- I heard about gratitude lists before coming here, but I personally thought they were kind of pollyanna. Cursing a blue streak to relieve stress was more my style as a guy. I would do it privately at home so folks wouldn't think I was some kind...
- Meetings start at mine tomorrow, and then classes on Monday. I know it's going to be fine, but I do have to overcome some PTSD social anxiety every time. It made me wonder: is it that time for anyone else here, too?
- This is a PTSD rant because tomorrow is my abusive father's birthday. I was out of contact with him for a healthy 8 years from 1992-2000 before I checked back in to see if he had changed. Then when after he punched my face on a Christmas...
- Something happened today that was an interesting follow up to that Netflix Russell Brand film I posted about this weekend. The film was approaching psychological issues as being spiritual at the same time, too. In the film's case it was...
- Sometimes here on DS PTSD fellow members who are in AA or Alanon or other 12 step programs post about how they help in their PTSD recovery, too. Last night I watched a Russell Brand film on Netflix, just because I like comedians like Russell...
- I told a friend here at DS PTSD via private message, but I figured I'd ask for everybody's feedback in general, too. I had plans with a colleague from my college to go to dinner this evening, but he stood me up and I was left dining alone in the...
- I'm not saying this to brag, but to the contrary--to show my gratitude for DS PTSD and what it means in my offline life. One of our DS PTSD friends here sent me a message and thanked ME for being a friend. I'm so humbled. That's something that...
- I heard from dragonlady from DS PTSD on the old DS site. She's been getting emails saying friends have posted or written in their journals, but then she's been unable to log on and post a reply herself. It's as if she's only semi-migrated from...
- Holy cow, everybody. I got a positive answer from my friend I visited in Minnesota last week. Not from his wife, but at least from him. I'd discussed here that I felt like I ended up in what Pete Walker calls a "fawning" response under unfair...
- After talking here about the PTSD 4th F "fawning" here and learning more from the thread splitscreen spun off from it, I put a lot of thought into it and decided it may not be too late. I could say something about the "fawning" I felt I was...
- In processing my unpleasant PTSD triggered experience visiting an old friend last week, I realized why I had such a profound response to the dynamic of my friend's household. I usually see my friend away from home on business, but in my friend's...
- Sorry if I'm late in asking, I'm still recovering from the PTSD shaming I experienced from my host's wife last week during what was supposed to be a vacation during which a shooting in the neighborhood triggered me.In our migration from the old DS...
- I just got back from Minnesota and it was one of the worst visits anywhere in my life. That includes when I went to my abusive parents' home for Christmas in 2010 and my addle-brained elderly father, who was my abuser in childhood, punched me in...
- TWI posted already that I got stuck in St Anthony, MN by accident on vacation visting a friend just when a police involved shooting blew up the community and caused a national scandal. If you've missed all the excitement, the NY Times showed up at...
- I'm spending my vacation visiting my best friend in Minnesota, college roommate class of 1979. This is a guy who has gone back with me to South America where I grew up in a terrorist war as a missionary kid. There he went with me to the site...
