Old Memories Cropping Up

[anthony]

Batgirl, you have the right approach now. When your here on this forum, you are constantly being triggered, and even for myself, it has an impact at times if I spend too much time on here, instead of breaking things up with other activities or interests. You could think of this forum like a working week. You go to work for 5 days, then you have the weekend to unwind and relax. The forum is the same. If you spend time on here during the weekends, then you take two days off during the week, where you have no forum time.

Exactly as you found, it actually gives your mind time to process information, relax and just take the edge off. It allows your mind to analyse what has gone in, instead of constantly being bombarded with information. It is a sure fire way for you to recover well... just like work, just like alcohol, this forum should have two forum free days. I do.

Thanks Joanna and anthony. Yes I'm discovering I really need breaks. It's really nice to know the forum is here though when I want it.

Hi Batgirl

I glad you feel a bit better ,,, If you've read some of my last couple of Post and responces from Anthony you may be a little nervess ,,
But it is alright to be that way ,,, You see I to surpressed a lot of menory's ,, In fact I drank all my feeling away for many years ,, then with no help from the med community I got sober ,, Which ment I was dealing with my PTSD at the same time ,, Plus AIDs and Hep-C dyignosis ,, it was excrusheating but the best thing I ever did ,, I was an Air Bonre Ranger in the army ,, and some people say thats tuff well that was a cake walk compared to fixing my head ,,, But I say again I say It was the best thing I ever did I have had 15 years bring up my daughter Robin , who is now 21 and as well rounded as any young lady can be ,, this site may make your jurney a lot quicker than mine was but I can not say less painful ,,
I can only tell you what I went thru ofcorse but ,, I will always speek the truth ,, I do hope this day is a better one for you Batgirl
hope we can be buddies

Why would I be nervous? What did you say? Where are these posts lol? I probably haven't looked at that thread, because I'm not sure what you're talking about.

Thanks though. I was feeling better for a while, I'm kind of out of it again now, ever since I talked to my uncle and aunt. I really shouldn't be on here, should be doing something else, but we have a huge snowstorm, started late this morning, and as a result I'm stuck inside. It will likely last about 24-36 hours. It's funny, I'm not a very sociable person, but I DO like going outside several times a day, even when it's cold, so the storm is making me a bit restless.

I was an Air Bonre Ranger in the army ,,

Is that similar to the Canadian Rangers? They mostly patrol the Arctic and far north areas. One of my uncles did that for a while.

Thanks for the kind words Beatle and glad to hear your daughter is doing so well.

hello Batgirl
how did you weather th snow storm ,, I still like to go out in the storms ,, Just better dressed now ,, The stomrs in my head get right to blizard strengh somtimes ,, I might be finding how to stay ahead of the bild up ,, I thing I got a snow blower in my heads tool pile ,, { people to talk to } :brrr: hope you are warm By now :hello:

Wow funny you should ask about the storm, Beatle, you must be psychic haha. We didn't have power for almost 24 hours!! No power = no heat. And it's -30. Luckily I have a fireplace so we had it going constantly and slept in front of it. The power is back on now thank god.

You like going out in storms? Make sure you tie a rope to the house though, and the other end to you, so you can find your way back lol. At least, with the storm we had, visibility was pretty much zero, and it's dangerous to go out walking... you can get lost and then freeze to death. I know what you mean, I love thunderstorms myself, including being out in them.

You are lucky to have a snowblower. The physical work is a lot less for sure!

Anyways nice to hear from you again. :)

We bought a snowblower this past summer (got a really good deal on it) and now I know there's no way in hell it'll snow this winter....:brrr:

Hello Bat Girl
I had a ruff day yesturday with the memories ,, but I
finally found my way out of myself ,, what a releaf,,
I was out in the middle of the blizzards of 1978 that hit New England , but I was in my own hood so was never worried of getting lost ,, Yes I love the storms , or most things that are exciting ,
an Airborne Ranger is not like the canadian ranger , but I would love to have done that kind of thing ,,, always love the outdoors , grew up in the woods ,, But a Ranger is a speicle unit like Navy Seals or Green Beraih,,
I use to teach survival classes in the Army and even learned as a kid the dangers of nature ,,
Do you have power back yet ,, and are you still staying warm ,,
I wish you a nice day ,, :thumbs-up
Ps The snowblower was a meddifore
By for now

Oh lol are you meaning a forest ranger? That's not what I mean. The ranger that my uncle was is a part of the army or navy, not sure which, and they patrol the Arctic Circle. So it sounds kind of similar to your rangers actually.

Do you have power back yet ,, and are you still staying warm ,,
I wish you a nice day ,, :thumbs-up

Yeah we've had power back for a while now, but I haven't been online much. Hope you are doing well. :)
