- I've been struggling with a respiratory infection for 2 weeks now. I am half way through my antibiotics for it and have been good about staying cooped up to let them work for me. Starting tomorrow I have to get out and about for the next four...
- I made it to the end of the semester's classes and went to the doctor to find out I'm sicker than I thought I was. Respiratory infection, the trifecta: sinusitis, laryngitis, bronchitis, the whole thing, headed toward walking pneumonia.So I...
- I got up this morning and went through my usual steps on my laptop to log on to our DS PTSD site and had trouble right off the bat.Then overcoming that, when I got here the physical format of the website had changed, even the colors of some...
- Over the weekend I was looking for some songs of comfort and validation concerning the kind sort of experiences we share here at DS PTSD about being survivors of chaos as kids. I found this song that talked about a lot of things we share about...
- This past August I came back star struck from seeing the Canadian band Arcade Fire live in Washington, DC and you Canadian friends here told me to check out The Tragically Hip, too. I'd never heard of them.Tonight I've watched the Netflix...
- I came all the way to DC for my solo Thanksgiving last night. Yet this morning I had a "spasm" of loneliness that triggered my PTSD and all the reasons symptoms have led to isolation. That PTSD "spasm" led to defeatist self-talk with which...
- TWI have to be one of the most friggin' unlucky people on the planet. I'm getting stalked by my family of origin's friend. Believe or not, he is an ex-FB I agent. Yep. He just pulled up behind me in his car when I went for a walk right...

- I'm tired but proud of myself for not giving up because things aren't perfect at my community college any more than they are on DS with its tech glitches these days. If I can't get a better job so be it, but I think my PTSD recovery is such...
- I had the most technical trouble ever logging on to DS this morning. I made 2 dozen attempts of all kinds, re-booting and re-registering, etc.--before I had to give up. This afternoon I logged on ok, but I'd like to report to Daily Strength...
- My boss's boss got very foolish in an all college meeting yesterday. It has staff and faculty abuzz in a mood for mutiny. In front of us all, he made an hour long speech about how open he is to "shared governance" but then told us he was...
- Today I led a 40 student field trip by bus taking the death and dying nursing students in the community college classes I teach to DC to visit the Holocaust Museum. It was excrutiatingly painful walking through the museum for me on my cane with my...
- I mentioned this week that I've had a harder semester since I came out of the closet at work and asked for an ADA accommodation from my PTSD so I wouldn't have to teach overloads, just the 5 courses my contract calls for every semester at my...
- If I can just make it to noon Friday I will be able to fall forward across the finish line in this marathon that this semester has been for me at work. Since I asked for an ADA accommodation for my PTSD to work a normal load instead of constant...
- PTSD Meeting & Tom Petty SwinginHere in gratitude is an update on that scary meeting my boss had me attend with the dean today about my ADA workplace accommodation at my college to stop teaching overload schedules and teach a normal load of...
