- I'm pretty good about dealing with my PTSD insomnia most of the time. But today is the first day of teacher meetings at my community college as we start a new semester. I woke up at 3:30am and was WIDE awake with anxiety squirrels running through...
- Every once in a while we need a DS PTSD group hug. We haven't had one in a while now. It's my turn to start one, because I've gotten a lot of special support from here lately. I really treasure what I've gotten from you! Thank you, and... ...
- I just heard the coolest podcast interview with Sir Patrick Stewart, the actor who played Capt. Picard on on Star Trek: The Next Generation. (Yeah, I confess, I'm a Trekkie).It was on Marc Maron's podcast, and it turned out it was ALL ABOUT PTSD. ...
- I did some more pondering about the great thread here today "social networking DS" and it led me to what makes DS PTSD so important to me.One thing that I appreciate about being here is the BROAD RANGE of our socializing here. I call it a range...
- When health stuff sends me to the doctor even when it's not directly PTSD related, it stirs me up. So I'm proud of myself that I went to the doctor today after two weeks of messed up vision in my right eye.Turns out it looks like I've got a...
- I was telling Leo today that my mind has been especially active this week during my sleep. Night before last I had PTSD nightmares, nothing memorable, just the usual. I don't hardly notice what the subconscious dished up in fearful movies any...
- The PTSD meds + diabetes onset crash of 2010 in my life left me with no PTSD meds any more and 60% kidney failure. Plus, I gained 80 pounds in just 4 months before I was diagnosed. That was shocking. We thought it was depression at first (always...
- I watched one of those Best of 2015 tv specials this weekend and they said one of the best tv shows of the last year was "Marvel's Jessica Jones" on Netflix. I'm not much for comic books, but I watched the first episode just now. Even though I'm...
- I got up this morning to a surprise. I was contacted by one of the parishioners at a little church where I have spoken often about DS PTSD. I just spoke about DS PTSD there Sunday before last, in fact.So this parishioner's wife just died after a...
- Today I heard a podcast in which comedian Bobcat Goldthwait said the most serious thing I ever heard:"You think it would be the worst thing in life to end up all alone.Then you find out it's worse if you end up with people who make you FEEL all...
- To balance out the news of Syrian war and such, I researched good things to be grateful for in the world this Christmas. I ran across this: "Women of Valor"Stories of Women Who Rescued Jews During the...
- I have mentioned this in our numerous posts this season about the loss Christmas reminds us of when we have PTSD from dysfunctional families. I'd like for us to support each other in grieving that we're not sharing happy holidays with family. But...
- I heard this Darlene Love song recently and resented it at first, since I'm always physically alone every Christmas. But it hit me. It's possible to make it a DS PTSD Christmas song, if you please.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFE4TN33DfsThe...
- This week a couple of people wanted to know what was special about DS PTSD, and I told them it was that here we have empathy, not sympathy. For me the difference means a lot. Empathy tells me somebody includes themselves and me in talking about...
- I've had one before, so I know it's no big deal, but tomorrow I go to the hospital for a colonoscopy. Colon cancer runs in my family, so it's the right thing to do.However, as I was molested as a boy, I'm not comfortable with handing over my hind...
