Why did you pick your screen name?

Mine stands for the department I work in, the radio call number for said department and the year I started. You?

I found out in therapy the amount of courage I had as a child in order not to decompose under the extreme violence I grew up. I liked your post and often wonder how people choose titles for their trauma diary is quite interesting if not often powerful statements.

Screen name, literal meaning of the word, & a need to get walking, then.

Diary, Latin slash comic references. Im on Latin when way too serious in my head, and comics when real life makes me feel extra alien for the location & disconnect.

 

[Deanna]

I like the name Deanna. It's a name in the Diana category. It means devine. I think of Princess Diana when i think of the word- Diana , Deanna, Dena, Diane. The name has nothing to do with PTSD. And I LOVE my fur baby! ? long! She's a rescue.

We started using screen names and passwords back in the nineties. Originally I used Mach5 from the speed racer cartoons.

After my daughter "graduated" to heaven, during the grieving process, I started collecting angel figurines. Specifically, Dreamsicles, cherub angels made of cement. I started realizing just how amazing it was to have been the mother of my special needs child.
My own earthly angel?

I just like it, honestly. I think it's a cute name to go by. It's a Black Sabbath song that I like, too, which is where I got the idea.

Also lol weed

 

[Lionheart]

I've been told that I am brave and have a big heart so that is the Lion/heart part. The number 777 someone once told me was the number of God. and I like to be reminded that I was hard-wired by the creator to survive. It represents my faith and my higher power. It also represents the kind of person I strive to be: brave, noble, and loving.

(((?))) I will SHOUT OUT to the world that you ARE BRAVE, COURAGEOUS AND NOBLE!!! Those are exactly the word I would use to describe you!?? (Just sayin'...)

 

[Muttly]

I wanted a positive name. And if you know me, you know I love and care for dogs. And I like mutts. I like the idea that dogs that aren't special (in a sense) tend to be the healthiest and strongest survivors.

 

[Sideways]

I had an awesome screen name which I totally identified with. It was also my FB name. Felt like me.

Then I went and reported my trauma junk to the police. And needed to move sideways with my identity here to get a bit more cyber distance between my police report and my trauma diary:shifty:

And then, of course, FB shut down my account and refused to reopen it unless I gave them my real name (bastards):sour:

Still moving sideways. Not forwards, not backwards. But at least I’m going somewhere dammit.
