Why Does This Forum Make Me Panic?

[anthony]

I even hid my own mouse from myself so I couldnt check the forum. Hid it myself!!! Its not like I didn't know where it was..WTF.

I have to say that was the funniest thing I have read today... thanks. I do stupid shit like that at times... I think we all do actually, which makes me laugh at myself often.

I laughed too!! .....I read it and thought 'I can't even do that - Im on a laptop... let's all kill the man who invented touchpads cause I'm really screwed'..

Hiding the mouse is a good idea, but I can't get rid of my Droid :wink:. I impressed the kids with my new on-line savvy, but they don't understand that is it my "forum fix".

On a serious note, the Forum can help but it does aggravate symptoms. When I am feeling triggered, I just focus on the articles and the lighter posts like "Chit Chat". Also, responding in a helpful manner to others makes me less self-focused and reduces the "trigger effect".

Hope this helps.

I really am intelligent except for when the PTSD Monster comes to visit.

Cynthia, Hear you loud and clear! And, likewise.

but I have felt so connected and not alone that I didnt want to miss coming here for a day.

I understand.

I'm glad this post was here to read. I was away for a long time, and freaked at that thought of coming back. I've been feeling great lately, but just logging in here brought my stress level up.
