- I think I know which student complained about me for missing class because I was in the ER after falling on the ice and tearing my hamstring. Today she sat at the very front of the classroom directly facing me with her arms crossed glaring at me...
- I just got an email at home from my boss asking me to describe my accident on Blackboard for all of my students. One of them came to my boss today to complain because I had been absent Fri and today, Monday, since falling on the ice and tearing my...
- I really have tried to heal fast since falling on the ice Thursday and going to the ER Friday to find out I tore a hamstring when I fell. Today I have been able to walk a little, but not a lot. I also have a burning sensation on my leg where I...
- *@&$#^@(!*&^#$!!!This hamstring muscle tear hurts like fire every time I move, and even then the leg won't work so I can only move using a &$(#(@*!&@#$ walker just to get from my couch to the *@&$#^@(!*&^#$!!! bathroom and back every couple of...
- My Salvadoran neighbor took me to the hospital so I spent the day at the ER getting xrays to see if my fall on the ice broke my leg. It not only hurts, but it won't work, won't extend or bend. Good news is that xrays showed no broken bone, but I...
- I had one of those days. My colleague's wife was diagnosed with cancer so he asked me to take over a Thursday class for him. I'm glad to, however adding one more class meant I taught 75 minutes classes back to back all day at my community college....
- Tomorrow we go back to school after the blizzard. I want to say thanks to everybody who helped get me through being shut in because of it the last 3 days. Wow, it was the best snow storm I ever weathered. No cabin fever at all. The only thing...
- Ok, we trauma survivors know people suck. We get it. And not just people who wear "suck" signs like gangsters or junkies. People who wear "you can trust me" signs and costumes to match can really suck. Ministers (one got me), moms (one got me),...
- I was private messaging with a friend from here about the mystery of gratitude lists. Why they work when they work. They seem so corny.It came to me that a real gratitude list that works can't be an act of denial or brainwashing or putting on pink...
- We talk a lot here about how in our dysfunctional family systems a lack of boundaries brought on things like incestuous sexual assault. I'm a childhood sexual assault survivor from a perpetrator outside my home. But though in my home there wasn't...
- I live in the path of the big snow storm predicted to hit today in a few hours. I'm ready, but in my experience in the past big storms have knocked out my electric power before. If that happens and I don't log on to DS PTSD for the next couple of...
- I was talking offline with a friend who is also recovering from PTSD today. Since I've been at DS PTSD it's helped so much with my recovery that nowadays I can listen and talk about the traumatic experiences we've all had without reliving them in...
- Tomorrow's the first day of classes again. Last week my PTSD got triggered about it and anxiety gave me insomnia that kept me up all night. But thanks to you, now I'm ready. I asked for affirmations from you here. Here's what I started...
- I was out to dinner having fun with a friend last Saturday night, and lo and behold I found myself crying for a friend I lost years ago. He was a minister like me, and he spoke out against war in Central America back when. He visited me here in...
- I'm really grateful for all of the support I got here when I had insomnia the night before my community college's first day of meetings before classes start next week. I let that date come up on me totally unprepared.So now, since classes start...
