- I'm kinda tired lately. Nothing's wrong, just looking forward to Thanksgiving just for a break in the action. I don't have family to spend Thanksgiving with, so it'll be more about rest for me than a Thanksgiving dinner.Anybody with me?
- Today's Sunday Washington Post had a headline in the Outlook B section with the title "Why sexually abused children don't scream" by federal prosecutor Sarah...
- I've received so much support here in the last few days--an entire thread devoted to hugs for me!! It's fantastic.So I feel really sheepish reporting here, then, that I'm going through a day of constant major flashbacks. But that's exactly why I...
- Once again DS PTSD has taken the place of prn Ativan for me. Since my dx with Chronic Kidney Disease 4 years ago now, I haven't been able to take any anti-anxiety meds at all. So when my kidney lab results last Thursday came up abnormal sending my...
- Just when things were going so well. I loved speaking about PTSD at a church today, and last Sunday, too, and going to that uplifting MusiCorps concert on Friday night that celebrated PTSD recovery.But I just got an email with my lab results from...
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7urjTOyaZpoHere is a link to last night's show I did my OMG post about. It's at the end, where Roger Waters sang the Pink Floyd song "Comfortably Numb" that was a hit from the album The Wall.Notice the guys singing...
- It's going to take some time for me to process this. I thought I was just going to see a show by Roger Waters of Pink Floyd. Instead, though he was there and sang his hits, it really was a concert about PTSD!!! OMG!!Half of his band consisted of...
- I've been adjusting to living out of the closet for the first time about PTSD at my job teaching at a community college. I'm teaching a psychology class, to it's relevant. It's been a hard adjustment for me, and I got really tired last week. I...
- I'm telling my PTSD story in public tomorrow at a church. This coming out of the closet thing about my abuse and recovery all this year was exhilarating at first, but recovery is a long road in every phase, and I find myself tired. I know...
- My community college's social work program gave students the assignment to interview someone who is in a support group. So since I've been out of the closet for the first time at work about PTSD, 3 of the students from that class came to interview...
- I've been good about working hard at being real about my PTSD this week. Yesterday I had a student come to my office, tell me she had been diagnosed with PTSD, and could I find her a counselor. So I told her it was true what she heard, that I'm an...
- This year at work I'm trying to be more proactive about not letting problems build as long as I have in the past. It was so bad for me last year that it took a final countdown of support day by day at the end of the school year to get me to the...
- Deli asked me about how I felt about the Pope's visit, so I thought I'd share.I'm pretty excited about the Pope's visit, even though I'm Protestant and he's Catholic. He's spiritual and religious, but much more, too. He represents my southern...
- I walk with a lot of pain on my cane these days. Kidney disease keeps me from being able to take PTSD meds. It also has killed my nerved endings in my feet to where I walk on live bruises on the soles of them.So it was AGONY to go to the city...
- Tomorrow it will be 4 weeks into this Fall semester at my college. There have been challenges, but with support they've been met, so I felt it was time to return my gratitude to everyone. I wanted to say 3 specific things and give thanks:1. For...
