- I was telling 52 in a private message today that I'm having low blood sugar trouble but my mind keeps panicking that it's PTSD. It was a low blood sugar day for some reason, so that was tough. Kept taking sucrose tablets but just couldn't boost...
- Once in a while the name of our site, "daily strength" takes on added meaning for me. Every few months in my life with PTSD it seems like I experience a cycle of exhaustion from it. That happened this weekend. I'm teaching summer school, which I...
- It's good that here at DS PTSD we respect our broad range of political and religious beliefs and don't try to convert one another. So this post is presented in that spirit. It's just that the news today says that a gunman entered a church in...
- It's kind of embarrassing to admit, but I've noticed something in talking with my therapist. After surviving my original abuse from my family, as an adult I've chosen relationships with abusive people a lot like my original abusive family. What's...
- Your support will be appreciated. We'll see what happens. Muji
- I joined DS PTSD 3 years ago on June 10, 2012. My doc had just taken me off PTSD meds because of kidney failure they caused me. I'd taken them since 1995, so I was frightened. No one knew, not even my docs, what would happen when the meds were...
- Got my community college's contract to teach again next year. That's nice to have in hand. Last year to year contract before I go up for tenure. If I get it then the contracts are automatic yearly ever after. That'll be nice security in my old...
- For the last six months I've really tried hard to get out of it, but tomorrow morning I am due bright and early for jury duty. I haven't mentioned it here because I have been in denial about it until the last minute.I know I may not be selected,...
- Thanks to the mention of their song "Distant Early Warning" here on DS PTSD a couple of weeks ago, I'm going to a RUSH rock concert tomorrow. It's part of my continuing effort to be a functioning person at work and entertainment with PTSD. It...
- Thanks to all for helping me get through the school year's end 2 weeks ago. I made it across the finish line with your support. What a marathon!Today summer school starts, so I'll carry the memory of your support with me as I go teach today. One...
- I know I'm half nuts wanting to go back every year to the country where I grew up in a war and dictatorship and got PTSD.http://rt.com/in-motion/260805-march-dictatorship-victims-uruguay/But like the swallows that fly from South America to...
- Now that I've survived my 4th year in this job, I'm grateful for all the DS PTSD support you've given me to make me able to do that with my PTSD. Before 2011 I had 5 jobs in 4 years. To be stable for 4 years now and be up for tenure next year for...
- This is a difficult issue to bring up here, as a guy. FF and TW.I haven't had a date in 5 years, and I don't plan to. 4 years ago I got diagnosed with kidney failure from PTSD meds. The kidney damage was caught so late, though, that it caused a...
- I liked the poem "Sitting With The Shattered Soul" that AloneNaturally posted so much I decided to share a short form of Desiderata. It was written in the 1930s and went unnoticed until a minister at a church in Baltimore quoted it in 1956. I live...
- I don't have lots of friends, what with PTSD and living alone and all. But I just found out that my best friend at the community college where I teach is going to get an award for distinguished service to the college on Tuesday. His wife wants me...
