- I just had a conflict with my boss at work. I have to say, it went well. Can you believe I'm saying that? She got angry in our conversation, and excused herself for 5 minutes to leave the room, get it together, and come back. When she came back...
- Tomorrow I'm speaking at a church about DS PTSD and how much it means for us to support each other here so no one suffers alone. I propose the dream that people some day get past the PTSD stigma. That though we're far from it, the whole world...
- A can of worms has been opened because at my community college where I teach. My Chair requested that I sub for a few weeks for a colleague. It brought a problem to light. I didn't reveal it, but students did: my colleague wasn't doing his job...
- I used to live in Kansas, and last night the news displayed a workplace mass shooting there.Today I opened the newspaper from Montevideo, Uruguay and it said people there where I grew up are now arming themselves for self defense.TWI came here to...
- At the community college where I teach I have a student this semester that is impressing the heck out of me with her courage. Most of all because she doesn't try to impress, she just does her thing. She's a mother of a 5 year old girl who was born...
- I followed up on the support I got here at DS PTSD and rather than self sabotage I turned in my 5 year tenure report Monday--all 300 pages of it. So Tuesday I rewarded myself by going to a Bruce Springsteen concert. I was touched to tears when he...
- Thanks to everyone who "gave me a hoot" this week and helped me get my 300 page tenure document in on time without self sabotage. I just turned it in! Yay!I have a history with self sabotage and tenure. I had tenure in 2000 at a university, so...
- Thanks for all the support while I've been plugging away all weekend at that tenure paperwork I've got to turn in on Wed. Feb 17th up coming.I printed all 5 years of evaluations off and it came to 300 pages! Holy cow!I'm especially proud of notes...
- Working through the weekend on my tenure paperwork due Wed. Feb. 17, y'all. Despite all the crazy interruptions falling on the ice and ending up in the ER, and then this week with the eye doctor stuff. Almost lost this job to PTSD and had to go on...
- Thanks so much for the support for my eye doctor visit. It went ok, but turned into a "yikes" because re-testing found cataracts in both eyes, not just one, such that I didn't have surgery today. I'll have 2 surgeries instead, one on March 10th...
- Yes, February is turning into a stressful month. Now it's outpatient eye surgery Thursday Feb. 11th.After falling on the ice last week and tearing a hamstring that put me in a walker for a few days and has me on a cane now.While going up for tenure...
- Yesterday I went to print off 5 years of documents for work and found one missing. So I tore my house apart and even plugged in an old desktop I had in storage to find it. I got only 3 hours sleep from looking all night. But it turns out it's...
- A friend from here at DS PTSD was good enough to private message me and suggest I be clearer. When I posted that I am "needing role reversal" I am asking for support, please. For the reasons listed there. Thanks.Muji
- I posted support for someone else here who has spent a lot of time lately attending to the needs of others, and I realized I've done that a lot lately, too, and I need to face it.Not that I've been any kind of superhero saint or martyr. I'm not dumb...
- I shared this by private message with a friend here and decided to give it a general share.I am a fan of the tv show Longmire on Netflix. I just saw an episode that dealt with both PTSD and being a rape survivor in the same show. It took place on...
