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.

    Jay's podcasts are really good.  I watch them on YouTube for free.  Today, I watched his video about motivation.  In fact, I've been watching a few videos on this subject.  Jay gave us an assignment to complete the following sentence:  I am stuck because?  I don't describe myself as stuck, but to finish the sentence, I would say that I am stuck because I am tired.  When I have energy, I do...
