    PTSD and Cats!

    Sometimes my two dogs are the only reason for getting out of bed in the morning. Unconditional love... tons of patience... non-judgement.... loyalty. Can't find that combination in people very often. m1

    m1's Mental Imagery

    This is an imaginery journey down a road. Take in the sights, sounds and colours, just like a video camera recording all that lies surrounding you. Survey the scene, noticing whatis far off in the distance, the background surrounds, the weather, the season and a total image of what you view...

    That's a good one. I'd like to add that there are some of us who grieve the fact there never was an "old us". This is all we have ever been/known. m1

    It would sound crazy if I posted this anywhere else but here... actually it still sounds crazy. I left the house today for the first time in over 5 days. The dog had run out of dog food. There was naught getting around it. Honestly, for a crazy moment, I actually was looking in the...

    New To PTSD Effects - And Uncertain if I Should Tell My Dr. All Issues

    nor, do you know why you can't cry? I hope you don't mind me asking. I am the same way, but I know why I can't/don't cry.... it started out as a very deliberate thing on my part that now I cant seem to "deprogram". Do you know why you dont cry? m1

    I've been pondering all day what to post as an intro... don't want to discourage anyone so I have to word this properly. My name is m1. I was diagnosed with PTSD when I was 14. My father immediately made me discontinue seeing the psychiatrist at that point... cause... you know... Dad didn't...
