything just fine for yesterday ", see how...

That IS a very, very cool story, Whitney. I think possibly I'm sporadically a ton more balanced in focusing on the MOMENT, also, but still realize am not 'there', to be sure, Good Grief. You seem to be much closer, very interesting ( plus nice, made me smile ) and hopeful. I can kind of see...

Well, maybe it could be time for you to count the fact that you pulled this challenge together for everyone here and have been the 'moderator' for us? If you haven't Alba, I'd say it's a genuine one, for real. Eleanor thank you, and chalk up your act of kindness, thank you! I should confess to...

Whoever the stupid, friggin 'Theys' turn out to be this time, the thing is, no one is going to remember what their ridiculous, doubtless incomprehensible agenda might be, if we even understand it to begin with. They say don't ever negotiate with these pigs, we can't give in, and of course not...

I'm not in great shape. It took a little while to track down everyone up there. My eldest son works 2 blocks away, it's exactly the kind of thing he'd do, tool over to the finish line there. I got ahold off his brother first, while I was falling apart and remembering that PTSD can make you throw...

It doesn't seem to be hugely different, although I see a little difficulty if someone has to fit subject matter in thread titles across the board? It's not a complaint, I'm just pointing out that you guys could end up with some awfully long thread titles depending on what a member might be...

Grateful to be wildly intrigued by flat History on all levels, American History mostly but like hearing about an awful lot of history elsewhere. It's like living in a multi-dimensional world, knowing how many layers you're walking on top of then contributing to, like we're one massive, deciduous...

I tried to write a post last night and just could NOT. I do sometimes have to bow to the PTSD, and how much stress does affect me. My neurological system tends to say ' You know what? Nope. Not playing any more, there's not a synapse firing at this time of day, you should know better '. My...

OH! Thank you Alba! We just crossed posts. I seriously AM very, very grateful that our big, swaggering cat Chancey is finally tolerating Dad's cat Bella. They're not exactly buddies but they'll swap nose-sniffs and move on now instead of pitching instant battles on sight, as of just this week.

No no no, I meant RANDOMLY pitching them into ponds! :D Still no, huh? Yesterday did my excercizing, but had to do it in 2 parts due to time limitations so it felt not-great. It always makes me feel like I'm just all kinds of scattered or something, when I can't make a routine out of this...

Hi Gizmo, I made time to come here to the forum on purpose because all h*ll is breaking loose in my neck of the woods. I sometimes laugh with another member here, how we come here to find normal people, to a mental health forum because everyone out here is crazy. You're not just normal, you're...

ps and I'd like to second the Yay Junebug thing!!!
