News News Article - Abused Children May Get Different Form Of Ptsd

[Springer80]

But that is why I like the ideas put forth in Post Traumatic Growth. Trying to go back can only lead to frustration. I know you objected to PTG somewhere, sometime on this forum, but I NEED to know there is another option than either ssss-ssuffering or medicating myself up to my ears. I literally want to break some of this - burst out of it if you will.

I objected to people picking up on PTG and using it to try and hassle and tarry sufferers into 'getting over it'. I was also worried that seen as the causes and affects of ptsd have not been fully explored scientifically, as the paper nicely demonstrates, nor applied to general medical practice and most importantly not promulgated into the wider perception of society so as to break down the barrier between mental and physical health, that jumping up and down about PTG before PTSD is allowed for only entreches sufferers and society negative image of people with the condition...


OOOO Pencil, I think you moved me to a reasonably cogent paragraph on a serious topic :rolleyes: :eek:. Pass the biscuits, my blood sugars gone funny!

However, I think there is life after PTSD, I think there is PTG and I think there is a time when sufferers can be free from therapy and drugs.

nd using it to try and hassle and tarry sufferers into 'getting over it'

I agree with that fully, and have also picked up the tone and attitude of 'I spent 10 years in therapy getting to this point, so why don't you get over your crap and join me here, NOW.'

And LOVE the rest of it :)

I didn't say that I made them wear clothes. :) We simply do the language. My kids are free range little hellions.

I'm glad they're little hellions RKofME...:giggle:

...and I love J. Austens language, never did you here a more refined, composed and articulate way of pointing out someones folly without them even realizing! I call my mothers second husband Mr Collins but he's SO Mr Collins he takes it as a flipping compliment! :mad:

PS....If you do have any White Trash Regency clothes let me or Vivienne Westwood know, cos I'm game for a dress up! :giggle:

Love it!! :roflmao:

Love this too :D

 

[Springer80]

Love it!! :roflmao:

Trust me it took me a long time to find it funny! How do you compete with someone who enjoys the fact, the they're a smug, ridiculously petty, puerile, oblivious moron, who drives everyone crazy with their own self regard.

Now I definitely need a biscuit. To be fair though he does have some good qualities and I've mellowed, or at least my fuse isn't as short even if my opinion is essentially the same.

I wear a lot of dresses that are somewhat Regency in cut (I'm fairly modest in dress) but I wear them in layers of weird contrasting colors. And I buy a lot of them in head shops. (Err, the hippy stores where they have too much patchouli and they sell "water pipes" along with clothes.) I feel like I am already there. <3

Sounds Wicked!!! Rock out :)

Springer and RKofMe: I look at your posts and see it as evidence of the theory set out in the article

:roflmao:

Erm, okay. I apologize.

:roflmao:

 

[Springer80]

And I'm not on meds because meds make me a person I don't like. I will never be normal. I have to just be ok already. Thus the user name and associated obsession. :)

Good for you RKofME, that's great, it really is! :smug: :hug:

WHAT!!!! We know we're special :p What do you mean though, really....evidence that we're a breed apart?

 

[rightkindofme]

Special f*cking snowflakes these ones is. :D

Different, I would think.

And I HONESTLY think the superhuman label is NOT ridiculous. Hell, to go through what we went through and still joke about it ....

Hollywood has messed up the concepts of Ubermensch and Nietzsche's superman. But still, I want a cape, and RKofMe's clothing kind of goes in that direction. If I can't have 'normal', what are the alternatives?

Are we off topic?
