I was interviewed for a radio show

The show aired today. Here's a podcast version:

If you're interested, you can learn how I got MY diagnosis of Complex PTSD.

It's nearly an hour.

Wishing you all -- as always -- peace, health, and strength.

Yeah, it is wonderful! I'll listen to it later, too, when I get over this flu.

Methinks I'm going to have to cancel my radio interview this coming Tuesday because of this flu.

Cab't wait to hear you!

Heard the show. Wow, what a nightmare. Yet you represented yourself VERY well, my friend. Impressive way to give voice to all you've been through. I'm very proud.

Nice to hear your voice :)

This is very good. I especially like the tribalism and community portion of the conversation, I have often thought this way. The dynamic is incredible and yes villagers and isolation. It speaks volumes in regards to human social interaction and society.

I was not impressed with her, but I absolutely liked what you had to say.. very much. Thanks again for sharing.

I can't wait to hear it! I'm going on right now.

Muji- I hope you are well enough to do it on Tuesday. You don't have to feel well; just well enough... Sleep all day today- you may be surprised how you feel tomorrow...

Hugs both!

Thanks, Deli. I emailed the radio show host and canceled for Tuesday, though. My flu has started a secondary infection, a barking cough, such that I couldn't get through an interview without an on air coughing attack. Oh, well.

Back to DavidRock's interview, though, it was great. That tribalism thing is something I've seen other places, too. It's kind of what allows good people to surrender to mob rule. Very insightful.

Hey, that radio talk show host proposed I do the interview tomorrow by phone, like you did yours here, David.

Thumbs up, Dabid. Speaking as someone stuck living with an HOA, I can definitely identify with the ideas of tribalism and, as Mui remarked, how they lead to mobe rule. Good stuf. Thanks for sharing:-)

Waiting for the radio show's call to interview me in less than an hour. Looks like it's my turn. Hope to do like you did, David. Wish me luck.

I just finished the radio interview 15 mins ago! It turned out not to be so much about Pres. Mujica and his being out of the closet about his PTSD and more about Uruguay in general. There's no recording for me to post like you did, DavidNRock. But I'm glad I listened to your interview, because I kind of adopted your tone and got by OK. Whew!

Thank you for sharing your story. I've dealt with similar HOA situations on a much smaller level. I can't even imagine what you have been through. Stay strong! {HUGS}

    I have to say, I've been fairly stable for the past 9 years, except for anxiety issues.  For any who don't know me, before 2017, I was a Mess.  Seriously undermedicated crazy person.And, since I've been stable for so long, I had come to believe I was "cured".  That bipolar just miraculously ended for me....Until last month, when some things started happening that used to happen.  And now I'm...
