- It's a constant process, trying to find that balance between good stress in my life that keeps me feeling useful, purposeful and functional vs. that bad stress that triggers me and can even put me back in the hospital. So I'm asking for help from...
- Ive noticed Im a bit agoraphobic in my recovery from my last PTSD crash in 2011. I probably was before then, but didnt admit it to myself. Being here with others whove developed the same has really helped me. Talking about it for the first time...
- No real great thoughts here. It's just that I had a bad bout of fatigue today such that I finally went to bed at 6pm. When I was young I was a night owl, but since PTSD was followed up 3 years ago by kidney disease from meds and diabetes followed...
- It happened again. Since I came here to DS PTSD to get help for myself and did, it seems like people who need help ask me and I have something to give them. That's pretty cool for someone who just was looking for help for himself to get through...
- In 2000 at the age of 42 I was committed by the court to a psych ward of a hospital because I was determined to be a danger to myself by way of suicide. I had been molested as a boy by a pedophile, beaten bloody by both parents weekly in a home...
- Just curious if anyone else has this symptom. My PTSD flashbacks come more often and more strongly when I'm tired. So when I'm tired I try to take a nap, but then naps are the time when I'll lie down and have either a flashback or a nightmare...
- This sequel to the original thread called Great listener! Too intense! is to report what became of your supporting me as a college teacher despite having my boss hang that label on me. I may fail to get tenure in 2 years if that label works against...
- Tomorrow's when this yearly job evaluation of mine a the college where I teach is due, and my boss had me come in to talk to her today. I said in posts earlier this week about this process that I have high evaluation numbers of 4 out of 5 across...
- I am going to lose the rest of my mind if it keeps on snowing.I"m locked indoors for the third time in a month with nothing but my computer and my PTSD ghosts.OK, fun's over, enough already. Need a little help down here, God.I have alphabetized my...
- I lost my job in 2011 due to how my PTSD symptoms wore me down and compromised my functioning. I found a less stressful job and work full time again, and its a blessing, but its still a challenge. I wanted to check in and see if others felt that,...
- My yearly teaching evaluation meeting with my boss at the community college went well today. It matters because its my last one before I got up for tenure, which is an all or nothing deal. If you dont get tenure you get fired.It was really good...
- I do fine with my teaching evaluations at the college when my boss reviews them once a year. Translating our point system to the grading system we all had back in school, I usually run a good B average on the forms my students fill out after every...
- I expressed my gratitude for DS PTSD in church today. Don't get to go often, not a hugely social guy what with my symptoms. But I spoke from the pulpit to the congregation about PTSD stuff as a guest speaker today, and I got to be publicly thankful...
- Maybe it's off topic, but forgive me. It's cold in North America these days. Even my PTSD has icicles hanging from it. I'm a homebody due to my PTSD on most days, but even more so now. Anybody else cold out there?
- I live not too far from where there was another random shooting at a mall yesterday. I got PTSD from living in a city overseas where I survived lethal incidents going with my family for ice cream, going bowling. I've been safe in the USA from that...
