Chat, check-in, and hang out

Hi all,

How are you all doing? Its been a while since I’ve come back to the forum. I really miss old chatroom where people could chat with each other. That was a great and helpful place.

Take care and I hope we have the chat feature one again.

Regards,
J
 
My day was okay but can’t drop the feeling I feel I’ve lost an important part of myself since my burnout crash 7 years ago. Empathy and the momentary feeling of being surrounded by safe energy, cognitive quickness, all of this feels gone, lost and I really miss the inner compass when it comes to art, music.
 
Hello lovely My PTSD friends. For those if any who remember me. 👋 I have been trying to check in a little and see how people are doing. I found some sad sad news. :( I have also seen some are doing better which is wonderful.

I am energy and functional time stretched but doing a lot better than when I was last here. I did a little crumble when I left. Unfortunately, am dealing with a new trauma that has knocked stuff up. Also, a little smorgasbord of interesting health stuff. I'm sure a lot will relate.

Lucky enough to access good therapy for the first time. Shock. Also, all the past years and years and years of hard work on dissociation and emotions and regulation have made all the difference.

But, hello and may tomorrow be a more peaceful day for you.☀️

I can relate to a lot of the hard stuff. Glad for the good stuff and I hope I can say the same in a few months.
Welcome back and may your day is peaceful too!
I'm terrible in connection lately so I'm here trying to do better.
 
Hope its ok to post this here. Pre op chest X-ray showed Bockdalek hernia left side of heart. I googled and it said only 100 documented cases in adults. Usually congenital and repaired in babies. Drs was closed so called nurse PA that did pre op and gave me number. She checked with anesthiasologist and they said I have had it all my life without symptoms (breathing issues/gastro). She called it a hole in my heart. I really think I have this from too many losses. If being angry can cause a heart attack, why cant loss cause a hole?
 
heart. I really think I have this from too many losses. If being angry can cause a heart attack, why cant loss cause a hole?
Because that’s not how shit works? Physiologically. Or it would be faaaaawking common, instead of rare as hell.

It’s also not a hole in your heart, but in your diaphragm, allowing your guts to move upward, compressing your heart.

You don’t have a hole in your heart (which IS common, most pregnant women have them, as foramens open up, as do most closed holes/sutures as part of the pregnancy process). You have a hole in your diaphragm. Impacting your heart. Not a hole in your heart. All poetry aside.

It may be why you have been feeling so lousy @mamachick ! Eiy. 😟 One might wonder if that's why now it might be bothering you so much? I will pull for you!! 🫂🫂

Great to 'see' you are ok @Abstract , and @J_trustno1 . (Not sure if you remember me but I do- Junebug). best wishes to you!

Tinyflame! It's so good to know it's you. And of course I remember. How could I not! Thank you for remembering me. I hope you are doing OK. In some ways I am an entirely different person. Life steps on us, tries to crush us and it sometimes forces us to grow. If it doesn't do us in. ;) The biggest change for me is I can ask for help without becoming self destructive or so obscure no one can understand me. 🙄 I've been trying to catch up with all of you lovely ones. Very sad about Ladee, and Lion and Intothelight. 😪
