Another one for "The Others .... ?"

We know who they are.

They're the ones in our lives who may not be able to even SPELL PTSD ;-)

I'm kidding, but ... I happened to find, and happened to like ... this:

My dog ... Sammy ... has been visiting for a few weeks.

Sammy gets it.

Not many people do, do they ?? Not enough, anyway.

May we all find somebody -- human, animal, or imaginary -- who gets it, though :-)

I think Sammy could use a few pointers from Finis, but ... until then ... he's a very sweet dog, and -- yeah -- his presence is most welcome (although Fleegle IS locked in the closet).

He has his own anxiety stuff, but ... ya' know ? We're both working on it :-)

I bet we DS-PTSD folk could score a heck of a group rate on Sacks of Bricks !

Glad you have Sammy:-)

And thanks for this. My hubby will be getting that link. It's what my therapist has told him to do, but I think he'll like the graphics.

Wow, that link you shared led to one of the best PTSD sites I've seen in months, and I'm always looking, David. That was a keeper! I'll put it to good use, believe you me.

Pets to Sammy.

My dogs always get it. I am never happy without them.

As for "the Others". Let it be, let it be.

Nice! I am keeping this one.

Very informative and an easy read....without all the medical mumbo jumbo, that is difficult to understand.

This would've been so helpful to me, and particularly my kids, back when I would have a massive trigger...meltdown...flashback.

Besides, no matter the age, who doesnt love blanket forts!

Thanks for sharing David.

    I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying.  I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there.  I think that I will start writing in it again.  It's so therapeutic.

    First, I hope everyone is doing well, and continuing to fight that good fight! Keep up the great work on yourselves; I'm rooting for all of you!So, I started doing therapy at the beginning of the year, when I was in my most depressed state, but with my therapist, I made big changes and steps in the right direction. But, over a month ago, she couldn't take my insurance anymore, and I had to stop...
