Words of wisdom to somehow go forward and reevaluate which way to go Wilbur. Thank you for sharing that.

Thank you so much Bell Bird. Through capable counseling, I am hoping the triggers of the past and present can be narrowed and managed.

Thank you Grit for your wise words. That's it in a nutshell to help alleviate ptsd, learn to readjust, gain confidence and be productive.

Thank you Wilbur for suggesting a creative outlet. My current situation and depression is traumatic meaning no interest but it is important to reintegrate.

Currently, my life and ptsd is worse than it's ever been yet I need to have productive goals like getting a job. I'm gripped by ptsd. Any suggestions?

What a profound thing to share. Although I do not have a history of outright psychosis, my current circumstances could lead to it.

Thank you feixapreta for sharing some very important insight how to combine getting better. It comes down to renewed hope. I know very well how paralyzing ptsd can be. Narrowly focused is well said. Tunnel vision is a large part of that. Thank you for sharing.

It is a living nightmare Bell Bird. It would require legal recourse and I don't want that. I've never gone that route before.

Thank you Bell Bird for the uplifting and sage words. Isolation has made me an even more vulnerable target. I live with nightmares, chronic anxiety, feelings of hopelessness but not ideations of suicide. For the first time ever, with no prior history of self-harm, I did attempt to opt out...

I've been through so much trauma the past eight months that it unraveled the progress I made in therapy some time back. I still struggle with isolation, past and more so presently. It was past trauma that caused me to detach several years ago. Recent events from a medical nightmare, the...

I've been through so much devastation the past eight months, it has triggered nightmares from past trauma of childhood abuse, adult dv. Progress I made in counseling a few years ago has completely unraveled. Isolation is a big part of that, past and present. I have full time ptsd and little...

This thread is helpful. My ptsd and sleep problems have increased over the past several months. Thank you for your input.

Your responsible take on narcissism was refreshing. I disdain narcissism and narcissists on many fronts. The trail of damage they cause often has lasting effects. I've been on the receiving end of a couple of sociopaths and in retro, came to realize that socios are narcissists in the worst...

Being in scenery is very therapeutic and grounding. I started a small outdoor group here in the Pacific Northwest and can say it has helped tremendously. Camping and fishing at a lake or in the mountains is relaxing. All of us are respectful of each others space and no one is obligated to...

Would it possibly be beneficial to take a long soak in the tub? Soaking has a relaxing way of letting the mind drift to a peaceful place as well as soothe tension.

Kudos Snowwhite for your courage to come forward. Like most things, just being believed is a relief in itself. Perhaps your effort will inspire others to do the same *hugs*

Welcome Molly. I'm in Washington state yet spent almost 2 years up in Alaska. I love scenery and getting back to basics yet (for myself), being too isolated for an extended amount of time without balancing some change of pace, is isolating in a counter-productive way. It's fishing and camping...

Good morning. You from England? Nice to meet you :)

The Atlantic ocean. You know, across the pond as they say? *lol*

And if that doesn't work, there's always the alternative in the pic *lol and kidding i think* or...*kidding* Humor is a wonderful outlet and much better than drama or trauma-induced cortisol :) Are you on the other side of the pond Spock?

Hi BC and welcome. Color me ignorant but what does PSG stand for? *lol* Kudos on all fronts Angel Keeper :) I'm putting together a small outdoor activities group for those (in this state) that would like to participate. What better healing reprieve than that? :)

Well said Ms Spock :)

I fully understand where you're coming from Bill. Sarcasm was meant as a last resort from futility and frustration. It may not work on them, but it can be a needed release to the person being subjected to drama. Carry on :)

And if that doesn't work, there's always sarcasm as a last resort to drive a point to those that won't leave you alone :) Right on Ms Spock. As we speak, I'm looking at mini pink boxing gloves on the net. I told my clinician the other day that I'm going to purchase several pink mini boxing...
