- I woke up atypically nauseaous this morning. Nausea then proceeded to turn to violently running at both ends. I live alone, so I had nobody to help me get to the loo. It was amazing how weak I got fast.However, it was a snow day. I got...
- I just got done with my day of interviews on the hour from 7:30am until 8:30pm (we had a business dinner). You posted when I left yesterday that I was going to do ok with this interview, and I didn't believe you. But I kind of did. It's a far...
- It was my turn to speak at a church about DS PTSD and trauma and recovery again today. As always, everyone's anonymity was closely guarded, but thanks to all for the inspiring stories of support for one another I got to pass along. Along with...
- I've learned here on DS PTSD that I'm like a lot of us, it takes a while for me to know what I'm feeling, sometimes a long time.Last week I mentioned that I'm blessed with an on campus interview for a new job next week as one of 3 finalists for a...
- From Wikipedia: Glossophobia or speech anxiety is the fear of public speaking.[1] The word glossophobia derives from the Greek γλῶσσα glōssa, meaning tongue, and φόβος phobos, fear or dread. Some people have this specific...
- I have a good crisis, a crisis from something really good that's happening, but it's still a crisis nonetheless.Since I collapsed and ended up in the hospital in 2011 to find out I had 60% permanent kidney damage, I quit my career I'd pursued for a...
- In addition to having a flood of journal notifications, my DS PTSD members are saying their journals are private any more since the last software update on DS. Is that by design? It's causing friction among members, and they say un-friending...
- For the last two weekends, I spoke at churches about PTSD and recovery. Then I taught death and dying classes at my community college in my full time job during the week. After class, a student came to office for a good cry over her dying...
- Diabetes mixed with Seroquel I took for my PTSD 7 years ago, and my doctor mistook it for thyroiditis, treated me by mistake for that with radiation for a year, and I ended up with damaged kidneys that could only produce 40 per cent. So with 60%...
- I invoked the ADA law this year for an accommodation at work via Human Resources coming out of the closet about my PTSD diagnosis. It was met with stigma, but the law was the law, so I got the accommodation I needed, which was just the right not...
- A DS PTSD friend here wrote me this today: "I think sometimes it is easier to go for bat for an innocent person then ourselves. I feel it is a step for standing up for ourselves later on too. You have opened that door, broke a pattern...." What...
- I've had another tough week and I need support to end it well tomorrow. I was diagnosed with bronchitis yesterday, and took a rare sick day. Today I kept an appointment with a surgeon to see about having surgery in May. While driving to...
- I have a hard time taking sick days. My mom had a mental illness called Munchausen Syndrom by Proxy (MSbP). While my father was away working 28 days out of 30 she got male attention from the family doctor by hurting me or my sister or making one...
- I don't know about y'all, but I just came through an unexpectedly tough week at work. Yesterday a student complaint to my boss about software problems I couldn't fix (it's not in my power to), the day before that a call for help from a distraught...
- Has anybody else noticed that if you've gotten multiple hugs lately, your hugs back got scrambled? It happened here with a couple of us last week.Well, I just heard from Daily Strength technical staff that they're fixing that next week. And some...
