About Me
I walk on eggshells every day of my life, in fear that one will break and the ride from hell will start! I hate talking to people who do not understand what ptsd is, but really enjoy talking to people that can relate. Makes me feel less of an odd ball, and beeing looked at with judgeing eyes. I found that my biggest support is my music, and my art work....

One of the best things in life to me is a twister. They are unpredictable, distructive, loud, terrifing, and one of the most beutiful, graceful, and gentile beasts you will ever set eyes on. This is my thought patern every day of my life... Only my ( brainadoe ) as I call it, , never stops...

13, I was worried that I had focussed perhaps too much on my own stuff in my post, as I was deperate and in the midst of the aftermath of unbelievable triggers and on the verge of flashbacks (which I prevented, fortunately). I was pleased to see this morning that...despite my state of mind...I was indeed very thoughtful and mindfull of your stuff, too. I could not live in NY due to the triggering there (for me). I believe the key (for PTSD) is in channeling the threat and physiological responses. Not mere distraction, but channeling. I found it somewhat helpful to dabble a bit in the more academic studies of PTSD to better understand what is happening and how best to respond (without medicating). How you respond may vary based on the other diagnosis you have. I don't have bi-polar or the other condition you mentioned. It is NOT common with PTSD, BTW. Mood is not unaffected of course with PTSD...there is usually a direct link to triggers, however. I do not write on the public board so much anymore (because of increases in triggering there, too), and am infrequent in my participation in this group anymore.
Best wishes to you. Keep reaching out. Keep asking questions. Keep researching. Keep trying to find what works best for you.
