- pp just sent me a message that she is in the ER and is really scared. She asked me to post here asking for prayers and support, so I wanted to let everybody know. She went in day before yesterday, I think.Much support to you, pp. We're here...
- I'm really ticked off this morning that I had a brutal PTSD nightmare about gunplay last night. I'm on Prazosin and it is supposed to prevent nightmares like that. I got through the July 4th fireworks fine yesterday without having them trigger...
- Has anybody seen Looney from the old site? I haven't yet, and I wonder if she made the transition. She had an animated Mona Lisa avatar and hailed to us from Australia. Hope she's with us here.
- Every month or so I speak on PTSD at one of two churches in my area, and today I spoke at one. I'm free to speak from the heart without having to actually belong to the church. I had the best time with the church folks I had had in a long time. ...
- As many here know, in addition to PTSD I've got chronic kidney disease at a level near dialysis. I have only 40% of my kidney function, which means my blood to my extremities isn't oxygenated enough. So I have nerve damage in my legs and walk with...
- This is off topic, but it's still part of my PTSD recovery process. I'm trying to get out and about more even if it means going solo. I went to a show 2 hours away this weekend and saw a nationally known comedian live in concert. His funniest bit...
- I just found out I'll be going to a baseball game with a best friend of mine when I make my visit to see him next month. Awesome. I had a friend here at DS PTSD tell me about going to a ball game with Dad this Father's Day. That is so awesome. I'm...
- TWThe Orlando nightclub killings last night triggered me today. I feel badly about it, because I don't feel like I deserve to be comforted about it, but it did trigger me so I'm asking for any support for it. Somehow it brought back unwanted...
- Since I speak about PTSD a lot at 2 local churches, I went to one of them today just as an attendee to thank them. When I got tenure, they bought a congratulations card and a bunch of members of the congregation signed it with really nice messages...
- Until 2007, I focused on the 1st 2 out of 3 of my traumas that gave me PTSD. Healing by talking about surviving sexual assault and domestic violence as a kid seemed to be a more reasonable expectation. Talking about surviving torture at the hands...
- http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/meet-the-courtroom-dogs-who-help-child-crime-victims-tell-their-stories/The PBS news hours yesterday had the coolest story about how kids like many of us were are not only testifying in court against their...
- Chronic stuff takes a lot of patience on the part of each of us who has the chronic illness. It takes more patience on the part of others, I've found.In addition to PTSD, for the last 5 years I've had chronic kidney disease. One of the side...
- I've been diagnosed with PTSD since 1995, but this past year I decided to "come out of the closet" about it, with both good and bad results. But mostly good. It was really something I did for me so I could push back on the stigma I got so tired...
- As I've said here before, some of my PTSD comes from domestic violence in my home in childhood. Then some comes from surviving sexual assault in childhood. Lastly, some comes from combat situations I survived as a missionary kid whose family...
- I'm feeling in need of some inspiration as to living with PTSD. As a present to myself, I bought a ticket to the Billy Connolly comedy show this Saturday. I was reading up on him, and lo and behold, he's a major survivor of childhood physical and...
